Kind of want to make a muscle wizard game now.

i dont believe in my ideas or myself

my wishlists grow slowly, but even 1 per day is one more compared to yesterday.

Summon Protein

>>532124397
You will never make a game

>>532124518
if your game is failing to pull wishlists then you should look at why that is

most likely your game has shit appeal

>>532124397
>muscle wizard
so a dude who goes to the gym

>>532124643
relax

Really happy with this workflow.

It's almost perfect.
The only issue is that it doesnt work to generate more than one sprite.

>>532124518
>2500 wishlists
you need momentum
if there aren't people getting excited about your game, consider changing something

>>532124714
it looks like shit as usual

>>532124695
Yes.

>>532124776
that's a muscle wizard wizard

>>532124695
Ackshually in a sword and sorcery world, there wouldn’t be gyms. The wizard is ripped because he’s a farmer. His muscles are practical unlike that of the knights who are about honor and image.

>>532124714
nice job cris

>>532124714
Damn that looks good. Dare I say you’re getting better.

Post your latest progress or else

>>532124449
I'm voting for mini AGDG game jams.

Are Medium.

>>532124397
I tried making a wizard game, got burned out on trying to get nice cloth physics to work. Maybe just making the wizards shirtless and buff would have resolved this bottleneck

>>532124973
ok. go ahead and set one up on itch

>>532125034
Is that the Extra Credits guy?

Are Medium

>>532124973
Game jams never made sense to me. If you're smart enough to make a game in 2 weeks, of course not polished, but still. Then just make a game. It seems more like masturbation to me. But have fun.

>>532124968
I'm saving it for a few days from now, I'm serious. It's not done yet but it should be soon. Although I am procrastinating and should get back to work.

>>532124973
You need a theme and a short deadline before DD.

>>532125293
Limitations of a game jam can force you to push yourself and become more creative. It can help you make a game you would have never thought of if you just did it quietly by yourself with infinite time ahead of you. It can also serve as a practical way of polishing your game development skills.

It's not for every type of person though. It wouldn't be a good fit for someone like Toby Fox, but it was a good fit for the devs of Pseudoregalia and Loop Hero.

>>532125379
imagine thinking humans have any purpose in creative work after seeing this masterpiece a machine came up with in a tenth of a second.

I vaguely remember someone posting this a while ago, a link to a (Team fortress 2?) article/tutorial thing that talked about keeping a consistent style in the art but I didn't save the link, that ring a bell for anyone?

>>532124732
It's over.

>>532125642
Yeah, but it’s not really true. Look at Overwatch which contrasts TF2.

>>532124732
we're reaching a point where anything under 20k wishlists is shovelware that shouldn't even be allowed to release

>>532125351
>>532125151
Some ideas for jams:
"one button game"
"1bit"
"X color theme"
"contains XYZ object"
"XYZ genre"

1-2 week time frame since there aren't that many people here.

Indians and gamemaker devs are trashing piratesoftware's code. It's over.

>>532124732
found your problem, it doesn't look fun and there's a million windows simulators out there so it's not a witty or unique gimmick

also I'm guessing it's just another idle/clicker shit where you make the numbers scale infinitely, the sloppiest of slop

>>532125756
What happened to muscle wizards? Come on 3 day muscle wizard jam starting this friday. Let's fuckin go. I won't participate lol

>>532125887
doesn't matter, the point is the game has more wishlists than your game.

>>532125887
>another idle/clicker shit where you make the numbers scale infinitely
The only way to make it with one of these is to get an eceleb like DF to play it.

my virtual sister maid gf is too cute

>>532125606
There is a game listed in the OP links as being made by agdg, which is called "GIMMIKO"
I remember I was doing the GMTK 2022 jam when I was competing against this game, I failed ofc but anyway the point is I wanted to say, game jams were the only times I was actually able to make anything significant in my life. These days I struggle so hard to work on my current project. When I did jams the sense of urgency was there, I felt like if I failed the jam my work would have been wasted if no one saw it. Game jams are good for getting you to do something period, it's not about "I'm so good I can make games in super short periods of time" rush and urgency can get anyone to do that

>>532126169

>>532125887
Okay now do this one. Same amount of reviews.

>>532126361
I would scroll past that without a second glance

>>532125624
It's only that cool because it has the entire background lore of LotR which was written by a human.

What type of game is going to be popular in 2-3 years?

You see all these one hit wonder FOTM games which capitalize on dragging up forgotten genres and combining them with friendslop and then the eventual wave of copycats afterwards that fail to reach success because don't understand that they missed the boat. Why don't we identify future trends instead of chasing current ones?

>>532126090
Can you ask her what she thinks about the game "Popolocrois Monogatari"?
Personally I think it's a masterpiece.

>>532126467
>What are lottery numbers for next week going to be?

>>532125887
how do you explain this?

>>532126361
shmups never sell on Steam

>>532126635
Nolgorb's Ordeal literally only has one level/area and the controllers are frustrating and not even in a fun way like QWOP was.

>>532126635
It was likely boycotted by the fans of Slam Dingo

>>532126861
Also for some reason Dingodev decided to release the game a few days early without telling fucking anybody and killed his own hype.

>>532126467
>Why don't we identify future trends instead of chasing current ones?
Those trends are set by games the players didn't even know they wanted until they got to play them.

>>532126439
look, chat jippity is trying his best with his training data

>>532127105
Slam Dingo sucks though

>>532124321 (OP)
Worked on reflections today, and went with the oldest trick in the book: just make a copy of the model, flip it, and make it do the same exact animations as the "real" one.

>13 year old game
>still getting 30k new purchases a week
>still releasing DLCs
that's the kind of game I want to make.

>>532127543
The last one was pretty good

I'm a stickler for getting details right, but man is this a lot to take in. I'm trying to get downtown San Francisco, particularly Market Street and maybe some nearby streets with smaller buildings. It's gonna be gorgeous if it comes out how I want.

>>532127813
Lewd...

>>532126635
Not good.

>>532127903
Then you're 13 years late

>>532127543
ok now ask it to describe gameplay.

>>532127945
Here's my WIP from yesterday. Obviously this ain't good enough and I was winging it. I'm gonna have to get out some graph paper to figure this out. Part of the issue is I'm torn on whether to have Market Street be the main focus because of all the signage and neon fun, or to have a seedier looking neighborhood with the smaller shops.

This is for G-Man, which I'm planning to be an arcade action game with point and click shooting. This is going to be a tough, tough project, but I'm ready for it.

>>532127467
>Those trends are set by games the players didn't even know they wanted until they got to play them.

Yeah but they don't come out of nothing, some one thought it would be a good idea 3 years ago and invested their time into making it real. One thing is for certain, clone games that try to emulate the success of one of these hits will never make it.

In the case of schedule 1 a GTA+breaking bad mashup was pretty obvious, but no one chased the idea because GTA was still big and relevant. There's this sweet spot I think where an old genre has just been forgotten and players need a break from it for a few years until it resurges, that's when you need to start your development so that you'll hit release just when people want it again.

Redpill: Most /agdg/ games suck because a lot of anons only consume video games and anime and never branch out. When you only know how to think about things in the context of other video games, you can only make an ouroboros of slop.

>>532127543
capeshit slop

>>532128356
True. It's like fantasy authors who only read other fantasy authors. The writing and tropes become inbred

>>532128356
That's true of society at large though, everyone is consuming and shitting out the same garbage through the echochamber of the curated internet.

>>532128203
it just wants gay shit like "muscle magic", ai can't comprehend a great wizard who just happens to be jacked af

>>532128209
your game's world is as seperate from your inspirations as you need it to be, so it still has to serve the gameplay narrative as opposted to the story narrative. anyways good luck

>>532128356
That's no excuse, derivative things can be good.

>>532127960
Good is subjective.

>have game dev skills but don't have video editing skills
>struggling to make my trailer, splicing videos together, fades to black, changing scenes appropriately, etc. literally have to google every step
>realize I can just use my gamedev skills to build the entire trailer as a scene in my game where I already know how to do stuff
>just script everything, run the scene, and record the whole thing as one uninterrupted video
I'm so smart my head hurts.

>>532128356
True but I don't think the people who are making this mistake can do anything about it. They are NPC's with no interests. They aren't going to just start consuming great works of literature to improve video games. They are slave minded to begin with. They don't even know the value of education. They think the value of education is a diploma and a job.

Starting working on the last set of contract of Galduen.

>>532129825
that's not AI and it's not soul

>>532126861
I never managed to reach that level/area because I was trying to resize the window to actually fit the screen, which itself is a platforming challenge

do rts games even need to be balanced? I mean, I don't have any numbers, but I'd bet 90% or more of warcraft and starcraft players only played the pve campaigns and never once played against another human

>>532129825
The definition of soul is something original and not copied to death, anything made by AI is fundamentally antithetical to that concept.

>>532130104
The people that don't need battlenet just pirate it

How do we stop niggerdev?

>>532128356
I’ve read many major works of literature, surely that means my game can make it..... you are giving me hope......

>>532130962
signs at the water fountains

>>532126361
I remember how cocky and full of cope this dev was about their release

I liked evangelion so much I read the entire bible. judges was my fav book.

>>532130104
Fun is way more important, but even so, a lack of balance can also ruin PvE.
Believe it or not, players (especially of strategy games) like to be challenged a little bit and if the solution always is "spam unit X" they will be a tad disappointed

>>532129041
"Subjective" doesn't mean "everybody has a different opinion" though. There is such a thing as a consensus, AKA when many people's subjective opinions are the same.
In this case everyone agreed the game sucks ass. Except you

Soooo... 8 reviews and 8 reviews?

I will not release in Early Access but I will probably keep adding content regardless.

>>532132907
Would advise against this, 99% chance that nothing happens, 1% chance that it's an IP that got bought up by EA in one of their bulk purchases and they harass you at some point down the line in the 0.000001% chance that your game becomes worth harassing

>>532131295

Progress on my poker-inspired side project.
Somehow I still end up with turn-based combat, not that I'm complaining, I love turn based.
My initial idea for determining turn order was rolling dice, but I don't want to animate dices rolling, so I made it just picking a card lol.
Not gonna lie, this idea is slowly growing on me.

You don't get to pick and choose what you are and what you're aren't gonna do when you have "zero experience" as you claim, anon.

Idea for a game.
You find out your ex got pregnant and for revenge, you stage an incident where she gets a miscarriage.
The game revolves around you planning traps and making it seem like an accident.
The main goals are.
>Make the miscarriage successful
>Make sure you don't get caught
>Make sure she lives so she gets to witness the loss of her baby
The game has 2 health bars, one for your ex and another for the baby.
Each level takes place in different locations and revolve around the creative ways you get your ex girlfriend to lose her baby and make it seem like an accident.

>>532135448

>>532136698
the only time in history that colors looked like that in a 3d game was in highly compressed fmv from the mid 90s

>>532136698
Is there a reason for your game to look this way? Does it connect in any way to the gameplay and story themes?

The graphics for a bonus menu mechanic is done, I'll make actual code for it tomorrow. But I like how it looks with the smaller animations I added.

Basically what it's going to be is an option in the main menu to get some advice/tips/tricks along with some flavor. The graphic(s) is going to be used for something much later for something else too with an option for one of the characters during the trial as an exclusive character mechanic.

kek thank you kind sir

>>532132812
I unironically came up with a game idea where the player is a god from the popular mythologies (Norse, Greek, you basically choose if you want to be War focused, Wisdom focused, etc.) and has to train a champion by deckbuilding a pack of cards with events (i.e. Hydra Encounter, Mountain Treasure, Medusa, Haunted Graveyard, etc.). The "hero" you train is basically played in roguelite style and when he dies, he gets sent to an arena and fights with other players heroes with similar ranking, and the winner gets points he can use to upgrade future runs.
My first name idea for the game? "Afterlife Gladiator". But then I remembered a cool name like that is unusable forever thanks to an aggydagger...

>>532133659
Unity. Split it into bite sized chunks.
Start by making a first person tile based movement system.
Then you can make a basic character and stat system.
Then make a combat system that uses those characters and stats.
Then you can combine it with the first person controller and add some random chance for a combat encounter when you take a step.
Congrats you have a blobber.

I like the roller derby/rollerblade mario kart wth sexy 80's chicks in leggings idea from a few threads ago and think it would be great with the gatcha formula. Would need great character designers and 3D modellers though.
Do you think aggies could collab on a gatcha? Are there enough talented character artists here? Revenue split would be based on how many characters designs you make (must be voted in unanimously by the other devs to ensure quality), with bonus shares for designs that get more fan art made of them.
Maybe there's light melee combat and each skater has a unique melee weapon like how the girls in Blue Archive have guns, so you have another distinctive thing to add to the character design.
Characters would have:

mostly a combination of translating my 2D anime fundamentals into something that works with the blender node shader logic.

It's 99% painting using masks, and then using a transparent shader and using the textures as alphas to layer more than one toon shader.

Someone jusr mentioned pointer alignment to me. I had never even heard that term before then.
When it comes to programming, I never understand when I'm missing some kind of critical information that will lead to my suffering and thats made me very unconfident in my abilities and thus has made me program less and it becomes a vicious cycle.
I don't know what to do besides stop being a coward and actually taking time to write code despite knowing it'l probably be bad and there are tons of abstract concepts that I don't understand

im very conflicted on the direction i want to take this game in

I have a pretty good idea for an oldschool JRPG that has almost no story but I worry that nobody will wanna play a game like that.

Seriously, how do you go about creating PS2 like graphics? Lets say I’m using Unity, whats the checklist?

Hi Amazingly Gay Dick Games Thread.
I am wondering. Do any of you anons have a release I can buy on Steam?

>>532143373
JRPG without a story is tough, since JRPG genre is heavily associated with visual novels. It is basically a visual novel with battle minigames in between.

Can I generate 2D sprites yet? I need to create 2D animated character

why can't my game just exist
imt so tired of working on it
so much work work work work
WHY can't there be just a single magic fucking button i can press where my game would suddenly materliaze before me fully completed and done!!! bitch!!!!

Anything is better than Unity.
Don’t put your hard work into a platform that is going to fuck you over for profit.
Unity is circling the drain. It’s not safe to use it unless you want to go to court or IP hell.
Wait for Unity to go bankrupt and get bought out before considering using it again.

I'll never understand why I see games that look worse than games from that era yet they're using an entire CPU core + tip, 12gb of memory, and 80% of my 3070...

hello agdgies, I have a question about grids.
currently I have two dimensional grid as base of game movement, I want to add height. Now, I don't want making moving up the whole height free or even always to be possible yet still give characters ability to move up in height.
I thought about two solutions, either add a "ramp" which is half a height or just make all characters occupy two positions in grid(so height two), in this case ramp blocks would occupy whole single grid position.
What do you think is most logical way to solve that?

>>532146376

I hope you submit to DD soon.

>>532147591
I'm referring to all the bedroom boys that became rich from some mediocre slop.

>>532147590
My recommendation: Treat your world as a 3D grid, where each (x, y) has a height (z), and define movement rules accordingly. Ramps can be special tiles that allow movement up or down 1 unit, while flat tiles don’t. That gives you clarity and modularity, and you can still make it feel “2D” visually if needed.

>>532147590
Both ideas seem reasonably, sorry, no further insight to give.

>>532142298
Glad you liked the idea but I'm having trouble coming up with the hook of the game (besides the sexy chicks). Unfortunately, I THINK it requires some decent graphical fidelity and lots of 3D modeling for clothing and styles. Which would be a ton of work.

Going with low fidelity (e.g. PS1) or blocky art and it rapidly loses all its appeal and becomes a boring roller blading game. Maybe it could be some sort of racing RPG in a retro-futuristic setting? Or maybe just a sexier Jet Set Radio? Or maybe a cool arcade racer in the vein of SSX?

I was doing so well for weeks, doing gamedev every day with insane discipline, but last night I had a weird parallel reality dream which felt 100% real and ever since I woke up something...? has felt off. Had all kinds of schizo thoughts today about the world ending and us being only mere neurons in some godlike-entity's brain, but I decided enough is enough so I went to the gym for a hard workout and picked up groceries for some meaty casserole cookings for the evening and I think I'm getting a grip of reality again.

Thanks for reading my blog.

>>532150008
Last night I was visited by a succubus. I think she was a single mom and it was bring-your-kid-to-work day because she was shushing her baby. She also had scales and a tale but somehow kept me from looking directly at her. She was really nice though. The most pleasant interaction I've had with a female in years.
I also felt weird but better later in the day and I've done 2 hours work so far.

if any punk off the street can slap together a steam page and make 1/10th of kalemongus's wishlists and sales in just a few months with no publisher, no money, and no network, then I'd say that's pretty solid proof that his "game" is steaming garbage that's unremarkable in every way

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.

>In producing a simplified cognitive teardown of Flappy Bird, we see that promise of simplicity can be surprisingly powerful and that complexity can be created in surprisingly simple ways. We see that one can design in complexity in much the same way one can design out complexity. We learned that the machine attributes that drive the use of slot machines are probably highly correlated with the motivational factors that keep us working for hours on Flappy Bird, hoping to reach a winning level. Although, just as in playing the slots, one is never really sure what winning is in real terms.

I’d recommend not trying to build a fully flexible solution. AoE2 has probably the best 2D iso slopes in existence, and they still suck. They are bugged and not well readable.
Scbw/C&C had the better approach with making ramps explicit terrain "blocks" that are modeled to stand out and have special rules.

>>532154852
This is my go to outfit but it makes no sense. Winder boots, shorts, and then formal dress shirt.
Why?
I'm inspired to make a game where you have a number of costumes, but your character's fashion sense is abysmal. You won't have the same costume to let you know its them, but they'll be the only one horribly dressed.

How are you liking devving in S&box? I've used Unity for a decade but I really like Garry's vision with this one. I think it'll be somewhat lucrative to tap into that community, like another Roblox or UEFN, while still holding standalone executable (and IP rights) power.

>>532156170
I'm trying to get something like RCT terrain. I can see why 3d is often recommended for this type of thing.
The terrain is AoE2 is pretty brutal, especially when you're trying to wall on a slope.
I'm was thinking of making slopes unbuildable, requiring you to flatten the terrain first. It would solve the issue of trying to build on terrain sloping away from the camera (opposite side of hills obscured by the perspective)
Having the elevations as cliffs with dedicated elevation changing ramps like in SCBW is definitely a good solution but I don't think it would work for my purposes.

All you had to do was let us gamedev in peace.

Hey anons, just wanted to share a project I’ve been working on with a buddy for the past ~9 months. It’s a racing game we’re about to drop on Steam (link at the bottom if you wanna check it out). He handled most of the programming, and I did the level design. First time making a game, so I’m pretty hyped (and kinda nervous) to finally put something out there.

It’s a pretty simple concept—no grindy BS or sweaty mechanics. Just pick a car, race against bots or friends, unlock more cars as you go. We’ve got 24 cars right now, each with different stats, and 5 maps (more in the works). You can mess with weather settings, time of day, etc. It also supports co-op through Steam lobbies if you wanna chill and race with friends.

I picked up most of this through Unreal and Blender, with a lot of help from my friend. Still new to all this, but I had a blast working on the level design—just building whatever came to mind and making it playable.

Anyway, just wanted to put this out there and see what you guys think. Feedback, ideas, insults—hit me.

Cheers.

RCT is extremely low resolution, and software-rendered. You can do it, but you gotta sit down on your butt and work it out from the ground up.

I forgot, in my schizo scenario Garry would have removed the game for "politics", causing normal people to lose their shit and in the future he'll be called pro-genocide for doing it.

whats better - a standard inventory system (similar to that in minecraft)

3 base items for tools that you cant change / move (wont have to) and just having resources as items

PEELING WHAT?1

>>532112780
Video games are complex multidisciplinary multimedia projects. To learn video game design and fundamentals, you need to learn design and fundamentals in all of the relevant fields including, but not limited to, gameplay design, graphical design, narrative design, sound design, etc. All of these should ideally add to and enhance each other, rather than exist independently as they frequently do in those "bad" games that feel off.

Design is the hardest thing to learn in any field, and there's really no definitive "best way" to learn how to design. To become good at design, you need to learn the as many options available within your design space as humanly possible. The problem is that these options are infinite, as people constantly come up with new tools and techniques, so you also need to be constantly learning.

The typical design process is to define goals, research various way to achieve those goals, and then choose between which of those methods best fits your constraints. A common problem that I see here at /agdg/ is that too many gamedevs are designing for the wrong goals. A video game designed for self-satisfaction or for (You)s and click on DD will be very different from a game that is designed explicitly to reach 1k+ or even 10k+ reviews on Steam.

Generally, my advice would be to keep an open mind (i.e. be a green goat) and never stop learning and improving.

>>532160093
>what is gmod to you?
Being able to use the existing models, textures from half life 2.
The focus staying on mods instead of game modes.
I know it might not feel like a change, but In my humble opinion it will undermine any kind of creativity due to lack of constraints. If something is just an engine, you will not get mods.
I think over the next decade you will see magnitudes more interesting games spring from arma 4 than s&box. Just like how there have been many more better games in Garrys mod vs Roblox.

>>532161095
this isn't reddit, nobody cares about advertizing here.

Anyway, when I say 'potential to make money', I think the base assumption is it will make nothing just based on soul/feeling/lack of innovation. However, it also checks the boxes that should theoretically make it money. So this is a battle between Soul and Soulless. I predict 7 sales, but it could mysteriously make more.

>>532162175
alright, so you have gmod. source 2 is completely incompatible with source 1.
and yes, there will be game addons in s&box

>>532162281
Where are the HL:A content anon, where are they hiding them. It's an engine. There will be 0 mods. Just slop.

>>532138778
Yes. I can't do it too much without fucking over the model quality. Most of the file size is the character models due to how the engine converts them.

Is making a gantz game achievable for one dev?
>similar asset scope to lethal company

>>532162542

Why aren't you learning to prompt?

does anyone know where i can find a royalty free pack of vehicle warning icons?

>>532162593
It's about the license, starting to think you're being biased on purpose. Facepunch did not agree for you to be able to use Alyx content because valve rightfully wants a +10% extra cut on top of the 40 or whatever.

>>532162930
And this is the reason there won't be innovation. It fundamentally turns it from gmod 2 into roblox 2.
The reason you are fine with this is because you are literally Garry.

we live in a frozen culture. frozen by fear of change. imagine if in the last 10 years they would have spammed features and content into minecraft. and reworked existing features that are just plain bad game design. the game would be insane. insane it's all about keeping it safe. not changing a running system etc.

>ai sloppa got more attention than every /agdg/ game combined
why even bother

>>532165076
yeah, he's asking me stupid questions
I'm already being persecuted more than enough without directly antagonizing you people. How dumb do you think I am

>>532164521
You're basically saying
>Battle Royale game modes could have been made in any engine
Yet they weren't, it was only thanks to modding platforms that devs could innovate, this is good for the whole industry. Bring down barriers by allowing people to work with the fantastic content of Half life Alyx.
Garry put his greed before you and me. He drew the line at content and made an engine, you can argue this is still a net good for gaming, networking and a unity clone that is not shit.
Yet I remain upset, because as a result we will have less innovation, we will never live in a world where devs had access to HL.A content and were able to make the most soulful games imaginable. Does this explain it better, can you understand my point or are you still being biased.

>>532165223
>How dumb do you think I am
Very

>>532164936
It's because for most people, success is a trap that causes them to just keep doing what they've been doing. For most people, only failure drives them to change out of a desperate need to escape failure.

>>532165268
i guess i just grew away from gmod, i haven't really cared about it for a decade, and even then i wasn't all that much about using stuff from other source games.
i want to make games.

>>532164936
There's loads of cashcow games that have had tons of content added. Minecraft is owned by Microsoft though and their greatest skill is in buying a company and then doing nothing with it, or finding new ways to drop the ball with everything they own, like Xbox, or Skype. You're noticing a Microsoft-specific problem

i got new project fatigue, yet i also can't just brute force one project. i feel like i should frameworkdev inside unity. just one framework that i constantly extend. with features for both 2D and 3D. and everytime i prototype i can grab the whole framework and easily drag and drop features.
i dunno i'm just tired of re-writing the same shit over and over again. but it got so bad i can't even bring myself to framework-dev now...
there's so fucked up mental frustration about writing a lot of code you never use again.

>>532165302
Let's play a game of hypotheticals. Let's say you've dedicated years of your life to participating in an online community. The people there already kind of don't like you and are rooting for your failure at every opportunity. While anonymous you say something incredibly inflammatory and some pissant comes up to you and asks you to identify yourself. Do you:
a) immediately share your game
b) try to placate the idiot and suck up to him in the hopes that one day 4chan will turn into a support group
c) outright refuse

yeah that's what I thought

>>532165487
Pretty much, I'm sorry for assuming ulterior motives, you're a gamedev and will look at things from that point of view. If you're the anon I've seen around posting life sim stuff, keep it up, I love games like it.
Just wish it (even your game) had the player controller, all other scripts and of course the look and feel of half life.

people tend to become friends with people with similar IQ and 90% of agdg have IQ under 120, therefore the highest IQ devs are unlikeable to most posters because they are perceived as "unrelateable"

>>532166587
Jealousy is unironically the correct answer here
No one would care about what Jews do if they weren't successful

Open world game with public transport so that is nice, once the city you're playing in slowly transforms into a more car centric map which removes stores and adds more parking lots, requiring you to use buses or buy your own car and waste money maintaining it, until you start hating cars and buy a gun to kill the president.

>bokudev

gamedev used to have an overrepresentation of high IQ people. Now that it's more accessible it's only natural that the majoirity of participants would be average (midwits). High IQ people have every right to compleain because just a few years ago finding friends through this hobby was incredibly easy since it was reserved for people with similar intelligence and interests. Now that it's completely overtaken by the masses it's just another place where average people dominate in numbers. You don't care because you're average and this doesn't affect you personally, but those of us that started doing this as a way to connect with other similar people lost everything

>>532167501
Actually high IQs wanna fit in because being smarter than everyone else gets lonely.

I'm glad the Inner Circle is here. At least games are getting made on this general.

>>532162542

This isn’t true. I’ve been programming for 7 years now and I’m better than Claude at architecture and logic. I’ve gotten especially better in the last year. Seems like years 8-10 have a huge impact thanks to the effect of accumulated skill making learning easier.
AI makes you as good as a programmer with 1-2 years of experience.

>>532167635
That's not what I said, retard.

>>532168163
I have plenty of my own friends of similarly high-IQ that I've maintained throughout my life. Therefore, I do not require validation from random internet strangers. It's lonely at the top of the mountain, but you get used to it. Also, high-IQ doesn't mean that you're capable of emotional maturity.

i hate myself and i hate all my ideas

>>532168573
Emotional maturity almost doesn't matter once you've psychologically tortured someone to the point of insanity

>>532168717
Some of us come out stronger after the torture. Others, like you, have come out broken.

You snooze you lose

>>532175679

>>532175796
It's 2025 now, this is real life.

>>532175851
i see pictures and videos and hear stories about indie devs doing things with other indie dev friends outside, in the real life all the time
im sick of it honestly... everybody should be shut in and depressed and alone like me

Back to devving you vermin.

>"I should learn to make a game."
>Get off work
>Open up the ol' Internet
>"Oh wait, I'm fucking retarded. Haha."
I've let you all down.

>>532176481
How can you let anyone down when no one has any expectations for you?

>>532176481
No matter how dumb we all are, we've gathered here against all odds and make game.

>>532176790
My old pal Anon always believes in me.

>>532176481

>>532177991

I want the Elin audience

>>532177991

>>532177991
Do you have a song in your soundtrack that goes
>D- DANGEROUS
Would be pretty cool if you did

>>532160352
>>532160352
why would you care about the name of some obscure board game from nearly 2 decades ago? is everyone here actually this retarded?

not to mention the name is so impossibly generic that it's likely been used for a thousand other things, and any attempt at copyright claim would be laughed at of court.

>"Your honor, he used the word "water" in his game! but I had a bicycle company from 1846 that also used the word water!!!!!!!1!111!"

when people say "i get it", they dont get it

>>532178851
you can pick any color as long as it's sickly green as the crosshair changes color based on IFF
>>532178991
closest thing is SystemST91's stuff probably

>>532175329
>He put in the work, you didn't
YES I FUCKING DID AND NO AMOUNT OF WORK CAN MAKE MY BRAIN PRODUCE GOOD IDEAS
IM RETARD
IVE BEEN DEVELOPING MY GAME SINCE BEFORE YOU WERE BORN AND I HAVE NOTHING NO MATTER THE EFFORT. EFFORT MEANS NOTHING. I WASNT BORN CORRECT AND MY LIFE IS OVER. IM GONNA KILL MYSELF. I AM NOTHING MY EXISTENCE IS MEANINGLESS I AM A BACKGROUND NPC.

>>532179419
I think I get it.

>>532179445
>you can pick any color as long as it's sickly green
well sir that got a chuckle out of me and so I say 'sold'

>>532179721
>I AM NOTHING MY EXISTENCE IS MEANINGLESS I AM A BACKGROUND NPC.
While you cry about that, I'm making a game that captures that feeling.

>>532175634
>>532175796
>have two friends
>know one irl, the other lives in another country and I met him playing Eve Online
>usually play coop games with them a few times per week
>I know for a fact both of them can program and have done so professionally
>know neither of them have ever seriously tried to make a game and don't currently make games for fun
>don't want to fuck up my friend group dynamic by starting a group project with a pair of nodevs
You just can't make a nodev into a yesdev

>>532179721
>MAKE MY BRAIN PRODUCE GOOD IDEAS
>IVE BEEN DEVELOPING MY GAME SINCE BEFORE YOU WERE BORN
Sounds to me like you got stuck on the first idea you had instead of iterating and learning that having good ideas is a skill and learning that skill

>>532174510
yeah mate thanks for the valuable insight: man with fans has fans

>>532177991
You won the "Feature no one ever asked about" award.

I was mistaken I always thought this song said "D- Dangerous" and not Bangarang

I still think my versions more badass

>>532180040
i haved a friend who programs professionally and when I asked him why he doesn't try to make a game he said he hates programming and only does it for a paycheck

>>532180040
>You just can't make a nodev into a yesdev
You can, but you would need to act as a game director, and they would need to act as employees. You couldn't be peers.

>>532180130
This never really happens with gamedev though.

You can make a mega-hit successful game, release another game and nobody who played your original game will give a single shit about your new game.
