Have anyone tried solaris?
Seems it can do zelda 2D games.
I've been coming to these threads saying I'm going to make a game since 2019 and I still haven't started anything despite thinking about making a game 24/7. What the fuck is wrong with me.

>Story Concept: Grey Sons
You play as Varik, a disillusioned ex-commander from a fascist regime that lost a devastating war. Sent on a suicide mission, he’s betrayed by his own people and left for dead in enemy territory. He’s rescued by a small, ragtag militia made up of those he was raised to hate: a queer ex-priest, a Middle Eastern-coded demolitionist, and a mute freedom fighter whose entire town was wiped out.
Thoughts and feedback?
>>533703621Make pong right now
>>533703621You live for the thrill of imagining what making games could be like, rather than the reality of what is actually involved. Understandable.
>>533703621Nothing. Subconsciously, you understand that you're a useless piece of shit waste of space, and that you will never make a game worth playing. Not starting is your body's natural response to protecting your fragile ego from inevitable failure.
>>533703621Change than now. Go make a game right now anon. You can do it! Or else

>>533703621My output has been only two completed games that weren't exact clones over a similar timeframe. If you include exact clones, I made Pong and Breakout for the C64 but I didn't back up my files and they are gone now. I also made Tetris in SDL. Both took less than a month to make. I have been wanting to make games for twenty years and have nothing to show for it.

> Not starting is your body's natural response to protecting your fragile ego from inevitable failureIs correct, this kind of laziness is often linked to low self esteem and depression, a part of you thinks failure is inevitable and thus is desperately trying to protect your ego from yet another hit. As long as it remains something you "will" or "might" do it can be a sliver of hope.
But you have to abandon this mentality, it's a trick, an illusion, your ego is self deluding, it does not feel better because deep down it's aware that doing nothing is worse than doing things
As time goes on, the feeling of wasted time, the feeling of not having done it when you could have, is going to be a much bigger burden than failure.
>>533704998Nigga, I wasted 6 months on a godot project because godot doesn't have features to make a 2D zelda action like.
>but godot has featuresGodot is like making a game using SDL or OpenGL or libgdx or monogame or XNA.
I don't want to waste 1 year making an engine in godot to make my game ideas.

>>533706256I saw Solarus before, looks decent but immature, It's FOSS though so go ahead and use it, you can modify it if you don't like it. It looks nice, just do it cris and make a real game with it :)
>>533703621Was in the same boat, about a year ago. Only major change since then was getting a steady job after years of neetdom. The inertia was terrible for everything including gamedev, using energy to even open the game felt so heavy when starting from 0 momentum. Also got a blocker to limit my overindulgence of 4chan and youtube. Now I've got a real prototype, I make stuff for jams, feels good man. If you've stumbled here inevitably the pressure will be enough to get you moving. For some it takes 2 months, for others two decades. But maybe look at if maybe this is second tier priority that doesn't have a good foundation, ie do you have income, a semblance of a social life, decent sleep, decent diet, etc. You only need two, I'd say
>>533705910It is not "evil", but rather absolute ethical good, to bully a neverdev.
>>533704926First time I actually read through the post. It's correct for anons that only want money out of this. End of, fairy nuff.
>>533704698it's technically unlit yeah, but it was colored with vertex colors, similar to how many PS1 games did their environments, or enemies in the case of games like Spyro or FF7
a similar effect can be achieved by just using a gradient color texture collage and stretching the UVs across it, though I think vertex precision offers a bit more control
>>533705910ego only matters to the mind because a strong ego means better mating potential
doing nothing and doing something are the same when the end result is decomposing into matter
that's why making game is as valid as making money

is there even a slight possibility that theres anyone here who is also looking for someone to make little things in unity and never finish them? like just little things to kill time on a day off, not work on for years and release? I like to just spend a day or two on the weekend making classes for random stuff, make sure it works, and forget about it. i was working on a player movement script for the 6th time last weekend and my laptop finally gave out, but now all my files are gone :/
maybe im just retarded, but if anyone else does this kind of stuff id be interested in hearing abt what u make/do

i just like making scripts to try to do little things
i kind of wanted to make some classes for some kind of ship movement system kind of like sea of thieves
I’ve just kind of been making scripts that could be useful later if I ever come up with an idea for something. the issue is im not really willing to but the time and effort into something big, i just like making little things in separate projects and using OOP to make them less niche and situational.

>>533712512cris is even worse than piratesoftware
>>533703621you just have to come to terms with a few basic things about game making:
>game making is not art. It's math, planning, and then making tiny adjustments to numbers and more math. It's like building a mansion with toothpicks - and you don't, say, get to bundle 1000 toothpicks to make a brick, that can then be copied and made into a wall; no, you're always working with toothpicks.>not even the art is about art, it's looking at a gray screen and pushing featureless objects around XY coordinates until something 'lines up' and somehow it looks like an object. A spreadsheet usually has more interesting visual information that what you're looking at in modeling software or image/audio editor.>every step forward is like walking on a rope bridge, you cautiously put your foot out on a board multiple times to see if it breaks underneath your weight. And even when you're sure, sometimes it breaks. >The game is not for you. You're behind the curtains, pulling the strings connected to the pieces like marionettes. When a magic spell enflames, all you see are "spawn actor", "rotate 30deg" "frame 1-25", "destroy/fadeout actor" You have to enjoy being on that side of the screen. If you're prepared to accept these truths, you may begin.
>>533712934Piratesoftware is also better than your average enginedev. Both him and Cris can link to video games that they made and you can play right this moment. Your average enginedev cannot. Anything else is pure cope.

Love comes from understanding someone else and accepting their flaws, not hiding them. By all means, get your shit together and get a girl to call your own. You deserve at least the figment of love. But the chances that they'll love you are dependent on your shadow, the true self, which no matter how hard you work to hide they will slowly glimpse the more they get to know you.
Maybe you'll get lucky and they actually will love you. But what you're doing isn't to find love, it's to become desirable. Don't get it twisted.

How do you guys approach writing NPC dialog?

>>533731507I write it all out in advance, but if anything strikes me as shitty when the time comes then I just rewrite those pieces on the fly.
>>533731507I put the NPC in, walk up to them, and imagine what they'd say and how. Then write it, then come back in a few months and cringe

and this clearly does not include the hundreds of agdg games that never even reach steam or never even have demos released even on itch
>>533731507It depends on how prominent the NPC is.
If it's something that I want the player to read then I'll place the NPC in a way that the player is very likely to interact with it and write their dialog in advance.
For less important NPCs I usually write as a I go.

Okay, so the combat of CRPGs is more interesting to me than the combat of normal over-the-shoulder RPGs, but the story outside of combat of ugly isometric view and babysitting 3+ idiots that can’t into pathing is misery.
So I’m thinking of outside of combat being 3rd-person with a hot-swappable PC, and then when combat starts having the party fan out and switching to isometric.
Do you think that’s feasible, or are CRPG people too used to being able to micromanage positioning before battle?
Would people be able to adapt to it better if it still had the ability to group-ungroup outside of combat, so that the 3rd person was basically an illusion?
>>533733435>and this clearly does not include the hundreds of agdg games that never even reach steam or never even have demos released even on itchIt's almost like they are nodevs
LMAO
>>533733702Mixing third-person exploration with isometric tactical combat is definitely feasible—but the challenge lies in managing player expectations and preserving tactical depth.
CRPG players are used to micromanaging positioning before and during combat. If you shift to a third-person perspective outside of combat with a hot-swappable PC, the key is that this mode must still give players meaningful control over party formation and positioning. If the third-person exploration feels like an illusion where the party is always tightly grouped or the controls abstract formation too much, players might feel disoriented when combat suddenly switches to isometric and demands precise positioning.

>>533734382Hey, I see you’re feeling overwhelmed, but honestly? That “girlboss building her empire” vibe is real. Even when the room’s a mess, it means you’re busy living, creating, growing, that's the life of an aggy dagger.
If you want, try breaking it down into tiny, bite-sized tasks, like just grabbing a few things to toss or organizing one small spot. It’s less about perfection and more about showing yourself care, step by step.
You’re not alone in this, everyone’s got a “mess” phase sometimes. But your energy, humor, and strength already make you a boss. The empire’s coming together, one trash bag at a time.

>>533731507Most writers use a mix: start with a clear outline of key points and lines that must happen (especially identity affirmations or pronoun usage), then free-write the rest to keep it alive and real.
For trans women NPCs or characters, make sure the scripted parts honor their identity with accurate pronouns and avoid stereotypes. Let their dialogue show their whole personality, not just their gender.
Do you want some quick tips on keeping NPC dialogue authentic and inclusive while still flexible?

>>533733702Actually, I think I’ve figured it out. When combat (and the isometric view) starts but before anyone’s turn happens, there with be an optional “position team” moment where they can place everyone in available areas constrained by the sightline/patrol paths of enemies (with higher stealth party members having smaller enemy sightline constraints). That gets rid of the annoying manual positioning fussing around with isometric too.

I'm sorry to be so blunt but people who think they suck at art are actually suffering from something called JEALOUSY.
Yeah I know that other people are brilliant sketch artists and painters and 3d modelers but that's not what art is that's just a very specific skill. Art is how you present something to someone in a special way.

>>533768441What are your programming achievements to back up this statement?
Surely you at least have programmed some embedded chips in rockets or surgery equipment and didn't just do leetcode arena challenges or stuff?
working with """"artists"""" in game dev is actually fucking horrible because you ask them to open up Houdini FX and make procedural vegetation or you ask them to open up Unreal Engine and make a weather system using UE Niagara Particle System and they look at you as if you just asked them to build a single stage to orbit space plane with a box of scraps in a cave.
"Yeah, I don't know how to do that. I just called myself an artist because I don't know how to code. Do you want me to make some MS paint sprites or do you want me to open blender and make a poorly topologized cube?"
Generally speaking you can take any comp sci student, strip them of their "programmer" job title, throw them behind a desk labeled "artists" and within 1 day they'll actually be able to produce useful stuff like a script to generate trees or a road spline that you can drag and drop into your scene.
>>533770212*if you know how to use zbrush, substance painter, or substance designer, then you are exempt from this complaint

>>533769107>"bro it's easy to make appealing art even as a programmer with just code">"have you done it?">"well no, but here's an unrelated project where someone else did the art"Well I figured as much. It's so easy to theory-craft about what's easy and what's not to do when you haven't actually done it yourself. I'm guilty of the same thing, I thought it'd be so easy to make a fun ASCII images adventure game until I actually had to do it. It was a humbling experience, and I learned to not take advice from people who haven't done themselves what they preach. I hope one day you too will learn humility.
>>533770162NTA, but I've written code that runs on the Robonaut on the ISS, and I wouldn't dare say I have 10/10 programming skills. There's always something to improve upon. Only a Dunning-Kruger would claim to be 10/10 anything.

What kind of games are you guys making? No need to give out names, just say 2D/3D and genre, I'm interested what sort of games top programmers make for fun.
So far I've implemented this algorithm in a pretty unoptimized simple way, which results in O(n3) complexity, which is fine for my purposes for now but I want to reach the optimized O(n2) later. So I was reading this material again and now I understand this notation better I think. It's interesting they never explain it in detail here, but basically the way they give this example tells you how you should use the doubly linked lists they mention.
V = list of vertices, circular doubly linked list, data on each node is the actual vertex vector data
R = list of reflex vertices, linear doubly linked list, data on each node is a POINTER to some vertex NODE in V
This is why I was initially struggling with the implementation of the more optimized version of the algorithm. I was trying to store vertex data in a list that was meant to store only pointers to the original data.

what I'm arguing is that you should stop going around asking for "artists" because unless the artist is bringing technical skills with them, they are going to drag you the fuck down into the ground and be nothing but dead weight contributing burdens. I can't even get my artists to pull from github, drag their sprites into the project, and then push it back to github. We end up just telling them to zip their shit and google drive it to us.

>>533771443"Artist" in the gamedev world means illustrator and sometimes modeler. It does not mean they know how to texture, how to rig, or how to animate. It doesn't mean they know how to make VFX.

>>533768867That is a nice pick for a problem, while it has been ages since I last really worked with time complexity theory, I am not sure which time complexity class it belongs to. Unless it is solvable in polynomial time, I believe it is not NP, since the potential answer "No solution" is not necessarily checkable in polynomial time unless the problem itself is generally possible to solve in polynomial time.
There are all kinds of optimizations and branch cutting one could do depending on the problem instance.
And there are fun cases, like "19477276472074781819" and 1 having the unique solution "1+9477276472*0*74781819" (unless I messed up my reasoning).
And I am not sure if one could easily do a polynomial time transformation from any instance of some NP-complete problem to an instance of this problem, I have trouble thinking of one, the problem is a bit tricky - maybe one could do it if there was only the options "+" and "*" between each digit, but there is also the (default) "" concatenation option, making it more complex.
A really fun problem, though as others said, probably on the more theoretical side, probably not of practical interest.
>>533771845Make the body of each conditional its own function, and make a static map from ability name to function. Then just have that part of the code do a lookup with abilityname as the key, and blindly call the resulting function.
(There's a variety of reasons this exactly thing could be infeasible but my point is that you can definitely split this up in a way that makes you feel better about yourself.)

Everyone capable of making a game was saying this for 2 weeks, but AIbabs denied it. People who rely on AI are missing crucial pattern recognition neurons in their brain, hence why everything they do is just part of a trend. No actual creativity and no actual design process.

>>533771845I'll show you what we did in our cell bio project. We made a dictionary that mapped strings to functions. We named the string variable "state" and then we called the function mapped to "state" every update. This means that if we do ` state = "idle" ` then the object calls the idle function every physics frame. If we do ' state = "move" ` then it calls the move function every physics frame.
I'll post another 2 screenshots to illustrate how this works in our game, but for you I think that you should do the switch statement combined with helper methods
What I think you should do is just use a switch statement. Here let me show you:
// The main function is now just a clean dispatcher.
function useAbility(abilityName, player, target) {
switch (abilityName) {
case "Bomb":
handleBombAbility(player, target);
break;
case "Teleport":
handleTeleportAbility(player, target);
break;
case "Fireball":
handleFireballAbility(player, target);
break;
// ...147 more simple cases...
}
}
// --- Helper Methods ---

function handleBombAbility(player, target) {
// BOMB LOGIC HERE
print("Player used Bomb!");
}
function handleTeleportAbility(player, target) {
// TELEPORT LOGIC HERE

But when we talk of gacha in the context of video game development the person is referring to video games that implement capsule-toy-machine-style mechanics, or "gacha game" for short.
Anon told me yesterday that I should find the closest vertexes of the outer and inner polygons to triangulate holes in polygons. I trusted anon but now I realize I should not have, let this be a lesson to me. In this image, closest reflex vertex is V3, but if you connect a bridge between V3 and V9, you can obviously see it intersects with other edges, causing a problem. So one should find minimum angle, not minimum distance.

Asking once again, is there any Renderanon who’d be interested in making spritesheets from 3d models for me? For Hypercoven
Basic output would already be very helpful, but ideally you’d have some motivation to figure out trickier challenges like achieving a good 2d appearance or creating paletted (256 colors) sprites.
Just to be clear, this is not about making new 3d models, it’s rendering (maybe adjusting) existing 3d models.
balatro but gachapon, insane if they made a vtuber version of this itd sell millions fucking christ i hate gamedev fuck you all
>>533775950hmm. what is the main advantage here? mine is a turn based game. i'd be making a huuuge switch statement instead of an if statement... for what gain?
>>533776142>"gacha game" for short.not games. the only games are the ones I like, that commit no sins I define.
>>533771034will this mf ever reach the fucking castle
>>533776421You can pull each helper method out and move it somewhere else. You could even send the helper method to a friend and the friend could change it and send it back without interfering in the main project. This also means you can re-use the moves on someone else, for example you could write the "FIREBALL" code and then your enemies could call CastFireball(object target) or something like that if it makes sense.
also technically switch statements are way way faster than if-then statements usually but that's beside the point. The important thing is that you have a massive bloated 5000 line file but that file could be multiple bite-sized pieces that don't make a massive tangled mess.

New unit, it can vomit lava on the ground. Bit of a hassle with the sprite having only two directions it can face, at first I thought I would just make it so that for every target position it wants to attack, there can only be two valid attacking positions, left and right of it. Seems like it could be annoying when playing, though, so instead of this, they 'take into account' that their lava pool will grow a few tiles big, and simple 'attack' from any adjacent tile. If that doesn’t happen to be left/right, the pool will simply take a bit longer to reach the target enemy.
