I'm doing things in Blender.

>>536872958
I'm envious. I'll need to consider this. My efficiency is incredible, and I'm super productive, but nearly every single day, I end my work session completely mentally exhausted, to the point where it's beginning to feel unhealthy.

I think I found a very reliable method to measure wishlist "weight"
for those who don't know, wishlist weight is the concept that different wishlists have different rates of conversion based on where they came from and what motivation the steam users had for wishlisting the game

If your game has an unusually low wishlist deletion rate that means the wishlists are more likely to convert

My game has a 4% deletion rate. Check your rate right now

It sounds like you could just take things easier a couple days a week instead of going full retard, but up to you. Let us know how it goes.

>>536873492
stop trying to game a shit dysfunctional system and just work on your game

Hmm, I see you're a fan of the "indie" genre of games... oh... and you like the "3D" genre too...? That's interesting... I know a couple games in that genre too, you ever heard of... Peak? Or... maybe... REPO? Those games are pretty similar to the "indie" and "3D" games you like playing... check em out?

>>536874000
All those fucking words. Just say "We're moving the date to not compete". No one gives a shit

>>536874000
i hope every toesucking dev who does this flops lol

dey scared of a FVARKING shartformer LMFAOOOOOOOO
couldnt be me young blud

>>536874158
Oh and by indie I mean "sort of low budget, in stray's case not even."

>>536873718
That's also a good idea. My game's almost done. I'll finish this, and see how things go. It's always hard to avoid burnout during the final stages of development.

this unfair jobby where nepobabies and gambleslop devs win, why should i respect it?

>>536874000
when will someone rise against millionaire devs and companies ruining other peoples livelihoods by shadow dropping big games on top of everyone else?

>>536874475
>indie
>uses a AAA outsourcing studio for the graphics
stray is gay

>>536874713
Because if you actually respected it you would have made something that's strong enough for all that to not matter

>>536872486
WRONG I do exactly the opposite, wrestle with it constantly trying to make something that isnt a 3d walking sim/shooter

>>536872153
I tried it. it's fucking useless. if your request isn't some pedestrian shit like put a man next to a couch, you will get nowhere.

>>536874713
Name one jobby where this isn't also the case.

oh my fucking god, the street team marketing on this shit is unreal. Like who tf is their agent? surely it wasn't this guy >>536872764 was it? I doubt you'd get all these gamedev companies infiltrated and delay the launch of their game just to push the false narrative that there is megahype for your own game as a part of its marketing strategy in return for just a steam key

>>536875623

Yes, you are right. There is nothing to see here.

Anyone have a crash course on sound design?
When using sounds from freesound or whatever what do I need to watch out for?
What is equalization?
I feel like it's very easy to fall into some traps without realizing you're doing shit very wrong

>>536876450
my favorite streamer and nepobaby love those!!!!

>>536876450
That way I feel lime I'm smart without actually making any meaningful choices :D! Oh it's round 7/10 and I lost because suddenly the goal jumped up 60%? Damn this game is tough, but I'll win next time!

63000 REWIEWS FOR A COOP (friendslip) CLIMBING GAME?! IN 2 MONTHS?!?!

>>536876749
Look man, just because it has TWO publishers doesn't make it not indie, you LOVE INDIE GAMES, BUY IT!

>>536876813
Just get a publisher then. If you can't get a publisher your game probably just sucks

>>536876930
This, why doesn't /agdg/ understand that you MUST give 80% of your revenue away to middlemen that happen to run the game.

>>536876749
It is a perfect game for streamers, and probably a decent game to play with friends.

>>536876749
as a kid, i would build forts with my friends and neighbors kids in the woods, we'd climb to the tops of trees, build crossbows etc. I imagine these games are filling that gap/need in the kids these days, now that having a childhood is illegal.

This but working in a sweatshop with my bros for Lethal Company

>>536877305
To be fair, it is Silksong.

I can't wait to play some inner circle games.

If you build a multiplayer co-op game for 2 players, how easy is it to make it single player code-wise, is it as simple as not having a second player join or does the single player mode need its own code?

For the purposes of the example consider that the game is built in a way where the second player is not important and there are no complex multiplayer systems that need tracking, something like Mario 3D World where it's just another person on the same screen as P1 that can drop in and out whenever with no consequences

>>536877558
Well, technically you dont have to make any changes, you still let it create the lobby just dont let anyone join.

>>536877558
Start with Pong (network multiplayer edition).

Is it weird I want to kill every slopdev?

>>536877876
Yeah

>>536877876
Yes of course it's weird, me personally I like to work hard to make good games and raise the bar for indie gaming in general so that slop devs can't even get any sales anymore, this way they have to return to their minimum wage jobs to afford to live as they have no other marketable skills or enough money to start a family and reproduce.

One person finally added my game to a collection on itch.io!

>>536877876
It's normal as in common in the sense that most people are red goats who can't help but seethe about those more successful than themselves. You will never be successful.

If I want to be a famous game dev in the future, would it be more humiliating if I worked at McDonalds or if I made some cashgrab games?

>>536875880
Where can I test its abilities? I have an idea

Gabe Newell is the King Crab.

>>536877876
No.

>>536878129
The garbage collection?

>>536878158
No one will judge you for working an honest job to get by
Everyone will judge you if you're a game dev who slops it up and then suddenly decides he wants to get serious.
They'll look at your previous titles and nope the fuck out

>>536878158
It would be far more humiliating when your parents finally kick you out of the basement and you, a coddled manchild with zero survival instincts, end up dying in a park somewhere and some kids find you covered in your own shit and piss. That the life path you've chosen.

>>536876102
chadgpt to the rescue.

/agdg/ devs really have the most extreme cases of Stockholm syndrome and trying-too-hard-to-fit-in syndrome and too-weak-to-do-anything-but-align-themselves-with-whoever-they-see-as-the-most-powerful-in-this-exact-moment syndrome

much like twitterdevs

>>536878357
Yeah I was thinking that.
I actually wanted to do both (McDonalds Job and slop it up, maybe ill get lucky and win the slop lottery). I wonder if it's possible to make an LLC on a friend's name and never have those games connected to me.

>>536878554
me when there are 3 options

>>536878601
Twitterdevs are S tier
Aggy are amat
Tiktok devs are slop

>>536878618
Yeah you could just release the sloppa under a pseudonym if you're dead set on that

I align with myself.

>>536878618

>>536879000
Unlikely.

>>536879000
Until the day I can get free female voice acting for my game from here I will not believe there is a single female here.

>>536879000

/agdg/ "devs" are mostly women

>>536879000
only spiritually :3

>>536879000
If that's true, why haven't any offered to be my girlfriend?

/agdg/ "devs"are mostly "women"

>>536877558
If you build it smart you make the multiplayer and then the singleplayer is just multiplayer but having only one player.

1 in every 100 children on Earth was on Roblox during it's highest concurrent user count
how do we save the children?

Boys, I have acquired coffee. And immediately burnt myself because I fucked up putting the lid on. I'm taking it as a good omen.

>>536878554
holy fucking KEK

>>536879182
obviously your game is not good enough

>>536879898
He is my target audience. Him specifically.
If you aren't making a game for the tastes of a specific streamer, what's the point?

Imagine being some pasty ass manlet biclops and brainwashing millions of children into a gambling addiction. This nigga's going straight to hell.

>>536879000
animetroons don't count as devs or women

>>536877490
omfg shut the fuck up
its sidescrolled slop #40521125

>>536877305
That game has already made
>Gross revenue: $3.7m ($2.6m - $4.8m)
in early access.

My writer wanted to have a sort of "inner monologue" when the player dies in a puzzle. I didn't want to pause the game on each death and have a "press A to continue" thing, so trying out a floating thought bubble box. It automatically dismisses after a few seconds, and moves out the way if you go near it.

Not sure how often to have it appear: every time or once every x deaths. Either way, will be in the demo day so will see if people think it's a good bit of character building or annoying popup jank.

Serious question, why are Hollow Knight and Silksong so hyped up? I played Hollow Knight and I didn't think it was that special.

>text I have to READ in 2025
AHAHAHAHA

>>536849538
My big issue is that I wanted to make a multiplayer flight game. And flight requires going fast and being off the ground. Unreal Engine's multiplayer component falls into an autistic fit and starts aggressively rubber-banding you if you're either fast or off the ground.

>>536880764
that's what you get for using unreal

Now I wonder why not a single indie has made a curiosity collection house in UK in the 16-17 century.

Basically a 17 century antropology game.

>>536880886
A very vocal fanbase that will scream at you for any opinion other than thinking Hollow Knight is the best game in the entire world
Also, every Nintendo Direct for the past what, 8 years or so? the Hollow Kniggers spam the fuck out of the chat with "SILKSONG SILKSONG SILKSONG" so the kids picked up on it and echo it

it's so fucking disgusting how people fall for the hype. it has 4x more CCU than it ever had during its 8 years of existence because MILLIONS of easily impressionably HUGE FANS are excited to play it for the first time.

>>536880974
Well, multiplayer game idea with decent graphics where I need to build literally every conceivable system and thing relating to video games to realize my vision led me to Unreal. Because, as one guy with no coding experience who gets demoralized doing pointless tasks that don't lead anywhere, the idea of being able to latch on for the trip through the atmosphere and being able to figure out how to divert course back into a stable orbit or else burn up catastrophically appealed to me.

It's on a -50% off sale right now, and a lot of people are replaying it to prep themselves for the sequel's release.

>>536881705
I'm not a grouch. I just want to know why it's suddenly such a big deal.

>>536881650

>>536880886
Plays good
Looks good
Sounds good
Has a ton of content for a reasonable price

I played it and didn't like it much either but you're silly if you can't see the appeal.

>>536881946
Literally me.

>>536881880
If you want to know why it's *suddenly* a big deal, it's because the Silksong hype came to a pitch after the release date announcement compounded by the fact that it was announced only two weeks before the date

If you know why it's always been a big deal, it's because it's one of the masterpieces of indie gaming and if you can't feel that when you're playing it something's wrong with your brain.

>>536880837
It's kinda annoying how it pops but I don't know how I'd fix it. Maybe just floating text outlined a bit, with no huge bubble?

guerilla marketing

>>536881121
cris your nodev ideas are shit

Godot dropping Windows 7 with 4.5 is kind of a shame. The total usage may not be that high, but people playing indie games are way more likely to have old computers with old Windows that probably aren't even counted in usage stats because they might not even have Steam installed.

>>536880837
>>536882219
Give it a tween from off-screen, or maybe growing out of the players head?

That's another option too is to attach it as a thought bubble, rather then a detached window.

>>536881650
you'd learn to code faster than the time you spend trying to wrangle unreal to do anything that isn't your basic bitch fps/tps

the entire ordeal of using unreal is the pointless task that doesn't lead anywhere

>>536880837
gets in the way of gameplay

give your writer the boot you don't need him

my game has yet again not been featured on 5 Games Made in Godot To Inspire You...

>>536873110 (OP)
Got multi-select and single select working. Next on the list will be a basic attack function, but now it's time for eggs and samiches.

Windows situation is an absolute disaster, basically everyone is dropping Win7 support even though all later editions are just worse. It is primarily MSFT that dropped the ball here.

>>536880837
Make it way smaller. Consider the witty catch phrases Risk of Rain throws at you on death (so far less often). They are not very prominent on the screen, but witty enough.

>>536882964
you're ideaguying settings without any thought to the gameplay and you've been posting similar shit ideas like that for weeks now

>>536882352
That's sad. I used Win7 well past EOL.

>>536880837
Better if it's kind of like a quick darksoulsyoudied type thing while the level "reloads"

In short making any game without any programming knowledge at all is going to be hard work. It's doable, but it's going to frustrate you.

Pick any engine that has visual scripting, look at how to use visual scripting for that engine; that's it.

wow, glad i paid for that writer to write that text, where would i be without him. oh yeah, i'd probably be working on the next room because i wouldnt be busy programming this retard's retarded idea that i already know is disruptive and stupid.

if you aren't already a writer of some stripe why are you even making a video game, i dont get that. like you have to have a fully realized mental world representing the entire finished product to you in general outlines and be motivated by the living spirit of that world you have unlimited and relentless drive to realize - but oops idk what any of my characters say or do

>>536880837
Make that shit way smaller. I can't help but cram my shitty writing into my game, but I at least make it easy to ignore

>>536885163
it's best not to think about that shit. i wanted to buy in 2011 when it was 10 dollars a pop but i was underaged and didn't have access to my bank account, and my father thought it was a scam. by the time i was 18 it had 100xed to 1000+ and i was too pissed to ever get into it.

could have had 50 million dollars today, could have gotten mt goxed or robbed or something. best not to think about that shit.

>>536881880
Suddenly? My man, people haven't shut the fuck up about Silksong for years. Youtube regularly spammed me with "X days since Silksong news" tripe for years despite me never engaging with it. If anything we can be thankful that in a couple months we'll rarely have to hear about it ever again. Aside from the couple schizos in here that will tear their hair out about it daily

If it makes you feel any better, you would have most likely sold when it did a 10x or 50x thinking it's not gonna get any higher, and then hang yourself when it reached 100k.

Make it a thought bubble over the characters head and make it a symbol or smaller, shorter text.

>>536884601
It's hard to make good games when you don't want to make generic slop.

>>536886720
oh woops, no problem, its just that i almost opened up godot and started working on something
we dont want that

>>536885635
At least you forever get to told you so your dad.

>>536886345
>you would have most likely sold when it did a 10x or 50x
You're probably right about that. I didn't have a good grasp of money back then. Just hurts to think that making a couple smart decisions back then would've led to being set for life in terms of money.

>>536886345
I feel that the best strategy would be selling just enough to recuperate initial investment and let the rest marinate. If it was 5x I'd probably sell 20% and leave the rest, in the first case scenario 50%. I don't think you'd be all that sad when you have 25 mln but you potentially could have 50 mln in that one perfect scenario

Already tried dynamic sizing, but it was becoming far too complex for a test feature. Settled on this fixed size, but you're all right; a smaller default size would probably be better.

>>536883513
Considered full screen messages but feel like it would slow down the game too much. These are puzzles that can take seconds to solve/fail, so adding in a second or two "you died" screen would be annoying.

no dude i was in my 14 year old ancap phase, i fully believed it would go to 1 million, as a 14 year old when the coin was at 10 dollars. it was going to be the future, where people can be free and buy drugs without government oversight when the surveillance machines would ramp up, which we can see today with all of the online safety acts lol

i don't really like the way cryptocurrencies are used today, they're endorsed by governments and all of the criminals get tracked easily because the systems have been solved. it doesn't really have a use outside of crime so it doesn't have value objectively, so you might as well own air.

even though it's now legitimized it's actual value proposition is lower than in 2011. what's the point of owning bitcoin if you can't sell it to criminals?

>>536887035
Even something simple like buying 10 dollars worth of bitcoin every month starting in 2011 would've led to so much fucking money. Basically anyone could've afforded that much investment.

If there's one thing I've learned from my current project it's the need for more rapid dev testing. I'm practically a speedrunner from how quick I've gotten at running through particular levels for debugging

>>536887657
the right way to play any crypto after bitcoin is to buy like 1000-10000 of it when it costs nothing and then dump if it ever spikes

if you're not in early enough it's pointless

I could've made a small investment that wouldn't have affected my day to day. Even if it had been for nothing it would've been some change out of my pocket.

OI YU GOTTA LOIYSCENCE FOR'DAT GRID PATTERN

>>536886681
Yeah, me too. I don't actually care about if the server replicates player movement accurately, so I might be able to get away with turning replication off. Or throttling it somehow. My issue may come down to the individual object-associated replication of the location of what I'm trying to move. If the multiplayer server is blind to my bullshit, I can get away with it.
>doesn't this make it really easy to cheat?
Yeah. Also, after testing it before posting, it totally disables the appearance of movement for other players. So I'd have to independently re-blueprint all movement with independent replication calls. But doing this would, in theory, allow me to bypass the CMC entirely. Or, in theory, I could mess with object variables and then down-throttle them in the code with harsh replication in the thought that the server won't blink at a player zooming around because it's been told that them jumping 10 stories high is normal.

>>536888501
Maybe write your own netcode at this point.

>>536888685
Yeah, that's what making a new CMC with blueprints would basically entail. I'd be circumventing the entire system put in to deal with this by building a custom one that actually works off of the blueprint system rather than existing a layer beyond it.

Just make it cool, don't appeal to Zoomers directly. If you don't think its cool enough by your own standards, consider a new mechanic, a new area type, a new lore arch, something like that.

Game development is pointless because you're in competition with half the population of India as well as the well-funded nepo babies of coastal elites.
Your singular hope of success comes in the notion that you're of the 0.1% that actually possesses the capacity to put forward a unique idea, an interesting premise, or something fundamentally human. Because I look at upcoming games. A lot of them look visually amazing, but what is the game, actually? It's a space shooter where you fight the bugs from Starship Troopers and various other things 1:1'd from various other popular franchises. How thrilling.

Is there no Chinese word for toast?

Almost there.

>>536898904
Knowing the chinks the literal translation is probably "sunburned bread" or something

>>536898904
yes, but i thought just leaving it as toast would be fine. japs would like this, so maybe the chinese will too.

the less cognitive effort your game requires, the more likely it is to be received positively

>>536899072
Close. It'd be 烤面包 (lit. baked bread or maybe "rebaked" bread)

I assumed you were adding this support yourself because you were Chinese. Can the publisher not hook you up with a translator?

>>536898904
>>536899072
>>536899346
There’s a phonetic loan word (tu-si) but at that point you might as well just write “toast” in Latin letters since people already know what it is.

Because gamedev is a lottery. It's 100% chance. You either make it or you don't. A game that no one wants to play deserves an equal chance at success as a game that people want to play. If you disagree, you're a nepobaby skinnerbox son of a boeing engineer banquet for fools.

>>536901143
There is no such thing as luck. The world is deterministic and perfectly follows cause-effect chains, meaning the world is perfectly just: everything that succeeds deserved to succeed and everything that failed deserved to fail. “Luck” is just the inability of those with small minds to see the full causal chain that led to the success.

>>536902040
yeah fucking loser if you just saw the causal chain you could have predicted you'll get leukemia and die at age 4 then you could have prevented yourself being born. skill fucking issue. the world is just.

>>536907015
Why not both? The intro after the splash screen can be some light worldbuilding to get you into the setting, and then the intro when you start the new game can introduce you to the characters and their direct locale.
Personally I always thought it was cool when games had two "attract screens", you used to see it a lot with PS1 games. If you wait around, you get the first one, and then if you wait around again you get the second one.

After using the most advanced sci fi technology, which boils down to talking to chat gpt, I'm starting to design a town of 256 waifus in a realistic JRPG.

So first I need to design the minimal amount of realistic types of jobs I need for an IRL town.
After extensive research, chat gpt helped me to come up with this list.

>>536908909
Post character designs

>>536908930
The issue is that, if it has been figured out before, the documentation is very, very poor. It has to have been, as there's no way to advance any project involving nonstandard motion without doing so. Because the general advice is to just learn and utilize C++ to rewrite part of the engine.
Explaining the issue. Each red box is the server throwing a fit because the character was not where it expected it to be. Thus, it rubber-banded the character back down. The issue is that the character was utilizing a jetpack and each little tick there should've represented a growing pattern of steady vertical momentum. There is apparently, nor has there been for a decade, any way to get Unreal Engine to engage in nonstandard movement for a multiplayer game without ripping the engine itself open and manually programming around the issue in C++.

I used aggy voice acting in my game and fairly paided all my actors with (You)s

>>536909892
If so, I have no fucking idea how they implemented them.

>>536909123
Shut it, you are a nigger

>>536910240
Oh wait. Fortnite uses a custom version of the Unreal Engine with in-built functionality not present in the consumer engine. That's part of the point of UE6, I believe. To bridge that, as UE5 is basically alien to what Fortnite is actually running on at this point.

>>536909009
>25 dollars

>>536909009
I see you also watched that day old steam games video

>>536910173
When I asked if anybody wanted to voice in my game, nobody answered...

>>536910094
No.

are those old 90s texture pack cds on archive allowed to be used or does someone still own the rights?

>>536911098
Why?

>>536891029
Stop posting here, you useless fuck

>>536910541
Kek, enginebabbies get the shaft - again.
What was the last publicly available engine that actually had a decent game shipped on it by the same studio?
>>536911137
Isn’t the whole point of the texture pack cd that you are granted commercial usage rights of the textures? What else would these cds be good for?

>>536909009
>>536910639
It’s by some scammy consulting agency, they probably make their customers or their interns buy it.

>>536911451
yeah but we didn't buy the cds if they're just on archive org so we don't have the rights technically even if they're abandonware

>>536911137
>>536911451
You need to have actually purchased the CD to have the license to use the textures commercially. If you got the textures off some archive site without owning a license to use the textures, you can’t use the textures.

>>536911137
Just don't say where you got it from.

>>536911781
how would they know doe?

>>536911880
Someone will recognize the textures and ask you to show that you own a license to use them, and after you admit that you don’t have a license, the rights owners will sue you for copyright infringement.

>>536912179
>Someone will recognize the textures and ask you to show that you own a license to use them, and after you admit that you don’t have a license, the rights owners will sue you for copyright infringement.

>>536909291
literally everyone uses git and you don't want to be trapped in the unity ecosystem anyway

>>536911781
the question is who owns the rights now? this shit hasn't been for sale for more than 20 years.

they're not even good but it would be cozy somehow to use the same textures as san andreas and need for speed underground 2 and heck even sonic adventure i'm pretty sure

>>536912179
>Someone will recognize the textures and ask you to show that you own a license to use them
You're overestimating the amount of people playing your game who'd recognise those assets. Most people don't even look at game textures during play, let alone study them. The autismos that do likely won't play your game either, or if they do, it will be long after you give a shit.

>>536910830
Cause you need to do casting you can't just randomly ask if people want to maybe be a voice in your game.

>>536912695
Doesn't casting require actual money doe? I don't have thatt.

>>536911956
Holy fuck, this mogs cris

>>536912851

hey aggy I need voice actors for the character known as bokube

Stop using that, makes no sense. At least use something like this

Honestly geography has like a dozen amazing ideas for new original games.

You know what I never see anymore? Proselytizers or I guess some would called them evangelists.
I think it's cause young people are too hard to win over. Because young people are just too smart and too jaded.
And I don't even just mean muh r/athelism midwittery.
Zoomers an Millennials are the most educated generations to ever exist as much as boomers want to shit on them for incompetence (even though that's 110% boomer's fault), they have access to all of the world's knowledge. I mean boomers used to assault and abuse people for being nerds and now they are complaining that young people aren't as smart as Chinese PhD farms. Nascent parenting.
But basically I am sort of a christian, I've read the bible and analyzed my favorite parts deeply. I say sort of because I suppose an intuitive symbolic space rather than being a biblical literalist because it's more defensible to say the goal of christianity is transmutation of the psyche rather than "be bad go to fire hole." I also take from other sources too that aren't christian like the greeks.
So if an evangelist came to my door they wouldn't be able to handle me, they would have an easier time dealing with a reddit atheist.
I'm literally TOO SMART to be a Christian and I'm not even an atheist.
Anyways that's what my game is about, being too smart for religion. The whole thing is a critic of modernity actually but I hope it's not misinterpreted as a critic against religion itself just because it involves religion and malign religious agents.

Idea guys, have any suggestions for in-game books?

>>536890912
Some other indie devs I talked with mentioned this. People don't wanna be dropping at the same time as some big name game. Kinda sucks how secretive some of these studios are when they don't have to be.

>>536880886
Without playing it, and having seen other people play it, I don't understand at all why it's popular but I'm not gonna buy and play a game that doesn't look fun just to try and understand.

>>536915897
that would be cool if you actually made games, Cris
you have a 1000 ideas you tell us and 0 (finished, non-prototype games) to show us

>>536917084
it's literally only popular because it's popular
what originally caused it to become popular and none of the other 20k depressionlike 2d platformers, only god knows

>>536917036
In game books are fan service, only do it if you have stuff to say that doesn't fit well into the game naturally.

>>536911357
Because a right doesn't cancel a wrong.

Being called a genius is like being called the N-word
I'm just going to say this hot take but frankly it's exactly the same maybe ever worse. I hate it when people call me a genius. How am I supposed to respond to that?
It's like they're alienating me from the species, saying "you're not one of us." Maybe if they said geniuses get free handjobs I'd feel better about it.

What sort of topics and subjects should a female character be interested in that would make her more attractive to the player?

>>536917281
Asking why Hollow Knight became popular is like asking Super Mario Bros became popular. It was there first. Simple as that.

My open source erotic monster girl traditional ASCII roguelike will be a bit hit, surely...

I have reached 100%. Plenty of bugs still left to solve and some features to integrate with modern systems but I at least have an implementation of every single function compiling and mostly working. https://streamable.com/f56o8j

>>536917845
I mean basically in the past the N word was like dehumanizing it was like the white man saying "hey you're farm equipment" but it's be reabsorbed culturally and now black people say it to each other all the time meaning something different now.
But genius has similar dehumanizing connotations.
Except there has never been a movement or support for geniuses. Instead we're put into the number fields and told to count the beans real good.

>>536918290
it wasn't even there first
isn't it the same thing as shovel knight? they even copied the title. it's a 2d platformer about "x knight" released three years later. it's ridiculous.

how shovel knight got popular, even bigger mystery. what a pretentious reddit lolsorandom title. xD our main character is a knight but his weapon is a common household tool xDDDD isn't that so spork of doomy xd

>>536918345
Genius is a compliment. There’s never been a movement to support geniuses because the whole thing about geniuses is that geniuses don’t need support.

And yes highly intelligent people with strong pattern recognition and construction do need support, we need support in society because we function poorly in a society where mediocrity and normal are the standards.
The closest thing to support is mental illness support, but because we're considered super functional we're often not only ignored but straight up excluded. Our superior function leads to an inferior function which is usually related to functioning well in society.
Highly intelligent people with strong pattern recognition and construction need support and please don't use the G word, it's offensive.
You're confusing G*nius with self sufficiency. But the definition of a G*nius is not some who is so skilled in self sufficiency they don't need support, so o that's not the whole thing.

If it’s what you genuinely want to do, more power to you, but you should hopefully be going in understanding just how monumental a task making a tactics game actually is. There’s a reason “tactics curse” has become a meme.

Like how the hentai game genre has slow burn corruption, there should be a word for games that start off light-hearted but slowly the tone becomes more serious as the story progresses and as stakes get higher

>>536931371
Omg they do so. Matrices != quaternions. Traditional transformation matrixes, you know, like what all like directx and opengl originally had, suffer from this. Just because it is possible to store quaternions in a matrix representation and write your own transformation stack with your own math routines utilising quaternion math is irrelevant, the term “transformation matrix” in the realm of graphics software ALWAYS implies euler angles, even though in reality it isnt a strict requirement. Its like the kb = 1024 thing, software has its own jargon due to historic reasons.
