Any advice or reading material I can check about making a scoring system? I mean the math behind it.

look at this face
this guy was destined to be a pedo

it's crazy how much in games is hidden from the player and the illusion would break if they saw it from another perspective. stuff like water being fake, gravity being "made up", etc

>>532065935
those inflating numbers aren't arbitrary though

>>532067626
It's just theater anon, they've been doing this for thousands of years
Games are unique because of what you can input.
Imagine a 1400's theater where they allowed you to send messages to one of the performers which would alter the course of the play
That's video games
Also its cool to me how you can adjust your literal perspective to seek things out

I did some good work today and I hope you guys can say the same.

What colours can a sky and sun be on alien worlds and still be considered beautiful and not just grotesque?
I feel like slightly purple sky and magenta sun is as far as you can go. Possibly you could do slightly red/yellow/orange sky if its only very faint and mostly pale but anything else would just be too weird and uninviting to feel right.

I'm leaning toward light purple sky and magenta sun for my alien game anyway

>>532069181
the unholy combination of orthographic world tiles with side actor sprites is both time effective and makes characters stand out, at least in my opinion

>>532069610
If it were me thoughie I would have gone for the classic Hippie/TG look, or something like Eris, rather than Skyshat codebase giganigger sprites

>>532068103
I implemented saving and loading in my level editor so now I can make levels. But then I thought about adding interactable objects and now I need to unify/reimplement the proof of concept I had for that in my hand-crafted test level because the new thing contains a bunch of data needed for construction but not runtime, and now it kinda needs both.

If I ever make it people will decompile my code and call me a retard for how I'm doing this, but I'll have made it so who cares?

>>532068365
Make the bubbles yellow and it'll look like beer instead of soap

>>532069565
The only grotesque color is yellow like on Venus. Every other color is fine. If you want some reference material, look up all planets in No Man's Sky. You'll get a wide range of colors.

Install virtualbox and run a virtual machine with a Linux distro. Or maybe Windows subsystem for Linux can do it, I've never tried. For Mac just don't bother.

>>532068514
Reading this post and reading the original post really changes your perspective. After all, how does a dev decide if destroying alien 1 gives 50 points and destroying alien 2 gives 100 points?

>>532071479
It's technically limited in resolution by a lot and this is most obvious in telescopes. The bigger issue with mirrors is that it flips forward and backwards.

>>532071237

>What the fuck are you still doing posting on aggydaggy?

>>532070392
That's already settled science, it's called worldbuilding.

BTW how do I incorporate a faction of nodevs in my setting? The problem is they do nothing, are completely passive and there's no real avenue for them to become a threat to the world or the player. Basically the only way I can conceive of them is being below vending machines in terms of importance, but I want the player to hate them and mow them down on sight.

>>532071907
Well read the docs and it'll tell you probably

>>532071907
The way it works in Godot is that they crosscompile the C++ engine for you on every platform (Godot uses SCons), and then GDScript user code runs as bytecode on a virtual machine. If you also need to compile C++ modules or GDExtensions, then you will also need to use SCons to cross-compile those to every platform you want to support.

>>532071348
Starbound is terraria but with only the grinding and building and none of the cool bosses and crazy weapons/builds

>>532072528
Nodevs do not do nothing, they're actors. Agents of chaos and they crab anyone potentially more successful than them. If they can't succeed, no one else can. They'll learn the trade just enough to fool even a seasoned dev who doesn't have his head on straight.

>>532057047
this post made me feel funny and with an urgent need to post my game here if you know what I mean

MY FUARKING HEROES

>>532073052
It's kind of crazy how every time I post progress there's a nodev that gives me some really terrible advice in an attempt to ruin my game or get me to waste time doing stupid bullshit. I feel bad for the beginners who can't separate retarded critique from actual good critique because they just don't have the knowledge and get tricked. Truly nodevs are the scum of the earth

>>532072920
IMO the number one problem with Starbound that Terraria got so right is the permanence you feel with your base-building. In Terraria, you really feel like you're building up to something. That sky bridge you built in early game to search for a Starfury is used to fight end-game bosses even after you get wings, and that feels really good because you built that yourself. Meanwhile, in Starbound, every planet is transient.

>>532068514
Thank you, this turned out to be inspirational actually from what I have found out so far. I am still looking for directly more formula related stuff though. I have a basketball like game and I want to give extra points for successful shot streak. I realized it should be baseScore + streakMultiplier^streakCount making each shot more valuable than the one before. Another thing I realized is adding more points to the baseScore based on some other parameters AND THEN multiplying for streak. I did make some charts to see how the cumulative score changes etc. I do have a secondary streak type that I want to track. I haven't figured it out how I can do it: Adding it separately as bonus or embedding it to the streakMultiplier by increasing it. Maybe I just have to keep doing my own scenario tests and see how the graphs differ.

He can be pro whatever, but that doesn't mean both of you didn't get hard filtered.

Now I understand why games take years to make, gamedev is not for the weak.

These are the pains of learning but now I believe very in-depth planning is the key to make development proceed smoothly. Ideally you should have the whole game planned out start to finish.

>>532078603
Research is 90% of game dev, implementing it is only 1%

>>532078603
Ideally, but you are not capable of that. You still do not understand precisely what it takes to build a video game. You have some vague idea of what components form a video game, and you can only "plan" to build a vague non-functional imitation of one.

doesn't matter how well you have the game planned if you can't execute it
execution is the 90%

The talk is literally "You can't grift your way to successful game, so stop asking me for tricks. The only way you succeed is by making a game that gamers want to play. Here's what gamers want to play."

Yes, it leads successful games to look and play similarly, but that's not the gamedevs' fault. That's the gamers' fault for wanting to play more of the same kind of games. Gamers do not want to play your originalslop.

Anyone who believes in this slavix grifter is low IQ, he uses raw data from steamdb without accounting for publisher and size. Genre doesn't matter as much as you think because the "good" genres are offset by marketing money and production values.
There isn't much difference between a roguelike release and a beatemup release for a solodev, only 400 games are promoted by steam each year and most of those are publisher games.

None of what you wrote is truth, bing bing wahoo platformers that aren't tendie always do extremely bad. Mobile games outside of gacha or established IPs are pretty much a dying breed.
Shmups have never sold well, Ikaruga despite always being in "it's my le favorite shooty tooty" lists never sold past 1 million copies.

>Ikaruga has sold approximately 33,860 physical units in Japan for the Dreamcast and GameCube versions, while the Xbox Live Arcade version sold about 137,088 digital units on the Xbox 360, and the PC version sold around 128,543 digital units on Steam as of 2018.

>>532083128
VR games are hard to sell because of steam's dogshit algorithm. PCVR is literally too niche to make VR games stay on the front page for long if at all.
You -have- to sell for the quest even though there is a sizable number of PCVR users - you can't reach them. It fucking sucks because the quest hardware is so bad which means we'll never get super high fidelity VR games like Alyx because of Valve's retardation. FFS they were so invested in VR as the future of gaming but their algorithm is killing PCVR.

If you're doing solo indie dev because you don't have to skills to get hired at a AAA studio, then you're NGMI. The only reason you should be indie is because you think your work output is so valuable that a AAA studio couldn't possibly pay you enough for it to be worth it for you.

Bro, planes are falling out of the sky and corporations are still not dropping cheap Pajeet labor.
I'm convinced that the ruling class knows that everything is falling down a cliff but instead of trying to fix anything they are trying to escape with anything that's not bolted to the floor.
Media is not any different.
This is why every IP is getting milked with progressively worse sequels, remakes and reboots. They don't care about long term gains, they just want to drain every cent of value off of it before it's too late.
>>532087382
In order to get one those jobs you need to be a beneficiary of nepotism.
That's why the higher ups who worked on Concord and the latest Dragon Age are all employed at new AAA projects now despite losing hundreds of millions of dollars.

texture resolution/scale. most notable on the vents, and the titling on the bricks. nta

>>532088000
I think 2, although the difference between them is not that significant.

>>532088000
I would say definitely not 1 unless you update the texel density for enemies as well. 2 looks the most cohesive right now, but 3 could look just as good with some tweaks like lowering the texel density of the candle things.

>>532094076
I've just been coding my game so I haven't made any art in a long time. these random character design practices was probably one of the latest things i did

Before Gaben invented Steam the only way to distribute video games was to print out the source code onto sheets of paper which the user would then have to manually type into their computer and run.

>>532094670
Zoomie those two periods in time are far apart. We had CDs in the middle.

>>532094076

>>532093684
What do you want to know about them? Are you working with Godot like I am?
They're just nice because they can have their own methods, properties, and signals that are all recognized by the editor, and by referencing them, the engine enforces a standard that makes everything more reliable and more readable.
As opposed to dictionaries where you better just be certain you formatted it right and are referencing the right keys when you manually type them out every time.

>>532094670
I'll just say it, when you buy software they should be required to send you the entire source code physically printed onto paper

>>532094670
That's how I typed some games into my ZX Spectrum when I was 7 years old. Of course I also had the audio cassette but that wasn't fun at all.

It's that easy, Jesus christ.

>>532094870
What can they be used for and how are they used? Anywhere I can get a primer on what they are?

How would you implement a skill tree as the upgrade path for mid-run progression in a Vampire Survivors like? I don't mean the technical side of it but the player facing side. What sort of skill tree would make sense in the context of a horde survival game?

I was thinking it would be cool to have a skill tree or grid of some sorts that sets each character apart. Hoping it would give it a bit more of an RPG feel.

>>532088543
Any suggestions on how to wackify it? I was thinking about trying to steal some inspiration from the neverhood or something.

>>532094076
Not as impressive when you know it's all copied from magazine illustrations.

>>532095383
What a strange question if you've ever played Vampire Survivors. It's literally picking cards. Yes, the skill tree is what you pick. It locks you out of other items and upgrades.

>>532094870
>own methods, properties, and signals
Huh? You can do that in resources? Since when?

Since always... Resources are the foundation of Godot.
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/scripting/resources.html#creating-your-own-resources

here's how you get god tier character designs (faces not clothes and all that). take a photograph of some person online and make them look fucked up with the liquify tool in Photoshop like this. Then set their opacity low and draw a cartoon based on their proportions on top of them. EZ PZ iconic unique characters, literally works every single time for cartoons.

>>532088000
3 is easily the best.

I wonder if I should focus on learning how to model and animate humans or do monsters as well.
with the ultimate goal 5+ years in the future to do a Deep Down like..
Obviously, the two would be needed. but the difficulty modifier is higher and usefullness(such as being an artslut) is lower for monsters. Even in souls almost everything is bipedal and quadpedals are mostly animated like shit. horror games? bipedals, maybe except dogs. So the best use of my time would be humans.
monster hunter teams are able to do it because people are paid for years to study references, experiment and build up knowledge, they aren't taught about animating dragons at school. A simpler way to say this is "Niche Knowledge".

I just can't take indie games seriously. Just knowing that it's indie gives it a shallow feeling, like reading fan fiction or looking at some retard's deviant art.

Many indie games have this feeling that they are not finished or "professional" or something, but not all of them. Some of them feel like real games.

sometimes when i found an issue that i can't solve my brain goes into a loop and i stop devvin for months. even using chatgpt wont fix this cause the decision part still comes from me and that's the one i'm having trouble on. what do?

more of a behavior thing that i'm stuck on, i'm rewriting my horde script and i feel like i'm not 100% clear on what to do so i get stuck. like for example i'm coding the flanking part, but my mind is looping on how to detect the available flank positions there are multiple ways to do this it's just that i'm quite indecisive with it. also all the other edgecases stuff like if some horde units stuck do we have to spawn a new nav lead for some parts of the horde, how do we handle multiple horde targets etc. like i know multiple ways to solve, i just don't know what to choose.

>>532099496
what if we picked for you and if you don't like it later you can go back and fix it

>>532099336
iḿ not but cuterisu sure is it

>>532099221
Hard to put it into words. Im aware of some details being off and cant get rid of the feeling and just play the game. It might not even be because the game is not "good". This rarely happens with games made by big studios, if I dont like them its usually because they are "bad" but not because they feel "off". Big studios probably spend quite a bit on these small details, whatever they are.
Sorry this probably isnt that helpful.

Are you asking how much water is used (indirectly) to process one AI prompt — for example, the hidden water use from data centers cooling computers when you send a prompt to me?

If so, here’s a clear estimate based on recent research:

Studies estimate that a single AI prompt to a large language model like ChatGPT or GPT-4 typically consumes about 0.5 to 5 liters of water — mostly due to the energy used by data centers and the water used for cooling them.

A small, short text prompt might be closer to 0.5–1 liter.

A long or complex prompt that takes more compute (e.g., big code or multi-turn conversations) might use a few liters more.

These numbers come from research papers such as “Making AI Less Thirsty” by Shaolei Ren (2023), which found that training these models consumes huge water volumes, but everyday usage still adds up too — for example, a conversation like this could use liters of water indirectly.

Key point:
The water is not directly wasted in your home — it’s used at power plants and data centers for cooling servers and producing the electricity they need.

If you’d like, I can show the math behind this or compare it to everyday water use (like making a cup of coffee, which uses ~140 liters if you include growing the beans!). Just say yes and I’ll break it down!

That's normal, and not easy to overcome. The best way is to implement, test, and prototype. You're probably afraid to "waste time" by implementing the wrong thing, but you're wasting far more time implementing nothing. Accept the fact that not everything you make will be good, and that you will have to throw away things, refactor, and redesign.

From my experience, a behavior tree and a few steering behaviors is more than enough for most action games, unless the area is really really cluttered. You do not need to use navigation waypoints.

It's the Kenyan Helicopter problem. Lots of gamedevs, both here and elsewhere, indie and AAA alike, don't understand the fundamentals of game design. Instead, they create fake shell imitations of what they think the components of a game are and roughly glue them together into something that resembles a video game. However, once you dive deeper, you'll see that these "games" really make no sense. You'll find extraneous components added on that don't fit in or critical components are missing because the devs are just gluing together an arbitrary list of components that they know exists in other video games without understanding why those components are there.

girls have only ever hurt me. first girl i was with left me for my best friend after he spread lies about me. because of that and other unlucky shit i was too afraid to approach anyone. every time I worked up the courage and did approach anyway i got my fears confirmed. girls are lazy disgusting whores who want men to do everything and put in no effort themselves. I'm too broken to believe that anyone can want me so I can't try unless they show me they want it and that's something no girl will ever do. The one girl that ever did approach me first before I approached her was when I was at the height of depression and I was so idiotic that I didn't even realize that a girl fucking getting my number and then inviting me out to walks and to museums and shit was interested in me and I let it slip through my fingers. God did that when I was at my lowest just to taunt me. This life is nothing but a torture chamber for God's amusement

>>532097982
It's more amateur vs professional than it is indie vs corporate. Most indies aren't professional about their games and it shows in ugly art, store-bought assets, bad mechanics, sketchy writing, etc... And I mean that on a fundamental level, corporations are guilty of all those but they're professionally and intentionally ugly and bad.

The amateurishness of 99.999999999% of indie devs just isn't a deal breaker if the game has some redeeming quality.

>>532081429
Goddamn. Tranime fags eternally btfo in the most comprehensive way possible. Fygoon won.

"artists" or as i like to call them "shartists" are the most deluded people on earth, just because you grinded the drawing slog doesnt magically make you a good game designer or even a good art director for that matter
artists are the most arrogant people, the most successful artists are the ones teaming up with a great ideaguy and a programmer or a few of them, thats how you make a really special game but sure go ahead and solodev just because you can draw, NGMI

So from my understanding, AI servers generate heat through their electricity, like typical PCs, and need to be cooled so they don’t overheat. What they do is pump cold water from deep in the sea and ocean through their servers and shit to cool it off, which warms up the water.
But it sounds like it’s just a cycle, since they pump the water back into the ocean, I imagine, it’s not like the water vanishes

Video games are software products that require extensive engineering. Your average video game is more complicated than other types of engineering projects. Video games have the luxury of not being particularly dangerous or life threatening when they fail, and so they can be more complicated without as much risk.

the problem with Earth isn't the energy/heat we create because energy can't be created, only transferred from one place to another.
the problem is the more shit (including CO2) in the atmosphere the less Earth radiates the Sun's heat and the hotter Earth gets.
So it's not so much cooling GPUs that's the problem but what gets pumped into the atmosphere to generate that electricity.

>>532102381

You'll be rounded up and put into camps next. And that's a good thing.

But really, I'm perfectly happy with this development. For too long retards come here saying they're making a game and it's just some fucking coom game. If it were a good game it wouldn't need porn as a crutch, and if it were good porn it wouldn't need to be packaged as a game. You're not one of us, you never were, the thing you're making is inherently exploitative, and every time you join one of our demodays you fuck up the rankings because the wider itch.io gooner audience comes looking for fresh coom material and artificially pushes your dogshit game to the top of the page.

I'm truly philosophically opposed to coomer games, there's no reason for them to exist. Search google, 50 billion images of boobs. Why do you need a game for that? Oh you want a game you can goon to and edge yourself for 4 hours? You're mentally ill and the developer of the game you're playing is exploiting your obviously dopamine-addled porn-rotted brain. The games needed to satisfy such a sick person must inevitably plumb the depths of depravity hoping to spark one more numbed neuron in the sick mind of the customer so we end up at what is basically sanitized child porn

Honestly watching the income prospects of coomdevs crumble into dust is up there with watching journalists get laid off. The fact that you reprobates were able to steal a living from such shitty morally and creatively bankrupt behavior is a glitch that is long overdue for a correction. But don't worry... you can just remove all the porn and sell your game as, yknow, a game.

I'm quite familiar with this paralysis and I think it might help if you think about it from the players perspective. Does the player even notice what you're worrying about? Does it make any difference for the player if you do A or B? If the player doesn't care then pick the easiest or fastest way to implement it and then move on to the next thing.

>>532103032
during cold winters I used to turn my PC around when gaming. the exhaust from the case would heat my hands.

what the fuck is a heating company?
>hello, yes, I would like to buy 1 heat please
>yes, lukewarm, straight from the datacenter

>>532103338
the company that runs the pipes from their heating plant to apartment blocks.
I don't know if you have those in the US but it's a thing in Eastern Europe and Russia.

>>532103032
My city is literally transporting garbage from other cities to burn, and that heat is used to heat the homes. I dont see how this would be a problem if it was considered in the planning phase. A datacenter isnt stinky like a factory, it could be close (and some are) to a city.
>lack of financial incentives
>regulatory hurdles
If these things are blockers then the problem isnt serious enough yet.

>>532103338
I was laughing out loud for a full minute at this, thanks anon

>>532103412
it's called gas, you burn it, it makes heat, it doesn't require running brand new hot water pipes across a city to deliver water 2 degrees above tap by the time it reaches you

>>532102618
Helicopters are complicated machines that take years of design and iteration to engineer a new line, especially from an engineering firm that does not have prior models to build off of. Mine's not ready yet, but at least I have the wherewithal to recognize that.

Around 100 coom games get banned from Steam alone EACH DAY.
About 700 coom games in the week around your release.
Eyes too big? Chest too flat? Underage character? BOOM you are done.
Also, not only are you unable to sell your game on Steam but you can't even get any money through Patreon or any other service dependent on global payment providers :)

Take all the "coomgame success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and realize that they never had to go up against Visa and Mastercard, what degenerates thought was easy money and a shortcut to 'making it' just went up in smoke

No money, no social kudos except from other degenerates online, your family would disown you if they found out what you were making, all to produce a game that your braindamaged audience will forget after they've masturbated. Even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" of making a successful coom game all you've actually done is make a bunch of men cum, and that's gay.

I don't even use AI to code, more like a teacher/mentor thing I talk to when I get stuck doing something and tossing ideas and questions. That's the best use of it for me.

Whenever I ask it to code it starts to spit out so much unnecessary code that takes me ages to debug and understand and how to implement, big waste of time. I'd rather just write it myself.

The hell would I know without that info? For my turn based game I have a decision tree with weights depending on conditions, its a huge if else but its structured well and it werks (TM). Anybody can do it this way.

>>532111259
Unity?

>>532109636
In my game (tactical grid based RPG) I could make AI that wouldn't make any mistakes. And I did test it in one fight and no one liked it. So I made it dumber.
But I heard some designer say is that the perception of "good AI" is far more important, and that there are tricks to do that without making AI too good for players to enjoy. One trick is for the AI to announce what they'll do before they do it, like
>Hit him with a grenade! (and then another NPC throws a grenade)
or things like that. Basically the dirty little secret of PvE is that gamedevs can make the enemies much "smarter" but players hate that so enemies must seem smart while giving players many opportunities to beat them.

There's a dev here who makes tons of games using this and sells them on steam.

https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/6851

godont still dont support static signals in a static class_name, you have to do tom foolery like this

>@tool
>extends Node
>class_name EMSaveDir
>static var singleton:EMSaveDir
>static func _init() -> void:
> singleton = EMSaveDir.new()
> ChangeSelectedFolder=singleton.singleton_instance_ChangeSelectedFolder
> ChangeSelectedFile=singleton.singleton_instance_ChangeSelectedFile
>static var ChangeSelectedFolder:Signal
>static var ChangeSelectedFile:Signal
>signal singleton_instance_ChangeSelectedFolder
>signal singleton_instance_ChangeSelectedFile

>>532113552
that's right you should give up

go do something that's worth your time

>forget how to do thing
>open previous project
>copy code
peak, simply peak. truly being a 1 genre dev and reusing everything has to be the best life.

It made enough for me to finally learn the system in a hands-on way.
No need for some paid unity tutorial or slogging through Indian accent videos.

>19 games
>not a single one has over 10 reviews
holy sloppa

>>532113773
literally me

>>532113804
How can a guy average 1 review per game on 10 games and keep going?

The ancient japanese were very efficient at spriting over anime cells.

Rapid firing projects is a valid tactic. You only need one success then you capitalize on it.

>>532113608
what the fazbear!?? i just made that shit up! dayumn, i must be a reddit sleep poster or some shit

>>532114156
it's not valid when you're making shovelware that's never going to succeed

using external editor; *dough opens code in internal editor when there is an error
s-q + y

>>532114134
Same. Like honestly what I've got right more mogs the fuck out of most indies in terms of what it's capable of.

>>532114229
dude he just needs a streamer to pick it up come on anonymous you're just being racist against his dreams and ambitions
>>532114384
so then won't that just become the new norm, the new minimum standard? or is ai some shit only 1 guy in the world can use a a time?

>>532114483
no streamer would pick up any of his games

>>532112094
Apparently it's recommended to start a new chat after a while otherwise it starts hallucinating and forgetting things.

>>532113804
