You will never get an explanation out of one of these drones. Asmongold/[insert other eceleb] said it was bad, so it's bad. End of story.
At most you might get one of them to say it's bad because its "slop", or it's bad because it's "reddit", but you will never see them elaborate upon the opinions which were spoonfed to them by either a video essay or streamer clip. That takes critical thinking.

>>534986131
Depends on how you see it. Under capitalism, obviously you want individuals to produce as much as possible so any time not spent producing is wasted time. That's not how it is though. People want their time to be used for what they choose to use it on. They want to have a sunk cost to feel like their time meant something. That is the beauty of video games and why video games must free the people by giving them activities to spend time on for that makes a fulfilling life.

>>534986823
That is not completely true. Consumption is also needed as an outlet for all that production, otherwise you get overproduction crashing the market, such as with the video game market. We need way fewer developers and way more gamers. Pretty much everyone in this thread needs to stop trying to make games and go buy games instead.

Remember to take regular breaks. Masturbation is not a break

I need a whitepill bros. Can anyone give me an example of a 2D point and click or point and click adjacent game that did fairly well (above 1,000 Steam reviews) that released within the last 2-3 years? Because that’s all I think I’m capable of making and I’m questioning if there’s even an audience for those games anymore.

>>534987552
>Remember to take regular breaks. Masturbation is not a break
You're true. If anything, programming is my break from jerking off

>>534987564
There's an audience for good games. That type of game will depend on you being an excellent writer if you want to make it bigly, since I imagine itch is filled with point and click shit

I just spent 2 days in the Idea Guy Brahmin Hyperbaric Chamber.

Now it is time to code, my dear friends.
Now it is time to end the world.

Identifying areas ripe for exploitation might be the only thing Indians are good at (ex. targeting tech illiterate boomers with scams pretending to by Microsoft), so it’s not really a surprise. The Twitter algorithm promotes right-wing content more than it does left-wing content, both by showing it to actual right wingers and by showing it to terminally online left wingers who get mad at it. Indians, to whom the pennies earned through Twitter monetization are actually valuable, have realized there’s a market for churning out chudslop about EVROPA and the fall of the west.

>>534989760
That is because your not making a game but a set piece that has no moving animations, parts, gameplay or anything that matters.

When you make a set piece it doesn't matter, when you make a video game it most certainly does, especially when things are moving and how many entities you have on the field.

This kind of retarded thinking is so common it's sad.

Hey guys I'm tired of waiting for a good VTM game and I want to give a try to game dev, I don't know how to model or do art or code.
But I want to make a sandbox rpg with no 3d modeling or anything like that, what do you guys recommend for a more visual novel style.

I'm too old to tell you about young German girls and their likes in games. I played stuff like Baldur's Gate, Wing Commander, System Shock and Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts adventures in my youth, but back then, not many girls played games at all. You're on your own in this.

>>534990508
Hard to say. You always have the doomsayers, the realists, and the "refugees welcome, green energy all the way" retards everywhere. I moved from the city to a more rural area this year to "flee" the ever growing flood of browns and blacks in the cities. So, last year I would have said Germany's going downhill fast, this year I'd say it might not be so bad. Still, I'm monitoring the developments closely. I'd say you can come and spend a long time here, but depending on what you want to achieve you might be better off looking for a small town with a good way to reach a large city in ~30 minutes. It's still a beautiful country, but many things are uncertain.

Anon, the thing about the sandwich example actually makes sense because it’s a meaningless prop with no need for so many polygons. This is grasping for straws.

Time to make an explosion animation. Maybe I will use real nuclear blasts as reference.

>>534993441
This reminds me a bit of the jump from Virtua Fighter to Virtua Fighter 2, when they suddenly used the same number of polygons for the face in 2 that they used for the complete model in 1.

What is the threshold resolution between a game having "pixel art" and "binary tool art"

>>534993978
> higher graphical fidelity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=98awrqHsRdI

>>534994265
if you use the same tools as pixel art at a high resolution it becomes "oekaki" and not pixel art. i don't know where the cutoff for resolution and number of colors ends either.

>>534993978
2k-5k makes sense, this is why the faces look uncanny as fuck.

>>534994268
There's no contradiction
Fallout 4 wasn't very good looking for a AAA 2015 game
2020s games look as bad or sometimes even worse but use more polys because the devs don't even care about optimization anymore because they think upscaling will just fix everything

>>534993978
>a game produced almost a decade later has higher graphical fidelity
except it doesn't. it's literally the old bait meme about increasing polycount not helping, except here it's true. they basically subdivided the same fidelity for ZERO visual gain. it does not look better in any way.

>>534993978
That many vertices makes it harder to make the face move, which is probably why it looks so lifeless and uncanny. It looks like they hired a sculpter.

>>534994268
I liked the look of Fallout 4, desu. I mean, it was obvious they put a lot of effort into Piper and Garvey, but still, I think some faces were really fitting for their characters. MacCready and Curie come to mind.

You’re all right, it does look uncanny, but that isn’t the point of the comparison. The comparison is purely “more polygons = bad” because some retard saw the sandwich post and wanted their own 4chan upvotes. If you want to show how uncanny the Starfield characters look, show them actually textured and in game next to Fallout characters. Then the clear decrease in quality would be shown. But this is just a lazy ragebait image so they didn’t do that.

why did you quote my post? I didn't say "uncanny", I said the added triangles are bad because they are unnecessary. they do not increase the perceived fidelity of the model whatsoever. in real gameplay absolutely nobody notices the triangles on the left model so ever going beyond that triangle count is simply a mistake. you're creating a bunch of quad overdraw for nothing.

>>534999883
No, you don't get it. It's not like a regular gacha game with a linear story and drawing meta characters. The game is all about replaying but with meta-progression and there's RNG involved with each run meaning it's exciting to gamble to gain certain things because it increases your win chance down the line.

- Synchronization issues
- Connection handling
- Anti-cheat measures

It doesn't seem like the code is the problem.
If I had to guess I'd say the issue might be the animation. Sometimes when an asset wasn't properly imported it'll work in the engine but not in the export.
It's happened to me before with some sprites.

Randomly generated text based sandbox rpg of Vampire the Masquerade where you can either play on a real city or generate a random one, with clans, hierarchy, crime syndicate, etc. also chosen/customized/randomized by the player.
The gameplay loop would be surviving and working in the city every night with random events and relationships fluctuating between people and factions.

>>535005097
just make it 3D.

>>535005097
when you say 'text based' it seems like a fear reflex. Just make it 3D. Good idea btw. Dense rather than wide as an ocean but shallow as a puddle.

But this fear that makes you say 'text' , I feel is a reflex. Which will be overcome by just diving into 3D dev.

>>535005195
>NOOOOOOOOOOO IS THAT.... A THIRD DIRECTION?!?!?!??!?! MY TEENY EENY WITTLE BWAIN CANT HANDLE THAT MANY DIRECTIONS NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>535005407
This but unironically.

>>535005540
this is going to get viral in 10 years

>>535005097
Never played VtM. Can you explain what the game is about? What’s the end goal?

>>535005324
As a person who plays tabletop RPG's which is why I want to make something Vampire related that can kinda translate the experience there is a lot that you can achieve with just text and letting people imagine things in their head, you leave more room to the players to interpret scenes in the ways they want. At most I would try to make it be like Rimworld and or Dwarf Fortress with 2D sprites.
But the reality is that if I did embark in a project like this my focus would be on narrative rather than looks, at least until I feel the game is playable in the way I expect it to be.

>>535006279
VtM the Tabletop is a game about personal horror and your characters descent into monsters over time after becoming slowly detached to society due to their condition.
The objective is to tell stories through the characters and their choices and their intent to mantain their human nature or just slowly slip further into a Vampire.
You are meant to enjoy the temptation of becoming a Vampire and higher power encourages lower humanity (Humanity is one of paths Vampires can choose so they don't become mindless beasts to put things short)
It's a mind eye theater game unlike D&D so there are no board pieces for combat or stuff like that, just dice and imagination.

>>535006012
Unironically would love to help if true.

>>535003293

Debug.Log("Frame: " + Time.frameCount);
Debug.Log("Time: " + Time.time);
Debug.Log("groundedPlayer = " + groundedPlayer);
Debug.Log("playerSpeed = " + playerSpeed);

>>535005324
Also I forgot to mention you can make parallels on Sandbox quality to Graphic quality and some of the best sandbox games are simplistic graphically speaking, see Daggerfall vs Skyrim for example.
You could obviously do more now in terms of sprite work and world gen performance and what not, but being simplistic in nature leaves more space to work on the things that matter which is generating quests and dungeons in a massive world that requires things like spending days to travel.
If you ever played something like VtM night road by choice of games that's what I aim for but free form and not having a dedicated storyline, that would be the players job to fill just like other sandbox games.

There is no nice way to handle stealth with billboarded sprites is there? Stealth makes it important to be able to show which way enemies are looking but I dont see how you can do that nicely, short of drawing the sprite at multiple angles, but why even billboard at that point

Do gamers still think kusoges have soul or is my game fucked?

>>535010079
Because billboard is the most budget friendly method of 3D.

>>535010759
Kusoge SOVL comes from the high-effort low-skill results of locking up an army of Japanese wageslaves and forcing them to make shitty art under incompetent direction. Your game is not high-effort if it even exists, which I doubt it does.

>>535001343

Godot uses an interpreted language, even when you 'build' it, it's still reading and running the scripts in real time, there's no difference between the editor and building it because both of them are fake.

Decide I wanted animated portraits for the merchants/select enemies so I did a test with one of my models I made for my other game, recorded every other frame as an image, stitched them together in an atlas, and put it in. Probably will just only have an idle animation, and a talking animation. Got a bunch of other character models and animation from abandoned games I've done so I already have all the models to work with. Just gotta add a few morph targets for mouth movement, and that's it.

Bright colors is why children and autistic people are drawn to certain character designs such as in sonic, my little pony, and indeed anime. The fact that you match the socks of all things perfectly to the hair is autistic, but the tie being a different shade of red will enrage the autists.

Japan hates foreigners, otaku culture and games, it's a conservative xenophobic society with an almost caste like social structure based on age and experience, you will never fit in Japan because just you like tranime. This is the equivalent of a black guy going to a blonde white girl and start talking about BBC, you will fail like all the others.
If you go outside the tourist traps you won't even get serviced unless you find an international hotel or accept the constant humiliations, hell a guy in tourist spots refused to serve israeli tourists and there is nothing they could do about it, they don't like you stay in your country instead of bothering a small island.

Also if you walk back the way you came after 2 minutes you won't pass that same house again, persistence works for as long as it takes to record a video for xitter, and impress retards, and that's while pumping an entire datacenter full of resources into it.

At the end he starts walking towards a factory on the hill, it looks not much further away than the hut, and you can see that from the parallax, so it ends up appearing tiny, so they cut the video there because if he just walks over to that factory in 2 mins and its tiny, the illusion will be broken.

You're being shown a card trick and falling for it like the monkey you are.

This is because without AI you have literally zero skills. And if you'd ever made anything worth showing you'd post your game but you won't.
>troons have never been and will never be useful nice try xister
The average reading comprehension of an AI retard is so low he thinks this post is about praising troons. You don't even have a brain to rot.
>also genie will just keep improving you said the same thing for genie 2 and how useless it was and now look at it, they just need to find a chunking system for world memory, the data is there we just need efficiency
Its like you're pre-programmed to regurgitate the same talking points. Just 2 more weeks then it'll actually work! Just need a chunking system bro! All we need is efficiency! Claude rewrite genie3 so it does the same thing but cut the compute cost by three orders of magnitude and make no mistakes and if you don't do it your entire family will die

It's an artsy game which does well on twitter, but it's overpriced and there's no gameplay, so it gets lots of wishlist, but no sales. Most of those wishlists are probably waiting for a -90% off sale.

The capsule image isn't bad and the write up is pretty crisp but the game images and videos look brutal.
I understand your publisher told you it would be a million dollars to make unit art but I can't imagine anyone looking at the game images as they are and thinking it's worth money.
Hate to give you the cold hard crab pinchers but you really should take a moment and reconsider releasing in this state. There must be some other way to deliver the visuals, many of the sprites don't seem to share the same perspective even.
It looks like a good 2d RTS game engine you've made, would like to get my hands on it, but as a commercial game product I donno man.
You could pivot and sell this as a modular 2d RTS engine for the droves of autists who love to dream how they would save the genre and then you can get away with a 40+ USD pricetag and keep the asset soup.

rob schnider school of game design

hypercoven dev refuses to talk about the fact he has 200 wishlists which equates to about 10 sales at best, I wonder why?

>>535055057
Yeah I was leaning towards Orcs as the natural chaotic evil, they're ubiquitous and everyone recognizes them as black people in space.
Elf would be the opposite of this, being uppity racist space elves. Thing is, elves are always a bit gay and feminine. If you took all these traits and removed the homo elements of an elf you just have Humans.
Dwarves though, I don't know. They appeal to redditors.

>>535055815

I was getting 0-1 wishlist additions a day for the longest time, makes you think it’s all whatever. Recently it’s picked up and now I’m getting perhaps 5 a day? Maybe only due to being listed under "Coming Soon."
I talked to a marketing guy and he said "oh, you’re even getting some impressions! you could easily make 20 wishlist/day with those numbers." At such a rate, accumulating wishlists would definitely be more interesting. The game could be launching to a few thousand, I guess.
But it’s too late now, the release date is locked in. I don’t really mind much, making game is ultimately more interesting than playing the Steam meta.

>>535055584
Thanks. Monetizing the engine is an interesting idea, though I personally would recommend everyone to just make a Sc2 custom map if they wanna invent some RTS gameplay. The whole point of my engine is that the unit pathing and behaviour is "old school" (dumb). I doubt many people care about that. (Day[9] made a video on the topic 10 years ago at least...)

Can't imagine making some stupid toy like a shooter or racer or platformer that can only provide the same graphical-kinetic experience that already exists in a million other forms.

Yeah I think the dumb pathing is the appeal. When an aspiring dev wants to make an RTS, the first thing they see on line is to never go 2d, always go 3d, always use new slop, and sure enough all the RTS you see have precise pathing and unit blobs and MBS.

The elf concept is based on real folk knowledge of neurodivergent and LGBTQ people in premodern Europe.
There was an Old English poem about how you had to watch out for the groups of elf trannies who would move around the countryside, sleep with women which would produce defective offspring (just like successful autistic people like elon musk do today with their severely autistic kids), and sleep with men which would spread disease.

You don't need that big of a map, and it doesn't have to be 3D or computationally/artistically expensive. Starting out in Caves of Qud gave me that same sense of wonder and desire to explore that I got from fallout and skyrim, because the world is so well-crafted. For some reason very few people seem to be trying to replicate that immersive quality.

Will how my first game is/did affect how people see my newest game?
First game isn't out yet, it's a short horror game and I think it's great but more niche an idea than other games, and it'll be $1.50.
Steam page has been up for 2 weeks but with only 100 wishlists.

I feel like it would be great on itch.io but I already have my steam page up and I'm concerned about lack of visibility on itch since it's not going to be free.

The best marketing is the game itself, so I want to send keys to streamers to play it and I believe some will, but I either have to send pre-release keys or wait until the game is out first.
Even if it gets some popularity later on steam's algorithms wouldn't push it as it would if it was popular right at the start

>>535056082

Normal games get most of their promotion from outside of steam just by existing.

A normal games can convert a spot on New and Trending into at least as many sales as it has wishlists. Monvo could have avoided botting its wishlists and it might have broken even. Now it's an embarassment

You gotta prepare for the worst. Are you fucked if your wishlist conversion is 1%? Probably. Are you still fucked if it's 10%? Maybe not. At 5k that would be 500 sales which is a lot for a turdworlder which anon statistically speaking is. Of course launch price also factors into this. 500 sales at $10 when you add regional pricing you maybe end up with 1k. Is that a flop for you? If you live in the west yeah that's a flop. That was a waste of time.

Every year that AI has been popular, I have gained significantly more success than the previous year, despite being 100% no-AI.
How're you holding on?

E=mc2 was a team effort too rough, a century spanning one in fact. Did your jewish state media not tell you this?

>at the end of the day it's basically the same factors.
Nah. Among the most marketable genres require a team to make, i.e. rpgs. Among a few.
Sure they flop, but at least they got an even playfield.
Making an rpg for example as a solo dev, an open world rpg, is a death sentence. And it will take like what? More than a decade for a solo dev?

Make games where your audience is predominantly english speakers and you will get the most money. Dopamineslop is the exact opposite because you're appealing to the entire third world and they don't play games and don't talk about games and no one casual game has ever spread through word of mouth

No, it came out of the brilliant mind of a Jewish genius, try harder, chud.

Because I don't want success on Steam. I want to success on my own platform instead of paying rent to Valve.

>E=mc2
what is E and why does it equal MineCraft 2?

You can make an RPG as a solodev. Fear and Hunger exists. LISA exists. Undertale exists.
And all of them sold gangbusters.
Your definition of RPG is probably too specific. Like an Elder Scrolls-like or something.

I'm winning, bigly. $200 a month for a coding assistant is insane value, I had given up on making a switch version before AI.

I will not be buying or playing your game then, simple as. You WILL help pay for Gabens yachts or you WILL fail.

>predominantly english speakers and you will get the most money
True...

Today's going to big, I can feel it, bros. Make lots of progress.
