I'm refunding your game, benchode.

As much as I'm looking forward to reading the Haunted Chocolatier books part of me still wishes he would have posted his essay on good and evil, though I understand it would probably feel to pointed towards the Nikki collab and get him into even more trouble. At this point letting things go is ultimately for the best.

I'm going to be doing a meta analysis on sasquatch b studios
he has around 60k subscribers
his highest performance in popularity was 2 to 1 years ago.
his most popular videos were impersonal about starting gamedev.
in 2024 he released a game called cropolution which currented has a total review number of 10 and the calculated net revenue is about 300 USD

>>536384835
Feel like you've described roughly every youtuber gamedev with that.

>>536384835
He should rebrand cropulution as a weed game and update the art.

>>536385076
Why would I do that? I'm not a tranny

>>536384909
Locked and keyed.

>>536385218
You wouldn't qualify for that since you're a lesser being chuds cant be one

>>536384412

I'm almost done with making my cats animations. Just want to make one for playing and then one for getting petted

I'm still not good at animations, but I think these fit the style for my game just fine. Wish I learned what IK is before finishing 10 animations by manually rotating everything each keyframe.

>>536385349
What the fuck are you still doing outside of a psychiatric ward?

>>536384835
damn thats craazy. im gonna work on my game.

>>536385465

>>536385489
That isn't your business

cont.
Currently he struggles to break past 10k views.
He is still a unity developer (slop dev choice engine)
He made a video about his game (flop) and it appear his wife is in a completely different location and are using telecommunication to speak.
this video got around 9k views so even if he had 10k wishlists the review rate would be 1 review per thousand wishlists.
>>536385095
as is videos become more personal, opinion based, and unity specific it appears his viewership has dwindled greatly as these topics are uninteresting to the game dev community (retarded nodevs mostly).

>>536385615
don't listen to this guy

>>536385615
you should listen to this guy

>>536385849
LMAO

>>536384412
Hey azurdev I know you cut off your tits but do you still have a working vagina or did you slap on a flesh salami there too?
Basically I'm asking because even though you're a disgusting tranny with shit art, if you had a vagina I think I still would, just saying.
t. real artist with real skill because I studied the classics, the masters, and god himself via his natural great works.

Slop isn't an indicator of quality. It's an indicator of effort. High effort + low quality = SOVL. Low effort + high quality = slop.

Well anon, does your game feature other languages?

>>536394170
No, if they don't speak English they don't matter.

>>536394170
51.1% of the people who bought that game were Chinese, and 66 people found that review helpful.

>>536394632
Oh, it's literally a Chinese developer. Lol no wonder.

Still making progress but I know I won't make it to DD at this point.

Does this look like rain?

>>536398778
I can still click x on "my language" filter and see all languages just fine

>>536399118
Kino! Nice rain.

>>536399118
not really, unless it's falling on a glass window just above the camera, then kinda, but still far-fetched

>>536399118
why is the rain scaling in inverse like that. WHY? WHY/ HY/w WHY/ WHY?????????

>>536395414
just post on cord, anon. Why even interact with these nodev cretins

>>536399473
it's called style

Testing something with engine porting, I didn't realize I only have Unity 2022 installed. Hopefully should still be good for a test

>>536399538
it feels like dev was inept enough to just do whatever remotely resembling rain, a shortcut that shouldn't be taken

>>536399473
I dunno man, shaders are hard. Sometimes it looks like it's going up, sometimes it's falling down.

>>536399404
Yeah I think I need to work on the droplet shape more.

Me showing up to the TGAs to collect my game of the year award

>>536399519
I'm not a nodev I just don't post progress here because I don't give two shits about anybodies opinion here including yours, nodev or not.

>>536399118
Shouldn't the rain drop opacity fade into 0 instead of the size being rescaled ? Try that.

>>536400018
I wish I had this...

>>536400213
but this looks cooler

>>536394170
I included a link to google translate on my steam page. If players want to know what's going on, they'll have to do it the old fashioned way.

maybe as a paid DLC, I'll set it up so each line of dialogue will contain a link that translates that specific string.

>Base is 240 MB
>Importing into Unity bloats it to 1.45G
The fuck is Unity doing

>>536400754
Needed for the AI models. Unity is the ultimate vibe game engine

>>536400754
sending your data to isreal

I'm going to describe my approach to an object interaction system in Godot. Tell me if this is retarded or overcomplicated (it probably is)
>I want the player to be able to see a list of possible interactions on objects within his radius. So if the player is in front of a door, there's "open/close", "lock/unlock", and if the player is in front of some food, there's "eat", "pick up", etc.
>When the player should be able to interact with something, then an InteractionSocket node, extending StaticBody2D, is added as a child node.
>The InteractionSocket holds a list of RefCounted objects extending an Interaction class.
>The Interaction class has two properties, "title" (EG "open") and "subject_title" (EG "door"), and a single "perform" method with the Player class as a parameter.
>When an in-game object should be able to have one of these player interactions, then it should define an inner class that extends Interaction, where the properties and method are set according to what's needed. So a door would have multiple inner classes according to the different possible interactions, like locking, unlocking, opening, closing, entering, etc. A corpse, on the other hand, would have inner classes defining actions like "butcher", etc. So any object can have an arbitrary number of possible interactions with arbitrary behavior
>The player object has an InteractionPlug node which looks for the InteractionSockets. When one is found, it's added to a dictionary: the keys are the Interaction titles, and the values are arrays of the Interaction instances themselves.
>When the player opens the interaction menu, the keys are displayed in a list.
>If a key is selected and the value array has a size greater than 1, that means that the player can do a single interaction on multiple possible objects. A list of the subject_titles are displayed. When one is selected, the interaction is performed on the according object, calling the Interaction's perform method with the player as an argument

>>536400942
just use signals you RETARD

>>536398338
calm down azuredev. here, take it, i fixed it to be more of your style

>>536400942

>>536400942
Can you show it in action? It looks like it works, so what's the problem?

I just came up with an unbelievably great solution for a problem while on the shower, but I'm in the middle of solving two problems right now. This sucks.

>>536400942

Ok, now this is a funny post.

Is it really worth making a game, agdg?

holy shit the eceleb schizo is still samefagging? its been 2 days
i literally made 50 enemies in that timeframe with whisk

>>536403030
If you need someone to tell you that, just give up desu.

>>536398069
sisters, we won

>>536403030
idk, you tell me

Fuck I love AI bros.

>look at the result of my latest prompt
>that feel when you know you will be a millionaire
holy shit. I won....

>>536403030
Yes.

>>536403030
yes. easily.
imagine, you made your game, you're at the games awards and you game got nominated for best Indie Game award.

The race is close, and eventually narrows to two contestants. Your game, and the Haunted Chocolatier.
Unfortunately, and realistically I might add, you lose. But don't let that get you down!

After the reward ceremony, you head on down to your favourite cafe for a quick cup of tea, and who do you see sitting in his lonesome across the cafe? none other than eric barone, prodigy of the Stardew Valley game.

He has his reward, but he looks empty, he sees you and a grin is on his face
>"Hey anon, I can call you anon, right? I'm eric, nice to meet you."
>"You did a really great job on your game, even though I ended up getting the reward, I think your game was number one!"

you are taken back by this, "Wow! my real life hero praised my game. this is just like when Billy Corgan of the smashing pumpkins sent his demo to a band he liked and they said good job, keep it up. And who that was? Bob Dylon"

not phased by your silence, Eric continues to talk with you
>"Yeah, so... umm.. I was wondering, would you like to collab with me on my next game? I can't believe your wild imagination."
>"Honestly dude, I watch marnix, I listen to Chris Z, and I molyneux post like the rest of us... But my ideas, man... Chocolate? Ghosts?? It feels so stale."
>"Your game, anon, just... It had ideas I didnt think possible."

your selected hearing finally activates.
>ideas?
>molyneux posting?
>collab with the GOAT?
its like a dream come true!

And so you do it. You and your hero, Eric B, just a classic DC comic adventure between super hero and side kic.
You make your next game as a team. And for the next game rewards ceremony? You both come out as the winner.

I say go for it anon, you are worthy of making the game and finding a suitable reward for your action.

bro thinks I'm gonna read all that

@grok, summarize this post

i want to make a game but i don’t know what kind. i make music, design characters and write and want a medium to put my stuff in and establish a fictional world and series. vns were my first thought but i want something more interactive than that and i want to make intense boss themes that wouldn’t fit in a vn.
any ideas? ideally something able to be done in rpgmaker. i thought an rpg perhaps but i would probably need a whole team and i prefer working solo.

>>536404242
This is high art

that's it, no more pragmata threads for today, time to lock in

my rpg maker game will be adapted into a movie

It really did look cooler desu but I took your advice and tried something else. Except it always kinda looks like snow or sparks.

I'm wondering what good looking rain even looks like or if I should just use a gpuparticle2D.

Patient devs rise up

when will /agdg/ have it's Black Souls moment?

>>536405426
Stop.

>>536406314
i’m trying to copy and paste faster but I still feel so slow. any tips on getting better?

I kinda want to pig out at a Chinese buffet all on my own but I'm trying to lose weight

That already happened

I'm putting the VR project on hold to work on ultra small scope games to become familiar with the whole process from creation to publishing. The first one is inspired by you guys.

Nice work anon! When are you adding the game?

So are English reviews worth more than other languages? If you think about it, targeting people who'll write reviews in English is a higher priority if that's the case.

>>536410336
Likely yes, there's a reason why views from India are worth significantly less monetarily than any other country on YouTube.

>>536408736
same, hardcode is always the answer. better for there to be a game than nothing.

>>536385767
i want him to fail, i want him to give up. I want him to actually provide his children and wife the stability they used to have and deserve like he used to.

>>536410735
yes

I have my own alchemical view on what I would call the motif of paradise lost.
Basically Milton suffered a lot, he was hurt by the church and near the end of his life he was blind and dictated his work to his daughters.
It was through analysis of sin and demons and fallen angels he had made his work.
Milton didn't hide from things that are scary, he didn't turn away from the void and found an internal truth and created his great work. Similarly as how dante walked through inferno and purgatorio before he reached paradiso.
All of humanity is the answer to job. In a way we deserve everything and god does not care how we interpret it because god is not human, he is subhuman more similar to animals than us. Clearly we were not created in his image due to our moral interests, but it was through our will to power and that's why we were able to defy god and and we ourselves inherited satan through that because satan (adversary) is/was a part of god. God is the diabolic and the symbolic and we were thrust from paradise because we are of satan we needed a world that was adversarial to live now, and we were then told that we will suffer and then we will die. Genesis is quite bleak. And further more Job reveals god's diabolic and symbolic nature, he can put together anything he breaks apart and Job wasn't even wrong according to god, the real lesson was that Job didn't deserve what happened to him and it was through god's power it did happen but Job was not correct in in thinking he could seek legal justice against god. Now mind you Job is a very old story that has obvious rewriting over the numerous authors. And the fact that God criticizes Job's friends is what gives us the answer: we don't deserve anything. Job is essentially a stoic motif. We should praise Milton and Dante for their christian works and chastise literalist protestants.
cont.

>>536412209
And so what I am getting towards is the philosopher stone. In christianity Jesus symbolizes this, in a fallen Israel he attempts to redeem humanity he expresses the failure of Israel and her people and is killed. The philosopher's stone will not be found in the treasure room of a king but in the darkest lands beneath filth. Divine transmutation prefers those who struggle and blesses them but maddens to immature who leap towards her, the madonna: virgin mother. From genesis, job, psalms, christ, chaoskampf, etc., and so much more, we are learning one thing, that transmutation does not happen when you flee but from struggle. The church attempted to save people by creating an authority with attempts to constrict the mind, the mind of protestants perhaps may be among the more dulled and eroded. Thus I can only suspect the end result be that humanity's will to power be seized away to become obedient pets of the moral authority who assumes to know god (again protestants are amongst the worse). Life is tragic, life is unfair, and we deserve nothing and do not deserve what we do have. So we are not saved by cleaning our hands, but by laboring. Ask not god for lighter burdens but for broader shoulders. And no the hands of the righteous are never free from dirt nor are they smooth and soft. There is still good and bad, but virtue is neither. God is virtuous. Virtue in this dynamic universe is the turn of the a wheel, and they way you turn your orb is not preordained. Thank god life is meaningless. Ars vitae is how one controls virtu to create.
It is all the old saying life imitates art. You cannot find success in living because you struggle without meaning. As we learn from Dostoevsky life without hope of meaning is suffering. And from Albert Camus in an absurd world, we must imagine sisyphus happy. You are like sisyphus and atlas, tasked with carrying yourself. This is what my game is about.

The more developed the visuals are, the less interactive the environment can be. Roguelikes come closer than most games to the right tradeoff IMO. Immersive visuals with a canned environment get so old.

And if you did read it you would learn a lot from the years I have spent studying and learning condensed greatly.
>TL;DR
life has always been about struggle, the chaoskampf, and basically we're Sisyphean child of Altas who are solipsist (we suffer mostly in our own minds) who live in an absurd meaningless world who when aware are met with the choice to struggle against our anxieties born from the imago of the madonna into a cursed void and given the choice: when made aware we choose to die (depression, madness etc) or to live (passion). The will to power allows us to choose to flee and remain weak or to face the struggle and become stronger. Passion itself means suffering. The world is tragic and difficult and when you become aware you will find it unjust and that is true but we deserve nothing and do not deserve what we do have. When the rich covet they are blind and thus they will not see heaven because they are blind. Dante walked through hell and purgatory before he entered in paradiso. We need to do the same.
This idea of chaoskampf is primordial and is how we should truly understand god as the struggler who symbolizes an arbiter of strength diabollic and symbolic and as his creation in imago dei we are also symbolic and diabolic. Our decisions of virtu as a wheel over an orb resemble how manipulate a meaningless abstraction into the art of our being. And in the same way this applies to my game's internal philosophical structure as well as my process in making a game. As a logiciar I have developed this gnosis through study and internal manipulations and so thus I possess internal the philosopher stone of philospher stones which allow me to transmute the meaning of all things so that I may live happy. Some people are hylics and they achieve processes from natural process. In a sense not yet earned.

What is some cool literature (or other sources) on explaining how to design games as experiences?

Like, what makes a good experience in game, or how to construct playful experience etc.

Can be also on gamification of things or creating ARGs

I know it's hard to capture the essence but I hope some of you anons get it

Do all these indie games put on these PSX filters because they legitimately think they look cool, or just to hide how horribly mismatched their asset store pickings are

>>536418224
look up chris crawford book on game design, gdc lectures on board game design.

The best teachers of game design are board game lectures.

>>536418710
What? Jungian archetypes are in psychology aren't they? You should have been studying stuff like Socrates and Utilitarianism.

>>536418224
It's best to look elsewhere than video game design literature. Literally any branch of natural philosophy is a more interesting input to a game than stuff specifically about making games. Also all rigorous disciplines build transferable skills which can interface directly with game design

The increasing accessibility of gamedev tools makes it easier for people to execute on derivative ideas. Someone watches Dungeon Meshi and says "Oh boy, I could make a game about cooking in a dungeon", then actually does it because - well, what's stopping them?

>>536422084>>536421920

It apes 90 dungeon crawler aesthetics but the theme of the game is chowing down with your pals
I'm not saying the game doesn't suit the market, seems like the exact sort of insipid shit that zoomers play with each other

You can get away with no gameplay. You need to spend a lot of time on lighting and sound to actually make someone uncomfortable. Decide early on if you're fine spamming jumpscares or not. If you are, don't do the retarded shit where it locks the player cam and screams in your face for 5 seconds too long like it's trying to give you a smooch

He was asked about this, turns out he was working on the game before the anime release, and I doubt he knew about the managa.

>>536425268
To sort games by date the code will parse any standard-formatted date into Javascript's Date.parse() function and it gives me a timestamp which is easy to sort. However Steam's API sends through vague dates like "Q1 2026" or "Dec 2025", or "Coming Soon" - but these can't be parsed into timestamps so I have a function which maps those vague dates into useful dates.

In this case I forgot to add a mapping for October.

>>536425521
since you're a nodev asking nodev questions, nothing will happen

why not just write an editor for bevy instead

I literally gave you step by step instructions on how to make it and you still had to use AI? dumbass

>>536426565

In the Steamworks dashboard you have to set an actual date but you also get to set the release date that the customer sees separately and that's where those vague options come from.

It seems they don't make the real date available in the API, which makes sense I guess if they don't display it on the store page.

The world was a different place in Tolkien's time.

>>536427197
Tolkien was already an accomplished philologist, professor and a WW1 veteran.
It's true that you don't have to make it in your 20's but Tolkien was getting shit done and him writing The Lord of the Rings trilogy in his late forties was the result of his experience up to that time.
Make shit nigga.

>>536427197
He already was a university professor and had written the Hobbit though

>>536427401

How do I make a shader that can make holes? Like you shoot a wall and can fill it with actual holes, except it's not just the wall, but every part of the house. And not just holes, but any variation of a circular shape.

It's actually a good thing I flopped. I made a bad game that I am deeply embarrassed by, and I am glad that no one is seeing it. It also motivates me to make a better game as soon as possible so that I can overwrite the bad game to better erase it from existence.

>>536429116
Of course they're excuses. I've never done shaders before and I barely understand what I'm doing right now just changing colors on the screen

My ideal scenario is that he posts a video in 2 months explaining that he has gone back to full time working. He admits to being a fool for trying and he will just do gamedev as a hobby.
I don't hate the guy on a personal level, but I hate everything that he stands for as a gamedev. He needs to fail publicly in a semi viral way, not enough to destroy the mans life but enough so that he becomes a cautionary tale.
Anyway if the good scenario doesn't happen I will totally settle for him getting divorced and doubling down on become a lolcow.

If you're gonna make it in gamedev you should probably have made it in some other aspect of life too. This is why successful indie devs have girlfriends.

People who turn to gamedev in a desperate attempt to fix their life are always ngmi because the only reason they choose it is they wrongly beleive it to be the path of least resistance and are deathly afraid of pic related.

Only two things need to be added to it which are the smaller enemies and a hidden thing, then I can focus on the other things which is mostly 3D modeling and animating all things considered.

That puts you at a disadvantage. Outsiders succeed because they bring in fresh perspectives. Gabe Newell worked in operating systems and spreadsheets and now he owns the entire PC gaming market while the lifelong gamedevs fight for his scraps.

>>536406314
I am genuinely trying to vibe code using ChatGPT and Grok. On the one hand, it is nice to be able to say "I need a FIFO input buffer for the previous x frames..." and just having it instead of needing to code the entire thing myself, but on the other hand, vibe coding means debugging both the actual game code and the AI's understanding of what it is you want it to do.

>>536434636
>>536435335

To some extent yes. I have everything coded already, and the only thing that's left is content, which includes environments.

I'm just trying to read the documentation of SDL and do the bare minimum to get a linear progression of making a window, drawing things on screen, affecting things on screen through input, etc.
Getting a window up was fine. But now trying to get an image loaded and going through documentation I can see all these things like IMG_Load, SDL_Renderer, SDL_Texture, SDL_Surface and I feel like I have to just throw shit at the wall to see what sticks with these.

Every time i play a 3d game like this i get annoyed pretty quickly at how shallow / non-interactive / meaningless the environment is. Might as well just have a flat 2d backdrop for the scene like a literal stage.

>>536440848
There are different kinds of 3D games moron. Not all of them allow you to do whatever you want. Some are just set pieces to move in.

I'm gonna use SDL and OpenGL and QT.

I'm sick and tired of seeking the easy path and then being just frustrated I need to convert the engine into what I want.

I'm interested in a sprite sheet AI maker, most asset packs out there are dog shit

>>536383195 (OP)
It's been almost a year since I declared I was going to learn to make games. I did a course and a few games, off and on while doing other projects outside of games. I didn't finish the course, but today I finally put the pedal to the metal and started working on my dream erogame since it's an EZ bake idea with fun gameplay (if I can copypaste what I'm trying to copy properly) and I want to have a prototype soon to start asking around for an artist to work with me. I did procrastinate in wanting to build an agent this week to help me generate art with a StabilityAI API, even though I could go on Midjourney's website and print some crap out (which I did).

Holy shit, I wasted so long on errors because my project was nested waaaaaay deep within folders within folders in my documents folder. I had a shit ton of option paralysis with finding a decent font. I had to relearn to how setup up friggin buttons and I still need to find more assets for basic crap. And I spent the past couple hours debugging trying to get my ingame screenshot function to work to get pic related. And I'm too afraid to debug in VS Code directly since I've got errors and broken my build twice because of where I originally placed my project. And now I'm seeing more errors when it compiles in VS Code. I don't want to do this over.

But real progress in designing and not just learning was finally made. I learned how godawful I am at UI design. The next thing on my list is to use Mega Man X's sprite sheet to use him as a placeholder for my character for right now. I see so many games with the main character as colorless stick. I get it's to save money but man... kinda boring. So yeah bros, thanks to listening to my blog post.

I'm Him.

Woah there tiger, I have folder for production and folder for development in my assets folder. I am aiming to only use AI stuff for placeholder assets. I have no clue where I'd go to get a background artist.

Is it weird that I want to make a really ecchi loli game because of how the world is right now?

should the player have a small chance to fail even if they overwhelmingly meet the skillcheck? should it be 99% chance to succeed if you have 20 Charisma of the required 3 Charisma?

>>536446013
depends on what your game is about

>>536441623
Someone out there still needs a dedicated wagie for obscure tasks.

>>536446013
>should the player have a small chance to fail

Failing doesn't matter, hard locking loot or progress due to random failure is what matters.

>>536446013
If they're in a spot where they might lose an hour of story progression or something, make it 100%. If they're being a tard and fucking around and just haven't saved in a couple hours... 95%

Fygoon gets nuked because we hate him. Everything else is just aggy culture, newfag.

texturing my revamped models, this is the first color pass, it will be mixed with grimes & blood maps later on. i decided to remove every pbr from my game and stick to this ps2/2000s pc game style thingy. main concern is i have to get a lot of image resources from pexels and most of them aren't texturing friendly so it needs to be processed somewhere first. wdyt?

We have our thread spies though so it's all good.

To be honest the biggest thing keeping me in unreal is the fab system. As soon as that branches out to godon't I don't see a reason to stick with c++ and blueprints. They work well but when it comes to busy work you can't cut out the bulk. It becomes a real time sink. But if I go to godon't I know that it will cause similar problems by virtue of having no pay to win system integration like unreal

>>536448918
I think the HRT has fried your brain anon

>>536435667
That's no different than hiring the jeet except the AI won't lie if you ask it if there's something wrong since it doesn't get anything out of fibbing.

>>536443724
Okay I figured it out you just text prompt what you want. Sort of getting some interesting results but it doesn't stick to any sort of grid so these would require quite a bit of post processing to make usable. Style is a bit inconsistent. Maybe it has some style prompts but idk.

>>536429593

What is a turnaround sprite sheet?

>>536448918
kekw

>>536449653
I tried that with like a dungeon screenshot and a texture. With the screenshot it wants to influence the results way too much like giving me dungeon scenes or it injects lighting into the generated texture and weird shit like that. Using a texture works better.

>>536450030
Turnaround refers to having multiple perspectives of the same subject. Usually used when talking about character turnarounds so you get the front, side and back of a character for example.

>>536450190
Is there actually templates for that anywhere? Sounds more like a uv map template than a sheet but it's exactly what I need and want

>>536445153
>I have no clue where I'd go to get a background artist.
Hey fren.
What assets do you need?
What dimensions?
Pixel art style, right?

>>536450190
I don't know what you're trying to do but for my needs (texturing after using filters on it) it works fine, also when you get a result you like on the button left to the send prompt arrow you can lock the seed and get consistent style.
>>536450303
I think you can do that with the proper setup but you gonna need to feed it examples of what you want.

>>536450303
The templates are some garbage.

>>536449225

Have you ever noticed how dumb stories are in video games? It can take from 20-30 minutes before you get a single paragraph then sometime sit can take hours before you get another paragraph. Are they even really stories? Much less good stories? If making a good story in a video game is all about progress gates then you only need a basic story then add in content blocks in-between.

It would've been cool to get actual trim sheets from it. Like if it could constrain the parts of the sheet to sizes that are multiples of 32 you could quite easily make trimsheets for trenchbroom with it.

just replayed system shock 2 followed by a replay of prey (2017)

>>536452723
I don't know, you can try the sharing button near download image and try to recreate it yourself and lock the seed then.

>>536452867
What did you learn?

>>536453123
System Shock 2 aged poorly.
Prey is a really annoying game.
It's stupid to call the genre immersive sim.

>>536453301
What part of System Shock 2 aged poorly? I do agree that Prey is annoying, but that's part of the fun because you can go Prototype on everyone.

so uh I have a pretty decent eye, I can detect illusions are higher rates than average, and one thing I noticed lately is that movies are starting to use face filters more commonly, I know they have used it in the past but it was with cgi based tech, this is more like the one you see from tiktok the kind chinese girls use to fraud old white guys.
It make me realize something, if motion tracking and surface detection is becoming so good with modern NNs then what if I applied those into games?

>>536427197
This is good advice for people who managed to have some minor successes in their 20s and are clearly going in an upwards protectory. You don't have to achieve your magnum opus in your 20s to do great things in life.
But this is terrible advice for losers who don't have anything to be proud of by 30. You're a fucking loser and you need to do something.

I'll have to get back to you on that. I have to build my player and figure out how many enemies I want swarming on the screen.

>>536454216
16:9 it is. hmu with the deets and a layout sketch.

>>536453794
can you explain your process I also like making them.
But I struggle with realism and consistency in the process

>>536453439
First of all, the level design is trash. While not as bad as system shock 1 (which was built retarded on purpose as a joke according to the lore) the ship's levels are still a disorganized mess. And while at the time it was novel for a FPS to have environments/levels that actually somewhat resembled an actual real space where humans live (unlike quake which is intentionally just corridors with weird texures), 25 years later it fails at that task. Actually it's pretty amazing what time has done to the game. When I first played SS2 the bottom felt like the top but now it's such a stark difference.
Beyond the environments themselves system shock 2 really fails to deliver on interesting gameplay. As a horror game it fails because the only way it's horrific is when you try to use weapons without foreknowledge on how shitty the weapon degradation system is. Just ignore guns, use your wrench and you'll get far against very predictable and weak enemies. Then late in the game when you have the resources you can use guns to save time. As for what you're doing on levels, basically every level is annoying scavenger hunt where you find 4 poison tubes and put them in 4 receptacles or destroy 21 eggs.

AHHHH CLASSES START MONDAY I AM SO FUCKED

>>536452849

>>536454292
Understood.

to be transparent, this is the gameplay I'm trying to recreate:

https://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ01183715.html

This game is a ton of fun but I don't really care for the character designs. And it has no story. I figure if I improve on those, this could sell. But I can't write for shit. oh boy.

>>536454304
I find this tutorial very helpful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPRuT4X_LAk

I pretty much use sub-d for the whole thing, add a simple metal texture to it and let my custom "celshader" to carry the rest.

Do you have any specific question?

>>536454627
Do a ten second mockup, it wil help more.

>>536453884
Yes, he will. I’m adding weapons next, right after I add a revive button so I don’t have to restart the game every time the character dies.

I just like the fact that, as a total newbie, there are a lot of resources for UE, and though I may have to do something 3-5 times before I find a good enough answer, the good enough answer probably eventually comes. And each attempt helps me better learn how to interact with the environment. Even if I have to use clamps for absolutely everything. But that may just be me.

untextured low poly
vertex colored low poly

you'll inevitably see a lot of flat shaded low poly with modern lighting when you search but that shit looks ugly in comparison

I can't tell if the game in your video uses very simple per vertex lighting or is basically unlit and all the faces were hand colored to give the illusion of shading in places like the tires, if all the faces of the tire were the same color they'd blend together but you can see the edges

Soon we'll need to pay players to give our free games a try.

>>536465480
that's not it

a multiplayer focused game needs players to live and yours doesn't have the appeal to pull in a large audience that would sustain the playerbase
for friend groups to pick the game up it needs to be free or so cheap that they don't care if they just wanna play for a bit
it is not the type of game that people would commit to playing a lot which is why they won't buy it if it costs like 20 but it might work if it's 5

first you said it's doa if it isn't f2p and then you said to sell it for $5, implying you think there's not much difference between it being f2p and $5, implying it's as easy to sell it for $5 than it is if it's f2p.
