Oneyplays will never play my game while making Epstein jokes...

you VILL make the pick between 3 things game

thanks for making the new thread. i just bought chatgpt plus.

Gaben says learn AI or be left 4 dead

>>533578649
why note claude code? chatgpt is way too sanitized

This is what my slop game will be about.

>>533578791
because I use chatgpt at work already.

I spent the entire day watching a course of sound design with Vital.

It seems Vital can take a text and output a wav as well.

lolidevs are sick.

isn't that "roguelite"?

Present interesting trade-off decisions. IMO, the easiest way to do so is with combinations of positive and negative effects.

I need only the smartest, best paid ideaguys to come up with ways to properly visualize and teach the player all of these mechanics (or ways to make the gameplay itself better):

>Start: Ghost possesses a random object in range
>Player enters radius: Radius appears, ghost chases and attacks player
>Ghost attack: Applies a debuff that slows you down to zero then damages you proper after a second or so
>Both static objects and guns can be possessed, guns start shooting at you when possessed
>Some objects like graves and guns are not normally damageable by melee until they are possessed (this is to avoid players just bulldozing through the graveyard with a bat)
>Ghosts can even possess guns you are currently holding, in which case you have to throw the gun then damage it to remove the ghost
>When you destroy a possessed item, the ghost is stunned for a second, then has a 50% (100% the second time) chance of either possessing another item in range or turning on kamikaze mode
>Ghosts are not hittable unless in stun or kamikaze mode
>In kamikaze mode, the ghost is visible and explodes in your face

>>533579106
do not use the f-word, that is against the Godot Code of Conduct and your posts will be marked as off-topic, bosci anomaly

Imagine if she lurked here and rubbed one out to the idea that other game devs were jacking off to her...

>>533579582
but cooking that stuff and refining your designs with iteration is the most fun part of gamedev, why would you want someone else to do it

>>533579809
I'm so fucking tired

>>533579582
Ok, but like what's the point of all of this? I need to know that. What's the goal of this game that it matters you outsmart these ghosts?

>>533579686
thats not a troll, thats genuine frustration

you need to kill all enemies to win

I don't like using unity personally. I will acknowledge many things I like were made in unity.

>>533537223
Gui sliders are a good idea. I've done that kind of thing in my non /agdg/ stuff. I'm more interested in running full scripts than individually putting those lines in, but I wanted to do a test.

I want to use something like clay with Vulkan as a backend at some point.

> I feel like seeing you type "set-scale" so slowly just to change the scale of the cube

Thats why I was bummed I couldn't get a robust and easy autocomplete system going.
The Geiser mode's autocomplete is bugged and scheme mode isn't grabbing everything (stuff I type out in files but not files I load).

I might just write a macro that stores keywords and defined things into a trie, and just autocomplete manually from the interpreter.

>>533579938
Damn, I'm not shameless enough to do this.

I'm making games with emotional depth and stories that people will tell long after the apocalypse of this world. As the origin myth of the next world.

>>533580424
I should also mention the recording was long because I was trying to present certain information as I typed so you guys could see the code but I made some mistakes. I was too lazy to do a shorter retake.

Wait how exactly did AI ruin chess? I thought chess was completely "figured out" pre AI boom?

>>533579106
I've been playing clown music on my midi keyboard while thinking about how to architect this lock free inter-thread data structure.

>>533578642
Literally what I'm doing.

>>533581575
it plays too weird that humans would never intuitively do

Would it be profitable to market my game on Tumblr and Second Life? Maybe I'm looking for a very specific type of Millenial.

>>533581761
Eric there's more to life than intuition okay?

>>533581575
AI existed before normies figured out that AI existed.

>>533579582
From what I can see and read, I'm not sure the whole visible radius is necessary, since the ghosts attack you immediately and can't be hurt when you don't see them.

>Ghosts can even possess guns you are currently holding, in which case you have to throw the gun then damage it to remove the ghost
Genuienly, is this fun? It doesn't seem so, but I can't tell without playing

>>533580347
>they try to kill you and you try to kill them
>you need to kill all enemies to win
So do you need to go and clean out the level room by room or what? Are the ghosts the only type of enemy?

If the game is linear then it seems clear that you can make one room only filled with graves, then one filled with guns, then with everything that ghosts can possess.

Also, go easier with the effects. We can see that your pixel art is nothing special, you're not hiding it, but the gameplay is much less legible.

Wait a minute. 'Trolly Problem' the game would be pure meme bait.

Levels which get more absurd in terms of trolly problems.

you're onto something here.

>>533565526
Corners seem to be unfucked. The UV maps seem to be slightly warped. But I need to do something with them anyway so the seams aren't as obvious.

what the fuck..... I can't

>>533582373
You stop the trolley with the least amount of people killed

>>533582308
Sounds like a good way to accidentally trick yourself into making a puzzle game.

I need to figure out a way to make this game attractive and eye catching at a first glance

Honestly, the problem with indie games using the anime style is that it doesn't feel genuine.
Some devs try to copy the "feel" of the anime artstyle, but aesthetics-wise it's closer to a stupid CalArts cartoon.
And while some can get the artstyle right, it's usually on the writing that 99% of these games fall flat.
It's especially annoying when you actually play one of these games and the writing doesn't match up with the visuals shown. In those cases there's no reason to use anime, but they still do.
Ultimately, I guess it comes down to things feeling more "western" even though they're aping a "eastern" style.

added a visual effect in front of the vehicle lights

>>533582539
>>533582567
This could work, multiple trolleys, multiple junctions, a switch at each one, trolleys cross over junctions, maybe a trolley can stop another trolley.

>>533582193

Anon is this just elaborate procrastination?

>>533582567
Never again, I made a puzzle game once and it was horrible. It was back when greenlight was a thing and it got green lit and the game was BAD. It sold a lot because people liked making fun of it on youtube but once it stopped selling and the money was gone I was left with a horrible shit stain on my portfolio, a week before I was going to get it removed from steam some publisher who just buys random games from people offered me money for it and I got to unload it. Sometimes learning what does not work is just as important.

>>533582158
>Genuienly, is this fun?
I think it's fun in a conceptual way, I like being surprised by gimmicks in games that make me act in different ways. A ghost taking over your gun and shooting you with it is like that scene in the evil dead with the possessed hand, but what is happening needs to be clear.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV_dgZ7yD-M

>So do you need to go and clean out the level room by room or what?
Yeah pretty much, there are gates between areas in a level and they open once you clear the room, they're usually designed as whole encounters mixing up enemies and layouts in different ways but nothing too fancy because I just want players having fun killing stuff without thinking too hard.

>>533582850
>maybe a trolley can stop another trolley.
Anon solved it.

>>533583023
>It sold a lot because people liked making fun of it on youtube
What game?

>>533582897
That looks really boring. They could've made it look interesting and made the puzzles interesting, but chose to execute it in the most boring way possible.

> I was left with a horrible shit stain on my portfolio

Who gives a fuck anymore, you are one shitstain among 9 billion, no one has time to care about your pride.

>>533582308
That already exists and it's a meme game full of dumb scenarios just as you said. I forgot the name.

whats the best way to go about making a minecraft-esque voxel game in unity?
ive watched a few tutorials but most of them use a tilemap or dont have the ability for things that arent cubes to exist.
i want to make something with both normal cubes and models, where blocks can be dynamically added to the game by just assigning a texture and a few stats

>>533583862
bro nobody is going to engineer shit for you
use your head

>>533582347
so how does this work? are you changing the position of the vertices before the draw calls and then feeding new vertice positions to the renderer (vulkan, opengl, etc.) then applying the UV on top of that via compute shader?

>>533582242
Pong AI is closer to the original sci-fi imagining of AI than LLMs

I dunno it's Godot, I just build a new arraymesh every frame whenever you move something. You can only edit one room at a time and after that they'll be static during normal gameplay.

>>533585259

>>533587450
and brutal td is just a remake of asteroids but on steroids and I still made it. Make your game, chances are people who like that game will also like your game.

>>533587450
I got into dev with the sole purpose of making a clone of my favourite game, but better.

Eric made SDV with the purpose of cloning harvest moon, but better.

Notch made minecraft with the purpose of cloning dwarf fortress and wurm online but better.

>>533579176
Vital is a synth, it just happens that is free to use.

But also is very powerful.

>>533587450
I never have to worry about this because my favorite games are far too large to be cloned by a one person team.

OK but which game did you clone?

>>533588580
Then you forgot what was bad about the game you played. Pick any game and I could tell you what was bad and could be made better.

>>533588751
That's very difficult competition, they have a game and I don't (YET).

>>533588351
So you're using FL Studio?
What's your opinion on LMMS, ardour, since you're on linux I think?

You could have made something basic like Mage Arena. But you did not

Why shouldnt i make something like this?
Its BANANA game on steam btw
Basically you dont make money from game sales because its free, its revenue from skin transactions

3 minutes of gameplay from today. I'm making a 2D top down crime sandbox as a second project to work on when bored of my first project. This one's still pretty fresh in development but I probably spent like 4 hours today just dicking around robbing stores and going on killing sprees and shit in between development. Plenty of features already like hunting/fishing, gang hideouts, 6 different weapons, a couple of small heists, and buyable businesses/homes/weapon storage

>>533590459
This is how it feels to play my game by the way.

You're NGMI if you're still thinking on the scale of steaks and not on the scale of yachts.

>>533590991
I’d rather have a life time supply of steak than a yacht.

>>533590991
I'm vegetarian

well, it seems that my metroid-like game will have about 15-20 large (say 10 screens w*h) rooms and another dozen smaller rooms
hollow knight has about 450 and the average is about the same as mine, it took a team of two artists like 5 years i think to release the full game (dlcs included) so i am hopeful i can get it done in about 8̶ ̶m̶o̶n̶t̶h̶s̶ 18 months

>>533591572
>unwind
As in what? Why can't you "unwind" with game dev?

>>533590904
That looks ai genned, why would you use AI for something like that? Anyway you should've put hellbirther on itch or somewhere else.
Also you're making a mistake by doing a side project, you need discipline yourself into finishing whether you like it or not.

>>533579938
if I understood incremental games I'd probably make one

I just don't get them which leads me to having absolutely zero ideas for them

>>533591830
because I dev'd from 10:00 to 20:00 (except for eating)

Made this song using LMMS and a triple oscillator to learn to make sounds from scratch.


>>533589880
LMMS is nice, and can get the job done as long as you expect some chiptune or simpler quality.

https://lmms.bandcamp.com/album/the-best-of-lmms-vol-9

There are people that can do magic with LMMS.
But I think the advantage of FLStudio is that is easier because it has a lot of presets, meanwhile you have to know more about production to use LMMS at the same level as FLSTudio.

Haven't tried ardour, but it seems more feature complete than LMMS.

>>533590991
yachts are such a massive waste of money

>>533587693
>Notch made minecraft with the purpose of cloning dwarf fortress and wurm online but better.
Retarded statement

Added balancing animations, is just the player's usual blendtree mixed with separate animators activating for both arms when detecting steep drops on both sides

>>533587693
What if the game you're trying to clone is so fucking good that it's near impossible to do better? This is why I gave up on my dreams of making a diablolike.

How come we never see tomb raider likes?

wasnt the source engine based on an open sourced engine? quake iirc?

>>533593143
goldsrc was based on quake 1 with some features of 2 or something along those lines. not sure if it was already open source back then or if Valve paid id some money.
Source is just Valve's improved version of goldsrc but who knows, maybe they ported some features from later id techs over. by the point Source became public id tech 1-3 were all open source I think. you should fact check all this if you really care.

Jannies, you know what to do.

work hard now so that Christmas can be intensely cozy.

In Unity, I want to do some logic involving adding/subtracting a lot of image data from each other. Is there a C# API that can handle things like overlaying images, rotating them, scaling them, padding them etc.? Or do I need to do it all through a shader/shadergraph?

make a clone. ez

I had the websocket shit fucked up, wizard game is going now, was set to localhost like a dumbass.

>>533607398
I would, but any game I'd want to clone has fairly high production value. I'm not interested in making [existing game, but worse].

janime

It's hard for a game to be bad if you spend 5000+ hours on it. Novel writers revise and rewrite their books multiple times (sometimes more than 10) before they are happy with it and this is the norm. I think solo gamedevs could learn from them.

>>533607695
game but worse is how we got some classic titles though

>>533608887
7,500 books are released on Amazon every single day vs just 100 games released on Steam. Video games are multiple orders of magnitude more difficult and time consuming to make than a book. If an author spends 1000 hours on a single book, the equivalent gamedev would need to spend 75,000 hours on a single game, or 8.5 years of sleepless 24/7 work.

> so it's not really about choosing random things what I hate. It's more like, how I'm supposed to know what to choose when I don't even know what's better, and in Balatro that answer comes almost instantly.

I think an important nuance here is that the game shouldnt tell you outright which one is the best (Like some roguelikes do where the best one is the rarest), but rather, the answer for what you should go for should be answered by the items you already have and the direction you want to take with your build

>ludonarrative dissonance
Unless it's extremely egregious I have a hard time believing anyone gives a shit about this outside of /v/ needing an excuse to shit on something that's popular

>>533623776
It depends on how much custom stuff you build / how Brigador-like you want to be exactly.
If you build "Brigador but everything is actually 3D," it will be easy in Godot, but not have the classic look obviously. (It will probably look like shit. Because you need to use rather low-poly assets to be able to zoom out far enough. Not really Godot’s fault though.)
If you try to mimic the 2D style they did, it will be hard no matter which tech you use. They pulled a lot of tricks there that weren’t even done in the 90’s. No idea if it will destroy anything in Godot, but I doubt Godot will be very helpful either.

Multi-route story that was all predetermined by the author is still just a "movie story". You can't have a proper story that's dictated entirely by player actions with modern tech, at least not until AI can play the part of a DM.

>>533625424

>>533623361
>good

>What makes a video game story different from a book or movie or other story?
agency is the biggest differentiating factor of a game from other mediums, this most heavily impacts plotting and pacing.
books also have audience agency in pacing.

>>533625504
this argument always strikes me as kinda bizarre.
like the natural question to answer once you make this stance is....how many branches minimum are required to make it a game?

>>533626351
>books also have audience agency in pacing.
Do films also have audience agency in pacing since I can watch them on x2?

>>533626251
A JRPG has a proper story but no player agency. A D&D campaign has a proper story and player agency, assuming the DM is competent. Dwarf Fortress has player agency and a sort of historical progression, but no proper story.

>>533625747
Sure.

>>533626525
i dont mean how fast or slow it's read i mean the pacing of actions....because it's generally irrational/autistic for the author to dictate the exact pacing of everything it's left to interpretation.

>>533626605
What makes a DnD campaign different from DF if the story is what gets interpreted from the events that took place? Structure?

>>533627062
The same thing that differentiates a novel from a history book or from a company's business ledgers or from some guy's diary. I'm sure ChatGPT would be more than happy to describe the components of a story to you.

how would you achieve this style in an actual game? for the foliage specifically, billboards that subtly rotate 'at' the player?

>>533628528
It's one of those genres that gamedev-typical personalities such as myself tend to like the idea of making.
They have a reasonably tight gameplay loop (20-30 levels of the exact same mechanics).
They appear to have programmer-friendly minimum requirements for visual and narrative skills.
However, we all seem to forget that the tactics games we are trying to clone are really AA/AAA-budget games made by studios of 50+ experienced devs over several years...

None of these examples illustrate camera rotation so its hard to say. Billboards would be easiest but would break the feel quickly I think.

This, but unironically. They also need to be really pretentious and a hardcore believer of their research despite all evidence contrary to it.

>>533629514
doesn't look like any part of the texture is responding to lighting though, I'd go at it with a flat lit style with some baked/vertex AO

I can't find that tweet. How old is it?

I saw Jon retweeting x.com/LemmySmackett/status/1947459499326894157 .

I am disappointed in Jon's answer. He should have asked: "How much does each shrimp weigh on average?". And if the average shrimp then weighed 1 gram in Earth's surface gravity, then he should have done some quick math and determined that the 10^100 shrimps would have a mass of 10^97 kg. While the Sun has a mass of 2*10^30 kg.
Thus, to save all life on planet Earth, he should first ask where the shrimp are distributed, and if a danger to Earth or elsewhere, then wish for the shrimp to be gotten rid of in a way that does not endanger life on earth or elsewhere, neither now nor later.

I have thought about a wizard game for about a year and I can't really conceptualize how to capture the essance of autistic magic user.

All I ended up with was a tactical real-time-with-pause arena dueling where you can target incoming spells with your spells and maybe add deckbuilder elements on top... But you could reskinned that as not wizards and it probably wouldn't make a difference.

A wizard game probably needs to be something where you can design and build your spells like a manufacturing line in Factorio and then use them in the world somehow. Noita does well with its wand crafting system and there don't seem to be any upper limits to your power in that game short of making the game crash

>>533596785

You need to separate the action of movement from the action of spell casting.

I've finally learned enough where I can theoretically explain how the sound design on this song and production works.

Doesn't mean I can make this, but I've went from not having a clue, to oh, that sounds like an enveloped of a pad mixed with a present of a percussive noise layered, and then a woobly LFO to imitate a growl, and then a riser with a drop made from a sidechain automation to the velocity of the master, mixed with a high pass automation while a reverse crash does the build up.

While I can't make this level yet, It's great to go from WTF, this is magic, to understanding how theoretically can be made.

>>533651112
>all started with making a video game.
Started with co-founding a studio with a software engineer with video game experience and paying other people to make a video game. While Gabe certainly did contribute to the development of Half-Life by offering comments and ideas, to claim that he "made" Half-Life is utterly ridiculous.

Arguably if you actually want to portray humble beginnings, you should start with when Gabe was a "Madman Newell," the QA tester at Microsoft who brought a sleeping bag to the office.

>>533653778
Which is very odd to me. Why? Did they just not want to bother building an interface in-engine? The amount of effort going in to make godot translate everything or vice versa must have taken the same amount of effort but I don't know maybe it was just easier. In the end I don't care because battlefield has been ass since after 4.

I mean, you start asking and then musicians do be like, shit nigga, you need to master physics of audio and shit and learn gay mathematics of the physics of sound and memorize like 500 FFT equations to code and imiate the sounds.

When in reality you only need to understand what is a pluck, a pad, a percussion, a lead, a bass, a growl, a SFX.

And then use a fucking preset which you later edit.
You don't need to learn to make all that shit from scratch.

I learned to do a song with a simple oscillator.

friendly reminder it's a dead franchise

bf5 had a ~$400 million dollar budget, which means even if it sold 7.5 million copies at full retail price (actual sale price for half those sales: $4.99) it still would have been a massive financial failure even before you take into account the engine and store cuts

bf6 using gaydot is essentially an admission that the value of the IP has gone to shit, they're cutting every extra cost possible to try to extract the last few bucks they can off the name like a venture capitalist group buying up a dying mmo to milk the cash ship one last time

Studios really need to learn that half a billion dollar+ budgets is not a viable business model for 99% of AAA titles. The amount of sales you need to make that back just isn't going to happen. You literally need a cash shop and a dedicated whale base to even dream of making a profit with that kind of investment.

>>533656113
battlefield 4 cost 100m. why would bf5 be 400m and with cursory research I don't see any information on this so where are you getting these numbers or are you pulling it out your ass? also you're not taking into account dlc/mtx. battlefield is definitely making money even if it's not COD money or numbers.

if he doesn't convince himself that it was really complicated to begin with, he wouldn't be able to feel good about learning really basic shit

>>533658032
Idc about data security. Mostly just want to save in such a way it's safe cross platform as much as possible within reason. Need to be able to save objects, dictionaries would be nice. I am using json utf8 or whatever it's called, and supposedly it's no longer maintained. So for my new game I wasn't sure if it was wise to continue using it.

>>533658124
you think therefore you am

>>533658124
But enough about pedodevs previously on Itch.

>>533658745
I might be incorrect about json utf8 not being supported, I thought I read that, but I just googled it and now it's saying that it is. So maybe I'll stick with it.

some very obvious but useful advice:
put a version field into everything you persist, so you can easily detect if it’s compatible with current game version or not
whenever you want to stay compatible: make the new data you’re adding a new, optional, field and reasonably default when that field is not set

Right, I'm actually making a small game for the sole purpose of learning shit like this, and UI across resolutions, sending out a patch. I don't want to make a game for 2 years, only to have a bunch of rotten core systems. Or even something like Steam achievements, I'd like to learn that on my small game. Custom controls, different languages, all that shit.

I think the Steam Algorithm hates me.

just give me your home address and ill bring her to you, which latinx favela are you from haha?

>>533662214
I still don't understand why blender has objects as separate from mesh data, an object can only contain a single mesh so what's the fucking point of putting them in a hierarchy?. And then godot goes and implements this bullshit that bloats the scene tree for no reason, every mesh needs to be inside a mesh instance container, but a meshinstance container can only hold a single mesh. Collisionshape containers can only contain a single collision mesh, audiostream players can only contain a single sound file etc. Why have fucking containers for everything??

Then you go an import shit from blender to godot only to find that the name you named the object only applies to the container while the mesh is still fucking called the default cube. It's fucking nonsense.
