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?
>>534578587Wrong, level design is.
>>534586431So you can organize them with tags.
>>534587783Godot 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.
>>534587815Level 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.
>>534587971why would i tag bocchi images
they are all the same for the purposes of training an image classification model
>>534587815Making levels that look good is hard...
>>534588098>Godot isn't slowAnon, 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++.

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 computersThat'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 matterYou'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
>>534589982Who's making all the assets and sounds?
>>534590240>a game not yet released for a reasonYou can download it on steam and see exactly what the limits of the engine are.
>>534589024>Especially as blueprints are so slowI 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 spaceThe 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.

>>534590304>>534589982>>534590915Ok, 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
>>534590915I'm just an amateur game dev who does it as a hobby teheheheh

>>534591043>The only current "issue" would be that there's no off-the-shelf solution for asset streamingNo, 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.
>>534591271you'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 fpsWorks on my machine.
>>534591707You’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 streamingThis 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.
>>534591891Just convert it? It's nearly the same. Godot's shaders need to work on more platforms, including web, so it won't be identical.
>>534591438It'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

Does the percentage reset as it should or does it act as if the fresh ore is half melted already?
>>534592557i 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.
>>534592557Yes 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?

My game has been 10 years in the making. For that time investment I deserve to sell at least two copies for each day since the beginning of this period during which I have received no compensation for my works
If you think about it that comes up to 7300 copies with 6-10 dollars earned net per copy it makes 58000 dollars. That's not that much but it's all the difference in the world. I can say with full confidence I deserve to have that

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.

>at a certain point your brain just goes full hermit mode and you convince yourself you don't need it any moreI'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.

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.
>>534611704I'm using 97% of a monitor.
>>534611704my 15 year old laptop has dimmed the left half of the screen and it's been likke that for the past 2 years
>>534608856Axis (japan) controlled asia would be pretty interesting. That setting isn't well explored, at least in english fiction.
>>534611704Depends 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.
>>534612148That'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?
>>534611704I'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

>>534614384When 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
>>534615907Don't feel pressured. I'm a zoomer and I think cheevos are stupid gay shit that serve no purpose other than wanking the player
>>534613340I post progress and nobody replies. If you want me to yesdev in this thread, you need to provide an incentive.
>>534615827>LMMSDo 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.
>>534611704Dual 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.
>>534616830Look up FLStudio tutorials.
LMMS seems to copy a lot of it's workflow and GUI from FLStudio.
>>534615827>LMMSThis 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.
>>534617119I think LMMS is nice.
Needs better UX, but has all the features to make proper music.
>>534616803If your progress gets no replies then your game probably isn't interesting. Which one is your progress?
>>534616928Let me make some music for you, jf you're okay with .wavs exported from pirated fl studio
>>534615907Just 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.

>>534594878>>534617331It'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.
>>534617892It 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.
>>534617639ok, 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.
>>534618119I'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.
>>534617596I 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.
>>534617712I am not using AI.
>>534617892this 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
>>534618328listen 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
>>534618253I'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.
>>534618392I'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.
>>534618427nta but
>>I am not using AI.>enjoy your bad musicquality b8 m8
>>534618253Any resources on how to identify instruments, keys, notes, chords etc by ear
>>534619072Nta, 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
>>534618776Thank 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?

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

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
>>534634684Let'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?
>>534634829Narrative 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.
>>534634829Narrative RPG but that's just me.
>>534634824It'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 worcestershireWtf were you thinking? Ask an AI what flavor goes with worcestershire sauce.
>>534635721>mayonaise with worcestershirethey go together fine you idiot. mayo is mild it can go on nearly anything and be fine.
>>534635251I 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
>>534634829sandbox RPG, but I wouldn't ever make one because the dev time required to make a good one is insane.
>>534634829monomyth but fun
>>534634829Lifesim because it's the easiest for an indie to not screw up. 100% they'll mess up sandbox RPG. 50% on narrative RPG.

>>534636536I 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.

>>534641191love 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.

>>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
>>534642526Luck 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.

Rather than malevolence, incompetence is a much more common source of evil.
>>534649340yes. higher res and downsized. pixel art doesn't lend itself to making the smooth inner lines you see on the characters faces etc.
>>534651140I 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.

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.

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.

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.
>>534667536Same. 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.
I now have to refactor and restructure a file that is over 1000 lines, god why did it have to be me, why do you give me the toughest battles... I'm only the weakest boccher I should be doing the low level dungeons not the lv.99 destroyer of worlds..

>>534671156If you're doing it purely for yourself, then you don't need to waste thousand of hours to turn your idea into a software application. Just simulate playing the game in your mind. The main reason you are putting effort into turning your idea into software is so that other people can also experience your idea.
>>534670940>It means that you have no clue what people actually want to play,I know how people look like. Doesn't mean I can draw a human face perfectly even when staring at it.

Your job is to communicate your intention and guide them through the experience you want them to have. Empathy is one of the most important skills for any creative.

>>534672954>Empathy is one of the most important skills for any creative.Not really. Expressing yourself comes first. Keep in mind you have no idea who your audience even is until you have finished your prototype (and showed it to people) and even the prototype is mostly shaped by your decisions and vision. Making a game for a ghost audience that you think might come to your game is the worst shit you can do to yourself.

>>534675169>you have no idea who your audience even isYou should. If you don't, then you're not making a game that people want to play. There is a tremendous amount of unmet demand and underserved audiences in the gaming world. Pick one and make a game for them.
One of the biggest mistakes that I see amateur gamedevs make is thinking that they can promote their way into getting people to play their game. That simply isn't true. There are plenty of games that people already want to play, and if you make one of those, all you need to do is let people know about your game and they will come and play. If they don't already want to play your game, then you need to spend a lot more time, effort, and money into convincing them that they do. That is something only bigger studios and publishers have the resources to do. That requires millions upon millions of dollars of advertisement. Smaller indies typically do not and need to work to meet existing demand, rather than trying to generate their own demand.
