Pretty late bakes, lately.

This is your daily reminder that if you're not opposing the proliferation of gambleslop you are enabling or even supporting the world becoming an unlivable shithole full of mentally ill people by the time you are old and at the mercy of other humans

When it comes to the steam next fest, can the demo already be out or is supposed to be exclusive? What works best for it?

>>531991407
Old? This will be a reality within the next 10 years if we keep going.

sooo.... what do i do now...?

>>531991407
>gambleslop
A tale as old as time. It is their weakness of soul that draws them to it, not he gambleslop which causes their soul to weaken

>>531991407
start with fighting back the actual slop that we're being fed anon then worry about reaction pepes and video games

>>531991703
Do the hard/boring stuff first if you aren't feeling inspired at the moment

Do you have some kind of ritual to get you into gamedev mode?

the resolution is from a pixel shader - but its not done yet
i like how it looks (even if its a mark of slop) but im gonna make it a setting to lower the pixelization

>>531991974
I imagine a boot stomping my lazy mind into a bloody pulp and then the productive mind awakens and then gets to work since he's not a faggot

>>531991974
usually i open my engine and start devving away

I just want to make a harem VN with 256 characters, that only shows a limited number of girls on every run like a 2D fighting game, but make each waifu to be a fully fleshed character so there's actually 256 real stories that make a giant ensemble cast.

And mechanically add mostly VN mechanics but also a calendar system like tokidoki memorial and most of the gui and CGI similar to dimensions 69, but also add some of the combat of undertale.

should I use Unslop or Slopity?

>>531992051
he's a fun-dude.

>>531992523

>>531991407
>supporting the world becoming an unlivable shithole full of mentally ill people by the time you are old and at the mercy of other humans
Don't worry, as an accelerationist I'll support the world turning into a shithole long before I turn old.

>>531992523
easy, just ask gpt to write you 256 waifus

Is there a good youtube playlist to teach me how to make vidya music in a DAW/MIDI?

I played like 25 different muds today for research purposes and they were all sniff-their-own-farts tier rp-mandatory slop...

this isn't what I remember...

Anyone got tips for making a moblie game

>>531993098
Yeah,

This is a visual novel with gameplay and with 100 different routes. Made in 5 years, by an industry veteran with 20 years of games released under his belt, and even some light novels written and anime directed.
And you are telling me you want to write 256 routes for some reason. You think you're better than him?

>>531992998
There's a book called gradus at parnassum from Fux, that is better than 99.9999% of the rest of compositional teaching materials.
Another book called figuring out melody also teaches how to compose music.

I learned composition from those two books.

As for other things, you have to learn like what are the sections of a song, like the intro, verse, chorus, bridge, coda.

Also, learn the types of instruments of modern EDM, which are lead, pluck, pad, bass, SFX, ambient, noise, drum kits.
Beyond that, just compose a lot using diferent chords from the circle of fiths.

In the end composition is less about finding a magical theory book that can make you good and is just composing and composing a lot.

>>531992594
Slopdot, slop maker even. Or, roll your own kitchen.

>>531993380
99.9% of that shit is graphics, not writing.

You're basically saying, wow, you need 5 million 2D HD anime pussy frames to make bible black by an AAA studio, do you think you can make a manga?

A VN like higurashi is a realistic project, since most of the art can be recicled like most VN, using a modular system of layers.

The other thing is writing, but the writing doesn't need to be words, words, words.

A single chapter could easily be like a biblical chapter which many times is just a half page.

>>531992594
i just started unslop and it is so massive and slow I already want to change to another.

>>531992051
the shader looks like shit

>>531992051
pogonig...

>>531992594
>>531993752
Slopity is the choice if you want to finish and release.

>>531992051
What's the point of doing the lower resolution in a pixel shader? Why not just render to a lower resolution?

>>531993693
>99.9% of that shit is graphics, not writing.
No, it's still writing. 60 novels worth of writing.
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/05/the-hundred-lines-script-is-long-enough-to-print-60-paperback-novels
If you were familiar with the game series you'd know it's defined entirely by its writing, and the guy in question is a writer first and foremost.

i'm going insane

I've been insane for 2 years

I want to use momentum in my 3d platformer but holy shit i can’t get this guy to not skid around like he’s on ice.

I got tired of having to find where svg icons are and how to make an icon for custom types, as I am always making custom types that are variants of base types that automate the stuff that I'd have to do manually and then I just add my custom types and they automatically do whatever setup I'd normally have to do, finding the icon files to quickly modify in inkscape was taking too much of the time when making new ones so I made a tool on my custom tab that scrapes the github HTML and generates rawcontent urls and dispalys them as buttons and i just click the button and it downloads that and saves it to the folder then opens inkscape on that local file, i edit and save, done.

Don't vibe code your Godot game with AI, you will regret it.
AI doesn't know shit about GDscript or how to make vidya.

t. lost the past two days trying to debug shit and ruined my project

Now I have go back to my earlier backup and start over.

>>531994118
Let me show you this.

"He woke up that day, unaware it will be his last day before his understanding of writing would change to a sudden end".

You don't need to write words words words for 500 pages.

Microfiction can sometimes write deeper shit than 500 pages of fiction of a noob.

Google killed mobile games, it's impossible to make it now unless you're a big dog or already popular. Apple store still somewhat works but the barriers are up too.

Nobody cares about mobile games anymore, not even rice nigs (they only play gacha anyway).

I hope this a better game than your last shitty memeslop fumble

What's the optimal angle for sprites that don't have directionals? I was planning on rendering only one direction and then flipping the sprite depending on which way they're moving. I think how much it needs to face to the side/front might depend on the model. On this slime it's nice that the eye is visible. I'm not sure how much I should rotate the camera up though. First two are 0 degrees and the bottom two are 15 and 30 degrees.

>>531994474
Hold on I fucked it up
the total friction subtracted needs to be a product of velocity and a constant
so its more like
if (velocity > 0)
. velocity -= velocity * friction;

>>531994405
skill issue
i made 2 godot mobile games with it using cursor + claude 40$ a month for over 10 months

>>531993062
I checked out a bunch of MUDs like 5 years ago and the ONLY ones that still exist are the ones that take themselves way too seriously for their 20 active player userbases. I played a ton of them before EverQuest released and there were a million super casual MUDs and they all used that one South Park season 1 map. I think that's lost media at this point.

And yes, I'm old as fuck. Tendies unrelated.

>>531988883
I like this description the most, it feels the most authentic, you have to admit it makes a lot of sense and I think it resonates with 4chan pretty well.
>>531987780
I was loosely inspired by Chaos Engine stat screen. Loosely as I saw it a long time ago and thought it looked neat but I didn't try to copy it. Now that I see it again though I feel foolish, as it looks much, much better.
>>531988141
I think it works as a lousy joke. All sprites were already in the game and there aren't any special animations for pickpocketing or opening chests.

>Dude, the hundrer line is a masterpiece
Fearsome as I be may, as I though, that I could enjoy such careless attempt at prose creation, of the pure mental fornication, that is the aliteration of words, arranged in a setting, that for some reason, unaware am I fond of their literature foul.
Such cretan masterpiece of japanese translation, was nothing but just a mere masturbation asume and appaled am I and thou of mere expectation such as those words meant to me.

Words, words, words, written about the cliche adventure about some future, translation lost the magical touch to preserve in your jupiter expression.

High school dramma written for younger american calfs, do not represent, as much as you care to resent, to whoever and whatsoever in such forever.

To attempt and assume, that I should consume such literary raft, written for a nation of 40% iliteration in the consumption of word smiths relevations, for the total american paper ahiquilitation of their own mental conception, what a shitstorm of such foundations, my dear chud.

>Kodaka wrote the first route in the game, with Uchikoshi working on the branching system and general ideas of what happens in the branch stories. This was followed by distributing the routes to writers as necessary. By September 2023, the writing team was not complete, leading to others to join the writing team for the branch narratives, including Kyouhei Oyama and Youichirou Koizumi to join to write branch stories.
Writing Team. More than one guy, more than one guy on a team. There were multiple people writing that. Don't act like Miyamoto made Mario or Kojima made MGS all by himself,

>>531993098
mobile games only makes sense if your game is multi platform. For example an idle game where the player can continue playing on mobile when they're away from their desktop.

>>531995771
I was thinking it's too much. Wouldn't it look weird when the sprite is moving up?

>>531996780
Yes, there is an entire writing team, but I was trying to lay it down to him gently as I explained that even solo writing 100 routes would be a massive feat for an industry veteran, let alone 256 for an amateur like he was dreaming.

>>531997375

make it free and then squeeze the 0.1% whales for everything they got
of course you'll probably get like 500 downloads in a year if that, but the mobile app stores algorithms are wild and sometimes they'll throw you thousands of downloads a day for no reason. it'll go the other way too. sometimes back and forth.

lololol

>>531998190
filter all idiots at the start
problem solved

>>531998036
Amateur means you are not getting paid to write. This means you have not been tested by deadlines and a need to write consistently to survive.
Note: at no point have I brought "quality of writing" in the discussion, just quantity. There's plenty of extremely skilled amateurs and incompetent professionals, but that was not the point of discussion here, we weren't talking about whether your 256 unique routes were going to be good, rather if they can even exist at all.

>>531997519
probably not since the culprits are jews trying to keep their monopoly on porn (all big porn websites are owned by the same company, all the big gay sites are owned by an israeli couple) but maybe there will be a crypto alternative that doesnt rely on central banking

>>531998190
every question where you wonder if it's impossible that a person will fail or will be too dumb to understand, assume 50% of the population will be even much dumber than that.

Also, focus on making a good tutorial but make it so everything is explained with the tutorial and an ingame manual.

Don't assume people are dumb, design everything for the dumbest person you can imagine and even then make it 10 times more obvious and dumb.

>>531998367
my 256 routes will be nothing but like 5-10 pages of text.

You assume I was talking about making every route a full novel lenght.

>>531998508
Ya I wondering if the Jews at pornhub were going to have a video game section or something. One that the credit card companies allow. Or maybe they'll just infiltrate Steam and once they run it they'll allow porn again.

>>531998523
It is true that most of players' failures comes from lack of proper understanding of the game
And that is the game's fault for not explaining well
but...
I was thinking more about, what about every player failure that simply results from them just not being smart enough, lol

It's not a game's responsibility to make itself as effortless and accessible as possible to players.
Smart games result in dumb players.
If the player doesn't want to put in even 1% work then he can fuck off
If you want to watch a movie boot up your goyflix

>>531998802
I think your first concern is teaching the player properly how to play.

and yes, some humans are dumb, and some humans are so stupid they can't even operate computers.

But at the same time, the gamers that play steam I think are smart enough to figure out things.

If you have a proper training mode where noobs can safetly learn the rules, and make so the basic story is basically a tutorial, you'll do fine.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbzhHSexzpY

This gdc lecture is great to explain how to design a tutorial for moms.

>>531998936
I agree. Zelda has imo become a much worse experience ever since the water temple. People cried so hard about that temple that it resulted in Wind Waker. The most childish and idiotic Zelda game ever. And the legacy carries on. Breath of the Wild, while being an overall masterpiece, the Temples were awful. Completely idiot proof, no thought involved at all. What balances this out, was the 100 small puzzles scattered throughout in the form of shrines.

>>531991813
This, you will thank yourself later.
>t. working on a chunk loading system right now

>>531999260
The way I look at it, nta btw, is that anyone who would by a game like mine, a Business Sim, they are probably smart enough to read instructions. So I'll make a tutorial that they can access at any time. But much is up to the player to think of strategy. It'll probably be a bunch of INTJ's playing my game. You really just need to know your audience.

>>531998640
>my 256 routes will be nothing but like 5-10 pages of text.
That's still 2560 pages of text. An average novel has 400 pages. But go on.

>>531998936
You're right but players don't think this way and will give it negative reviews because they HATE when a game reminds them of their inadequacy. They even make up problems like performance and bugs because they're jealous of me.

>>531998802
I forgot to add.

You should create enough safe rooms where begginers can focus on mastering the basics first.

Your issue is mostly from game designers expecting everyone to be a 20 year old veteran that understand all your favorite games gameplay cliches.

You need to design your story route to provide safe rooms for the player to overcome.

Most of the time, your first enemy should be a complete dummy that can't hurt the player or kill him.

>>531999409
look up videos explaining how miyamoto designed mario 1-1 level as a tutorial for the game.

>>531999470
Not everything is a videogame is text.

Besides a lot of those texts can be emulated better with a picture made from a 3D render.

>>531998190
Honestly I thought up of something, possibly answering my own question
So there's two forms of problems that a player can face
One that involves their brain not working
Another that involves them not understanding the game well enough
For the second problem, the solution is simply a really good tutorial
For the first, there isn't really a solution, and the first isn't even really a problem
I was actually thinking of the first case when I made this post.
But, it's not really a problem because most people are actually smart enough to solve alot of problems
And even if they aren't, this is what hints exist for. You can give them a hint.
That's all I guess. It was a "not really a problem" problem that I was thinking of.

>>531999276
>being an overall masterpiece
I wouldn't say that. It's pretty good sandbox and has nice effects but the experience is overall hollow. They only went in 40% on even the toughest side puzzles

>>531999260
Thanks, I added my own thoughts here:
>>531999846

>>531998190
Quite literally the only thing I've found so far is to dampen the screen, have a flashing arrow, and then don't let them do anything else. Otherwise they zone out and miss whatever they're supposed to do.
I used to design and plan around the concept that players can really only focus on 3 things at a time but I was mislead, they can barely even focus on 1 thing.

>>531992523
first make one appealing character design that gets fan art made when you post it places

>>532000041
you should look up the videos that analize level 1-1 of mario as a tutorial level.

>>531999916
>I wouldn't say that.
Well, you're wrong.

>>532000227
How do you call something a masterpiece when you yourself claimed that the main temples are terrible? A game should be measured holistically.

Honestly the issue of 256 stories, doesn't lie so much in writing thousand of pages.

I think is an engineering issue with a bit of game design.

Basically it boils down to telling the story with game mechanics rathern than with pages of text.

>>532000364
It's essentially top 3 games in terms of world immersion. In terms of meaningful content. Quality of everything is high. It's a masterpiece.

Skyrim has moments of immersion but not really. RDR II has such an intensely awful quest system it's impossible to ignore. Then on top of that the bizarrely annoying crafting system.

At least with Breath of the Wild you have hundreds of puzzles to do. Even if most are easy, some are fun.

Some pixel work for G-MAN before I go to work. Looking at downtown San Francisco for inspiration, I want the buildings to be covered in shadow but have a subtle glow in the right places so the player can recognize them as much.

It hasn't even gotten started yet, no way I'm giving up on this. It's a fun opportunity to make some engrossing and atmospheric set pieces for an action shooter. The idea I showed in the last thread is just easier because it's a single-screen arcade concept. This one's going to take more time to really bring out the mood in each stage.

Actually if you really want to get autistic about it you can force yourself, but game development is such a time-intensive, energy-intensive, attention-intensive undertaking that if you decide to do force yourself to the limit with a game you don't give a shit about you will be torturing yourself in the name of a game you will not be proud of making and which still has a chance at failing at the end of it

Why not have a list of obstacles you can place instead of drawing polygons by hand every time you want to add something?

And that's the surface level stuff. Believe or not the main problem of that game is that it's not Immersive enough. What are you even supposed to immerse yourself in? A medieval world with heroes doing quests, except you can't even see any part of the world, and there are computers or something?

>>532003839
Look up Stunts. It's a 1990 game where you drive on crazy tracks with cars and you could build your own tracks. What you're making looks like it could be a 2D version of it.

this post was meant for me. No I am not joking nor am I being delusional. I planned this for years, worked every day on my game. I avoided every mistake, did my market research, learned all the skills, optimized my game, and paid attention to all the fumbles of the discord devs' releases. I am a few months away from release. Thank you for acknowledging my hard work and accomplishments. Cheers!

>>532001869
I tell you why. Most of it is unoriginal 2d slop or managment nonsense or whatever other nonsense nobody would even download for free. Make something people ACTUALLY want to play. Give them juice, give them action give them A REASON TO BUY YOUR GAME.

a lot of that art do be looking like AI slop

My game is currently about 50 minutes of play. I could easily extend that 150 or longer but I am afraid it might start to feel repetitive or the player might quit the game before getting to the end. I intentionally didn't add a save feature. Some players could probably beat the game in ten minutes depending on their reaction time but the average player might take 100 minutes.

Is it always better to just add more content even if you think the player will give up?

This is the reason I dev. So I can buy a house in the middle of nowhere and live off the land. This guy has actually made it.

>>532006389
Do blends from any state when it makes sense. Subgraphs can also help.
Alternatively roll your own controller that blends between the states and use the animatorController as something to hold the different states. You can cache all the names and use variables instead of strings to call them.

Is itch.io even relevant in 2025? Is Steam the only way to release a game anymore?

>>532007339
Google trends shows interest in itch is at an all-time high so maybe that's the platform for me. I can't afford any fees or a unity license and I don't expect a significant number of people to buy my game so maybe the free + donation model is a good choice.

>>532006641
a guy who lives in the city made this

>>532007137
"Relevant"? Idk. I sold like 2 copies of my game at least (plus 5 pity buys) and I hear that certain devs like the EroDungeons or what it was called guy can even make a living off their itch sales.

>>532007806
Of course. The guys on top don’t know what’s going on in the cities, so they couldn’t make that image.

I asked DeepSeek about horror games earlier and it immediately began talking about itch. Make of that what you will.
>>532003974
Very good point honestly. It may be a bit better in a sci-fi / space faring setting (and make the computer look cool greenish not like wood), or even better in a "virtual reality" setting where you send your little AI agents out into the depths of the (dark) web?
Not sure any of these ideas are cutting it. But I feel you’re making a very good point (I tested hfh multiple times)

Holy fucking shit ChatGPT is so fucking useful for pixel art. I'm starting to see why artists are so massively fucking butt hurt about this.

Is there any reason to not use it besides "ethics"? It's just so fucking useful as an amateur that already has a full time job not to have to spend hours creating art that can be made in literal seconds

also good luck animating them

>>532010787
You're robbing yourself of growth
In 10 years, if you made everything yourself you'd be a master
In 10 years, if you delegate everything to AI, then you're still the same unskilled schmuck you always were.
There's nothing special about an AI creation.
But a creation built by your own two hands will always be special, if because nothing else you're growing and learning.
Leaning on AI will rob you of your potential

>>532010787
not using AI for art is like not using tablets for art of a computer for calculations

>tfw when "artis impact" abbreviates to AI

>>532011067
I mean not really. If I was able to make a game and actually made a profit as an indie, I'd just hire an actual dev for my next game. But if art takes so much time that my game will never be made I'd rather just use the AI
>>532011083
I don't really feel that bad considering it's pixel art too
>>532011017
It was amazing because I was able to tell it 1) what colors to use 2) what dimens i.e. 32 by 32 and 3) what game to style it after. I literally said make buildings in the old Simcity 2000 artstyle and it fucking nailed it

>>532010869
if you use photos and 3d you didn't make it by hand

People who use AI for art don't "get it" and they never will
Nothing they create will contain soul
And nothing you say to them will change their mind

if you can't make AI output soul then it's skill issue, you're a shit prompt engineer blaming his tools

>/agdg/ continue to be starving artists butthurt about technology instead of programmers or devs
And we wonder why this place never makes anything

>>532011585
I see soul as an extension of the creator's soul placed into the piece
It takes soul to make soul, and AI is inherently soulless by its nature

>"Sorry Timmy, I know you have a disability that makes art incredibly difficult compared to typing on a keyboard, your hands keep shaking, but the furry artists really need to pretend that AI is this evil tool, not like all the other tools they use, so it's better if you just never design your game"

boomer artists say the same about computers btw

I bet there exists a fallacy name for this. Just "think about the people that this technology would help"
It was also said for brainchips.
I'm not trying to make any statements, just pointing it out.

If ai looks bad I'm not going to buy your game. Sorry ai fags, I won't support you just because you use ai. If your game looks good i might but i have yet to see one ai game that looks good

>>532011838
>>532011994
And they were right

Well, I never really said much about it, but my stance on AI is that you need to ask yourself first why you're using it.
Don't jump to "it's bad" , "it's good" ask yourself why it even exists
You gotta think about it
I don't use it because it offers nothing to me
I'm not a good artist but I still would rather draw stuff by myself because it's therapeutic and rewarding
That is all, thanks for reading my blog post

in life you use every tool at your disposal. Anything else is just being a fag

>>532012018
Key fallacies present
1 False Dilemma (False Dichotomy)
The statement sets up an either/or choice:
Either Timmy avoids AI art or he can’t make his game at all.

It ignores any nuance, like:
— Collaborating with human artists
— Using partial AI assistance ethically
— Licensing assets
— Using AI as a tool while crediting human work

It falsely presents the situation as two rigid options when there are clearly middle grounds.

2 Appeal to Emotion (Pathos manipulation)
The argument emotionally shames Timmy by implying that he would harm the community by daring to use AI — despite his disability.

It positions him as selfish or morally wrong for prioritizing his personal ability and creative freedom.

This emotional guilt tactic tries to override reasonable discussion about fair accommodations or trade-offs.

3 Ad Populum (Appeal to Popular Opinion)
“The furry artists really need to pretend AI is evil…” implies:
Because the majority or a vocal group thinks “AI is evil,” that alone makes it wrong for Timmy to use it — regardless of his individual situation.

It equates popular sentiment with moral or logical truth.

4 Begging the Question / Loaded Language
The phrasing “pretend AI is evil” loads the argument with bias.
It assumes the position that the anti-AI stance is fake or insincere, but then still uses it to justify shutting Timmy down — this muddles the argument and short-circuits real debate about the actual merits or ethical issues.

>>532012415

>>532012492
create a noose

>>532012476
I mean does it not apply? reductio ad absurdum is a great way to start the argument at the base level. AI is already a great tool for people with disabilities. It could allow someone who can't physically do art still create art from what they can imagine in their minds

And if it's fine for them, why isn't it fine for us? Just because some furry faggot will lose his porn income?

>>532012519
How nuance is shut down
Instead of balancing Timmy’s disability and the ethical concerns about AI art, the argument:

Ignores possible compromises (partial use, disclosure, licensing)

Flattens a complex issue into moral posturing

Tries to make Timmy feel morally inferior for wanting to create at all

Comparison: brain chips or assistive tech
You see similar flawed reasoning with emerging assistive tech, like brain-computer interfaces or exoskeletons:

“We shouldn’t allow brain chips because they’ll ‘cheapen’ human effort — so it’s better if disabled people just accept their limitations.”
This erases nuance around how these tools empower people with disabilities to participate more fully in society.

This is the same false dilemma: use nothing at all or be “pure.”

And the same appeal to emotion: you’ll ruin “real” humanity if you use tools to help yourself.

Relevant fallacies summarized
Fallacy How it applies
False Dilemma Ignores reasonable middle options
Appeal to Emotion Uses guilt or moral shaming
Ad Populum Uses the majority’s opinion as a blunt moral cudgel
Begging the Question / Loaded Language Assumes the group is “pretending” without proving it, yet uses it as fact

Bottom line
This argument tries to shut down Timmy’s personal context by replacing nuanced ethics with a rigid moral signal — enforcing social purity at the cost of actual accessibility or empowerment.

It’s a great example of how good-faith ethical concerns can turn into gatekeeping when they ignore individual trade-offs, real-world contexts, and alternative solutions.

What if the AI art is generated with a LoRA that was made with the artist's blessing? Would people still sperg out about that?

I usually don't but this time I'm considering it

Understanding the opinions and actions of aggydaggers becomes a lot easier once you start assuming that they are all bitter underachieving unloved losers who have been terminal outsiders all their lives

Why does the inner circle exist? Who do they circlejerk each other so much? Why do they ignore the good games while pedestalizing the mediocre slop of their peers? Easy, the people here have recreated a pseudo-high-school environment where they get to be the popular kids. They get to be the elite clique at the center of everything. In a way, they don't even give a shit about their steam performance, because at the end of it all they still have their status within the agdg ecosystem.
For the longest time I didn't understand why so many people here loved AI or discriminated my game but it all falls into place once you start paying attention. They despise me and my game because they view me as an insider - someone who's a real developer with real skills and real integrity, and because they can never have that they use their institutional power to blacklist me and undermine my game.
They love AI and despise skilled professionals for the same reason. The idea that there are people out there that have learned to drawn, or code, or write at a level that they can never reach is infuriating to them, so they need a way to get back at them and to "even the scales" so to speak. They want revenge, and are always looking for ways to achieve that despite their complete incompetence and lack of drive.

It's the mother of all crab buckets, and you don't get to throw stones when you are just another crab in a glass house. 99% of the developers here are complicity. You're losers taking it out on the world. I just came here to create stuff, and I never even suspected this place could be so corrupt and rotten and cynical and metaphysically evil

I experimented with that a few years ago. Basically i made the ai portrait myself and to maintain the style of different expressions i edited it myself in Photoshop, just used liquiefy and painted over to get different expressions. +Faceapp for the toothy smile. I think honestly I could use the same process but without an ai generated picture but rather one i paint myself and it would be the same and no one could complain about it

But why, why use AI for only 16 sprites? Seems like the kind of thing you avoid completely or go ham on.
You have to understand to people who dont like ai art, you are basically asking them to be okay with drinking a glass of water that is "only" 1% vomit. Its still completely ruined at that point

You're right, but let's be the change we want to see in agdg :)
I have been trying to actually make the place better however I can but I don't know what it takes.
I want to give everyone equal treatment but idk. I think one person isn't enough, we all need to change ourselves to better ourselves and our games aswell.
I like that you point out the elephant in the room, but only complaining isn't gonna do anything. Again we gotta be the change we want to see.

>Chinese factories and celebrity jets make more co2 emmissions in a single month than you, yes YOU, could ever make in several dozen lifetimes
All the stuff you eat and wear and use also caused CO2 emissions. So you don't fly a private jet but you eat a pound of meat a day. You're no better.

Today I learned that godot doesn't extract textures automatically from a GLTF file and compress them if you don't have your import settings configured. This texture was 12MB while embedded in the GLTF file. Also it doesn't generate mimaps which was causing this nauseating shimmering for things at a distance.

>>532017147
Not really. There's so so much left. Soooo much.

>>532017202
Nobody here does that instead of me
It's not obvious to anyone, because everyone carries around their huge biases and they do gamedev as a social activity, not as a creative activity or as any kind of attempt to contribute to the medium

>>532017091
yes exactly, that was my plan

>>532017147
And yet, I have multiple game ideas kicking around in my head that I would love to play, but dont currently exist. Shame I am too lazy and retarded to ever make them properly. I can only hope someone steals my games idea and makes it well after I make a shit version of it

>>532018680
it's fine, AI code is scraped from places that gave code freely with the acceptance it would be copy pasted into peoples work. unlike art, copy pasting someones work was always frowned on.

>>532018875
that's fine but you're wrong to do so

How will i get my dopamine from getting attention

>>532009878
you better have that grab automatic, Mario does it, AssCreed does it, Prince of Persia does it

>>532018510
No, if your progress is not getting attention then it's indicative of how interested the public will be in the visuals of your game.

Haved learned a bit more about material expressions, decided to take a break from combat animation tuning to re-do some older town building materials. Left is old, middle is new, and right is new with 'age / damage'. I'm a little concerned it will make that quarter of town to brown, but I think it matches better and the paint pops should help.

>>532018880
ask questions like "A or B?"

>>532019094
I could make it automatic pretty easily, maybe that's better

>>532019216
A

>>532017147
That's not really an issue that original ideas don't exist.

It's an issue of gamers and milenials only growing up consuming slop.

I get quality original ideas because I get my inspiration from things outside games, anime and comics.

By example I want to make a water jousting fighting game set in venice between 17 century pirates and neo granadians, meanwhile vanuatu water musicians make the OST.

You could literally pick any empire that isn't explored from history, like the hitites, the zulus, the manchurians, the maoris, the bizantines, the ottomans, the olmecs, the moches.

And have literally an entire newer IP with dozens of games about such empire, and it will be 100% original.

But that requires research and reading books.
Which 99% of milenials wont do.

>>532019147
Here it is in situ.

>>532019216
Definitely A

>>532018735
Elma is my inspiration, yes.

>>532019102
all my progress will have mr beast face in the corner from now

>>532019319
>You could literally pick any empire that isn't explored from history, like the hitites, the zulus, the manchurians, the maoris, the bizantines, the ottomans, the olmecs, the moches.

STOP giving people ideas about borrowing from cool past cultures. That's what I'M doing.

Also don't forget Angkor/Khmer/Cambodia, Assyrian/Babylonian, and Persian. Bronze age is GOAT.

OK hear me out – actual Raid Leader Simulator.
People love spreadsheet simulators after all. You gotta look into how "Race to World First" (RWF) events are run in WoW. It’s all spreadsheets. A guild has a bunch of players on the roster, and the raid leader tries to figure out the best strategy for gearing them all up quickly to eventually defeat the new endboss before everybody else. Guilds even take on debt (in in-game gold) to pay helpers to raid with them, so they can spread their main players over more different raids to get more gear for them. (You can’t really trade gear.) It’s a very intricate topic with many interesting aspects. You could even have a "rogue lite" mode where the stream of raid tiers never ends, and you lose the run as soon as you fail to complete one tier before the next comes out.
This is such an awesome idea. I’m gonna make this if y’all ain’t gonna steal it.

AI barely uses any power. Don’t be stupid and just repeat what you’ve heard. If anything wastes power it’s video games. This power usage argument is just priming us to accept power-usage based restriction of computers like the laws in China on maximum video game hours.

It's time to give up, this is your sign

>>532021426
AI art uses a ton of water

>>532020660
I've really only ever seen generic 'kung-fu' movies when it comes to Korean stuff.
I suppose the format of the game would come down to what kind of stories it gets framed as.
We all know J-action and JRPG tropes. China has the wuxia and cultivation epics. What does Korea do? I would imagine the zeitgeist only really knows about K-Pop and stuff.
Personally, a Dynasty Warriors type game with in-depth character building based of Korean character tropes with a dash of Korean folklore and palace drama would make me happy. Nioh 5: Korean now?

>>532021426
AI has already cause irreparable harm to the environment not to mention the social economic conditions it made worse. Any day now the carbon cycle can tip over the edge and our species go extinct but you selfish chuds just need to refuse to hire artists

Same for games with shaders. If you’re too cheap to take a photo of sand or fire, and you recreate it with a computer instead, you’re NGMI. Video games should only be made with things composed by real humans for money in the real world. Anything else is unethical.

>>532021717
I reply to bait.
Somehow its not a problem when everyone sits on their devices all day and consooms, but it becomes a problem when you try to do something useful. There is a 1% chance you are serious and not trolling/a shill, if you are serious kill yourself immediately.

>>532021572
In the modern day Korea has all the hunter-nim manwa stuff like Solo Leveling in case you're not aware: modern day world getting invaded by monsters, portals to other worlds(dungeons) showing up and humans getting super powers but from a historical drama perspective there's a lot of fantasy sword fighting like dudes flying through the skies and clashing with their swords though I'm not sure how much that differs from Chinese stuff as I'm not familiar with their stuff

Dynasty Warriors could work but at the same time it sets a high bar to compete with actual Dynasty Warriors, same thing with Nioh

Some sort of royal inspector detective game could be cool and would give a lot of opportunity to fill the game world with Korean culture and drama tropes

>>532021528
No it doesn’t. Water can’t even be consumed do some research on The Water Cycle. All the water used for cooling computers goes back into the system eventually. It’s not like a fossil fuel.

AI barely does anything to the environment. If you actually feel this way you should stop using a car and stop playing video games. Games waste tons of electricity for no good reason. Using AI effectively actually helps the environment because you can do tasks while expending fewer calories.

The real reason you shouldn’t use AI is because it produces low quality work that customers don’t like.

>>532022461
i see you didn't see the above meltdown about AI further up
I get AI making some people unemployed as artists but this idea that someone who doesn't intend to hire anyone using AI instead of spending long hours learning to do art when the tool can help them is just retarded

My coordinates wrap around at 65k even though I use 32-bit variables.

Should all areas be scaled up in first-person games? This room is 4x3 meters, which is also size of average US bedroom, with queen size bed and yet it feels incredibly cramped. Or is my camera just fucked up?

"have you asked grok/gpt to do it for you?" is the immediate response to any query, as if i don't have any desire to learn skills like a normal person. aigen assets and code seem to run their lives as they spew out relentless, uninspired, artless shit. it's just a giant storm of shit blocking out the sun, forever.

gatekeeping is the only thing that keeps communities good and if it's being properly gatekept then you probably don't know about it

Art I commissioned for the game is done at the moment, so I made an edit for this place.

I have to do the final implementations before I can do the "freeware" plan, where I plan on making a bunch of DVDs to put into certain places for physical freeware with the demo. A bunch of things to do beforehand, but it is progressing well.

I have so many assets at this point that it takes more time to comb through to find decent models/textures then it would to create them from scratch
What a time to be a dev

>>532032189
The inner circle is a group of developers from the threads and the discord who have formed something like a union as a way to control the hierarchy of the community. They are the most oversocialized and active posters who view gamedev as a social activity where a game only has value insofar as a dev is likeable and participates in local culture, and a game's overall quality is completely ignored.
They are a cancer because they turned this place into a self-cannibalizing self-fellating feminized popularity contest instead of a place where people post the games they are working on. Posters are encouraged to act like clowns, while posters who make consistent and visible progress are ignored because they don't act friendly enough or some other made up bullshit

I'm going to make a game where you can build bonds with NPCs and go do quests with them, but they live their own lives as well. And once the player picks one of the girls to regularly go on quests on, they will start to say risqué things to the player until they start dating properly, only once all that is happening, I will add a cannon event where the player, while exploring the main city, open a door to a pub to see the players GF cheat on them with an ugly NPC.

Quite impressive, but the thing is that without a good theme behind it no one would have played all this effort. Drug dealing and fucking with society just happens to be extremely popular with the youth.

I hate games with themes like this, but this is what sells.

Pong, but you date the other paddle.

>>532039685
It decays society and it's more insidious than usual because it specifically targets young and impressionable people attracted to memes and short form content

>>532039618
Literally how? Explain to me what make the game so complicated?

If I'd make something like thins you'd crucify me for shitty modelling.

MechJam VI is this Thursday

>>532032189
It's one of our general culture memes.
Basically the place got really rampant with uncontrolled shitposting in the last few years. Nothing of value was being discussed, more and more doomsaying about AI, and not talking about anything productive. So some people decided to just make a discord and post there.

When demo days roll around, we got like 70+ submissions and a single weekend, no way to play them all, and frankly, not thanks for doing so either. What can a guy do? He tries the demo of the guy whom he talked with and shared progress with for the last two months, because he is interested in how it goes. Some of the more talented ones even make fanart for kicks.

We humor the idea it because we got this schizo guy, who writes ludokino prose about it like they were the Indie Illuminati, deciding who succeeds and who doesn't. Talking about how having acquaintances is being a "Nepobaby" and not having someone reply to your progress to kill yourself, is somehow hugboxing.

>>532040083
No, the soul is in textures.

>>532040196
>typing all that shit up instead of just admitting to the very obvious truth that already destroyed the general

>>532040009
I mean it could be better but you're talking about a game made 20 years ago

>>532040196
They don't decide who succeeds you flaming faggot. It's literally the exact opposite. They hugbox each others' games while refusing to acknoledge the hard work of the best games in the community. Their games are the ones who flop and bomb all the time. Just fucking look at the games in the inner circle for fuck's sake
>Marmoreal

It's all so fucking fake and you act like it's all fine because you have no backbone and no integrity. Was it worth it you flaming homofaggot? Was it worth selling out just to feel like you're part of something for once? Loser

>>532019427
You should punch up the greens in the new version. Simply because it will look nice. I'm not saying remove the new details. And I'm not saying change what isn't green into green. I'm just saying that you have remaining portions in the new version that are green. And for those portions, increasing the intensity of the green will create a nice blend of color.

>>532040767
Cracks me up every time.

>>532039894
>Explain to me what make the game so complicated?

Entire town system, NPCs follow their own schedule and move around, you interact with them in any number of ways while they are going about, their schedule is tied into the quest system. It's literally GTA + skyrim + crafting survival on a limited scale. And then you have co-op play on top. You have to be really good at programming to make something this complicated work properly.

Why do people see it as unmasculine to make games with pretty girls in it? I thought liking girls was manly?

aggy how am I supposed to do sounds in my game? do I really have to assign a sound file to a sound event one by one? I'd rather eat glass man I'm too ADHD for this.

>>532040196
>>532040767
And of course, how could we forget the king of scams and disappointment TOWER OF KALEMONGO who literally just stole money from his publisher to make Diablo (ONE) but worse and try to sell that as a full game in 2025
17K wishlists, a thousand followers, a publisher, multiple project collaborators, the full support of the entire discord, and he still sharted and flopped. Where are your gods now?

>>532039809
Because there's totally some high tier content that should be fed to them instead right?

Any idea on how to obtain a floor like this in unity? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MvdLW6btFM

I was thinking of creating a mirror using a second camera and make it follow the player below to create the reflection, but it sounds retarded

>>532041121
You could probably build an audio controller device/script to do some of the work for you but yeah sounds are a lot of effort

>>532023107
>Should all areas be scaled up in first-person games
Generally, yes. It's very rare for games to use 1:1 scale on indoor environments because the game's FOV is going to be so limited compared to reality, and movement so much faster compared to reality, that it's going to feel "wrong" even though it's right. VR is one of the few places where accurately scaled things can actually make a lot of sense, since VR mimics your real life perspective far closer than normal game can.

TL;DR unless it's important that your game feels claustrophobic and tight, you probably shouldn't be modeling indoor spaces at a 1:1 scale.

>>532041659

I prefer an autistic and savage critique of my game now than crashing with the reality later because "that's not nice".
I'm not a faggot who can't handle that I'm doing mistakes.
>>532034704
>and a game's overall quality is completely ignored.
The "feedback" that they do in DD is complete trash, is so obvious that they comment just to say something. There are others who actually take their time to write REALLY good feedback, and you as a watcher can even learn something.
>>532039158
>I say "wtf", and then got kicked from the server.
That's what close minded losers do:

Look back at the last 3 threads, and see what good this brutal "unfiltered feedback" is. Progress posts are ignored, or are utterly worthless.

>>532043181
That's how brutal it is. You have to catch our attention. It's a doggy dog world out here.

>>532043181
you get unfiltered feedback on dd moron

holy shit Unity's HDRP is heavy on my old ass computer. What are even the benefits of using HDRP?

>>532041223
Add a reflection probe into your level and bake.
Then make your floor material smooth. I'm doing this in URP, so the results aren't great, you can probably do more with HDRP

>>532043181
when the discord gives you feedback they are always being fags about it, no matter if it's positive or negative

>>532043464
Fucking love you anon, full homo

>>532043442
You get to look like the hyper realistic projects Unity is always trying to sell.

>>532043442
>What are even the benefits of using HDRP?
The aren't any in practice. HDRP is a meme and a noob trap.

>>532044016
I've noticed that, lighting looks a bit better but is it really worth the editor performance?

>>532043442
More "accurate" lighting. Just remember that just because something is more "realistic", doesn't always make it better.

You can see in this example that there are time when URP actual kind of looks nicer.

>>532041659
>made anon seethe for over a year
He won

>>532044414
No. URP has gotten a lot better looking over time and HDRP has been mostly abandoned by Unity, used by teams that have all been fired in recent years (e.g. the WETA Digital) If they follow through with their future plans (though there's a high chance they've fired everybody who cared about said future plans), HDRP is going to be officially deprecated and merged into a URP based renderer.

>>532044432
Damn that video is comfy
Is there a genre of leisure simulators I can look up, where you can just explore nice looking places? I haven't graphics-fagged in a while

>>532044414
>>532044701
If you really care THAT much about really fancy and physically correct lighting, use Unreal instead. Unreal is designed from the ground up for that kind of thing, whereas Unity's attempt to compete with Unreal with HDRP has been a disaster.

>>532044701
That's it I'm swtiching to URP

>>532044665
>heh, I've been shitting in your front yard for a year and you're still mad? Rent free much?

>>532044432
I dunno. The skylight is very clearly leaking through on the URP and so I'm inclined to go with the HDRP here.

>>532044985
>>heh, I've been shitting in your front yard for a year and you're still mad? Rent free much?

>>532044815
Think the company that posted that video has a bunch of VR demos.

There was a big push for using VR with HDRP and environments made in Unity for architectural projects a few years back.

As another anon said, I'm pretty sure that's all moved over to Unreal now.

>>532046031
>cites gamalytic as gospel
we have no direct info on the sales or how much his publisher paid him. The game was 6 years in development, he's still working on it (probably forced by the publisher) and he probably receieved a much bigger upfront payment considering he had the money and freedom to work for 6 years. You lost, just admit it

>>532046115
>play games
>talk with agdg
>dream

If the inner circle isn't real why is every single person on the discord too afraid to directly question the narrative of tower of kalemonvo's sales and earnings and publisher deal? Show me one person who ever pointed out how sussy the whole thing is

>>532046296
You can see the amount of owners of the game on any tracker site, they all say between 9.5k and 10.5k purchases. He himself said he only got like $20.000 to work on it since he lives in a shithole and that was enough to last him years.

I don't know why you're seething about a dev who released their game 4 months ago.

Did some polishing

>>532040767
>Alchemical
I'm pretty sure that game doesn't exist anymore.

>>532046115
Happens now and then.

Best way I find to come up with stuff though... Is basically just to steal shit. Go look at concept art or game trailers people have made, especially if the game either never got made or you've never played it. Don't look up what it's supposed to be about, just start writing down what you think it's about based on the small amount of information you have.

Often, you'll come up with something completely different to what the game actually is.

>>532046637
because they're racist

>>532014246
>The inner circle are mediocre crabs aware of their mediocrity and are driven from jealousy rather than self improvement.

it's funny because I've been asking for proof that the cord is doing better and guess what, no responses.
>no way to play them all
No shit Sherlock. Just play those that you like, or those where you could help, maybe? There are 70+ submissions, but also we have like 90+ who joined. I've seen devs that don't upload anything giving WAY BETTER feedback than the inner circus that must comment whatever trash they can think of in every game that they see.

>>532046637
how does the site track owner?

>>532047563
That's why we have Hugbox Days every two months, where instead of trying to get real people to play your game you share it with your fellow gamedevs who have way lower standards

>>532048043
I don't get the hype behind king in yellow.

>>532047563
They might, they might not.
You're unlikely to get any attention on your first game, or your second game, or your third...

You just gotta keep going, keep improving until eventually, something lands with people. Try making small games for Jams when you're starting out. People will generally play games made for jams, and you'll get some feedback on what you need to work on for next time.

can you limit the grading of the light? It's kinda clashing how low pixel and limited color palette are just to be joined with smooth 32-bit shadows from shader. Limit the shader color depth, dither it and add warm colors closer to the light and colder color further away.

>>532049227
I've been telling idiots like this one here >>532048706 that there's a reason for everything and that if you don't see the patterns and the rules then you should either try to learn or your place isn't here.

Well, rather than doing anything actually productive this weekend, I've been fucking around with the rendering and lighting.

Still looks shitty cause it's basically a blockout with some textures slapped on. But I think I could work with this, if I added some clutter it might actually look okay.
Most PSX models I see online though are kind of shit, so I think I'll make my own.

Some newfags and discord fanatics maybe don't understand why we hate the kalemnigger
It's not because his game is that horrible. It's amateurish, but decent enough. I has some potential for niche appeal even though it's unoptimized

The real reason is because the faggot thinks he's better than other people and acts like he knows everything. he has no humility and no decision making skills. I don't think he even likes games, he's just some aging diablo cultist all the way from the 90s. A cult of personality starting around that joke of a human is just the cherry on top.
/agdg/ became cancer the second that devs started acting high and mighty just because they formed smaller friend groups with other devs. That's completely real, and it's what the inner circle is. Those people turned /agdg/ into their social club where they let their social interactions become more important than the making of games, and that's why that affects everyone else. If you don't understand any of that then you're either dumb as a rock or willfully blind

>>532051019
What's your global lighting model like? Are you using any kind of ambient occlusion, or is this just straight directional lighting with shadow maps? I think it looks pretty good for what it is personally. Do you have collision detection? If so, what are you using for it. Bullet/physx/react, or did you write your own?

very nice, it's almost there. I'd recommend increasing the contrast (just play around with the values until it looks comfy) and have clearer steps between brighter/darker areas. Your gradient is too smooth, I think by modifying it by hand and doing bigger and darker circles with clear tone differences (between 8 to 16 per step) you should be in perfect spot.

wow this person really values their work I will definitely give them money

jobbydev is a series of different more brutal humiliation rituals, then you flop

The discord secretly wants me to fail but they never say it to my face. I'm tired of this mistreatment. I need to succeed just to spite them They look at my game and laugh, but I'm better than all of them

Lemmings, but you have a factory of anime girls doing stupid shit and you have to ensure everything is OSHA safe or it gets shut down.

something like this. I think you could make the center with warmer colours and those further away with shades of blue, also dithering it at the edges should add nice retro feel.

The Kalemnigger never offered me any sympathy, understanding, or charity, so I'm not giving any in return. It's a doggy dog world, bitch.

How did you make the world so good?

>>532056080
I saw it at work and captured it in my minds eye

>>532054414
I can get 87 positive reviews with no marketing? Big if true.

You? Thinks of a side project and then dumps his main project.
Me? Thinks of a side project, and develops it inside of my head when working on my main project, so it'll be practically done (ideas are the longest part) when that's done.

I'm a delivery driver in the midwestern countryside
There's a very cute lady who lives at the house on the other side of the road. She wasn't wearing a bra. Her house's address doesn't work with GPS, she ordered very tall expensive shoes

>>532055485
that turning around is driving me crazy just by seeing it

>>532056272
That's actually pretty smart
>>532056620
I know I tried to make it better but it didn't work

>>532054689

>>532055996
Yeah I don't have much time at home. I'm in a lot of debt and I'd like to become an engineer.

>>532055658

>>532056272
I’ve already developed, tested, marketed, and released 5 games in my head, all to critical acclaim. I’m working on mentally developing my 6th. Currently for a q1 2026 release date.

The inner circle are literally persecuting me for a single joke I made over a year ago

>>532057943
I don't know what that is but probably not

>>532057943
>>532058025
What are you talking about?

>>532058025
I'll never forget that joke

>>532057943

>>532058025
Should've thought twice about that joke
