First for We're all going to make it!

Some of us will make it. Most of you will not.

>>534572057
source?!?!?

making zombies is pretty fun

most video games are bad and annoying for some reason or another, but i can make one that's actually good, nobody else thinks like me

Chuds, I realized I can use godot to generate some XML files I can use easy rpg converter to import as easy rpg files.

Basically that way I can use godot scripting tools to code my rpg maker 2003 game.

wtf bros.
agdg BTFO.

i went with the quick censorship, it also means less to deal with later for planning code around which is good

People who talk about self love are fucking retard nepobabbys that have never truly struggled. Self love isn't real in a way that's satisfactory and enough to be happy

How do I get good at character design?

>>534574557
My dad is an engineer at Antonov, I'm gonna make it.

>>534575330
make characters that you want to cum inside or you want to be. otherwise, create character that represent ideas

I'm just gonna use AI for some code when I'm stuck and pray for the best

>>534575330
Think about the role and silhouette the character has in the game

>>534575236
I've seen games with AI generated arts and musics promoted and supported even by vehemently anti-AI peoples, yet if a dev ever so dares to use a SINGLE AI voice line, he gets blacklisted from everywhere and repressed.

>>534574557
this is true, without nepotism, only faildev is possible

I decided to "sell out" and make porn and I only got 20 dollars. This shit is harder than it looks. Anyone who thinks it's easy money is deluding themselves. Or maybe you have to be terminally online porn addict to actually be good at it.

>>534575330
Find good sources of inspiration.

>>534575939
Did you make good porn or were you expecting people to pay money for a worse fap than free AI generated galleries?

So because I'm STILL blocked from setting updates live, I did do the things you demanded I did as compensation and added real shopkeepers to the new town shops!

It was a nightmare to make them actually offer items on display and in containers, instead of only what they're carrying, but it was worth it!

If you think Skinner Boxes are bad game design you have to rewire human brains so they respond positively to the lack of fun that is your game

>>534587050
bro thinks he's Eric

tfw you realize the side project game idea you just made kina has a quirktown Stardew vibe. This is going to be a hit...

For real though, if I want to make a 3d game, what's the best engine?
Unreal 5 is bloated and slow
Godot is garbage (and slow)
Unity changes their stupid licensing every other month and their editor is spyware
defold doesnt even have proper 3d
WHAT SHOULD I DO? How am I ever going to be able to make my dream game without tools?

>>534578587
Wrong, level design is.

>>534586431
So you can organize them with tags.

>>534587783
Godot isn't slow, just limited in how big you can make your game and it gives you lots of rope to hang yourself with. Just realized today that most of my assets were using double sided materials because that's the default in blender and godot just accepts whatever the fuck you feed into it.

>>534587815
Level design is only hard when you failed at game design. Levels are easy to design when you have interesting game mechanics that you can design your levels around.

>>534587971
why would i tag bocchi images
they are all the same for the purposes of training an image classification model

>>534587815
Making levels that look good is hard...

>>534588098
>Godot isn't slow
Anon, I'm talking 3d, not 2d where the engine performance doesnt even matter.
I'm not trying to make fucking rdr2 here, but I want my games to be at least somewhat pretty and have more than a dozen triangles in each model. Vid related, it's something I cooked in UE for my game long ago. But even in UE it's going to become too slow in poorfags computers. Especially as blueprints are so slow, and I'm too stupid for C++.

godot does have optimization issues in the 3d space as it is new to 3d but you're probably doing something wrong here.

>Road to Vostok
a game not yet released for a reason

>>534590240
>a game not yet released for a reason
it's made by one guy. hmmm I wonder what the reason might be? there's a playable demo, btw and it runs fine.

how big should my sprites be for non pixel art at HD res?
this is roughly the window size with general proportions for the characters and field

>>534589024
>But even in UE it's going to become too slow in poorfags computers

That's because you don't know what the fuck you're doing. Godot is faster than UE at pure rasterized rendering, but it doesn't do anything for you automatically outside of very basic automatic LOD which you still need to tweak by hand.

>>534589024
>not 2d where the engine performance doesnt even matter

You've never tried to run a rpg maker game in 4k.

I'm looking at this game idea I just made? And yeah it looks like an over night Stardew tier hit. I'm serious.

My first game is gonna be undertale inspired
my second game is gonna be hideo kojima inspired

>>534589982
Who's making all the assets and sounds?

>>534590240
>a game not yet released for a reason

You can download it on steam and see exactly what the limits of the engine are.

>>534589024
>Especially as blueprints are so slow
I should also add that blueprints have fuck all to do with performance in a scene like that, CPUs basically haven't changed in a decade, most games are still single threaded and single threaded performance in a poorfag CPU is basically the same as a top of the line CPU. To reiterate, you don't know what the fuck you're doing.

>>534589982
>godot does have optimization issues in the 3d space
The only current "issue" would be that there's no off-the-shelf solution for asset streaming, so if your entire scene doesn't fit into VRAM, you'll have to write your own solution. Only UE has something for this in world partitioning. Unitycucks need to pay for something out of the asset store or also write their own, which most people end up doing anyways.

Ok, playing it right now. Looks alright for a 2007 game.
Locked at 75fps with vsync, but the loading screens are also very 15 years ago-ish

I'm just an amateur game dev who does it as a hobby teheheheh

>>534590707
you're a big fan of bullied nerd losers turned successful bullied nerd losers i see...

>>534591043
>The only current "issue" would be that there's no off-the-shelf solution for asset streaming
No, I don't care about that they clearly have issues with their shader system or something related to it. Turning "glow" on reduces the fps by about 40 fps or more and I'm no expert but I don't think a bloom shader should reduce the fps that much. There's lots of little things in godot just like that.

>>534591271
you're an idiot. go back to unreal.

>Unreal game is slow because the developer turned on lumen, nanite, and filled the game with raw 3d scans
Its the engines fault :3
>Godot game is slow because Godot's rendering pipeline has fundamental issues
Skill issue :3

>>534591438
>Turning "glow" on reduces the fps by about 40 fps
Works on my machine.

>>534591707
You’ve got it.

>>534591742
>Works on my machine.
Don't care. I have another issue. When is godot going to allow proper GLSL shaders without an addon? huh? huh? WHERE ARE THE GLSL SHADERS?

>>534591043
>there's no off-the-shelf solution for asset streaming

This is what is killing me, the VR environment itself takes like 3GB of VRAM just to load and then godot takes a bunch, 6GB of VRAM used and only 1GB of it is texture memory. Most of my time is spent trying to figure out how to reuse as many pieces of a model as possible while still being able to texture it in substance painter which requires unique UV's. My workflow has me building a model twice, once to figure out the shape, then reduce it to tiling pieces and then rebuild it after painting.

>>534591891
Just convert it? It's nearly the same. Godot's shaders need to work on more platforms, including web, so it won't be identical.

>>534591438
It's a game that looks worse than half life 2 episode two, there's barely any lighting going on, everything is muddish, the textures are low res, the models are low poly, the world is small, shadows look shitty (and it was everything at ultra or max settings) and yet it runs only at 120fps on a RTX 3060 which is pretty basic nowadays.
So this......... is the power of Godot? heh.... nice flagship game you got there. The vitrine of Godot's game engine is equivalent to hl2 e2.
>>534591438
>you're an idiot. go back to unreal.
Maybe I should after all

crafting

>>534591945
Studios have entire teams dedicated to this kind of stuff. It's non-trivial work in any engine.

>>534592587
Nice!
What happens if you start melting one ore, remove it at 50% and replace it with a different ore of the same type?
Does the percentage reset as it should or does it act as if the fresh ore is half melted already?

>>534592557
i don't think it matters what engine you use, your expectations are going to fail you 100% and you won't end up making anything.

>>534592557
Yes it looks like shit, it took one man with previous industry experience working non stop for 3-4 years to make that, what do you think you're capable of making?

>>534592587
Nice, don't forget to add shift-click or ctrl-click to send all ore to forge or from forge to inventory. Sometimes right click takes half the stack.

Today I worked more than 4 hours which is more than any day in the past few months but still not enough.

>>534592859
it only smelts one ore right now, haven't added any more, I think I'll add a smelt_time to the item so if you change ore type it will keep progress but update when it stops

Fuck I had a nice idea for a small side project under the shower but I forgot...

>>534592587
this makes me want to play a game with crafting.
it still needs a shit ton of UI though, you're gonna have a lot of fun implementing it.

>AI is going to eat literally every creative job. we're done, time to throw in the towel.
ideas man is thriving!

my game has a snappy hook.

If I say it, this thread would explode. The idea is Stardew Tier.

>>534594147
AI can write better than you, can code better than you, can model better than you, and you think it can't come up with ideas better than you? Go ahead ask it to come up with 10 innovative ideas for games.

>>534594570
Grok said you were a faggot. I didn't believe it at first but now I see why it called you that.

>>534594517
Stardew has ideas?

Maybe I shouldn't have done 256 colors for this skybox. Looks sort of like a Doom skybox. I'm probably going to switch to 16-bit color. I imagine that's what N64 games did.

>>534594667
Impotently lashing out because you can't face the facts. We're done. I thought we had a few years at least, but by the end of the year AI will be generating games on the fly customized to every individual player.

>>534594570
I told chatgpt that "some guy on 4chan taunted me with this. Well, go ahead. Try making 10 innovative ideas for games, and lets see if your ideas are better than mine".
He answered with this.

Look at this chuds.

I can store the XML from a godot dictionary into an XML, and then use the godot tools to convert it into lmu.

And there's no error.

That means I can code my own rpg maker editor.

Yeah, and I can't exactly find what I'm looking for in there
Particularly looking for modular/customizable character models, and most of the asset packs for that are too limited

>>534597581

yeah, tick tock, sisters

Like you I was looking for a cheap MOCAP solution and tried all of those over the years. The downside is that most of them solve a piece of the puzzle. The Quest 3 doesn't have face tracking so only body through estimation of your hands and head. You still have to enable developer mode to be able to access the pose data though and last I tried it out there wasn't some tool that did what I wanted to so you would end up writing a WebVR website or plugin.

Around 100 posts about AI happen on /agdg/ alone EACH DAY.
About 700 posts in the week around your posts.
Nodev crabs using AI? AI-related reposts? All of them around your progress? BOOM you're done.
Also, not only are you competing with schizos blogposting, but the entire backlog of AI attention whores that aggydaggy owns :)

Take all the "thread success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number nodev crabs shitposting about AI (again, 100 posts a day, 3000 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "having a good thread."

Schizos, crabs shitting progress, nodevs shitposting, no feedback, AND to top it all off: AI shitposts increases over time, so even if your post hit in this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple posts.

that's what I'm sayin! to make the game I wanna make I gotta study what makes the game I like fun!

I bought a whole new desk and PC and put them in the empty room in my apartment in the hopes that I'd be more productive with less distractions. The first thing I did was watch porn. Now I've been arguing on 4chan for over 2 hours and I still haven't started my game as I type this.

>>534604032
There is no point in wasting your time making a game no one will play. You are honestly better off just consuming porn because at least you're giving yourself pleasure meaning it is less of a waste of time than making a game.

I honestly don't care if the mods are banning people for teenager-tier "haha xD I spammed your thread with nigger I'm so edgy and schizo" racism. It improves the overall quality of the website.
My reply was literally just pointing out that a twitter post was from an Indian nationalist that find videos of Pakistanis committing crimes/acting creepy to try and convince white people that Pakistanis are worse than Indians, and that white people don't care about the difference between the two and dislike them both equally. Literally the only people who would have taken offense to that are Indians.

If you want to do an alternative history setting where the Axis powers won WWII, please for the love of god have it take place in Europe and not America. It's so fucking annoying how American writers always need to make this shit about us when it makes no logical sense from a historical standpoint. The Nazis only wanted to conquer Europe, they didn't give a shit about the Americas. If it weren't Japan dragging us into the war they would have left us alone. Even with the US entering the war, had the Nazis succeeded in conquering Europe they obviously would have negotiated peace with the US and ended the war. Make an alternative setting where they actually built all that insane shit in Berlin.

I'm definitely on the verge of this. Just 2-3 years ago I wanted a girlfriend so bad it was all I can think about. Now it's a struggle to even come up with reasons how a girlfriend (or just friends in general, I have none of those either) could realistically improve my life. When I think about making friends my brain naturally starts to consider if the effort required to maintain relationships with new people would be worth the satisfaction I'd gain from it.

How many monitors are you using? I'm using one right now, is it worth getting a second screen?

And even if you only use one like me, what is the size and resolution of your monitor? Do you feel that it helps you with game dev, and why??

Me:
>one monitor
>24" 1440p
I do not like how small the font is at 100% scale, and at 125% scale it looks bad. BenQ monitor.

>>534611704
I'm using 97% of a monitor.

Let them develop games

>>534611704
my 15 year old laptop has dimmed the left half of the screen and it's been likke that for the past 2 years

>>534608856
Axis (japan) controlled asia would be pretty interesting. That setting isn't well explored, at least in english fiction.

>>534611704
Depends what kind of work you're doing. If you need reference materials a lot, second screen can be a godsend. Then again it can also be a huge distraction. Personally I use two, main one 27" 1440p and the secondary 27" 1080p .

>>534612148
>thing Japan
:O
In all seriousness it really wouldn't really be that interesting. The Nazis actually had an ideology behind their conquest, i.e. the whole blood and soil thing about making a European empire. The Japanese didn't have any of that, they just wanted more land for the sake of expansion and took advantage of the war to achieve that. A future Axis-ruled Asia wouldn't be different enough from modern day Asian to make it interesting. You'd have Japanese speaking cities on the mainland rather than Korean and Chinese ones. That's about it.

>>534612148
That's why I said "the man in the high castle", while it's not exactly the most realistic axis victory scenario I found it quite interesting, where the world was divided between the third reich and the japanese empire. If I ever get a budget maybe I'll make that game.

Anyone have an idea why the terrain height I'm sampling would be wrong?
>GameObject.Instantiate(cubePrefab, new Vector3(y, terrain.terrainData.GetHeight(y, x), x), Quaternion.identity);
The ones halfway in the ground are right, but the ones over the edges get the wrong height and wind up floating. Do I just need to give up on Unity making any sense and raycast each one?

>>534611704
I've got two and I can't imagine ever going back to just one monitor, especially with unity where I've got the IDE on one screen and unity on the other and every time I change something in the code, unity reloads for several seconds, and if it's in the background it won't pop up until it's finished loading and it really feels like it interrupts the flow

>>534612508

When will nortubel 2 come out?

I remember 10 years ago I made the choice to stick with linux and FOSS tools, because I was too poor to afford propietary shit.

Now I'm too old to change my toolset.
But I am 100% glad I picked a FOSS workflow.

I was lucky I made the right calls by picking Krita, LMMS, Blender and Godot.

I really don't want to put achievements in my game but I hear it's a death sentence with zoomers if you don't have any

>>534615907
Don't feel pressured. I'm a zoomer and I think cheevos are stupid gay shit that serve no purpose other than wanking the player

>>534613340
I post progress and nobody replies. If you want me to yesdev in this thread, you need to provide an incentive.

>>534615827
>LMMS
Do you have any tips or tutorials for LMMS? I've bought a MIDI-Controller and want to get into LMMS, but it's pretty complicated.
I'm also mostly FOSS, aside from Aseprite atm.

>>534611704
Dual 27" 4K, one 60hz and the other 144. One is for reference if needed and doesn't need to be 4K. I use 175% scaling so they're effectively ~2194x1234 which is enough space for me in Blender/Godot

So I've been working on my game for about a year but I have a question that is stumping me - do you guys compose your own music or are you planning on hiring other people to compose it or what? Because I think I can cope or adapt to literally every other element of dev work but I am realizing I am trash at composition. I've only come up with two songs and they are totally mid. I've been putting it off this entire time and using placeholder music for the emotion or style I think I want, but I have to face it eventually. I'm wondering if this is a case where I just need to knuckle down and practice or come to terms with my limitations and seek help. Thanks.

>>534616830
Look up FLStudio tutorials.

LMMS seems to copy a lot of it's workflow and GUI from FLStudio.

>>534615827
>LMMS
This is some of the worst software ever. Ardour is better but it still doesn't compare to bitwig which I know isn't FOSS but damn Ardour is way better than LMMS.

>>534617119
I think LMMS is nice.

Needs better UX, but has all the features to make proper music.

>>534616803
If your progress gets no replies then your game probably isn't interesting. Which one is your progress?

>>534616928
Let me make some music for you, jf you're okay with .wavs exported from pirated fl studio

>>534615907
Just have one cheevo that unlocks at the very start of the game. That way cheevo-autists get their precious 100% and you can focus on mlre important stuff.

>>534616945
>Look up FLStudio tutorials.
Anything specific you can recommend? I've found the manual that many people seem to think of as the only thing you need.
I just want to make vaguely MegaDrive-sounding music. Currently using Bosca Ceoil Blue for simple composing and messing around.

It's just a picture of a skybox, so yeah, not interesting. It's experimental art that won't even make it into the finished game.

>>534617892
It would be easier to comment if there was any context for the skybox in question. Or the style of your game in general. Alone it's just a weird wallpaper.

>>534617639
ok, if you're a complete newbie, will be a bit dificult to explain everything.

My advice is to start first with a music theory fundamentals class.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VvKeiwddPI

You can find dozens of videos explaining music theory.

My advice is to learn and understand the basics, and just try to compose a lot.

https://dn790006.ca.archive.org/0/items/pdfy-_OKTX_2lKsXA_zvN/Counterpoint%2C%20Fux%2C%20by%20Alfred%20Mann.pdf

I learned music composition from Fux book, which is a bit old, but teaches perfectly how to compose music in the baroque style.

My advice is to just try to compose 500 songs of 32 bars, one after another, and focusing on trying to understand how a note of a certain lenght works with another.

My advice is to learn to put chords in the piano roll, and use them as ghost notes to put random notes of random lenghts.

After enough tries, your brain will discover that some notes lenghts go well in the lower register and another lenghts in the upper register.

But music is not that dificult, you only need to compose hundreds of songs.

>>534618119
I'm reluctant to provide much information, so all I can do is vaguepost about things I am working on. Not comfortable with /agdg/ knowing about my game. Maybe I shouldn't post at all.

>>534617596
I mean I'm okay with trying anything and I'm okay with a lot of experimental music choices, I just A)have no confidence in myself to make it and B)dont really know how to seek out anyone who could compose it. I assume twitter or linked in would help me find people. I'd be more than happy to share information with you but I dont want to give you false promises and I dont expect anyone to help me for free - my game still is very rough and outside of sketchbooks and my notes I dont have much "personality" to guide a composer at this state. And I dont want to cause people work that wont go anywhere.

Sorry if this sounds weird or rambly, I havent discussed my game dev work at all with anyone outside my immediate family and close friends. But this is something I feel especially lost on and I dont think I can do it alone.

>>534617712
I am not using AI.

>>534617892
this skybox honestly looks fricking awesome but i would have to see the rest of your game to know if it fits the artstyle/mood you're going for.

>>534618328
>I am not using AI.
enjoy your bad music

>>534618328
listen here cutie pie, you just tell us the name of the game, you post it to this DD and then you share, in the itch.io description, what kind of music you want it to have
if in the meantime you can find a song in the style you're after, that's even better

>>534618253
I'm not a complete newbie when it comes to music, I'm playing the bass and learnt the piano when I went to school, although composing is a completely different monster. I just need to wrap my head around the software.
But still, thanks for the tips and resources, I'll look through them, there's always something to learn.

>>534618392
I'm glad you like the skybox but it doesn't fit the kind of game I'm trying to make. It makes my game look like a Doom clone when I'm aiming for N64. I already fixed the issue and made a skybox with more colors. Thanks for the acknowledgment.

>>534618427

>>I am not using AI.
>enjoy your bad music

>>534618253
Any resources on how to identify instruments, keys, notes, chords etc by ear

>>534619072
Nta, but a lot of practice hearing simple songs and repeating them bar for bar. Melody and chords. Then listen to more complicated songs, solos, etc

>>534618776
Thank you for your help, I am not ready to do that yet but I am making real tangible progress on my game and I will get to that point eventually. I should probably come here more in general since it will motivate me to being productive, early on I really struggled with feeling like an imposter or a fraud since so much of my work in the first half of the year was drawing out character art and maps. And this music stuff has been weighing on me for weeks now. But I really appreciate your words and I'm sorry if I sound annoying. I just dont want to embarrass myself in front of so many game devs who are probably way more knowledgable and far along than I am. Thanks again.

I sometimes dread music theory, but then remember that guys like Tim Follin made absolute bangers in their teens on much more primitive hardware than I have access to. How hard can it be?

I'm making a quirky indie RPG inspired by Earthbound with a goofy cast of memorable characters, unique gameplay, and a Dark Twist.

Basically boils down to sitting down and just making some 16 bar note and listen to every fucking key and chord and note.

You could read college PHD level shit about each chord, but is just better to spend a week listening what happens if you use these 3-4 chords of the circle of fifths.

My advice is just to look up the circle and start composing and listening how every chord combination sounds.

It's not open world, just procgen levels that I haven't closed all the edges of yet. This is my outdoor layout generator; indoor rooms will be simpler.

looks like a bug where you're getting the responses to other people's prompts.
why are you spamming the thread with it though?
is this genZ/A programming? can you literally not program without a chatbot?

NEW GLOBAL RULE: If some one posts progress, you must respond. Positive or negative, you have to say something about it. This is the only way we can keep our collective motivation up after all the mohammedians got banned.

i made a utility system for my AI but it's so unbelievably stupid and complicated that I can't configure it properly and all the enemies behave like fucking retards

>>534634684
Let's see that recipe, anon. Or did you fuck up the execution?

Which would you guys rather play, a sandbox RPG, a narrative RPG, or a lifesim game?

>>534634829
Narrative RPG WITH ENGAGING LEVEL DESIGN

Finally got all the systems working for the game, now comes the part where I need to make the art and menus. After that it's all about fleshing it out and making it engaging, which will probably be the second hardest part after the hardest part, which was actually starting.

>>534634829
Narrative RPG but that's just me.

>>534634824
It's a breakfast burrito with scrambled egg, hash browns, ground beef with onions, and sriracha mayo.
I think the biggest mistake was using ground beef. It should have been ground sausage. I also used too much worcestershire sauce in the beef and it's overpowering everything else. It doesn't go with the sriracha at all.

>>534635251
>mayonaise with worcestershire

Wtf were you thinking? Ask an AI what flavor goes with worcestershire sauce.

>>534635721
>mayonaise with worcestershire
they go together fine you idiot. mayo is mild it can go on nearly anything and be fine.

>>534635251
I would agree with your sausage assessment. Could do chorizo too. Or if you're gonna do ground beef you need to HELLA season that shit.

Wouldn't complain about some cheese or bacon either, unless you're trying to limit bad health decisions

>>534634829
sandbox RPG, but I wouldn't ever make one because the dev time required to make a good one is insane.

>>534634829
monomyth but fun

>>534634829
Lifesim because it's the easiest for an indie to not screw up. 100% they'll mess up sandbox RPG. 50% on narrative RPG.

Gosh he is so cute even when he is posing like a supervillain

>>534636536
Who needs adderall when cobbee exists

hopefully AI wins gamedev, i can blame my failure on AI instead of my crappy game

>>534602946
The engine I use hates facial animations that aren't set up through blend spaces as something unique and untied to animation, so I think it's fitting enough. It's more of the work needed to get the data into blender to convert into animations, since I do really need cheap mocap for the future for movements.

This guy thinks not being on stimulants is "suffering from health issues"

>>534636536
I won’t deny it has its benefits, but now you’re stuck taking it forever if you want to keep those benefits. I had to quit taking adderall and it was a miserable experience. The longer you take it the more dependent your brain becomes on receiving the dosage to do literally anything. I was only on it for 2 years and I felt like a slug for a month straight when I stopped. I didn’t want to shower, clean my room, go to work, or even eat. It was honestly scary how much my body needed the hit of adderall to convince itself to do basic tasks.

I'll be 100% honest.

Adding a 3D viewport to a 2D roguelike, make it seem like something I would pay for.

>>534639115
Yes, but the catch is you can't be the one to decide it's good

>>534639206
To be a certified gamedev, do I have to make my profile pic on twitter my real face? How good does my game have to be for me not to do that.

>>534639449
No I know at least two popular devs who dont do that.

>>534639449
No, you don't, but you also can't use an anime girl

I wanna make a game that's cute

>>534639589
I mean you can if you want a niche of 200 tranny gooners who likely don't have money for anything other than their bathtub estrogen.

>>534639115
Only nodevs are antagonistic assholes because they're angry and insecure at their inadequacy
Yesdevs who make something good have no need to be so because they're content and at peace with what they're making/made

>>534640646

>>534641191
>Failed devs like me are bitter and antagonistic because we only made garbage and are angry that we will never make anything good.
So why not just kill yourself or fuck off somewhere else? Personally I'd feel like a huge loser faggot if I admitted that I do this but I guess you're simply different

Was browsing Steam to see what the popular games in my target genre are like and this made me kek

>>534641609
Because I have discovered a new purpose to warn newcomers not to waste their time. It is better to be a nodev than to be a yesdev.

>>534641191
love your garbage, be proud of it, your game may not make a lot of sales, but if you get even one good review, then you have done your job. my current game has not sold a lot of copies, but all the reviews are good and that is what matters.

>>534642072
This is cope. If a game fails to get a lot of sales, it is a bad game by definition.

>>534641887
I guess that's noble, <130 IQ retards shouldn't be in this space. Thank you for your service

>>534642072
Sure thing, Cris.

>>534642249
Nah man, gotta disagree, some of my favorite games I liked have been delisted on steam like the tower defense game hipster attack or lack luster sales like empire tv. Not every indie is gonna be a undertale.

>>534642249
elaborate. a bad fit for the market != a bad game in my view.

>>534642249
You are a slave to capitalism. NTA but a good creation is what matters. Long after you are dead that will be your impact on and your contribution to humanity, not how much money you had in your bank account.

>>534642249
many extremely successful devs admit a large part of their success came down to luck

>>534642402
>lack luster sales like empire tv
>Reviews: 879
>Gross revenue (base game): $432.9k ($309.2k - $556.6k)
Most failedevs would kill for that.

lol not cris I am a nobody pretty much, I pop up here every couple years then forget these threads are a thing before coming back, been around since steam green light, my first game was green lit

>>534642526
Luck maybe be the difference between extreme success 100k+ review and regular success 10k+ reviews. Luck is not the difference between a <10 review and a 1k+ review game.

which agdg made this game

>>534642321
The cutoff has to be higher than that. I have 145 IQ and my game sold like 10 copies. My guess is that only people with above 160 should be making games.

>>534642835
me

>>534642913
It doesn't take a genius to make a game. Midwits have it the hardest (you)

>>534642913
idiots have been making games for ages and finding success I mean look at most of the industry
high IQ does not guarantee a hit game whatsoever, anyone with decent IQ should be able to logically parse that out

>>534642805
It's all about luck. It's no different than songs that become hits and those that don't. Quality has little to do with it.

Do cute and quirky otaku russian girls find indie game developers attractive?

>>534642913
145IQ using online tests is more like 105 irl

>>534643547

This is the problem with the PBR substance rabbithole, the level of detail requires unique materials for everything so when you try to re-use a bit from something else it doesn't fit.

Your definition of "good" is "aligns with your own personal preference".

anons, does anyone know a good tutorial on creating a KOTOR/Dragon Age:Origins combat system? The engine doesn't matter for now, Whichever engine is best to simulate that shit is the one I'm gonna pick in the end. I think most parts I could easily simulate/recreate, from team movement to quests or crafting etc. watching indian people's tutorials, but the "choose spell, switch between characters, paise game" thing origins and KOTOR has is not something I saw anyone making a guide on.

>>534649041
and they all look bad

I figure I'd ask here over /ic/ since you'd have more experience with pixel art
In this instance (the EBA/ Ouendan series), is this full-res art being downsized to DS-screen-resolution and then given a heavy aliased outline?
I want to emulate the style for a thing and I'm trying to work as accurately as possible

i love everyone of you

>>534650021
A real crab also does not act out of malevolence.
Rather than malevolence, incompetence is a much more common source of evil.

>>534650343
You too

>>534649340
yes. higher res and downsized. pixel art doesn't lend itself to making the smooth inner lines you see on the characters faces etc.

>>534651140
I think the problem is like any other term it eventually starts being misused and misclassified, a real crab says things that aren't useful at all like "This game looks like shit" or just reply "flop"
A hugcrab says "You're gmi" without providing any reason why. Neither one gives an explanation.
Not everyone that replies "nice" to progress is a hugcrab either, it just indicates there's nothing interesting or of note in the progress so all you can say is "nice" because progress is nice.
The best thing we can do is give completely constructive feedback, "looks transcoded" is not very constructive but it's getting there. Giving an adjective or two is still better than none. whatever you know what I mean.

Shut up about crabs, those little shits end up on my plate at the end of the day.

Chuddies...

Good evening bros. I hate women. I think it's finally time to have a relaxing dev sesh. No need for any stressful work, just the good parts.

>>534653643
What's wrong with vibe coding tough, it's the logical end to game engines.

>>534652605
cris has got to be 40+ by now, no?

Since my new character models have a lot of new features compared to my old ones:
>new character models with separate heads and bodies that can be dynamically assembled onto a common skeleton during runtime to allow for any character/class combination
>Custom shader that allows me to apply a color palette to any generic class outfit so characters have a consistent look regardless of what class they're in
>animation layering to handle held equipment instead of having it all on one layer with all weapons just having their own full body animations
I can't simply plug my new models into my game the way I had my old ones, there's a lot of additional code to get them fully functional. I have the beginning of the process started, they can be assembled & deployed to the map during runtime with the correct models, color palette, equipment, and playing the correct animations for the equipment.
I'm also taking this as an opportunity to do a big refactor of my code related to the units themselves because a lot of it is really old and has gone through a bunch of jank half-revisions and a lot of disparate functionality is consolidated into one class so as I'm re-implementing old systems to work with the new character's I'm also splitting up my main "Unit" class into a bunch of more manageable classes with clearer roles/responsibilities.
I'm also fixing some of my Data structures that were just bad. For example, before I wasn't making a very clear distinction between a Unit's Immutable "Base Stats" that they will always have when first recruited and their "Current stats" after they've been deployed as an actual character on the map, which had caused some debugging headaches in the past.
One of the fruits of this is the "Debug Roster" I show off in this webm. It allows me to easily configure the stats, class, inventory, etc. of a roster of units I can use when testing levels from the editor. I had a system for this before but it was way more jank.

Not really. You just gotta figure out something you wanna make, pick a part of it to start with, and look shit up as you go. Your results will always fall short of what you imagined. Your ability to persevere with the process in spite of that is what determines if you're a yesdev or not.

>there's totally a system to it, it's not about luck at all. you need to know which store to go to at what time of day. it's easy if you're IQ.

>>534653468
Man fuck you

>>534659216
zoomers are all a little fruity

Reddit and its mods are so fucking gay.
>see indie game trailer post, "wishlist now"
>click the post, expect link to steam store page
>no link anywhere, just the trailer and text and "wishlist now!"
I bet this is because the mods and the faggots will scold you if you post an actual link, god forbid a fucking link. It's so fucking deranged, these people are so fucking retarded I cannot believe it.

>>534659894
To add to this: I bet the dev is waiting for someone to ask for a link. Because that's the only accepted way to link your store page, if someone asks for it.

>>534659216
It's legendary-tier equipment that grants +15 CHA, +50 LUK, and +50% chance to make enviously nodevs and flopdevs seethe.

>>534658321
this is the most hilarious thing. I had a friend do game dev for two years. they learned maya and unreal or some shit. after he was done he got a job in the industry as a QA person. the rest of his class couldn't find jobs. imagine going into debt to make minimum wage trying to run into every possible object on the map to check collision. he was hyped though. his name was in the credits of an AAA game.

Now my bitch, you are gonna have to play my game now or die.

>>534659975
Just make an alt account and ask for your link yourself ezpz

Minimap, no minimap, or optional item to display it ?

Sisters, is this (Un)real?

I use AI voice acting. Is that alright with you guys?

>>534659980
Don't you feel like you're always fighting /agdg/ when you have to defend your favorite ecelebs? Or does HIV remove any semblance of self awareness?

>>534661321
homosexuality is a complete corruption of mind, body, and soul

>>534661083

Good morning.

>you cannot point out a flaw in a popular game...because you JUST CAN'T OKAY?
Halo effect brainwashes people. It's scary.

Everybody here is making tranny games. What's up with that?

>>534661321
I wouldn't even know about these "ecelebs" if it wasn't for /agdg/. Maybe one day you'll grow out of flying into an envious rage at the sight of anyone else's success.

>>534660861
no minimap, just have little goblins run away from you in the direction of your quest

works on my machine from 10 years ago. looks good too. I'm more of an art guy though, not a pixel peeper. I don't care if the TXAA and fribbled stability matrices are not perfect. that said, I like this guy putting epic on blast, if your 5090 can't give you perfect visuals in UE5 something is wrong.

>>534662207
There are 400 games that make it every year, you're seeing 0.1% of those getting criticized and in your homosexual brainrotted mind you think it's jealousy?

>>534662208
it's not a fantasy game and having a minimap/rader makes a lot of sense, but I'm realizing many of my reference games had it as an optional radar item, which I think would be cool, but then idk what to do with the UI in the top right corner

>>534662616
>nodevs and flopdevs only fly into a jealous rage over 0.4 games per year

>>534662616
Brother it is useless to continue this argument, nobody was even being criticized and no jealousy was seen, he is simply a contrarian.

Man, ChatGPT5 is hallucinating code to unprecedented levels. I don't know what those guys are doing but each version is getting worse, not better. Or I assume they're making it better in some other aspect and the way I was using it for code so far has to suffer because of it, dunno.

I grew out of video games.

>spent the past 2 hours trying to code a thing in
>should be simple
>apparently its not
owch :(

I'm so tired. But I have to continue. Because I did nothing today. How can I go to bed having done nothing.

how i feel naming my game engine JiraiLib

Why is every game a clone but there's no clones of games I want to play? truth.FACT

>>534666220
what do you want to play?

>have state of the art ray tracing, lumen, nanite and other gimmicks
>what they want to see
>Battlefield 6, Callisto Protocol, GTAVI, Cybercringe, etc
>what I want to see
>you're a dog and your job is to absolutely demolish the home in an ultra realistic destruction, dirt smear, spilled liquid, fabric and clutter simulation

>>534664973
me too. sometimes I'm pulled back in. it's getting rarer though.

>>534666553
I only play old video games.

>>534666451

>>534666614
My game will be 8 or 9 years old by the time I finish it, hope you like it

>>534666623
>morrowind 2
>starbound 2
>xcom 3
Make them yourself.
>guild wars 1 2
You can still play them unless they killed the servers.
>starfield but good
That's just Morrowind in space.

>>534666774
I want a new game that is a sequel to guild wars 1, not that slop they called guild wars 2

>>534666885
I want Mirror's Edge but you're at an orgy.

>>534666623

literally all wrong

reminder that while you're wondering whether to pay for chatGPT Plus or hire someone on Fiverr, Star Citizen got half a billion dollars before it even got a release date

advanced crafting

>>534667357
aahhhhh how do I do anything in godot

>>534667218
literally all right, and you can take that to the bank.

My game's idea seriously sucks ass, but I'm too far into it now. I can't back out. I just have to push through to release.

>>534667536
Same. I wish games didn't take so long to make. Some concepts need entire months of groundwork just to test properly and by that time I'd feel like a dumbass if I just threw everything in the trash and didn't commit to it.
