FIRST FOR DEATH TO ALL TRANNIES

easter egg in the making

Never get up /agdg/!
anything is possible I promise you
keep grinding
keep hustling
shoot for your dreams!

im gonna be the very best
gamedev there ever was

>>534220705
I just want you to know that your game is really cool and I'm happy for you and a bit jealous too.

Just drop the pretentions of being a right winger and be honest with yourself, you made a troon game.

Do americans really wear shoes indoors and lay them over glass tables?

>>534221594
trannies believe a man can magically become a woman just by willing it
agps know that's retarded but think it'd be nice

Do I really have to make the protagonist of my game a man to avoid the AGP accusations?
What if I give him a cute little girl companion he has to carry around...

Peripeteia is as straightcoded as trannies are real women.

>>534222497
>Do I really have to make the protagonist of my game a man to avoid the AGP accusations?
If it's a first person game, yes.
If you ever make a first person game where you play as a female you are an AGP troon, no exceptions.

>>534222497
if you didn't have AGP you wouldn't be in this dilemma to begin with. you'd just make your protag a man because that would be your fantasy. being a cool man doing cool stuff in a virtual world. you wouldn't be fixated on the of somehow adding cute girls (underage or not) to it. the image you posted is clearly concept art for a traditionally masculine gameplay experience, action, war. wanting to insert girls of any kind into that scenario is a symptom of your mental illness.

It really is funny though. I've seen the threads trying to defend this game and saying how it's not tranny shit, even though

>literal fucking tranny music in the game

It's fucking red flag after red flag. And people still try to insist it's not troon shit lmao.
I bet the dev could add a troon flag to the game and the retards would still insist it's not a tranny game.

why is it not a feminine urge

does my man blud even realize that ascribing random arbitrary things to the transgenders is ironically the thing trannies do when they post shit like "fallout new vegas made me a femboy" and "minecraft bee is trans, there i said it" on twitter

you're just giving them things
you gift them and say hey trannies. Here, you take the concept of EYEBAGS and SWEATER. They're yours now. Straight men can never enjoy SWEATER again. It's yours now, please take this humble gift

you're giving them even more power. you validate them.
and i don't like that. just how i don't like how much they have already claimed, like the gays claimed all forms of rainbow colors, how they stole blue+purple color pattern and many other color schemes (look up "bisexual lighting" on wikipedia, real article), how they ruined the concept of male camaraderie (Frodo and Sam from LOTR etc) how they claimed striped socks which used to look hot on (normal) girls but not anymore.

And on top of all the shit that the thieves stole, you are giving them MORE shit? Fuck you! im not giving them any more shit. I want that shit for myself! I want to enjoy girls with bags under their eyes in sweaters! im a man!!!
are you working with them bro? are you a double agent?

>>534224910
any game featuring little girls is pedoshit and the dev(s) needs to be executed

>>534224910
At least one of those is a literal robot wearing human skin. You're risking your life to protect Mr. Goldstein's sex robot because you've been successfully gaslit into perceiving it as a human child rather than a machine.

how do i implement mirrors without tanking performance?

>>534226041
you don't

>>534225852
It's called a hook, moron.

>>534225076
if you were a woman you would know
alas...

Progress

>>534224878
I sure hope you're not afraid of bugs...

>>534226223
If your game’s hook is a story, why not save yourself a lot of time and just write a book instead?

>>534226363
AIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>534226041
duplicating the geometry across the mirror plane should be the goto for indie devs, "modern solutions" are only appropriate if the geometry would be too expensive to duplicate or there are additional considerations like mirroring lighting

The hook of DOOM is you're a lone marine. You don't need a book to tell that story. Just gameplay.

>>534225502
>Disco Elysium 2 was gonna be allegedly with a pregnant woman protagonist. i was excited for that, it's unusual and novel. but the game died :((
is it fully dead? I haven't been keeping up
last time I checked the studio fired all the OG devs and dealt with the lawsuits, but they were still making the sequel

Another day another game that was supposed to be a competitor to my unreleased title turned out to be small scope slop, SAD. Not fun, and in the end, not even close to competition. It's now just acting as an appetizer for my genre defining masterpiece.

>>534226728
The hook of doom is that it was basically the first 3D first person shooter with height maps and non-angular walls. No one cared about its story. The story was not a hook at all and in Carmack’s own words was completely unimportant.

>>534226942
You better not have made another tranny anime slopfest

>>534226942
I know that feel.

I only make story games. I don’t write books because there are some stories that can only be told through interactive media.

>>534226986
>hey heard of doom?
>no, what is it
>it's a first person shooter with height maps and non-angular walls
>sounds metal as fuck, I need to play it
sure, anon

okay fine, I will extend a sliver of goodwill
does "come for the story, stay for the gameplay" make sense?
you can't actually convey sweet gameplay through words, so you need other lure and stories are the most potent means we have
and even if you did, there's nothing wrong with having multiple hooks

>>534227040
No, and assuming anyone who is posting anime, is also making an anime game is weird btw.
>>534227284
I will price my game cheaper than my "competition" this increases the funny.

>>534227752
>you have lived long enough to interact with zoomers who have no concept of the technical arms race of gaming
Oh my God...

>>534226928
as the robot lady from half-life used to say, "It would be funny if it weren't so sad"
if somebody wrote this situation as a disco elysium plot point, everyone would shit on it for being a too over the top critique of evil rich people

>>534226942
giwtwm

>>534227752
No one came for the story of doom. They only came for the gameplay because back then there was basically no comparable gameplay.

Story as a hook only really became a thing once gameplay innovation plateaued in the 2010s and games had to resort to story to distinguish themselves from their competition instead. But before that happened, games were distinguishing themselves through gameplay hooks and gameplay technology.

>>534226728
lmao you think doomguy being a marine is what sold copies? he could've been a knight or a wizard or a cop or a school shooter, it had nothing to do with why people played the game

>>534227732
>there are some stories that can only be told through interactive media.
Like?

>>534227892
seems I have lived long enough for people to believe that they need only say "zoomer" to win the argument
this isn't a card game, there's no fucking triumph card you can pull out and expect everyone to bow before your peerless mastery of rhetoric

The story of... the Cheetahmen

>>534228535
Were you alive to see 1990 to 2010? If yes, then either you knew what was happening, or you're so braindead that you didn't know what was going on around you or you have no capacity to recall the past, and to juxtapose it to the present.

>>534226363
burn it down

>>534228535
If you’re a millennial or gen-X then you should remember the game technology arms race of the 90s and that Doom sold based entirely on its technology.

Time to brainstorm more ideas. I have some the overall structure and basic mechanics implemented but mechanics alone are not a game.

>>534228340
you have a point
but it's not like they could have made doom completely abstract
it wouldn't have sold so well if it had pong-level graphics
story isn't and shouldn't be everything, but it is a part of the complete package
some kind of framing is necessary

>>it's a first person shooter with height maps and non-angular walls
said nobody ever
it would've been something more like
>it's a game where you shoot demons and it's like realistic since you're looking through the eyes of the character and not like a top down arcade game
and the response would've been like
>I don't get it
if they hadn't played wolf3d
but then when you show it to them their mind is blown because they had never seen anything like that before and hadn't even considered it possible for a game to do that

zoomies won't understand, you take things for granted

how do i get good at character design

>>534224549
Last name "Hikes."

>>534227732
if you look at the visual novel Mojika it shows you what is only possible with the medium of a game. the style of writing and the first person perspective a used very well. most are quick to call the writing and prose shit when it is seen outside the game, but as soon as you play it yourself you see why it's written that way.

>>534229189
to drive in the point further

before wolf3d and doom the concept of a first person game not sure when the term "first person" got poopularized would've been wizardry or anything similar to that, grid based movement, minimal graphics, fake 3d

basically wolf3d took the dungeon crawl and turned it into a real time action game and then doom advanced that into something that looked 3d

>>534229189
>>it's a game where you shoot demons and it's like realistic since you're looking through the eyes of the character and not like a top down arcade game
>and the response would've been like
>>I don't get it
>if they hadn't played wolf3d
>but then when you show it to them
so the guy got hooked by the shooting demons part
and was then intrigued enough to let you show him, which, being a subsequent action, is by definition not a hook anymore
you're undermining your own position

the arguments of other anons were much more sensible
which is unsurprising given you're the only one who felt it clever to type "zoomer" again

>>534222808
Based, sick of hearing mentally ill porn addicts hum and haw over adding gay shit to their games.

This... is how /agdg/ died.

NTA but the latter. You just have to repeatedly encounter situations where you're like "How can I do X with this fucking thing" and then start looking at the properties and functions the type has. You don't proactively learn that kind of thing

>Their equivalent of a ternary operator is retarded
It's the same as Python's.
>I also don't like their lambda functions
I would prefer if it was just "func a: a" instead of "func (a): return a" but if it ain't broke.
>If you aren't expecting nested objects and arrays to be passed by reference rather than by value that can cause some annoying hugs.
Pass by value vs pass by reference is a retarded 80s boomer concept that they teach CS kiddies because they have nothing else to teach. It doesn't apply to modern languages. All modern languages are "pass by value and references are values".

>>534251320
Not him but modern languages being entirely pass by reference, where every object becomes passed by reference is completely retarded and the C-like distinction is still the best and leads to the most decisive code.

>>534251320

>>534250771
she's a 6/10

>>534251320
They teach value-type vs reference-type in your first week in college, using a language like c#.
There is no * or & bullshit like C++ where literally everything is a value type.

I don't know what to work on next.
I had an idea for a mini game, but the more I think about it, the more I realize it probably wouldn't work.

>>534248014
Oh yeah? Post your game.

Alright, /agdg/, what's your daily ritual to prepare for devving (or pretending to dev)

>>534252079
Same. I hate not having complete game ideas.

>>534251518
No. C is pass by value unless you specify that you want to pass by reference, which you absolutely never should. You should at most pass the value of the reference and then dereference if you really need that functionality (you shouldn't because it's unsafe). Functions should not have side effects.

I code in ICUP

>>534252332
lmao, you fucking cant build anything without passing pointers around, wtf are you on

>>534252128
It's called going to work.

>>534252332
Yes technically pointers are values but it's the exact same idea as passing by reference, with the -> operator and dereferencing functionality.

If your game isn't a copyable template then it is not worthwhile

my game is a beautiful and unique snowflake, just like it's creator

>>534252669
>>534252986
void increment(int& a){ // this is pass by reference
a = a + 1; // This is a side effect that isn't immediately obvious. NEVER DO THIS

void increment(int* a){ // this is pass by the value of a reference
*a = *a + 1; // This is a side effect, but looks fucked up enough that you'll immediatley recognize it as a side effect. Do this with extreme caution.
}

>void increment(int& a)
dude, in C this is incorrect and wouldn't compile.
Passing by reference in C is done like this, with your example:

void increment(int *a) {
*a += 1;
}

whereas if you were doing a struct you'd do

void whatever(structtype *a) {
a->value += 1;
}
and this is done all the time, it's "unsafe" yeah but so is everything else.
maybe you're talking about some other weird C-like language, I don't know.

>>534253437
This is C... right? I actually haven't written any raw C in close to a decade.

>>534253080
What am I looking at? Action roguelike shit?

>>534253936
oh wow. I played the first multiplayer a few times, it wasn't too bad.

>>534253995
C doesn't have references types. It's just values and pointers

We need 5 billion more action rogue likes before the games industry improves.

My game sucks.

>>534254260
This, but unironically.

>>534254346

>>534253328
>Do this with extreme caution.
i'm saying that you can't escape this, it's not a matter of coding style, its a fundamental functionality of programs to manipulate data this way. i agree that the first method obfuscates things, buy saying you should avoid passing pointers to functions is just silly

>>534253991

>>534254787
eeeeww

>>534254441
You can in most cases, but it's just more boilerplate and possibly extremely cumbersome for large data blocks. If it fits on the stack, you should ideally return the value on the stack rather than modifying heap memory outside of scope. e.g. It's probably unreasonable to make a full copy and return a full mesh or texture every call to a function that modifies those, although some popular libraries I've used like OpenCV does indeed do this since you're expected to pass around immutable textures. However, in the case of something small like incrementing an int, "clean code" dictates that you write it out as.

int incremented(int a){ return a + 1; }

// elsewhere
a = incremented(a)

different definitions of engaging. for twitch stream viewers action games are not very engaging because the pace is too constant and if every moment is big no moment is big. but for the player action games are very engaging, that's why action is such a popular genre. action has a problem going "viral", no problem hooking actual players.

There's an infinite amount of things you can learn. I'd say do something in the vein of what you actually want to do rather than focusing on completion of games that won't teach you what you actually give a shit about.
I also think being overly ambitious and then dropping the project is fine AS LONG AS you don't keep dropping things for the same reason. For example, if you're like "I keep getting games to the point where I need to write the dialogue and then I drop them", then you need to figure out a different way of dealing with that.

You can watch replays of randoms playing your game? That's kind of creepy. Or am I retarded?

>>534276518
Well, make pong/breakout/tetris with a twist. I mean, come up with your own game on that complexity level.
The decisive point imho is you should be able to express at least in human terms relatively easily how the game should work. Then your task is to translate that into computer speak, and you will learn from that. The problem with huge projects is, if you are not experience with phrasing things for the computer, you will not even know where to begin describing it. You probably wouldn’t even be capable of describing an MMORPG to an oblivious human (describing it in enough detail that they can picture exactly what it’s like – which is what programming is about)

why are indie devs so bad at level design? I was playing link's awakening on the gameboy and despite being such a primitive device some of those dungeons have amazing design, meanwhile modern indies go out of their way to avoid having to design at all and ship content that's essentially just a static maze or even worse, randomly generated

Levels are easy to design when you have mechanics to design the levels around. Indie mechanics don't go beyond jump and shoot.

How come level design is so abhorrent in Peripeteia, when it was built on a systems heavy design like Deus Ex?

yeah i'm gonna wrap this game up and then go get a repetitive brainless manual labor job

In the Zelda series the dungeons usually have their own gimmicks rather than being dependent on that game's base mechanics.

IDK what mechanics Peripeteia has, but the list of Deus Ex mechanics is short enough to fit inside its dedicated tutorial level.

Each of those "gimmicks" is a mechanic.

No everything you can see in the screenshot is what he shared... So what do you think? ;^)

>>534289105
It's a unique skill and I think most people don't find it interesting. Indie devs might be very passionate about their gameplay and not understand how largely it's informed and constrained by the levels.

>>534235597
editpad chads win again

>>534290079
>Each of those "gimmicks" is a mechanic.
So your argument is that it's easy to design a level around mechanics when you have level specific mechanics to design around? Wouldn't the level specific mechanics just be considered part of the level design?

>>534259773
2 and 3

>>534290521
Sure, if you want to think about it that way. The point is that mechanics and level design are not divorced. If you want interesting levels, you need interesting mechanics. People enjoy those metroidvania key-and-lock "gimmick level mechanics" because they typically double as combat mechanics.

>>534272657

She is literally me

Enginedevs tell me, is it worthwhile to start making the low-level changes to a modern engine like Unity or Godot in order to make it run on Windows 98 and hardware from that era in general?
I probably have the technical know-how to do it but I have a feeling it would require so much overhaul regarding threading and core usage and replacing the engines' own memory management / garbage collection mechanisms with something completely different.
I want to try and make a game that would fit on a CD and run on ancient hardware just as a technical hobby project, but am wondering what the starting point should be.
Of course I could use an actual open source engine from that era like id Tech or the Quake engine but that wouldn't really challenge me in the way I'd like.

the first time i've ever preferred godot editor to not take up the whole screen width. godot editor is a pain because you really want the central area be it 3d editor or script editor to be 16:9 just in itself, or at least 4:3, and then you also want decent width for the file browser, scene tree, and property inspector as well. so I think you really do need some kind of widescreen monitor like a 3440 x 1440. You just get cramped otherwise. I think a single 3440 x 1440 curved IPS or VA panel is the optimal dev setup. If you do lot of C++ coding then bonus if it can tilt sideways

Is AI voice a permissible use of AI?

>>534291442
I don’t really get it, if you take a modern engine and make it compatible with old systems, you’re just ending up with an engine from that era, no? I mean it’s not just the CPU-side that will have to change, but all the GPU handling… all shaders be rewritten… etc.

>>534291442
no
godot depends on many third party libraries which won't build for that old platform, and it also requires opengl3+ shader based pipeline, whereas Windows98 was more opengl 1 or 2

what would be better would be making something with the usability and interface of godot / unity but that uses SDL 1 on win9x and SDL 2 on newer

So you'd make a godot editor clone in SDL + ImGUI or Nuklear or so. That way you can actually improve upon godot, under the hood it is a shit show, and has a few bad design decisions. It would probably be less work to make your own and you can improve on it too.

For example, godot uses gdscript which is almost python but not quite. you could just use full on cython as your own gdscript alternative.

godot script editor has good drag and drop integration with godot inspector and scene tree etc but it doesn't have the same keyboard shortcuts as vscode, you could make your SDLdot ImGUI editor work like VSCode does, etc

>>534291806
it is if you voice2voice it using your own recordings.

if you text2speech it then no it is not

>>534291898
Yeah, that's what I figure as well, it's mostly just to see if I can get a weirdly interesting technical project going
>>534291941
So I really should just use this as a chance to debut in proper enginedevving instead of trying to hammer Godot or Unity into something it's not. Great and insightful post, thanks.

5 tasks to go

running a shader on placeholderimage2d or whatever the name is in godot is borked

>>534292923
>Note: This is not intended to be used as an actual texture for rendering. It is not guaranteed to work like one in shaders or materials (for example when calculating UV).
>If you came here looking for an empty texture to use for shader based rendering, then you are better off using a different texture type entirely: GradientTexture2D or NoiseTexture2D.
>PlaceholderTexture2D was made for other purposes and it behaves differently in shaders

I also made a save and load function, the camera position is also saved aside from the character and level information. Still a wip.

>>534291941
>under the hood it is a shit show, and has a few bad design decisions
Can you tell me more, preferably with some practical use cases that have impacted your development using the engine and not some vague waffling about the bindings API that 99.9% of devs and users will never even notice?

I am a victim.

>built on a systems heavy design like Deus Ex
though both our inspirations and goals veered far from just aping the original DX long ago, both because it's hard to live up to and because we want to make our own thing, having third person camera available from the start, for example.
>How come level design is so abhorrent?
I understand the criticisms we receive but the levels are deliberately designed in a way that makes full use of the available moveset and recreates the feeling of just getting lost and taking in the atmosphere while urbexing. Not everyone's cuppa tea but it founds its niche and we're proud of it. Future levels will follow this trend. Also remember modern level design revolves around catering to DarkSydePhil and putting yellow paint and pretty lights to "guide the player". Getting into our game requires breaking this conditioning.
>>534290079
>the list of Deus Ex mechanics is short
it is short but the interactions and freedom in using them is what makes it special, leading to little "aha!" moments when they click just right. I think we achieved that, people play the way they want (sometimes discovering things I didn't account for, which is very cool) and some don't even discover mechanics others consider essential.

This just sounds like cope to me. I guess just because there are bad ways to guide the player that people made fun of, you're gonna disregard the basics of game design all together? That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard.

As modern AAA graphics evolved, heavily detailed and complicated environment art lead to increased player confusion as to what in the world is gameplay relevant and what is simply decoration. Most "yellow paint" isn't as much about guiding where the player where to go as it is to communicate to the player what objects in the world are interactable. This isn't as much of an issue for lower fidelity indie games and older games where you have just a few distinctly detailed unique-looking objects in the world.

Just had a funny though
>You know what would be interesting? An arpg where all the damage was normalized. Players had a set DPS they could do, and it didn't matter what skill they used they would do that DPS. So a skill that fires off a lot of little projectiles each projectile would do a little damage, a long cast time big skill would do a lot of damage.
Then I realized that modern argps and mmos -already do that- with skill effectiveness and gear score.

women can absolutely be believable action heroes (in the appropriate context, many action scenes are not believable regardless of who the protagonist is), though I can't think of a game that employs such a character.
