which design is better for a little girl that has to mine cheese from the moon

This hobby is deranged. I hate everyone here

hypercoven didnt break the 2 players peak in the first 24h, what went wrong?

Left.

>>536093425
Left has the most personality and is immediately recognizable as a main character, I'd go with that, thought right is cute

>>536093684
I don't have any...

>>536093538
>what went wrong
no launch discount (fucking really? LMFAO)
terrible capsule and trailer
terrible art style
terrible gameplay
poorly optimized
launched with 200 wishlists (what did you think was going to happen, seriously?)

Inb4 some guy talks about how there are sooo many great games on steam that never see success, meanwhile this is the average quality of a game that sees no success. If you make a game this bad, you deserve no sales. Sorry.

>>536093425
The left 2 don't really convey the miner idea. I think the 3rd design would work best where the character takes their helmet off to show personality.

What is the game flow going to be like? How fast will movement be?

Make a fucking DirectX 6.0 game engine, dont be an autist, dont use modern engines. Go full retro. It will build your character. Return to soul, return to tradition.

>>536094018
Making an engine with this garbage won't change much. It ultimately comes down to how much soul you have inside of you as a person, an old version of a graphics API does not inherently imply soul.

im next on the flop block this october or is anyone else releasing before?

Yeah, can't wait for GTA 6 to release on console so every game in existence dies for a solid year then it comes out on PC and kills the games industry again for another year.

Is this basically Hollow Knight 2? I liked when franchises organized themselves with numbered entries more.

no but seriously, how do i delete my game from steam so nobody can buy it again?

>>536095208
Yes it's basically Hollow Knight 2, it was supposed to be DLC but got feature creeped into a full game. They didn't change the name because it already had a ton of hype and publicity behind it.

>>536093234 (OP)
Wow that exactly describes bar*ne schizo and 'cord, I wish /agdg/ would go back to being artisans of various skill levels making ludokino, we need to gatekeep better.

I mean depends on the game in there. Perihelion had one artist and one guy on programming - it did have two guys on design, but one guy was the artist and the other was the programmer. Not really a whole lot of AAing going on in there.

>>536101535
Sure, but they're likely a team of industry experienced vets with real skills and several published titles under their belt. They're not going to be some whiny no-skill loser kid crying on a Korean barbeque forum day in and day out with nothing to show for it.

Nope! That was their first game. Perihelion is great. Lot of Amiga/PC Engine/etc games were like that.

i feel it may be a little generic, that's why i was having doubts before doing her 3d model.
>>536094263
she is a human mining the moon, she wears a rabbit helmet to blend in and not frighten the existing rabbit population
>>536094008
i was planing for some platforming but decided to keep things vehicle only except for some moments where she has to walk outside it.
she will move around the moon via a reusable drop pod, along with a small nuke that blows up the surface each time she arrives, sending cheese and moon rocks flying. the vehicle has a giant grappling hook you must control and aim to collect pieces of cheese avoiding the rocks before they fly out of orbit, she has to exit the vehicle to transfer collected cheese into the bottomless stomach/storage of a lazy robot before being able to collect more cheese, the robot is a lazy piece of shit that also outranks her and is in charge of sending her and her vehicle into the next area.(i haven't designed the robot and i could end up scraping it thoughbeit)
it all happens in the span of a minute or a minute and a half, if she doesn't fill the quota she is left to be eaten by the local rabbit population for desecrating sacred ground.

its literally just a tool, like 3D, libraries or game engines

The nodev incel loser trapped in his mom's basement making those posts will never be putting his mind to anything but crying and shitting himself over how actual yesdevs aren't wasting their lives away making artsy NGMI passion projects just for him and his fellow loser incel /v/tard friends, none of whom have any income to spend on video games. Yesdevs with the skills to actually make those kind of games are also well-adjusted enough to have a family that they need to feed, and so instead, they use those skills to make slop for other well-adjusted normies who actually have the disposable income to spend on video games. See >>536102726

replying to yourself again award

The announcement of Hollow Knight Silksong should deeply concern us because this means that 2025 will have one (1) good game released in it, and a high profile one at that. We haven't had a year with more than zero good games released all the way since 2019, so this is unprecedented and some of us might be fucked

>>536106113
The average person has well over a thousand of hours of free time every year. Silksong will only be 20-30 hours long and will therefore only occupy at most 2-3% of that free time.

>>536106113
im scared because after silksong releases, the fans will literally have no reason to exist anymore and they'll all kill themselves and then no one will buy my game

I think hollow knight sucks

>>536106113
oh shit, 2d metroidvania #35894 is coming out? pack it up boys, gaming is finished

Honestly, I think I'm ready to create my first masterpiece.
I already have the necessary practice.
All I need to do now is study 20th-century literature, cinema, and music.

if you don't understand why Hollow Knight was so special and beloved and why it spawned so many clones you are not cut out to be gamedevs and should give up now

>>536107270
Well, what's the setting you are planning for this project? That would help you figure out a more unique icon.

>>536107270
Damn that looks good, please don't make it into a degen porn game or something

>>536107397
If you understand why Hollow Knight is so special and beloved, you should be able to make your own special and beloved game. Instead you got nothing.

>>536106113
Also silksong releases exactly during dd64

>>536107660
what the fuck do you think I've been doing this whole time retard?

hollow knight fans are cultists like undertale fans. do not take them seriously.

>>536102791
You have to understand, somebody called him a faggot once and he never recovered

>>536107397
i understand perfectly, it was one of the first higher budget and attention indie games so a lot of people played it as their first
same with undertale

BREAKING NEWS

>>536096026
jesus christ

>>536107270
I think the word "agents" is cursed now and you should rename them

>>536107397
Explain why. I love 2D platformers but I don't see what's so special and groundbreaking about it other than it being pretty (which is mostly due to the extremely simple designs, no really, their designs couldn't be more simplistic and easy to draw if they wanted).

>>536107813
he's addicted to slot machines and gachashit. He's a slime

>>536107501
it keeps changing. Right now I'm leaning into a sci fi setting. Maybe you control a group of settlers on a new planet... but maybe it's kinda like fallout where they have been sheltered for a long time... like for a humanity conservation project that's gone wrong. Yeah... maybe they were born on a spaceship and then finally landed at destination... I dunno, open to ideas and suggestions...

>>536107397
>consistent level of quality throughout (most indies fail this)
>art style appeals to Tim Burton fags, straddles line between cute and weird - wide appeal
>"muh dark souls difficulty" (game is actually easy, but people can feel like they're epic hardcore gamers) - game presents as niche but has wide appeal
>relative dearth of metroidvanias back then

>>536101093
pretty comfy
you just have to write a good story
people wouldn't remember Fallout if it had only turn-based combat with rats, you need a compelling story to draw players in

>>536107813
So are we supposed to believe he's a fan of this dress up gachashit?

>>536107940
why is it cursed and what shud i change it to. rimworld calls em pawns

>>536107775
Not having a game? And you're doing a great job at it.

>>536107945
It's a masterclass in writing and worldbuilding but more importantly the developers had enough skill and awareness to understand how to channel that into the atmosphere of the game. The player experiences the game as a fully living breathing world. If you removed that top layer Hollow Knight is nothing special as a metroidvania

>>536108293
it would benefit his audience of women/fujoshi to believe that. Brilliant marketing imo.

Where is Castelladev??

>>536094242
This is the dream. Don’t be a fat fuck who attacks another fat guy for losing weight. We are all here to achieve this.

>>536108436

maybe i'll also call this game castella something

>>536108393
>masterclass
Can you elaborate on why? I didn't care much for the story or setting and the consistent dark theme felt boring after a while.

>>536107397
>>536107945
I'm at the same page with 2D platformers but I don't even think that their art is good. It's super simplistic. I must've said it earlier, I have 20+ hours played in that game and I just can't bother to finish it. I even fell asleep once playin it.

>>536107813
Come on now, this is not hitting up the nubby's guy on discord and setting some crosspromo between cool indies. It's a deal with a Chinese company with a terrible track record of bad practices that made over 100 million this year from their disgusting free gacha game. It's not something you just stumble into and think "hey this is a good thing the fans might like it!"

I'm struggling to design menu icons. Tbh, I'm struggling a lot atm.
At least I've learnt that beautiful bushes aren't worth a damn if they don't fit with the rest of the art.

Amateur game development? Can you stop samefagging about multi-million dollar studio made games in the hobbyist gamedev general?

>>536108393
To me, it looks like a game about cartoon bugs crawling in a arbitrary nonsensical bug world. Nothing actually dark and interesting happens in the game as far as I'm concerned. Give me a hook, what's the most interesting bit of the lore?

>>536108295
Associations with ai slop
Something like minions or henchmen

if games like troonby's reddit shartory can become massively successful via streamers pushing it then i feel no shame using AI to make a real game
eat shit LGTB troons, im an AI chad

>>536108632
Because when you go into the game it's a completely real place. This should be studied for generations to come on how to make atmosphere that's so good that it carries the entire game. The dialogue is uniquely phrased and the world is full of small specific informational details that sell you on the idea that these places, creatures, and characters have a history and role in the world. The weird elements are condensed into systems that are consistent - such as the Radiance which makes complete logical sense the entire way through in the way that it functions. The pieces of text that you get are almost poetic in how simple and effective they are in conveying their meaning. Additional seemingly disconnected elements like the Arena or the Hive or the Grimm troupe almost make you ask yourself how far the world keeps going. You know you will never explore beyond the boundaries of the game but you're sure there's more there

And here in reality you make shit like this

>>536107945
I attribute Hollow Knight's success primarily to having excellent accessibility at all levels: the low price point, the low PC spec requirements, and the immersive tutorialization of every mechanic.

>>536107813
Might as well collab with Raid Shadow Legends at this point

spellbook abilities, ability upgrade variants, class spec ultimate abilities, each with a final mega upgrade form, dozens of enemy types, boss types, unique boss ability mechanics, quests, bounties, relics, talent trees, farming, mining, fishing, cooking, crafting, and alchemy

>>536109268
Plenty of other games have consistent worldbuilding and drop vague hints about lore/history/supernatural elements. I guess you're saying it did that especially well? It seemed about average or below to me, not really catching my interest.

The games that inspired Dark Souls, ie. Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, probably had that.

>>536110128
these dudes had a multi year NDA that no one in the press even dared to break, but still pretend to be humble lil devs

>>536109916
Half of the gaming world has it, I don't even know what are you trying to imply. From the beginning of the 90's till now, you have Fallout, Planescape Torment, Morrowind or Oblivion, even Max payne is consistent with its worldbuilding and drawing parrallels with nordic mythology, Thief, Deus Ex or Alpha Protoco, Arx Fatalisl all have that. Sanitarium, I have No Mouth and I must Scream, even Night in The Woods, which is awful, awful VN camouflaging as a platformer has consistent worldbuilding, mysterious hints and supernatural touch that makes total sense in a finale.
The thing you're describing isn't all that rare.

Morrowind has been held as the epitome of great worldbuilding for years but even as a huge Morrowind fan the objective truth is that Hollow Knight trumps even that in conciseness and solidity. This should tell you how many leagues above all the rest it is

>>536110941
not yet but im trying to make it to this DD. Last project fell apart because i got too drunk on making webms and not making playable progress. So this time im gonna prioritize game dev and get it to a demo state first before doing any socials.

>>536111070
were there any particular themes or cool parts of the worldbuilding that stuck with you? I have a hard time remembering anything notable from HK, but I did play it years ago

>>536111070
hollow knight has only a handful of NPCs, dumb enemies that walk left-right and bosses that are there but aren't all that difficult or special. You walk through empty town, kill zombie bugs, you find a guy that makes maps, you free some green bugs, restart the tram line witha a grasshopper. There's nothing impressive in it and you're trolling so hard right now.

can video games be art? Give me your best idea to make an artsy game

>>536111226
The dialogue is worded unconventionally and every piece of text has layers and layers of subtext.

None of you are able to look at a game and identify why it was actually successful. This is why none of you are going to make it.

Wew yesterday was a real tough day to be an Eric fan reading through the /v/ and reddit threads. My take after sleeping on it? We just don't know the full context that lead to this "collab" and probably never will and we gotta be at peace with that. At the end of the day you can't just throw away all of Eric's previous credentials and define his character over a single questionable decision.

Thank fucking God the symphony and pax and the indie slice are all soon so we can move on and forget about this mess.

Schizos cant help it, the creature is sick in the head and has to samefag about his nepobaby idol in the amateur gamedev general.
The real problem is janny not doing anything about it.

>>536107813

Is that supposed to be endearing or something?

silksong doesn't matter in the slightest to most of us because we will never release anything

>>536111698
>it was just dark souls but in 2D
Close, but specifically what aspects of Dark Souls did it copy so well? Hint: It's not the worldbuilding.

>>536111865
Mostly incorrect. These are contributing factors to varying degrees, but none of them are close to the top of the list.

WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

>an old version of a graphics API does not inherently imply soul
BUT BUT BUT BUT THE YOUTUBER SAID THAT IT BROKE HIM

dont mind me, just paging out eric schizo samefagging
sadly fygoon was right

I'm just gonna blame the "Communications Director" at Playstack, Balatro's publisher. He's the mastermind that manipulated Eric

>>536096537
What about just banning smartphones and thirdies?

You can't make great ideas if you are trying to impress people (or much less women)

>>536112152
I played it before but never made it past the beginning, I think I just wasn't into the controls of the game. Maybe I'll try it again someday since it's so highly revered

I'm wondering if it's possible to use Unreal as an engine wrapper for HTML exports of games.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtQ3gN7Jb-Q
You can run a web browser in game, but what about importing a web HTML export of a game and linking it in the source code so it runs the files and passes through controller information?

>>536113808
when your game doesn't sell, you technically worked for free

>>536114519
bonfire = bench
souls = geo? (these small coins)
you die = you have to reclaim lost geo
long way from save point to the boss
world is dying, only handful of NPCs
everything is bleak and dark
now what it doesn't have is leveling up and different weapons/stances that level up with different stats, but it's silly 2D metroidvania, not a game that is trying to have any depth of combat

love this gif like you wouldn't believe

unpopular opinion: well i wouldnt be able to say this on 'cord but i think that the amateur gamedev general should be about amateur gamedev and not the life of a nepobaby who runs a multimillions dollar studio, just my humble opinion
especially considering how mad certain "people" get when I tell them that I use AI voices in my game, so what? at least i'm working on a game

we aren't going to talk about you fygoon, go away

Success breeds jealousy.

why are you jealous of the lizardman? randomly namedropping him like this

It works!

Playtesting.

>>536117951
Whine whine whine. I spent over $200,000 developing a game that sold less than 10 copies and hasn’t hit the minimum threshold for a single payout. There’s always someone worse off.

>>536118683
googum you forgot your name but I agree with you I hate valve aswell

3d pinball space cadet but it's a fast-paced tactical movement-based roguelike deckbuilder with procedural generated tables and soulslike bosses and emergent gameplay density and mechanical darwinism and self-serving difficulty.

>>536107270
For some reason this reminds me of joshua graham leading the sorrows out of zion valley. Very settlers pilgrimage like vibes.

>>536119631
shoulda spend $200,000 in marketing bro

>>536119631
Damn, Project Nortubel is expensive

>>536119875
i keep getting accused of being fygoom or googum, crazy

>>536120071
The game turned out bad so marketing it would just be wasting even more money.

>>536107397
This along with Undertale/Deltarune. A lot of you fags just don't get it.

>>536119631
I don't believe you, how could you spent 200k on a flop? Unless you were earning 60k a year and you've spent 3,5 years developing a game after you've quit

3d pinball space cadet was already perfect, so I didn't read the rest of your post.

>>536120615
Believe it or not, the money came from a few years of making incest wegs (12k a month between patreon and subscribestar) before patreon ban so I switched to SFW games and invested everything into a gigaflop.

Do we think Eric made the animation? When he collabd with Balatro he drew the cards himself and I'm getting Alvvays Many Mirrors vibes from this

>>536120615
I don’t see why someone has to quit their job for development time to suddenly count as a cost.

>>536122297

notepad

>>536122297
notepad++

>>536122546
notepad is fine for self contained notes but sometimes you want to attach pics or audiologs to your notes

If I'm making a game with pixel art, is there any reason to get autistic over limiting my color palette if the game is meant to be played on modern hardware anyway?

>>536122297
Obsidian

>>536123524
If you don't think so then no.

>>536123524
Depends if you're shooting for a certain aesthetic
If you want your game to feel "retro" then you should probably limit your colors, but if you're just going for modern pixel art go wild.

>>536123053
I just paste the file path

>>536121748
This is what people are killing themselves over? Holy fuck that voice is bad.

I'm making a game with anthropomorphic animal characters, but I'm not quite a degenerate furry
I just have to accept that there will be degenerate porn made of my characters if the game ever pops off
It's the grim reality of things

>>536123053
>he doesn't have leatherbound volumes of notes written in exquisite calligraphy, accompanied by albums filled with images and sound recorded onto vinyl, with the text simply referencing where to find the relevant image/sound

>>536115704
I think the souls-like elements held HK back. Runbacks and losing geo seemed to have frustrated a lot of players. Don't know what that anon's on about.

>>536124481
That's why I'm making a puzzle game with no characters. Although you perverts could find a way to make porn of it I'm sure

I know this sounds exactly like cris but what else can you make with game engines besides games? Something like reading or studying gamification using users epubs?

>>536124674
HK is literally just Metroid meets Dark Souls.
Both games are not good in my opinion and I grew up on Super Metroid. Love Super Metroid but sorry every game that tried to copy it has been ass and I think it's purely nostalgia running for my love of Super Metroid. I think fundamentally the game design is frustrating and not skill based just purely trial and error based. It's just fundamentally fucking annoying. #hottakes

:D

Now I have a working demo of a 2D clone of mai fighting

>>536124102
That's what I'm trying to decide for myself before I get too entrenched in asset creation
I know for a fact I'm sticking to a low working resolution, though.

>>536125232
UE5 is used in a lot of rendering stuff

>>536122116
For 2017, there wasn't a whole lot of indie games that looked like it and it had an interesting premise and world. It's not that special now since there's Metroidvanias out the asshole but that's not really Team Cherry's fault.

>>536125232
Machinima

1. make a game loop so fucking dumb that even steam piggies can understand it
2. fill it with particle effects and screen shake so they feel like they're doing something
3. add something obviously broken as a synergy so players feel like they're "outsmarting" the game that requires 10 IQ to understand

>>536125351
If anything, a limited palette can make it easier on you by vastly cutting down on almost endless selections of color. Why choose between thousands of colors when you can pick 16 and never think about it again

>>536125232
I have the idea that a VN could be made like a VN version of encarta.

Like an html website but inside a game engine.

Like imagine a google maps, but is about the google maps of an isekai world.

>>536125736
Explain why this would be better than Hypnospace Outlaw

>>536123053
wordpad then
I remember I had a wordpad file with games I've beaten with screenshots of final cutscenes

>>536125902
that game doesn't seem to have the coherent story a VN about a harem would have.

>>536125997
Explain why someone would want to read a harem story in an encyclopedia format instead of just the usual linear VN format

So this is the power of AI....

>>536125232
you can do a game engine with a game engine

>>536126516
*gulp*
crabbies, say it aint so...

>>536125736
>>536125902
I said it once, I'll say it again
VN roguelike
Make something like FTL but instead of fights you choose where to go and what to do. With correct choices you'll run into random events with girls that you can sway. Any event will give you something, like money, stat increase or relationship progress. Infinite replayability, hunting for your waifu, better stats will increase your chances with specific girl (different stats influence different girls)
million dollar idea, just make the writing interesting and make the girls attractive

>>536126202
because you can do it like a fantasy wiki of some world and read the stories of each npcs and the lore of the world.

>>536125624
I guess part of my confusion comes from potentially misunderstanding limitations
When people talk about colors in terms of 8-bit, 16-bit, and so on, that's per sprite, right? Not the entire screen?
If it's per sprite, that simplifies things drastically and means I'm overcomplicating things in my head

>>536126808
This is literally Summertime Saga. Fuck your land lady type shit.

Never heard of it,wiki synopsis says it's kinda sandbox but it's not highlighting any roguelike elements, also I didn't say anything about sex scenes
>>536127329
say that to nonary games fans, danganrompa fans and any other VN fans

>>536127519
OBS was giving me 5 FPS and crashes.

kazam works better.

>>536127732
Turn running it on something that isn't a Windows 98 machine

>>536127553
When you put it like that, it actually does sound like an interesting idea for what would basically amount to an e-stalking simulator. Unfortunately cris lacks the talent to pull something like that off.

>>536127704
>I didn't say anything about sex scenes
That's because you're not into making money. Roguelike like just means you have to start over so it's kind of meaningless.

>>536127836
how is a machine issue when I get no issues with kazam?

>>536127852
That was my chicuelas 256 demo.

It felt like a stalking simulator.

Huh, a “wiki” style game that’s essentially e-stalking cute anime girls actually sounds interesting. I’ll have to play around with the idea after I finish my current game.

I just took a piss and it was more interesting than what is currently going on in Aggy right now

Will janny ever do something about the offtopic eceleb worshipper who keeps spamming us with garbage? Someone needs to ping a mod on IRC.

>>536128650
>e-stalking cute anime girls actually sounds interesting
this doesn't even sound remotely interesting

>>536125310
well, I think it's pretty impressive how you managed to make animations but you need a lot of them and they need to look better. Check Mortal Kombat 4, most characters have the same couple of animations for attacks and only special and throws are different.
Oh, and your pain state isn't stopping opponent's attack

Boring
>“wiki” style game where you eventually find out that you're being e-stalked by an anime girl
That's the stuff

>>536128650
Wiki style game? You mean like Welcome to the Game?

>>536129021
This one’s even better. Doing this and making it horror themed.

>>536128650
epstein simulator where you have to collect a dossier on an anime girl so your pals can find out where she works and abduct her

Honestly you could make a VN like basically a twitter slop feed.

>>536129185

Guys, stop posting in /sdvg/ and work on your games instead of wasting time. Demo day 64 is in 2 weeks and it's the last demo day before the next Steamfes.

>>536133932
Cool mecha. Don't think I've seen this method of attacking before.

>>536133932
I like it good job but you gotta be careful with fast gameplay + autolock, usually you have to game design around it and it's gonna greatly reduce the numbers of enemies you can have on screen, I think the dark souls level designer talked about this.
This is also why mecha games tend to be about 1v1s

>>536133932
Neat, sort of reminds me of Bangai-O but bigger

>>536133932

snake in the grass

should I give each of the houses a basement, or just a few of them?

>>536134517
What worries me is that with the fast movement of the game + free flight movement, the player could just skip over combat and fly past eveything. This and also how do I stop the player from going too far or getting lost if I decide to make a larger, open area, since I´m not a fan of invisible walls but I might have no other choice in this matter.

How do you deal with being completely helpless in crafting a commercially presentable game and also feeling extreme shame at yourself and your past works despite your good/viable abilities in coding/art/whatever it is you are good at to the point that you can't just take all the stealing/whatever risks and ask people online to collaborate on a game?
I feel this extreme dread whenever I so much as think of launching the engine or gimp, programming is my favorite activity but gamedev swallowed my soul and vomited it back as a torn and jumbled mess.
I also happen to be on the younger side, there are other paths available to me (even though for normal people they sit firmly in their "die before that" list!, e.g fighting professionally) so I am not just torn apart and jumbled, I am even being stretched until I break.

>>536145208
>He barely marketed it.
The game is bad. The artstyle is extremely inconsistent. Pure AI slop with various artstyles and units that clash with each other.
The game design from demo day was a bit convoluted to learn but once you got a handle of things there was little depth.
No amount of promotion was going to save this game from ever being good.
It's a cool learning project to flex your programming skills, but as a commercial game it has no redeeming qualities.

>>536114583

>>536143205 i take it back, sotc gets close to this feel when you are playing in the PS2 for the first time in the 2010's

>>536145292
>>536145716
I'm not familiar with ICO but it does look like it has some of those feels. SotC has a lot to like. That large open world with some ancient ruins scattered about and traveling with a horse to get around. I'm not necessarily thinking of Zelda-like as game design but the feels I got from those early 3d Zelda games.

I understand ultimately how a game looks isn't more important than how it plays but like

Among Us was nearly dead for two years before it exploded with popularity anon. Just make a game with soul, quit comparing yourself, and move forward with the best actions and not with the fear of the need to succeed.

>>536147627
I am excellent in what I am good at, but art fucks me over, I said "good/viable" so that more people could maybe relate instead of sperging out with "I don't believe you etc..." but instead I got the complete opposite kind of stuck up retarded response.

Hyper Coven is shit. I would not say this if it was free because at least the creator understood he made something not worth a dollar. But no, he crapped out a turd and thought it was worth money. Shit ass game. RTS is a dead genre isn't even an excuse here.

He's talking about Henry Stickmin, an old Flash series. It wasn't on Madness levels of Flash popularity, but I think every one of them was the #1 game of the week or whatever on Newgrounds when they released. One of the Amogus devs is the guy who made that, and he made a remastered collection that also had a new, final game of the series, and added some Among Us easter eggs in it. The release of said collection coincides exactly with Among Us' sudden spike in popularity, so it definitely seems responsible for Among Us blowing up

Yeah do what I did and spend some time learning modern webdev, then get a job that pays more than minimum wage, then do that for a few years until you get a comfy chill work-from-home job, then do gamedev as a hobby.

Trying to earn a living though gamedev is far more difficult than just getting paid to do any other kind of software dev. Either you're on your own trying to make it, competing with every other retard in this thread, or you go the professional route where you compete with tons of misguided people to get jobs with the worst pay and worst working conditions in the software industry. You get crunched to death to push out a broken game and then get layed off as soon as the day1 patch is finished all so that the AAA megacorp can burn another $500m gambling on shitting out another liveservice slopa flopa nobody asked for.

Webdev is easier to do kinda sometimes and easier to get a job in though not super easy I guess. There's a ton of retards with CS degrees and no programming skills trying to get jobs and failing in >>>/g/twg but all you have to do to be beat them is not be retarded and actually know how to program. And no you don't need a degree, its not worth the debt.

i'm working on a roguelike where when you die you spawn back at a checkpoint. saves a lot of time. :DDD

>>536150464
I had an argument with my wife last week and I couldn't concentrate on deving at all despite having spare time. So be aware that if you plunge your dev partner into a pit of despair your project might fail anyway.

>>536148526
Roguelike gameplay like this is always poorly designed because it caters to a sense of a slot machine rather than some sort of purposeful design. BoI had this issue where the bosses would get more and more ridiculous, requiring you to break the game more and more to finish out the reqs for 100%. This means you'd use the meta breaking rules as best as you can for longer runs that lead to your overpowered state. If you can't get to an acceptable level naturally, you just want to restart and feel like you wasted your time. Enter the Gungeon had this problem where most of your guns sucked shit ass and it felt lame because there was no synergies. So yuo had fuckinglike 8 guns and they all sucked. Unless you can give the player the tools to create interesting power scaling for themselves, they'll look for specific tools only and that leads to the "restart the run" issue a lot of roguelikes have.

The main issue with roguelikes is that the randomness only adds to the feel of the gameplay so long as the player understands what they're dealing with, meta knowledge is necessary so if dying repeatedly is guaranteed, you don't really feel like experimenting. You just learn the most effective way of preserving resources and gaining power to deal with the lower levels and then feel a deep sense of bitterness when RNG fucks you over.

Blue Prince's final puzzles had this issue, you couldn't solve them even if you knew what to do because you didn't get the right rolls for rooms. I had a second Blue Prince file where I have access to the etnrie mansin but I have not rolled the foundry yet, so I cant unlock the first ending. It's fucking lame.

>>536147225
I like that but I'm not sure how you'd handle it with a billboard sprite art style. Structures would be blocky 3d and I don't know how to make it look good both up close and at a distance. Maybe if the textures aren't too noisy or LODs have less noisy textures it could work.

>>536147376
I do like keeping the puzzles simple. Same goes for combat. I don't mind if the game turns out to be easy. The vision I have is a lot more focused on the feels and the art style and the gameplay is something that will adapt to what fits the game. I cringe at the thought that including a dodge roll will make people compare it to souls.

More irresponsible to post here than make game because I need to make good progress

>>536148526
what a worthless short

meta progression is fine but I dislike the type that's strictly about giving the player more power I much prefer the expanding of options and choices type meta prog

meta progression that's all about power works better as an incremental game and I think that's fine too if those games were to lean more into the incremental aspect like what if you did a vampire survivors but it was properly an incremental game

>>536151134
breaking the game can be fun but it sucks if you can't control the rng enough and get a bunch of dead runs because you couldn't get powerful enough

that's why I hate the pick one of three type especially when the game tends to get harder as you get more unlocks since it becomes harder to target specific things as the pool gets bigger but your options with each level up remain 3

>>536148076

sure sir, here is my progress, i was busy prompting the rig

Found a ten year old essay about making a distinction between “creativity” and “imagination” that probably explains a lot of why I and most of agdg can’t make good games. We have creativity, but not enough imagination.

>>536152280
just remember that making something specifically for yourself doesn't really work because you'll know everything about the game taking away the sense of discovery and joy of playing it for the first time

AI video is gonna ruin people

>>536153619
Wow, great stuff! Your game will surely be successful

>>536153642
You can't make a good game because you might have enough sense to say to yourself, "Even though I've rode several aircrafts in my lifetime, I don't believe I have the technical skills required to design an aircraft.", you somehow can still delude yourself into thinking, "I've played many video games throughout my life. That must mean I have the technical skills required to design a video game."

>>536153642

>>536153642

How do I make a bad game? I wanna fit in with you guys!

>>536153454
Surely it's that and not the fact that there's a negress on the cover or it's a rhythm game with an input lag issue or that it's only been out for a few hours and people are still busy playing it before reaching a verdict.

>>536153761
I think a good game designer can let the gameplay pacing reflect their design process. Take something like The Witness, that entire game is the designer guiding the player to the same possibilities and permutations of the game's mechanics as they discovered while designing the puzzles.

The same could be said for level design in a simpler game like Mario, its designers are constantly finding new ways to challenge the player given Mario's mechanics, and then the player has to discover what the level designer is trying to ask of them.

>post honest progress
>deleted

>>536153642
You don't really need that much imagination to make a good video game. An original video game? Yeah. But most games ever made are just hard copying and iterating on each other. Which is fine. But you can make a good game with or without being original, what you will need is the critical thinking to know what does and doesn't work in game design and the experience and skills to put it together.

I'm a cute girl now that's no way to talk to me

does anyone use a programming duck?

its when you can't figure something else, so you develop a split personality in the form of a rubber ducky that answers your programming questions. basically like a Tulpa if real.

if so, does it need to be a duck or can any object be charged with secret knowledge about PCs? I'm thinking of getting a Bulbasaur statue.

>At least 17 people are dead and more than 60 injured in two separate attacks in Colombia on Thursday, after FARC dissidents brought down a police helicopter with a drone in the department of Antioquia and a truck bomb exploded outside the central air force base in Cali, Valle del Cauca.

>In the northeast of Antioquia, a Black Hawk UH-60 helicopter belonging to the anti-narcotics directorate of the National Police crashed in the rural area between the municipalities of Amalfi and Anorí. The aircraft had been providing aerial support for manual coca eradication teams when it was struck by a drone carrying explosives, police said.
