>>535085834
are you capable of something smaller though

>>535085402
The sooner all the nodevs learn that they aren't cut out for game dev the better. Gamedev isn't for everyone. It isn't going to save you from poverty. You're not going to make the next big viral game. If you want money go find a job.

You need a spine and ever burning passion to succeed in gamedev.

>>535085834
Then you can fuck off. You don't need to be here.

Got the mesh deformation system (mostly) up and running. The thing I thought would take days to figure out turned out to be silly simple.

Now onto the projectile system.

well I guess I'm a vibe coder now. my game works the way I want it, though.

test

if Thomas Brush is so prominent as a gamedev podcaster (his words, not mine), and is the self-proclaimed voice of gamedev, then how come he hasn't interviewed my boy Eric Barone yet?
Is it because Eric doesn't push courses, he doesn't whine on youtube about selling his house, and he doesn't spam instagram with pictures of his family??

In short, is Thomas Brush afraid of my hero's aura? As Eric's official sidekick, I'm used to his aura. But a normie like Tommy Bee (thomas brush) definitely couldn't handle the cool factor of 10 that Eric is dishing out.

I think it would be a good idea for Tommy Bee to ease into the coolness factor by featuring me on his show. Then I can do some finagling and mingling with my hero (Eric Barone), and maybe get the two to link up, but only after Tommy has built up a tolerance to the WOW! factor that we're putting out.

Him and Azur are doing a collab. Their dev team name will be Team Azur (which is Osur and Azur combined)

decided to give gamedev a second try, the first one lasted for less than a week...... made some trees that I like!

>>535089639
nice work

>>535089639
Das nice.

Level block out is almost done, half the props are ready gonna start filling it out soon

>>535090063
When do you think you'll have a demo out? The more I see of your project the cooler it gets.

>>535089639
Good luck, my advice is to get working on the mechanics asap because investing too much in the art can end up making your job harder down the line

Progress coming along on my procgen biped system also. It's ready enough for enemies but needs some work to be playable. Needs debris avoidance, stair climbing, and a few other systems

Day 2 of brainstorming: My ideas are getting better. They’re starting to take shape. Pretty soon I’ll have a concept of what I want to make, I hope.

>>535090424

The Stealth 1-5 needs to be revised it has no progression whatsoever.
>1 standing Dirklike
>2 hunched over looking suspicious
>3 crouch walking frame (currently 4)
>4 lying prone and slithering like a snake
>5 Dirk is completely invisible and you can only see two eyes in the black with his boots below
Currently, you have him crouching, then crouching but the ground is a few pixels lower, then crouch walking, the crouch walking at an intermediate point. Doesn't stack up to Intellect which sees him pick up the book, then the staff, and finally reaches enlightenment. Although for intellect 3 you should have him either reading with spectacles or surrounded by previous books to show progression, as right now it's a copy of 2.

>>535090878
Java and C# (which is like Microsoft's Java knockoff).
I hate Python so much, it's Unreal. And even if I can use C# in Godot, that's a whole new engine to learn. I hate learning things, I want to make a game and Unity is fine except the entire launcher/account thing.

>>535089950
>>535089958
thanks!

>>535090201
I'll keep that in mind! Made only some 20ish assets so far and the game will be VERY simple so I wasn't(probably mistakenly) too bothered by the mechanics yet

>>535090740
I chose it because people say it's easy to learn and I'm a dunce

>>535090424
I just project hopped from my previous brainstorm so now I'm extremely busy thinking about a new game idea.

>>535090424
is this bait or what
how could you not have an idea of what you want to make, but want to make something anyway?
is this the rare anti-idea guy?

>>535090424
bro I've been brainstorming for like 3 days now.
It is worth it. How can you dev if you don't even know what you want to make?

>>535091378
I don’t know if you’re joking but I actually do this all the time and I don’t know how to stop it from happening.
My brain thinks of an idea and I become obsessed with it. It’s all I can think about 24/7. I’ll spend hours doing research to support the idea, I’ll start a text file to take notes, I’ll compile a folder of reference images.
Then a new idea appears and immediately I lose all interest in the previous idea as if it never even existed. The new idea takes over my life for the next few days to a week before another idea comes along and pushes it out. Repeat for 27 years.
This is making it impossible to make any progress. I don’t want to be an idea guy forever. Help.

If you don't know what you want to make, why are you even a gamedev?

>>535092029
>Help.
Easy. Just sell your ideas to game studios. I hear they're desperate for good ideas. I suggest emailing Bethesda and Rockstar first and go from there.

>>535086741
Who has summoned me?

>>535063306
d-does azurdev talk about me behind my back?

>>535092104
I had a general idea of what I want to make, but actually investigating how that idea would be fun moment to moment motivated more. Also thinking about the setting it takes place in.

>>535092029
Sounds like you have ADHD. You need to move your hyperfocuses to actual development aspects of a single game.

>>535092225
i still wanna know if the discord talks about me but finding out means either having to join the discord, which i do not know how, or when i ask if the discord talks about me i have to admit which game is my game

so it will be a forever mystery

thoughts on picrel stats bros?

>>535091218
I respect your dedication to hating. That said, just give it a shot if you ever have another small game idea you wanna try

>>535092637
how the fuck would that work
the notion of getting 'caught' would be difficult to work into something with good movement

>>535092331
I do have ADHD, but I’ve never taken anything for it or tried to “fight” it. Apparently I was diagnosed when I was a teenager and my parents never told me until I was in my 20s.
What do you mean “move your hyperfocuses to actual development aspects”?

>>535092362
I can do reconnaissance with my spies. What do you want me to search for?

>>535092756
for dirk it probably wont matter this much but an easy fix to the problem in picrel is just to auto increase the player's stats and then provide bonus points that the player can freely allocate

I've been idea guying all day.

>>535092891
You need to use mental tricks so your periods of hyperfocus are used on aspects of game development (e.g., programming, art, writing). It's what I do in order to gamedev with unmedicated ADHD.

>>535092925
Nice diaper

>>535092029
You need to execute ASAP. It's common to get infatuated with an idea and then fall out of love just as quick. The key is to actually start executing so you start feeling sunk cost, get some feedback on what ideas are actually shitty, etc.

>>535092756
In D&D, the attribute system is absolutely fucking retarded
3 of the stats are useless to most characters and are optionally dumped
3 of the stats are always useful to all characters
the stats serve no real purpose besides being a flat modifier to rolls and thus encouraging some players to simply not engage with entire parts of the game

I don't have any strong opinion on soulslikes, I'm not really into that sorta easymode gaming

>>535092756
The profile picture looks AI generated so I'm not reading any of it.

>>535092756
its ok to let players make underpowered builds. making a good build is part of the game.

>>535093812
I actually put a lot of thought into RPG stat systems, and concluded most are bloated and have "fake depth". e.g., if your game has two damage types identical in every way except for the stat they use (think dex/str in Souls games), that's fake depth. Ideally every stat should behave completely in completely different and novel ways from each each other. Pokemon, for instance, has no reason to separate special attack / special defense. If the games followed ideal design, those stats should be merged with their physical counterparts.

>>535091282

>>535092984
>for dirk it probably wont matter this much
Thank God.
I only played one game with that mechanic and I took a lot of time thinking what would be the best combination.
Definitely not a big fan of configuring permanent stats.

https://files.catbox.moe/dmqs64.webm

Can I get some opinions on this voice over and if it just fits the vibe and aesthetic? I just modify the voice with audacity and add some crunchiness to it.

>>535094301
If you want to look at a system that does attributes right, look at LancerRPG.
The only shameful thing I find is that the stats you pick don't also relate to your out of combat capabilities in any way.
It's also a 4 stat system but maybe it's better that things are simple.

Somehow, they've made it so that all attributes are both meaningful and contribute to just about any build you could make, allowing you to take a tanky mech and either: Make it mobile, give it more ability uses, make it tankier or make it better at using heat abilities, all of these providing both defensive and offensive buffs.

believe it or not, but this is actually progress

>>535090562
I'm a fan of ol' Fallout games, for Dirk I took inspiration from Monkey Island, Dizzy The Adventurer, Deus Ex and a lil bit of Oblivion but don't tell Todd Howard about it.
>>535091194
Of course, I planted the frames of animation that I already have, I think that now I need a frame for opening chests and one for pickpocketing.
Why aren't you criticizing the charm stat though? It's even worse! I think for that one I'm gonna take pic rel and obscure his face for level one, but for 4 and 5 I'll have to basically draw a prince charming from Shrek.
>>535092756
Fault here is that in Dark Souls games you can't progress without combat. I also think that people going for DS games are somehow prepared for a challenge.
>picrel stats
I don't see any stats. A lot of players can mean anything in this context. 20 people in a room is a lot, but when you take the percentage of people playing Dark Souls then it's just a miniscule number.
Still, DS games are different breed. You have a lot of attributes, a lot of different weapons and eventually you will find a weapon that scales with your build. A lot of that text is just misdirection, a false problem that doesn't need solving.
For Dirk? It's a much smaller scale. You wanna hit hard? Go with strength and agility. You wanna avoid combat? You can perfeclty do that. You wanna do no-leveling-up run? I'll make it possible too.

>>535092756
SL1 runs are a thing, but to equip many items requires stats. This motherfucker doesn't even know what he's talking about.

bro you know i made $10/hr on pogo3d right
thats pretty good for a H O B B Y

>>535095856
Before I got into gamedev, I learned 5e completely off by heart. I might struggle a bit now but I could quote you any rule from the books and errata / trivia about it from many, many arguments over the rules over on /5eg/.
I have of course played it a number of times, including in a westmarches campaign with /5eg/ anons.

It really isn't good. If I dump Intellect then I'll almost never, ever be made to feel the wrath of it. The only times that Intellect is truly tested is when the DM decides "okay fuck you you non-wizard non-artificer INT-dumping assholes" and spawns an intellect devourer or one of the 2~4 other INT saves in the entire game. iirc Maze was one. Failing an INT saving throw is really bad but they're also rarer than unicorns.

As for the variety in classes and subclasses... Eh. It's all right. I feel people jump to homebrew too quickly because you can cover most character archetypes with existing subclasses. A lot of the expansions add stupid shit. There are also a lot of underappreciated options.
My biggest gripe with 5e is actually that it doesn't make it easy for the DM to balance things / teach the DM common mistakes like action economy advantage, but hey. I still think the stat system is stupid as fuck and rolling stats is twice as stupid.

>>535098462
which genre?

At the risk of being considered "eceleb" posting, I finally got around to that video posted last thread where the developer making dreamsettler explained why the game failed, and wow, it pretty much was entirely his own fault.

Yet more proof that ultimately whether a game succeeds or fails depends entirely on the developer. You have no one but to blame but yourself for making bad games, agdg. Also, it's way more valuable looking at the failures than the successes.

anon's mom hands typed this post.

We live in an era when over 90% of all active game development projects are run by complete incompetents who understand nothing about project management. AAA, AA, indie, III, solodevs - it doesn't matter - it applies equally to all groups.
The reason this makes such a difference in this industry is because this industry is unique in the absurd amount of time it takes to finish a project. This is why minor mismanagement spirals into a ruined project so often.

It has never been easier to make it if you are a guy that's actually good at project management and getting stuff finished. There's a real crisis of competence.

I'm convinced I can write better camera-relative spin code and clutch claw code than MHW has

>You haven't done anything.
False, I have added a few more assets and too much bloom!

Anyone remember the name of the monochrome dungeon crawler someone made years ago and then faded off 4chan? he got a publisher and released a few months ago.

Made some explosion animations. Made a few item models in probuilder instead of blender because you can quickly vertex paint something without having to bake and export textures. Fixed a persistent bug in my camera system that was plaguing me for weeks.

>>535100973
That puts you in a pretty good position compared to most of us ("nobody knows me and my games"). Easier to switch from "hate" to "love" than to switch "don't know" to "love."

>>535100921
that's the ori guy

The reason why games take 8-10 years to develop now is because they put millennials in charge, and millennials can't do jack shit

>>535101518

>>535101518
I don't think I've ever seen anyone younger than a Gen-X in charge of anything

>>535102069
Because pick 3 is already perfect. There's no need to move way.

>>535101926
Nope, and it's provable by the fact they constantly obsess over "boomers" and "millenials."
The problem of Gen-X erasure is more than just a meme of zoomers being dumb, because it's symptomatic of the larger problem of knowledge loss. The best video games were all made by Gen-Xers. When zoomers meme about boomers and millenials and forget that Gen-X even existed, it also means that no one remembers how to make good video games anymore.

entity info menu + interaction + z index changing

>>535102292
I'm completely aware of Gen-X. I figured out a long time ago that if all the best games came out around the turn of the millennium that it follows that they must have been made by GenX-ers. They made all the amazing engines of that era too.

>>535102352
stop posting progress so fast you vibe coding piece of shit

>>535102292
Carmack, Sid Meier, Kojima are overrated. Gen X always were. The proof is that the most successful devs here and most creative devs are the zoomers. Look at the older washed out millennial devs. They're wasting time.

Just finished the quests system which is 50 lines of code where you essentially define a quest step by a success predicate that takes the whole gamestate and returns bool, and a quest is a series of quest steps. No support for complex quest structures with optional steps or step alternatives, but this is enough to start out.
The UI to show your active or completed quests in a scrollable window was another 100 lines of code.

Always fun to implement a minimal version of something that adds a new dimension to the game.

what if I bring in another "dev" who "happens" to "be" a "cute woman" but is really an AI chatbot that asks about our prpgrres every now and then and is very friendly and encouraging

He definitely does, maybe you lose 50% of your damage on sl1 but it's more than beatable unlike his games where people brick their runs.
>>535094179
According to the internal logic of his post they have no respeccs, so if you don't put points in offensive stats there is no good build anymore.

Famously modern game design means smoothing all edges players can hurt themselves on for a smooth, retard-ready experience(which loses depth, replayability, difficulty for that)
It sounds like he's opting for a streamlined system where the game hands you some options to pick from. Sad but not unexpected, he cried about being on the verge of bankruptcy a few months ago.

You'd have a point if AAA studios were actually crushing it right now, but the only think they're crushing is their own dicks in the car door of their own shitty decision making

>>535105024
Almost impossible nowadays. Supply glut has raised the bar for "good" that almost no one can reach it anymore.

I'd say probably as much as half the current agdg games could have been considered good a mere 10 years ago, but today none of them would be considered good.

>>535104762
you make money in the music industry by touring and selling merch and leaning heavily into the DIY aesthetic. Even then it's rarely enough to live off of.

Best money maker in the music industry is to either join a cover band that caters towards boomers (I made $150-200 every weekend on average), or to get hired as the house band for a bar or venue, especially jazz clubs.

Getting people to pay for a game is like pulling teeth.

The only reason people pay for games I think is because pirating them can be kind of sketchy.

>>535105381
It's not. Indies succeed every single month.

>>535105735
I dunno about Diablo specifically but yeah I think it's important to let the player have a permanent loss in games with horror themes. Resident Evil Remake is scarier because you can royally fuck yourself if you waste ammo and ink ribbons.

>>535105660
Then why is rap so popular? Why is Kendrick Lamar the top of music right now? People merely follow what is best.

it uses mostly config joints, target rotations on config joints, but there's dozens of ways to do this depending on how accurate you want it to look vs. how tight you want it to be

I regularly think about the Fallout 2 character creator. You have so many options, but most are newbie traps designed to trick you. It's just like choices in real life. Just because you are presented with a set of options, does not mean they are all viable. Real life is like a poorly balanced video game.

Artists are only against AI because they feel personally threatened by it. They're almost always leftists and therefore have no actual morality or thoughts of their own, they're entirely driven by seeking the approval of their peers, and the hive mind consensus is that AI will take work away from artists therefore it is bad.

I hate artists, I think that the entire institution of art has been worshipping a cult of ugliness and sloth for 100 years and it has destroyed western culture. Watching artists suffer brings me joy

I'm against AI because it is shit and demonic. It is incapable of actual creation only of twisting that which already exists. It stands as an affront to the creative spirit and the divine essence of mankind made in the image of God.

AI exists primarily to waste people's time, to atrophy or prevent the development of real creative skills that people could have learned so that they might have taken part in the divine act of creation. It elevates the undeserving and the lazy, giving passable results without them having been earned. But the results are only just good enough for the most vapid applications. Impressing retards on social media with clips, or making memes, or making 5 second porn clips of photoreal futanari with 2ft cocks. But using it for anything real it's no good. .. Even that guy who went viral making those AI fps walking sequences of what looked like a game with 3d pixelart admits that the AI tooling isn't actually helpful in turning that concept into a real game

AI is a faustian bargain and the price may not be obvious at first but I think it's use will prevent you from ever actually being good at anything. And if you're already good at something you'll soon forget

>>535106907

None of you are opposed to modern artists because their art is ugly. You're opposed to them because you disagree with their politics

Most of you don't even have the brain capacity to have a taste that makes you select beauty from ugliness.

What is AI? Replacing one brand of ugliness with another that you support just because you can control it to make the ugliness you prefer. Beauty loses either way, and you're still fake and gay.

There's always been an oversupply of indie games but they were regulated to their own spheres except for the ones exceptional enough to reach the mainstream. Valve is the reason why tens of thousands of flash tier games that no one wants to play share a single store with every other game in existence.

I get writer's block when it comes to creativity so I'm using randomized draws to fill out ideas madlib style.
One file is a massive list of words, the other is a massive list of global names.
Here's an example of filling out a town. I need three things: town name, town theme, and town quest. So here's the random draw:
[code]
> select.py n 5
[from line 182322]
Vallas
Valle
Valleau
Vallecillo
Vallecillos
> select.py w 5
[from line 285271]
Parishad
parished
parishen
parishes
parishional
> select.py w 5
[from line 368985]
syzygium
siziness
sizinesses
sizing
sizings
[/code]
So the town's name can be Valleau, it can revolve around a parish church that runs the town religiously and enforces a lowkey amish way of life or something, and the quest... have to riff on that a little, but i'll interpret "sizing" as like "surveying" and your quest can be a research mission to investigate something about the surrounding geography for them.

I'm just going to brute-force creativity through randomization and stream-of-consciousness until I get enough results that I actually like. I can't sit and make things up out of nowhere because I get embarrassed. It has to be externally sourced so that I'm not responsible for it and can just run with it.

>>535107749

>Most of you don't even have the brain capacity to have a taste that makes you select beauty from ugliness.
If most people didn't have the capacity to recognise beauty then beauty as a concept wouldn't exist. You're just trying to sound smarter and more cultured than you actually are. This is the kind of conceited bullshit artists pull all the time.

>What is AI? Replacing one brand of ugliness with another that you support just because you can control it to make the ugliness you prefer.
This is a reasonable statement and also a damning indictment of the state of artists and art in general. Further proof that artists are retarded faggots who fully deserve everything that's happening to them.

Some big companies have private buses to make it easier for workers to come in from further away. I'm only a contractor but they still let me ride.

>>535108069
Not Google specifically, but one of the FAGMANs. It's only a temp contract so it wasn't as hard as the usual leetcode humiliation ritual that the employees have to go through. It's pretty quiet on the bus usually since most people are doing actual day job work on their work laptops on the bus.
Not going to lie, it's been a comfy contract so I can see why people go through all the humiliation rituals and sell their soul to FAGMAN.

sup everyone, so I'm working on the steam page trailer right now. Is vid rel decent enough to give the idea that driving/racing on a hover kart is a thing in the game??
Most of the trailer is taken from actual gameplay, but the racing system still needs work. And I don't wanna explicitly show all of the side stuff and mini games in the trailer

I wouldn't put it on Steam, right now you just have couple of angles of driving, there's no actual gameplay involved. Is your game about driving through desert? No roads? No pickups?

>>535108918
If I were actually smart I would have leetcode grinded a full time job. It's really not that hard (in terms of needing to be smart) to get a temp contract, even for FAGMAN.

I don't know either of them personally, but I've heard that Pomaodev used to be a fulltime employee at the M in FAGMAN and that Yatpigdev became a millionaire from working a few years as an employee for one of the As of FAGMAN, so I guess those would be your actual "smart guys" of agdg. I definitely don't count as a smart guy.

>>535109281

You know, my husband rode the public bus to work every day. German town of 35,000 citizens. He hated every day, because the bus was overcrowded, full of brownoids who didn't know how to behave on public transport and the bus NEVER was on time. I almost had to kick him out of bed every morning, because he hated it so much. Always said "public transport is collapsing". At one point I got a car and drove him to work every morning and fetched him at noon. Not only was it FUCKING CHEAPER than riding the bus, he also was way more relaxed and good-natured. We moved to a rural area this year and using public transport would literally take an hour for the same route I need 10 minutes by car.
Bottom line: If you live in a rural area, at least in Germany, you *need* a car.

Also have you ever used a German train? They specifically keep them shit so the car manufacturers stay happy. Britain has no excuse and their public transit is just shit because they sold it all off to deutsche bahn.

>>535109848
you don't get it, i NEED to add 100 SHADERS to make it look good, and absolutely not because my lack of artistic skills would be too obvious!

>>535109848
what about the outline shader is bad? In the top vid, the scene that its in lacks a constructor so the outlines are set however they were when I press play. regular scenes all have a constructor which changes the outlines.
Vid 2, the outlines are part of the shader I'm using for the screen. I'm still debating keeping them in, or just using a post process on just the screen object.

>>535109976
I'm sure someone has told you it before but if your in game visuals are going to be super stylized then your UI can't look like Windows 2000. There needs to be some cohesion between the two.

>>535110221
Making something look good with shaders is an artform in of itself

>>535109967
You have no idea :_:
When we moved to that town, twenty years ago, we had the usual number of Turks (pretty okay) and two (TWO!) blacks who worked at the local supermarket. Pretty laid back guys. Quiet and hard-working. Since Merkel's "Wir schaffen das!" (We can do it!) and the following mass immigration I felt less and less like living in Germany with every year. Last year it got so bad that we decided to move. Whenever we visit town, we're shocked how many blacks and browns are there.

Anyway, to keep slightly on topic of the thread, here's a simple prototype for a tilesheet I'm working on, nothing spectacular, but its progress, I think. Still very much in the early stages and I'm still learning the ropes of pixel art.

>>535110351

Guys PLEASE STOP FIGHTING!!!

>>535110541
Sorry to hear that.
About your pic, I think the colors need a lot more contrast. Are you using a color palette or are you making your own?

>>535110221
my project has less than 10 shaders lol. the problem is that I'm in a weird limbo with them

this one's not game-related, it's for my yearly halloween themed art I make. still early in progress, but it's using shaders that are in the game.

>>535110206

>>535111352
the wiggling or the distorting? cus there are two things that affect the shape of the outlines. one's a sine wave, the other is a noise texture

>>535110927
>>535111431
Yeah consensus is the colors are bad. I'm colorblind. Are they too saturated?

>>535111213
ok thanks, I'll think about how to make the UI look less old, a friend told me it looks too much like RTS also.

>>535110856
Looks cool other than the weird shimmering effect that starts a 4 seconds which I’m assuming is unintentional

>>535110779
Like I said, it's a prototype before I got around to make some highlights and stuff. I'm making my own colour palette and already have the lighter and darker colours set, but I haven't got around to further work on it yet.

>>535108846
> And I don't wanna explicitly show all of the side stuff and mini games
Show every single aspect of your game. Some people use words, some don't.
There's no need to show how to win the mini games, just make clear that your game have them.
>>535109564
>It's not a racing game, no. Racing is one of the mini games.
Write a summary of what your game is about and then show that in a video. Look trailers of popular games of the genres that your game fit in.

>>535109792
>If you live in a rural area, at least in Germany, you *need* a car.
That's the case everywhere unless you're living in some turdie shithole that has no cars in rural areas.

European cities are pretty good for car-free life but brownoids are quickly ruining that. Having a car lets you avoid brownoids but it also opens up the possibility of your car getting stolen or vandalized by said brownoids. There's one solution but I'm not allowed to say it out loud.

Can confirm. When we lived in said town, we could walk *everywhere*. Sure, we lived right in the middle (and it still was quiet and peaceful), but within 30 minutes walking distance, we had everything we needed.
We now live in another kind of "brown" village (read: pretty right-wing people) and even the two black kids running around in front of our house speak fluent German and play with the other white and brown kids. If browns and blacks don't get the chance to cluster, they integrate pretty well.

Anyway, other progress post: A table, a stool and a simple test character sprite.

idk what genre my game is in lol. I call it an exploration style game, but idk if that's accurate. the games that inspired it are LSD Dream Emulator and Sludge Life.
I do want to make a trailer similar to the LSD Dream Emulator one, which utilizes video synthesis (like pic rel).. Which I can do, because I have the tools for it. But I don't know how to get stuff onto a VHS tape from my PC, and then back onto the PC.
whenever I do that stuff, it's purely on VHS tapes.

people talk about 'immersive sims' but i honestly don't know what it means by this point. they say system shock 2 and deus ex are immersive sims, but how many simulated systems are there? just looks like an average rpg to me

another day of opening the project in the morning, and closing it at midnight, with zero changes made inbetween

>>535118342
VTMB is set in modern day and has a much smaller scope

I replaced the retarded inventory system I made when I first started with a slightly less retarded inventory system with double the capacity

>>535119501
I don't know what immersive sim means, either. I bought System Shock 2 and Deus Ex back when they were released and they were promoted as FPS with RPG elements. Always thought the term immersive sim is something younger players invented, because, apparently, they need a term for everything.

>>535119501
You can serve bad milk tomato juice to a guard and he'll have to leave his post to use the restroom which allows you to bypass security. It's kino immersion to be able to solve problems in different ways. It's why swimming is so useful in Deus Ex.

>>535119501
Usually I think people seem to mean some sort of agentic gameplay where there is some degree of indifference between to resources given to the player and the goals they are expected to fulfill

>>535119006
The inability to tip the container myself to pour is disturbing me

>>535119732
they probably have some systems in place like stealth which makes play styles possible, but i doubt they have many large things playing together
> An immersive sim (simulation) is a video game genre that emphasizes player choice. Its core defining trait is the use of simulated systems that respond to a variety of player actions which combined with a comparatively broad array of player abilities allow the game to support varied and creative solutions to problems as well as emergent gameplay beyond what has been explicitly designed by the developer.

>>535119776
yes i want the players to be able to mix in really weird shit like bleach or acid into their coffee if they so wish.
my god swimming was so bad when i played the training area, i could barely get past it

>>535119808
seems quite broad, at least to me it's when multiple systems are connected, like i have both wetness, temperature, and other systems reacting together in ways i don't explicitly program them to

To add to this, it seems that Warren Spector used the term himself in 2000 when talking about Deus Ex: "art immersive simulation, part role-playing game, part first-person shooter, part adventure game". He also said: " The key to role-playing is giving players the freedom to act as they see fit ... And a deep world simulation that allows them to solve problems in a variety of ways is the best way to do this.“

: )

>>535120024
i can totally do that, but it's just going to be frustrating having to carefully rotate things to pour a cup of coffee, and it would also mean you can't bump into anything because shit would spill all the time

>>535120076
i suppose since games were way simpler back then the term didn't mean much

>>535120204
Like I said, game magazines back then mostly talked about FPS with RPG elements and stealth mechanics. I can't for the life of me remember the term immersive sim(ulation) ever be used back then.

>>535120024
How do you even do this kind of physics? I don't understand how to turn my water shader into a pouring shader.

>>535120291
it does seem to be mostly a modern term, yes
>The term "immersive sim" emerged in the 2000s and began to be used regularly in the second half of the 2010s, often applied retroactively to the earlier entries in the genre.

>>535120461
At least, it seems to narrow down the kind of games it defines pretty well

4X Immersive Sim.

>>535120049
>seems quite broad
You'd think so but surprisingly few games actually do this and the ones that do tend to be labeled immersive sims. How many games break the convention of "solve the puzzle", "enter the room", "kill the guy" by giving you tasks such as "prevent this outcome", "acquire/ assemble this sort of item/resource", "give this character some sort of impression which changes his/her mind about something"

>>535120597
why is vtmb an immsim but not skyrim where you can put a pot over someone's head

neat. a band I like offered to write songs for my game for free. all I did was email them asking to add a satire version of them to my game and they said they'd write songs for me too.

>>535120781
Probably because Skyrim is firmly set in the RPG genre. The thing with the pot over someone's head was more of a bug Bethesda thought of as amusing enough to not fix it.

>>535120749
that's what i mean by the definition being broad, it seems to mean quite a lot of different things. but they seem to have in common with emergent gameplay or less strict rules for goals yes

I'm getting stuck in the content creation phase. Where can I find an idea guy to hire to make stuff to fill all these levels while staying within the constraints of the existing mechanics and systems?

>>535120612
Sounds terrible

>>535120348
Be creative, learn the mathematics of motion and fluid flow, the answer is in there somewhere
Don't be afraid to use one system for one context and another system for a different context

>>535119501
>>535119732
Spectre himself would say that Deus Ex was a failure as an immersive sim and that it was more of a goal to strive for than a realistic endpoint at the time.
The idea was setting up an environment and the systems within it to allow for emergent gameplay opportunities to occur.
You don't script anything. All the interactions occur because of the rules you defined for the simulation.
In that regard, Thief 2 is actually a better IS than Deus Ex is.
And the closest to a true IS we have at this point is probably Shadows of Doubt.

>>535120749
Jesus, imagine if Resident Evil was an immersive sim. Gold idea.

>>535120348
the trick is to not do it with physics at all

>>535120913
>The thing with the pot over someone's head was more of a bug Bethesda thought of as amusing enough to not fix it.
doesn't that count as emergent gameplay, though? being something that developers did not design but work together with other systems?

>>535120348
just drop sphere rigidbodies with a sprite on them that do things based on collisions

here's an idea, how about we take an existing concept and game that already works like balatro, then add something that just stands in the way and makes it worse, slower and less fun, and then we add something else to remove that thing and just make it balatro
thoughts? its innovation so you love it

>>535120886
Game dev success is all about confidence after all.

>>535120963
Immersive sims are hard to make because they require subtly manipulable events which are hard to write.

>>535121148
>pot has collision

>>535121329
well, yes? any system not explicitly programmed to work with another but does anyway sounds emergent to me

>>535121394
I'm sorry to hear that
Hopefully you can change your ways

>>535121329
An immersive sim is that kind of thinking applied to the entire game.

>grass can be lit on fire (defined rule)
>arrow can be lit on fire (defined rule)

Sandbox games aren't immersive sims

>>535122289
The only real difference is that immersive sims have clearly defined end goals.
i.e. assassinate the character, steal the item

>>535122007
I wish. I've been redpilled on how much music can make or break a game

>>535122478
Sandbox games have those things too, the difference is a three layer system:
Layer One- the player mechanics
Layer Two- the world mechanics
Layer Three- the goal mechanics
Each of these layers needs to have a certain amount of abstraction (hiding the inner workings from the observer) and non-linearity
>>535122683
Never use chat gpt to reply to me again

>>535123036
cont.
the diversity of connectivity between each of these layers is what characterizes an immersive sim, sure you could say that a sandbox game has player mechanics, world mechanics, and goal mechanics, but all of the mechanical diversity is localized WITHIN each layer, not BETWEEN them

>>535123036
The chatgpt reply is right.
Immersive sims have developer defined goals.
Sandbox games have player defined goals.

Yes something like Minecraft might have an endgame technically but it's not the main focus or why most people play the game.

>>535121165
Then explain Fygoon

>>535123263
>developer defined goals
So does 90 percent of all games

>>535123390
Well good thing 90% of games also don't have a focus on emergent, systems driven gameplay or else they'd all be immersive sims you fucking r-tard.

>>535123263
>Immersive sims have developer defined goals.
>Sandbox games have player defined goals.
These are the same thing. My goal is for the player to do whatever with the tools I gave them. They can't do anything in the sandbox that I didn't allow them and that's by choice. I could add scripting to my game, but why do that when I can let you play around with population sizes and resource caps?

>>535123573
Stop trying to justify letting LLMs think for you
Sandbox games are almost always hybrid games with action-adventure or strategy cores. Simply having developer defined goals is poor distinguisher for immersive sims, the quality of the goals and the space between the goals, your obstacles and your tools are also very important

>>535131961
You're a made up and arbitrary genre.

>>535130268
Study the four basic aspects of music
>Harmony
The 12 musical notes, A to G and their sharps and flats, repeat at higher and lower pitches.
A musical Key is made up of 7 of the 12 available notes. You write songs in a Key, using said chosen notes.
Notes go above other notes to form chords. Each chord has an emotional characteristic. The chords that make up any given Key establish the emotional landscape of that Key. Put chords one after the other to tell an expressive story.

>Melody
The notes that form Chords are the Voices of a piece. 3-4 voices is typical. As chords play out, each Voice should have its own linear melody that plays out through time.
Typically the highest-pitched Voice is the main melody. As you arrange chords in sequence, you want the notes of each Voice to form its own melody.
Repeat and vary melodic motifs to create interest.

>Rhythm
Easy to understand.

>Instrumentation
Extremely complex, the best book on it is like 400 pages.
Basically, stick to established instrumentation conventions (Jazz trio, guitar+bass+drums, etc.) and it will sound fine. You need a LOT of knowledge to put together unusual instrument combos well.

Compose according to your ideals. Expressive output is a good thing to follow, if you can't think of anything else. That is, when you write music, write it according to "Does this express the feeling I want it to express."

Keep to simple pieces at the start. You'll figure out how to stretch into more complex things later.

The biggest and best thing to learn right out of the gate are ARPs and Pads since they do a good chunk of the work. Depending on what game you are making, you don't need anything more than that. A horror game for example really only needs heavily slowed down pads with sound effects insidiously hidden inside to make the player's mind believe something is happening when they hear it in the music for gaslighting for example.

I could be getting like 5x more done each day but I'm happy with my pace.

I want to submit my game for the next demo day but it's a roguelike deckbuilder and I'm worried it will get clowned on for that

>>535136540
>white boys expressing rhythms where you can literally hear why they can't dance good

So you guys also just lie about this too right? Why do they care if I use AI for code?

>>535133213
i can't fathom poisoning your codebase with local llm output, just use it for debugging when you're stuck, even with Claude I have to keep like 15 git branches because it inevitably breaks something, this shit is made for webdev and nothing more

>>535137886
Because in ten years after the lawsuits and everything are settled and AI is found to be massive copyright infringement then everything made with AI is going to get mass removed from all platforms.

>>535137886
I will not play your game.

>>535137886
companies want smart people and not proompters despite what you might have read on 4chan

>>535137654
we call it troonlike shartbuilder around here tough

>>535137991
I would never plug that shit in directly into my code. I throw my file into it and it makes its changes and I consider the changes. I don't know why anyone would let it start modifying multiple files at once.

>>535137991
I dunno man I vibe coded a bunch of shaders in Godot today with ChatGPT and they look pretty good

does Juan read emails? i want to send him fanart i made of godette(the good design)

Spent an aggravating afternoon trying to remember how to bake color to texture in Blender and forgot the crucial step where you have to explicitly add the unwrapped UVs in one of the million tabs and menus. It kept rendering either a black texture or transparency and printing a really unhelpful error message.

>>535138191
agents are just that good, if you need something that hasn't been done before they can build it, if you do it file by file even AI gets it right if it doesn't understand the structure you gonna have a lot of annoying racing issues debugging sessions
>>535138487
shaders are fine you can immediately see what's wrong

>>535138649
why didn't you just look it up or ask Jippity-Sama

>>535138769
>agents are just that good
Not for me they are not. Even when I use claude I still find myself severely limiting how much it does. I want complete control over my code base at the end of the day. I know what my code does. I use AI as a tool to speed up my writing process. Relying on AI in solely is fucking stupid.

>>535138839
I looked it up for like two hours and got nowhere until finally I found the answer.

Almost every time I ask old uncle GPT to write some code for me in GDScript it tries to use a ternary operator even though I've told it a thousand times GDScript doesn't support that

yeah i'm a game dev so fucking what

>>535132310
you should replay System Shock I and realize it didn't age at all and is overall a better experience

>>535119006
zamn! grok 4 can do that?!

>>535131960
still minimum 6 months from finished
depends. when i get the whole loop together and i can playtest it will people, i will evaluate if i think it's good enough to spend 12 months on or not

Not sure if my game is too easy or if I'm really good at it because I know every mechanic

You guys ever just go back and play a game from the 90s for the thousandth time instead of some new shit
What game is it

>almost 600 posts
>0 progress
/agdg/ is done

>>535137886
>even if you hand-edited it
DOA. They should've split it up to make it more specific. Like "partial-ai output" and "direct ai output". A lot of code nowadays is going to be partially AI generated since LLMs are a lot better for googling

>>535137591
is fagooon in the room with you?

>>535143624
People would post progress if you left the thread permanently. You should do it for the greater good.

>>535143624

Going to make the health bar get longer and scale with the players health as they get more health points by leveling up endurance.

>>535143624
Every time I post progress it gets ignored

>>535137886
I've been in a couple game jams where they say this while supporting games that were obviously made with AI. There's a lot of mixed messages.

>>535145391
Endurance isn't a stat moron.

You should care enough to know what they want and what they want is slop because gamers are pigs.

>>535148109
Great question! I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I cannot use Godot.

is it okay to use AI images for concept art and placeholders? or is it better to waste an hour to whip up something horrible looking in blender?

>>535150269
>is it okay to use AI images for concept art and placeholders?
I would advice against it for concept art, but yeah for placeholders sure whatever.

>>535150269
>is it okay to use AI images for concept art and placeholders?
yes

>>535150269
>or is it better to waste an hour to whip up something horrible looking in blender?
also valid

>>535150269
Not so fast chud! In order to keep working on your game you first need to do your own blender compiled in your own programming language running in your self made computer.
Otherwise you'll disappoint someone in the internet, and that's a bad thing!

this nigga gettin mad at cartoon girls again

>>535101518
Its because AAA game development (software development as a whole) is no longer a job where you and a team of other passionate men work together to develop games its now a job where you endlessly tard wrangle thousands of third world temps and retarded cat ladies.

>>535151103
He was obsessed with building tools, like a fake flash program or a click-and-drag page builder. He felt this was necessary in order to recreate an authentic version of early 00s internet. He barely worked on the actual game.

>>535152501
sounds kino to me
we don't need another gamble shit
we need autistic projects

>>535098680
He was already a successful dev who made it back in the baby mode era of game development. He went full retard and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. The overwhelming majority in the current year will never get that opportunity.

>>535151984
It works for me too. We are GMI, sakura bro.

>been two weeks since I made any progress
It's so over.

>>535143557
NGMI.

>>535143557
FF7 obviously. Never get tired of the game. Why can't modern games be the same?

i figured out how to generate a grid of astar points, and to connect the points (i have elected not to connect diagonally)
now i just need to code the rest of my tactics game...

Holy shit guys. Mom get the camera!

>>535142127
Reasonable strategy, I am guessing.

>>535153175
BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>535152642
we don't need gamble shit tru but engine/tool dev type autismo massively overcomplicates development and potentially tanks developing altogether

Just be careful with not spending too much time getting to that point where you can test it.

>>535153515
i mean the whole point of pivoquest is to build a base i can reuse to mass produce friendslop
everything i am doing for the pivoquest vertical slice can be reused for another game

>>535153494
If your game doesn't have at least a title and a subtitle in broken japan-engrish then get the hell out of my face.

Please behave yourselves.

It's never OK to use AI. Even reading the AI answer in a Google search will doom your game

>snatched defeat from the jaws of victory
TF does that mean retard

>>535153646
Reasoning sounds similar to Cris. Or to people that make (in-house, specialized) game engines, successful or not.

>>535155585
esl zoomer retard

>>535155585
NTA, and didn't watch the video, but if he made a lot of money on a lucky game development project, and then wasted all that money on a new, failed game project, and is now broke, he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Like, winning the lottery, then spending more than all the won money on new lottery tickets, and then not winning anything with the new tickets.

Could have just not gambled after winning.

>>535156094
What God giveth, God taketh away.

if I win the lottery I'm blowing it all on hookers and blow. back to game dev after that.
