I have a lot of work to do, but I am extremely tired. I need to go to sleep.

We're all going to make it to demo day

>>536603838
I just woke up and I'm still tired. I'm still numb after that last nasty bug.

I don't think I'm gonna make it, agdg.

how do you receive millions in funding just by showing videos of a bunch of stock characters in stock UE environments with some free assets?
https://youtu.be/U6Mm4AnQqFg

>>536606016
It's called pitching.

>>536606016
Yeah, if you're a Ubisoft producer and custom tailor your game and expectations roadmap to a minor publisher like Kepler.

>>536605720
it's ok, agdg HATE hollow knight clones, silk song is no exception

>>536606016
I think Tim gave me some of these free assets.

I guess I have to accept the era where games like Dwarf Fortress / Rimworld / etc can succeed are over.

>>536606448
I don't like hollow knight artstyle, dunno about the gameplay

I don't understand the point of arrays.
You can just make more variables, no need to make it more complicated with this list bullshit.

>>536607139
You're going to make a new variable for every inventory slot, level pickup status for every level, enemy attack turn order, dialogue status, event flag, etc etc etc.
That's silly, dude, just learn lists. It will take 12 seconds.

>>536607139
you don't have the CS background to understand, i fear.

>list

>>536607139
It's simple. Memory is essentially an array, so you're actually always using an array.

>>536607624
Depending on the language you use, doing it like that won't guarantee the data will be contiguous in memory which will make you unable to do some memory access optimizations so your code might be less performant.

>>536607924
I guess my problem is that arrays from the looks of it are very unpredictable. At least in the programming language I am learning.

let me guess

its not like i give up on purpose, i just that i cant find the willpower to go on

What did Anonymous mean by this?

>>536608261
Willpower isn't a real thing. You either do or not do.

I'm making a sequel to one of my games. I found that having a finished game to build on doesn't save nearly as much time as I thought it would.
Some things like the save/load system and menus I can use with very few changes.
Other things that I need to change actually take longer to adapt than they did to implement originally back in 2019. Plus I'm stuck doing things in stupid ways which was the best I could 6 years ago.
My professional game dev tip would be to make some standalone systems with reuse in mind (duh!) and then to not even try to adapt/build on anything else and instead just make it from scratch using the old code as a loose reference.
inb4 that's all obvious, you're too stupid to give advice. well okay but in case anyone's even dumber than me

You ever think about if modern computer architecture is wrong and because we can't change the standards, we're always running non-optimally with what we have? We could have much better video games if we abandoned all this bloat.

>>536609723
all irrelevant criticism. games will fail/succeed based on how appealing they are to gamers, not how efficient they are.

can you not post my roboco with your dumb posts please
thank you
next time post some progress if you want to post her

>>536609139
9-bit binary algorithmically scales better than 8-bit, yes

>>536609723
It's worth it switching to true/false for boolean because you can check it with a if !variable and feel like a super fivehead hackerman despite doing basically nothing.

>seeing some doing the dumb ass : ? shit in their code instead of a regular conditional statement
Stop.

>>536609723
That abhorrent dialogue system he made with the magic numbers is legitimately extremely retarded and must be contributing to the slowness of the development.

>>536606016
That's the power of the nepotism and knowing people who know people.

yandev shits again
btw this time there's this "code jesus" guy, what do you guys think? feels like they are just a same breed with diffirent forms

>>536610363
Doing a conditional statement requires you to make variable, you can set the value straight away with a ternary and make the variable a const instead. In a good code base you don't have any non-const variables

>>536610642
The fact that he calls himself Jesus is a bad sign to begin with.

>That abhorrent dialogue system he made with the magic numbers is legitimately extremely retarded
I agree, but these code reviewers constantly mix up good criticism with tiny nitpicks and use hyperboles to reinforce the latter for content.
>and must be contributing to the slowness of the development.
I think he just burnt out on working on the same project for so long.
Even if he had perfect code, I highly doubt he would have developed it much further.

>>536610642
Some of Coding Jesus's criticisms are out there.
For example, in pic-rel he criticizes Thor for using "magic numbers" and suggests using constructors instead. This was a big deal for him, because even an intern could do it better.
His argument for why it's bad is that you'd have to read the "implementation of the function" to understand what the values do.
However,
1) He can just hover over the method and get the signature in any modern IDE, so that's basically untrue.
2) He would have to declare 20+ different variables for each particle effect, which would create a lot of visual noise when he's fiddling with the numbers of the particle to make it look just right.
When you're playing around with numbers, it's better to have all the variables neatly arranged in a few lines instead of having to check where SpriteHealthArgumentXYZ is in your long list of variables.

>What is Roblox?

okay.... So I knew that I needed to be able to mix noise sources to crossfade, so the old camera movement system was trash, delete it. but first I'll save the custom camera shake sequences it has, they are stored as 24 FPS animation track .res files. Okay. So I found a new system that is already made called Shaker that has fade in / fade out already, and it is also already made to have multiple sources so it looks like a good basis. But it is using only sine waves and square waves, not recorded data.

So I looked at how it does it, shaker\data\Vector3\ has many types that derive from ShakerTypeBase3D, and it looks like the only method the need is get_value(time:float)->Vector3, okay easy, so I just have to create a custom one of these and drag my animation track in there and then index into it via time, interpolate the result, return it. queue 3 hours of godot animationplayer / animationlibrary / animation track "node paths" shenanigans later and I've got it all working. The built in animation looping doesn't seem to work unless it is inside an AnimationPlayer node and I am bypassing that so I had to implement looping myself with time=fmod(time,track_length)

I got to do work tomorrow morning so I'm going to have to stop here and do the actual transition mixing tomorrow as well as implement a pause menu, so it can have an options menu, so players can turn off the head bob on sprint feature

Also, the only way to work with animation library resources that I've seen, is to create a dummy animation player node, load the library into the player, then the player lets you edit the library, then you can save it and delete the animation player, you can't just edit the library in the inspector when double clicking the resource file...

>>536612320
>I agree, but these code reviewers constantly mix up good criticism with tiny nitpicks and use hyperboles to reinforce the latter for content.
Yeah, this irks me as well, and it waters down this otherwise very well placed criticism. Shit code makes software harder and slower to develop, and some code just is shit. However, there is a difference between shit code and and little short cuts that you can do as a developer in a small team working in a small project. That example in your pic might be completely fine, his dialogue system which is an ever expanding set of hundreds of lines of nearly unreadable shit is not good code in any project.
IMO all programming influencers are frauds. They have this very "memetic", social media kind of approach to a practical subject. The realities of software projects change wildly between different teams and types projects, so viral sweeping statements are always wrong. Of course it was really nice to see pirate software get called out because he was one of the biggest frauds.

Those dummies in the other thread complaining about Godot input handling were right. The explanation in https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.4/tutorials/inputs/inputevent.html#how-does-it-work is insanity. I feel like some tyranny here would have helped a lot.

>>536614081
It's actually easy because you just pick the highest one.

>>536607139
Arrays are just sections of memory.
It becomes more efficient to point to memory blocks at a certain point than to store thousands of unique variables.

>>536614081
haha oh man I had this EXACT issue, so I was starting to use G.U.I.D.E hoping that it was a smart choice, even though it seemed kinda sus so far, and then the anon was like "no dont use GUIDE its a POS" and I'm like, typical. But I already started so I keep going, and it works except for mouse X/Y movement, buttons and scrollwheel work but left/right doesn't... If I use usual code where you go
if event is InputEventMouseMotion:
rotation_degrees.y -= event.relative.x * mouse_sensitivity_h
camera_3d.rotation_degrees.x -= event.relative.y * mouse_sensitivity_v
camera_3d.rotation_degrees.x = clamp(camera_3d.rotation_degrees.x, -90, 90)

worked but GUIDE didn't, worked for everything else but not mouse. I eventually discovered it was because I have to set EVERY SINGLE Layout node (the green ones) to mouse ignore for GUIDE to register the mouse movements.... because they were lower on the scene tree or something, and blocking it. Or they get special treatment because they are Layout nodes or something, I don't know. Anyway, they were eating all the mouse input events and then GUIDE didn't trigger the turn left/right look up/down inputs for the character controller until I made them transparent to mouse input.

I want success from gamedev. You want a girlfriend. We are not the same.

>>536613998
Japanese girls only like spanish guys for some reason.

>>536614718
that's a s*reamer though. they're not of such low desirability as gamedevs because they're performers of sorts.

>>536614348
I don't get how the priority and traversals interact. Is it saying it's doing an entire traversal inside of each priority, or that it does a single traversal and for any given node the priority just determines which of the overriden functions is used?

>>536614460
I think you mean Control nodes, but yeah, I was fighting a similar thing and that's why I started looking into it. Their explanation about virtual function priorities and traversals breaks down once you bring in Control nodes, and the docs I linked just have a big blue box pretty much saying "Whoops, none of this actually applies to Control nodes". And then they also used this weird Control node behavior as a way to implement input support across multiple Viewports.

>>536614784
Actually I just want to make a good game, caring about success if frankly gross.
>>536614737
We should collab!

Shower thought: Anyone who doesn’t use Godot (or Unity/Unreal) is probably an autistic narcissist. Trying to make your own engine is not only a fools errand, you miss out on free promotion from an engine’s community like Godot which has one of the best communities. So many cute girls use Godot too

based eastern philosopher

>>536615030
you know what you could do?

You could just write your entire game as a godot engine module, you render to a texture that you assign to a fullscreen TextureRect, and you consume input events from godot, and you basically just use godot as if it were SDL

now you're still engine deving, but you also get to say your a godotoneer

you just know that chick has a beautiful soul

>>536615982
obviously you just pick the idea that would require the least amount of resources. for example, a platformer can already be a good game just by getting the movement of the character right, and the content is almost secondary if you really nail it. if just moving around the character in an empty space is fun, you basically already won.

>>536619436
Not falling for this again.
I’ve been doing enginedev, but I would also consider other options. Depends on the game to be made.

>>536620225
Thanks. But why Unreal Engine? I thought it was poopy, at least according to popular opinion.

>>536607139
Ok now do a repetitive operation on those variables. 100 variables and increase them all by +1.

Don't use an array, you'll make yandere dev blush.

>>536619919
It's the easiest of the major current game engines to acquire/start using since its Free Software nature allows anyone to freely distribute it you don't need to create an account/accept license agreements etc like other engines.

>>536620437
If you're new to gamedev and want to solodev yes Unreal is overkill.
Godot will save you a lot of headaches, Unity is also good since it has a lot of tutorials and resources.

it's less costly, it takes less time, less stress. amount of imagination and devotion is on you to decide. all the other things are superficial and ignorable, if you're a hobbydev anyway, like how marketable it is or if it's trendy. just like make game like it's 1999 or 2099 it doesn't matter we'll always have our game-making toys

>>536621842
yeah but everybody can make games nowadays
the market is saturated with shit
look how many indie games there are on STEAM

>>536621916
oh shit you right

>>536621513
back then you'd get filtered by your technical prowess or lack thereof
today you get filtered by the players not giving a shit about your game
probably the best time was 2010. there were plenty of guides on making games but the competition wasn't so brutal and AI was science fiction.

Why is vscode so ass with unreal.
Why do i have to get cucked by microsoft once again.

I got into dropshipping to deal with gamedev burnout

>>536622059
all things that matter only outside hobbydev. only you can make your dream game, even if the dream game is 98% similar to something existing, it's still yours and can still be enjoyable. years from now you'll be saying today was the ideal time, then ten years from then, etc etc

>The more I argued with them, the more I got to know their dialectics. First they counted on the ignorance of their adversary; then, when there was no way out, they themselves pretended stupidity. If all this was of no avail, they refused to understand or they changed the subject
when driven into a corner; they brought up truisms, but they immediately transferred their acceptance to quite
different subjects, and, if attacked again, they gave way and pretended to know nothing exactly. Wherever one attacked one of these prophets, one's hands seized slimy jelly; it slipped through one's fingers only to collect again in the next moment. If one smote one of them so thoroughly that, with the bystanders watching, he could but agree, and if one thus thought he had advanced at least one step, one was greatly astonished the following day. The Godoter did not in the least remember the day before, he continued to talk in the same old strain as if nothing had happened, and if indignantly confronted, he pretended to be astonished and could not remember anything except that his assertions

You missed the discussion, godot fucking sucks and is insane in how it handles input, 2D scaling and 2D physics. How anyone ever thought they could make a 2d game in this shit is beyond me, 3D by contrast actually works.

>>536622435
You know different people post in these threads right.
I'm not aware of any glaring issue in 2D with Godot, are you talking about the mouse inputs stuff from last thread?

>>536623479
>it will letterbomb your family
Does it actually do this? Im cynical enough to believe it would.

>>536623308
The software is free and open source so nobody can prevent you from doing something. However, you have to put this in a script and make it an autoload:
func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
print("NIGGER")

first round of recoil animations, need to work on projectiles next

I've decided that I just won't do anything about >>536616745 for now, until I discover what the proper way to handle that is

You couldn't just upload your game on steam for $100 back then. No one would even take a chance on you unless you had something really polished and was somehow able to pitch it to industry insiders. Or you had to market and distribute it yourself with your own store.

Alright. Main character is a lowpoly guy in leather armor with a cape (i will animate with bones) and a chainmail shirt/jerkin/cuirass.

He can wield a sword, shield, bow. He can jump, dodge roll and climb.

ETA for a beginner?

>>536627417
>i will animate with bones
4 years MINIMUM

>>536627417
unreal engine, 10-30 minutes because everything is pre-made for you.
YES your game will look like everyone else's YES it's going to run like ass YES it's going to be a horrific pain to manage any complex systems YES your game will flop.

but you'll have it done in 10-30 minutes.

>>536627627
>>536627567
I saw someone bake cloth sim to bones so it seems to work.

But he will be made from scratch. I don't even know how to subdivide the box in blender.
Gonna need a proper ETA

man these late 90s games are full of soul

>>536627752
you know nothing? 6 months to 2 years depending on how dedicated you are.

>>536627752
>I don't even know how to subdivide the box in blender.
i knew that the moment you said "animate with bones", 99% of animations are made by bones retard.
4 Years, most of that time will be learning, failing, and trying again.

>>536627882
That's unacceptable. Model + texture and rigging should be completed in less than a week. Another week for animation.

So, how to accomplish this?

it feels like I'm bullying chatgpt with the paragraphs of description

>>536628860

What the fuck Valve I thought it's 3-5 days for the store page review not 7+?!

made an itch page for my game but I can't find it when searching for it. Why? it has no porn nor even blood

>>536629049
You should call this Palatro.

>>536628196
To model something, you first need a 2D design. And to have a 2D design, you need to know how to draw.
After that, you’ll have to learn how to use Blender.
Finishing a 3D model without textures already requires experience in topology, UV unwrapping, rigging, and weight painting. If you mess up the topology, every step after that becomes harder, if not impossible, to get right (and good luck nailing it on your first try).
Only then do you finally get to work on textures. But if you somehow managed to get a 2D reference without knowing how to draw, guess what? Texture painting also requires drawing skills,arguably even more so if you’re working in low poly.
And after busting your ass learning all that, you’ll finally get to animate your bones!!! (you’ll also need to learn about control rigs, which are more complex to make than normal rigs, because nobody really uses normal rigs to animate anymore, unless they’re a jeet stuck in the 90s.)
this is the reason 80% games made by solo indie devs are pixelslop

>>536629365

no you don't. you can use real life references just fine. you can also easily use AI for reference now but I prefer real life photography.

>>536630080
read the whole thing retard

>>536630145
I did, you said many things that are wrong. Texture painting doesn't require knowledge of drawing, either. I use photos for everything you just need to know how to use photo editing software. I can't draw anything past a stick figure and I don't need to but I am good at photoshop/krita.

What is topology in low poly

For a dungeon crawling game that takes mechanical inspiration from BG3 and XCOM, how would you do traps?
I was thinking a "Trap Skill" or something, with a percentile chance, but I hated how it in XCOM 2 because it felt like it was out of my hands. Would minigames be a good idea? Something like the navigate the spinning circles thing that was in Mass Effect 1?

>>536631018
>you need drawing skills to draw textures.
Yeah to draw them you need drawing skills. you don't need to draw them, though this is completely optional most games now don't even use hand drawn textures anymore since it's all PBR.

>Substance Painter is a piece of software, why would you need drawing skills to use a software?
Corel Painter is just a piece of software
Photoshop is just a piece of software
Krita is just a piece of software
Clip Studio is just a piece of software

>>536631446
Anon already said he wants to make a low poly character. You shouldn't use PBR for lowpoly models, there is not enough geometry for the normal/roughness maps, most lowpoly games have to use hand drawn texture to not look like absolute shit.
PBR for characters works if you know how to sculpt (you need to know how to draw before that) + how to retopo + baking normals.

Utter noob here. Have my combat system planned out in a bubble. Should I go about coding it now? Or should I plot out the walking around bit next, and then do all the coding together?

>>536631609
So, just "x amount of seconds/turns to disarm"? Maybe a matrix where the number of seconds decrease/increase with levels of skill and levels of difficulty?

>>536632165
BG3 is cool, and because I'm using it and XCOM as inspiration doesn't mean it's a 1-to-1.
Also, the vast majority of Indians I've met are nice and gentle people, and only one of them had some sort of weird conspiracy theory that India used to have nukes in antiquity and were the descendants of Atlanteans.

>>536632393
Just AI generate hand drawn textures or simply don't use any at all and use vertex coloring. Again, what you're saying isn't a requirement. You're just too narrow minded and RETARDED.

>>536632693
okay sister, i will user your methods, i admit my defeat.
here is my first try at making a texture for the face of my new character on my dedicated photo-editing software

How the hell are you supposed to animate menus when some one can just resize the screen and fuck it all up?

Save yourself the trouble and set a fixed resolution.

>>536635695
I think you're talking about bitcrushing

>>536635090
Yeah because we won't get sent to jail for making fun of people.

>>536635786
It's a mobile game, there's no such thing as a fixed resolution.

>>536635154
>>536636054
The way I do it (on mobile and desktop) is I have an onResize() method and I figure out where the top/bottom/left/right on the screen is, and I position UI elements according to that every time the screen is resized including when it's first loaded.

I'm really not sure about the textured tileset. I think a simpler style may mesh better with the portrait.

>>536635829
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what it's called.
Will bit crushing sound effects also lead to that bass heavy feeling that sounds in older games have, or does that require bass boosting or something?
For example, low quality explosion sounds in old games sound powerful and thick.

>>536636450
>top/bottom/left/right on the screen

The character is cel-shaded, the wall is not. I know little about graphics programming, but I am guessing that there should be a few different approaches to making the wall background be cel-shaded in the final result, like transforming the texture itself before running the game, or doing so at game startup, or dynamically, or rendering parts of the scene more generally as cel-shaded, or something. I am not sure it is a good idea, but making it cel-shaded somehow might at least be an interesting experiment. If it is easy and quick for you to make the final result cel-shaded, please post a new image with the cel-shaded version, so it can be compared.

Are there games out there mixing cel-shaded and non-cel-shaded? I imagine there are. You can also take inspiration from such games.

You don't need to really track any player's personal info, just track stuff like "item picked up x times"

not legal advice but you will most certainly be sued if you collect information on gameplay without disclosing this, even if you claim it is anonymous, because it isn't, their isp knows who it is and you can be found culpable, but again i'm not really in a position to be offering legal advice and it would be folly to interpret this post as such, because that definitely and without question is not what it is, ie, legal advice (this post isnt that)

>>536647290
>not legal advice but you will most certainly be sued if you collect information on gameplay without disclosing this

Without disclosing what? If player A picks up an item X and the game records that the item X was picked up, with no personally identifiable information on player A at all, then why would that need to be disclosed? No PII is being transferred or stored.

Even IP addresses are classed as PII now under GDPR but I just don't think you would need to disclose anything like that if all you're doing is storing item stats and no PII.

But then again you might as well just have a terms & privacy policy button in your game somewhere that says you process that info just in case, better safe than sorry.

>>536647790
Anon, just tell the players you're spying on them. It's not rocket science.

>>536647790
>No PII is being transferred or stored
as far as (You) know. but why would you leave yourself liable? what if you fuck it up and the web service you're using fingerprints the users, gets compromised 6 months later and leaks their IP addresses and associated PII? then you're fucked. all because you couldn't put a little check box with a sentence next to it

Godot's team is brilliant at fundraising massive amounts of money (even from competitors) and tricking game developers into volunteering their time and money to them. And double dipping with their own company to support Godot games for consoles.

Does Redot have any such scams and schemes? If not, how would Redot have any chance of competing, or get compensation for their engine developers and others on their team?

Not really, no. They may not let you directly contribute to the engine, though if you're a being anti-trans or something but I don't care because I don't plan on contributing to the engine.

retard

Gonna say something controversial
I don't really get the point of FPS games and they kind of reek of low IQ. And here's where most people will kind of get upset, the same is kind of true about fighting games
I haven't been able to really get into either of these genres. First of all they're kind of freindslop, like the OG friend slop. And I can kind of go with it if it's a casual kind of things but it's just too many sweats
FPS is like the 50 IQ form of gaming a primitive evolution of the game pong, and I'm not even fucking joking. It's basically the same fucking thing. And if you even think about table tennis it's also too sweaty and friend slop. The pure friendslop derivative being beer pong
Now I'll give fighting games an IQ rating of probably 80-90. It does take thought, but I'm going to be honest I will absolutely never ever waste my fucking time learning combos so I'm just button mashing and frankly I still beat my friends who go to smash tournaments (friendslop)
Here's the thing though, FPS and Fighting are just completely natural things in games I like, like minecraft, skyrim, elden ring, darksouls, etc
I aim things in those games
I fight in those games
it's just primitive elements I expect for immersion. This is why doom mods go so far cause they acknowledge that there is still so much space left over to be created after the primitive element: angry guys shoots demons.
So as fightings games and FPS continue into the current year and the future they really aren't improving, they're just continuing to appeal to low IQs by adding dopamine addictions like gambling and skins.
and that's why Fortnite has been winning and COD has been dying, COD didn't improve historical or warefar accuracy like arma did, they didn't evolve into the gamba skinner box like CSGO, they didn't put in the gooner bait like fortnite. And now that roblox is fucking dead fortnite is going to have another chance to get even bigger becaue they understand that FPS is braindead. FPS is jumping

>>536650651
godot is free open source software
you can do whatever you want in it and they can't do anything
chudot vs wokot is just a matter of output
redot promised to fix problems godot refused to citing their funding of the community woke person and that shit as an example of misused resources but then redot didn't really do anything.

>>536651181

You’re too low IQ to even make a pong game just give up

To the anon who recommended this game itt
House of the dying sun is MID
The only great thing about it is sound design

guys thoughts on my idea?
every round you get a choice of 3 cards, then the game is fucking braindead for half the game, then suddenly there's a wall that's impassable unless your 3 cards happened to be the ones that make the game braindead easy

>>536651471
Not what I said at all, I implied it wasn't generally low IQ. I dunno maybe if you're a big brain autist all you play is sudoku, but personally as someone with an above average IQ I like to play fun games. I mean yeah I'm pretty good at sudoku and chess but they aren't as enjoyable as DS1.
Bonk builds are basically brain off switches for fromsoft games, and sometimes I like to turn off my brain but that doesn't mean I can't tell when a game is treating me like a retarded child, and I prefer games to just let me fucking have fun.
That being said the average IQ of eldensoulsborne and TES enjoyers is probably much higher than movie game fans.
also thanks for completely missing the point.

WTF. /agdg/ doxxed someone and drove him to suicide?

>>536651181
didn't read, but my problem with fps is that it's the only genre where players expect the core mechanic (aiming) to be easy. like, you cannot make an fps (or tps for that matter) where taking aim is actually supposed to be hard, for example if you're playing a very inexperienced gunman. no, every game has to give the player the exact same ability to pop heads, and if they don't, it's seen as bad. in my opinion for example, resident evil 4 (og) on console is a much more interesting game than on pc because first of all the cross hair and the camera are actually independent of each other, and taking aim actually requires you to take aim, instead of just twitching all over the place popping heads. but the modern gamer would NEVER accept this

>>536648951

>>536653018
decent argument but imo in those games it's not the handling of the weapon itself that's challenging, just calculating drop off and what have you which also becomes no problem in close quarters
>stalker
idk why you included that one, other than your gun jamming occasionally it plays like a twitch shooter.

>He allegedly killed himself
Pretty sure that anon is just making shit up. He showed up in the /v/ thread sometime after the doxxing, got harassed there and then stopped posting on the site. His site's been updated since so I'm sure he's doing fine https://ytcgame.com/hearthside-adventures/

>>536653637
y-you too

>>536653504
I'm pretty sure STALKER does the same but it's been over a decade since I played it so whatever. Regardless there's countless games that do this, Rising Storm and Insurgency are two more games. Resident Evil going from tank controls via camera to camera to third person to first person didn't affect the "IQ" of the games. It's a stupid argument. Splinter Cell 1-4 might be better arguments because the guns were supposed to be hot dog shit and in the new ones they made the guns work like modern day shooters and it destroyed the franchise by dumbing the game down too much. New Splinter Cell wasn't "low IQ" because it was third person it was low IQ because it incentivized shooting everyone instead of being stealthy. Regardless I think calling games "low iq" is fucking stupid because it implies high IQ video games exist and games like "dark souls" definitely don't fit that bill.

I found a market research report of visual novels.

I've been stuck for like a month, maybe I'm a bit over my head. I have a great menu/UI but I lack a game beneath. I need to figure out how to add some kind of story then I need to create a metaphorical carrot to get the player to play the game and want to go forward and maybe come back to play more the next day.

This all happened because I had an idea but didn't know how to implement/code it so the game started heading into different directions...

What do what do. I hate being a midwit.

I wanted to make a Dominions clone but I scope creeped real bad.
I mean the game itself was built over 20 years by some brothers anyway so it was pretty retarded for me to try by myself and think I can finish in a couple of years.

It seems the current meta of gaming is to make games for android.

PC seems like a legacy market.

>>536659984
Sure, but the thing you need to master is to hook up the audience with the first glanse/reading shirt synapsis
So like your average indie game but even harder

>>536659973
Yeah, all that and a shitton of stats, with a shitton of types (creatures, items, equipment, limbs loss system, luck/fate system) units armor corroding underwater unless they're bronze, units actually having a lifespan and growing old, gaining illnesses and whatnot, armor penetration, shields, magic shields. It all adds up to a lot.
And then comes the part where you have to add content, they have hundreds of spells and units, it took me months to make the art for just 10 units while having a job.

>>536659984
If the only creativity that you can muster is making a VN then you aren't cut out for this anyway

Why do I not like peak? Something about it I just don't find engaging past a single (1) run.
But why, it has all the systems I would like, setting camp, climbing with frens, a bunch of loot, why do I not like it? In theory, it should be my favorite.

My one theory is that the procedural generation is ugly. I'm not sure if that's it but I can't think of any other reason. Well another one would be lack of meaningful progression across runs, but maybe that tries into it, I don't want to play a game where I do runs, I want to just go on a journey with my frens. Like imagine going down a huge hole and the map is hand made and really nice (even if low poly) and also huge. And it would take days to reach the bottom, not just exactly 2h so I can't refund it.

>>536661103
not difficult at all, friendslop

>>536661103

>>536661103
>Why do I not like Peak?
You grew up with no friends and as a result developed an avoidant, antisocial personality based on performatively hating anything that’s widely popular and enjoyed by the masses in a desperate attempt to gain a feeling of superiority over those you see as having wronged you when you were younger.

Projecting. I played it once with my friends, you fucking schizo. I enjoyed helldivers with my homies much more and kept doing runs, whereas in peak I did two runs and quit halfway through the second one because I already did the whole game, it ended, there was nothing more to do.

yes for the orbitters, anyone else with a shred of sense knew it was worse than a flash game from the trailer. and it got dunked on for having (apparently very obvious) bot reviews

It does but it's the player getting raped.

Peak is peak.

>another follower on X
>it's another wannabe vtuber
>it's another artist pretending to be vtuber to find someone willing to buy their art
Is this common grift on X?

Is anyone able to give me a rational explanation for the disdain towards co-op games (i.e. “friendslop”), or is it just the usual mindless /v/tard contrarianism? The only explanation I’m able to come up with is that people who have no friends feel left out since they have no one to play these games with.
I see no reason to complain about the rise of casual co-op games. Personally, I welcome it with open arms after the last 10 years of every game trying to force some sort of sweaty competitive matchmaking. Gaming becoming less of a socially isolating activity and instead introducing ways to virtually hang out with your friends sounds like an overwhelmingly positive thing to me.

They're good in theory, but for me every fucking time I buy one of these dumb friendslop games we play once or twice and then never again before we've moved on to the next friendslop of the week.
I don't wanna keep buying games I'm only gonna play once or twice because there is no single player aspect to it.

>>536666865
Did you seriously write this out? what kind of argument do you think you're making? Do you really want me to list ten things I don't like about peak? I am making one single good argument and instead of engaging with it you want 9 more? You are a child.

Look at the tags, it's a roguelike. There are a hundred thousand 2d/3d roguelikes. There's no reason to play that over isaac or nuclear throne or one of the other hundred of popular roguelikes.

>>536665318
It's mostly 4chan's bias towards certain aesthetics. 4chan has a lot of edgelords who naturally hate any media that has a charming, friendly look to it in order to maintain their brooding anime villain facade. The majority of games that would be considered friendslop have that sort of look. By all intents and purposes Helldivers would fall under the label of friendslop, but 4chan widely loved that game when it released. The difference is that Helldivers was a gritty, sci-fi shooter that looks like it was actually designed for grown men and not toddlers (that and you can play it even if you have no friends).

TF2 is friendslop btw

no it costs nothing, it's just a "recommendation" you add on your game's steam page, and if you don't it'll get blocked in certain regions

Do you think having part of the EULA/TOS for a multiplayer game having the player in agreement forfeit their right to life where it legally allows me to hunt them down and kill them if they do anything involving children would hold up in court?

>>536668074
No idea why it's blocked for you. I live in Japan as well and can search up the game just fine.

>>536667287
Shazy is a very talented artist, one of the best this general has had, but never seemed to grasp the fact that if the main appeal of your game is its visuals then you need to get it in front of as many eyes as possible if you want it to succeed. In other words, shill it on social media.

NO you can't just post a reaction image. OPINION INVALIDATED and I'm telling your mother that you were RUDE and you said the NWORD.

All my projects failed because they are to much work.

I decided to do something as simple as possible and it landed on hacking idle game. You basically upgrade your computer/botnet/server farm to hack bigger and bigger targets.

Would anyone buy such a game on steam for 5 bucks if it had few hours of gameplay?

>>536667654
I think double digit review games is pretty achievable for any hobby level game you almost for fun. Above triple digits is when things start getting serious and you start to see people trying for serious attempts at popularity and massive money.

You are a faggot

I'd rather kms than play idle garbage. Imagine having so little self respect

>>536669886
uplink was fun though, that's one of inspirations.

It will be more automatic though, it's supposed to be one of those incremental idle games. They contain very little gameplay so I think I should be able to wip it out pretty quick.

>>536670117
I lost all self respect by working on games since forever and never releasing any.

You should try actually making video games instead of coming here to LARP as a game dev, or even better go back to your containment board and stay there.

i look like this

any boydevs? :3

All I'm saying is that most people should be the last ones talking about what is and isn't good

how hard is it to change the pitch or speed of a sound effect in something like godot or unity?
as an enginedev it takes me an infinity out of time because there are zero exampled of how to do it on the entire internet and whoever wrote these SDL libraries just assumed i'd be able to change the 0s and 1s of an audio file exactly how i'd need to

>>536671363
Lmao

>>536667287
ugly trannygame

>>536671898
>as an enginedev
We are making games here...

>>536671898
Godot has in AudioStreamPlayer pitch.
High value makes sound go higher and faster, low opposite.
Idk how to make sound last less but not higher or higher but not faster since pitch changes both

>>536672380
Doing that requires stretching. Should be easy for you, I'm sure you know all about stretching.

>>536671807
No, only this-likes >>536660625

odds I dev evens I take another edible and keep gooning for an extra hour or two

>>536672662
you should consider heroin, fentanyl, and horse tranq.

it's not fair

tell me your sales funnel strategy, your SEO strategy, your brand awareness strategy, your Ideal customer psychological profile, your SAO strategy, and your hopes and dreams solutions copywriting strategy.

Do enginedevs really

>>536670152
all good idlers have active gameplay sorry pal

>>536671898
Its probably more simple than youre making it but you are suffering the consequences of trying to make a game engine before you git gud at comp sci in general.

>>536673189
>your SAO strategy
I only watched first 2 season when they were aired, is it over?

Yes, I will never release a game and I'm ok that fact.

i was gonna post progress but uh
>2-3 progress posts in a 580 post thread
i'm good, cya chumps

>>536673859
The real games were demos we made along the way

>everyone just developing their games in secret now
Who is to blame for this

>>536674205
This is a zoomer/gen alpha problem. I remember back in the day the only time you got to see a sneak peek of a new game was in magazines or during commercials. You didn't use to get the instant gratification of seeing games being made in real time.

>>536673189
>sales funnel strategy
idk what that is
>your SEO strategy
idk what that is
>your brand awareness strategy
idk what that is
>your Ideal customer psychological profile
18-24 year old attractive female who desperately wants to meet her favorite game developer (me) and has fantasies of him falling hopelessly in love with her to the point that she’ll dress up as the characters in his game when she goes to meet him in person

>I remember back in the day the only time you got to see a sneak peek of a new game was in magazines or during commercials
I remember getting super excited for Spore when it was initially being shown off in magazines only for the final game to look nothing like what was shown. I distinctly remember this screenshot from the creature creator showing a werewolf looking creature with a complex mane of fur on its back. Nothing that would eventually be achievable in the actual creature creator.

>>536674205
game companies have been stealing our games lately with the latest victim being pogodev

>>536673189
I also don’t know what half this shit means, but my strategy is to make a simple game with appealing characters that I release for free or extremely cheap. Then I make millions selling merch and figures of the beloved characters and live off of that money for the rest of my life. In other words, what Helltaker did. That’s my plan.

I created the game. It has hack button that adds 10$ to the money.

This is basically the gist of those idle games. Now I only need to improve it without worrying about finishing it, since it's already finished.

>>536675631
wow!!! when can I refund this slop?

>>536675523
>He expects to get free downloads without a SAO and SEO strategy

i'm gonna advertise my game by abducting homeless people and tattooing my games name on their forehead and releasing them after.

Everyone, pencils down, somebody made an actual video game https://store.steampowered.com/app/2447680/Island_Notes/

Can't believe your so far ahead of my idleslop. I had to spend 18 hours learning win32 and all I have is a window

>>536675753
> wow!!! when can I buy this amazing game?
In a few months most likely.

What do you guys think about setting. 90s CRT/matrix like or neuromancer with cyberdecks and such?

>>536671898
In raylib this is just void SetSoundPitch(Sound sound, float pitch);

>>536676305
whatever you do i'm copying. keep up the progress, friend.

>>536675631
a good idle game is unironically one of the most challenging game design problems to ever solve, the scopecrepe here is insane.

>>536674559

All the crap about making games in order to be successful enough to find women is just shitposting right? No one actually thinks that's how it works, right?

Who came up with the "menus"/"parkour" game classification scheme? I've actually found it pretty useful for guiding my game's design.

>>536674205
Extremely low thread quality.
Caused by increased frequency of posting. The faster a thread moves, the more the worst posters feel emboldened to make low quality posts.
The shitposting isn't even fun anymore, it's literally schizo shit.

Also grindset anons get mindbroken by the reality that there's no money to be made here and it destroys them.

I got my 2D open world crime sandbox running playably in a browser with only minor situational hitching that is usually barely noticeable. Feel free to try it out! Keyboard+mouse controls with gamepad support coming soon, potentially even today

>>536676582
I don't have the heart to tell you the truth.

>>536646319
holy erotic

>>536676305
Necromancer is less played out

I can model, texture, rig and animate a simple, low-poly character in one day instead of three now!

>>536677545
mogs me desu

Are you the cat anon? I wanna see, I need to feel bad about myself for motivation purposes.

wip
are kissable enought?

>>536677860
No, I have nothing I am willing to show sadly. I might make something just to show /agdg/ tomorrow and not actually put it in my game.

90s CRT/matrix like necromancer who rises the dead through alter history less shitty LLMs

>>536678130
smooch
>>536678287
just fuckin screen shot I'll show you my unfinished shit that will never be finished

> a good idle game is unironically one of the most challenging game design problems to ever solve, the scopecrepe here is insane.
Is it though. All the biggest problems I had in gamedev had to do with realtime systems. Idle games are just UI and math. Never had issue wuth any of those.

>>536677351
> Necromancer is less played out
Yeah, but there is going to be a show next year. It might be good because people will want to play a game with similar vibes or bad if people who didn't know it discover it and there will be flood of games inspired by it.

>>536661103
You don't want Peak. What you want is an actually GOOD Made in Abyss game made by a competent company. The aesthetics and world building of Made in Abyss is quite literally the most perfect story you could adapt into a video game. Get Tsukushi on board as a long term employee and you got yourself a game that would easily compete with heavy hitters in both the Indie and AAA space.
