Anyone else here work on the Source engine? Love the Source. Love the Hammer. Hate niggers. Simple as.

>>537944134
rasism is not allowed here

>>537944134
Some guy here regularly posts his s&box game. That uses Source 2.

I think I would've decidedly gone insane if it wasn't for this general. This hobby and loneliness are a deadly combination.

race to the bottom

hahaha, once I upload my demo I will become the female yesdev of /agdg/

aim assistance is the future

>>537944319
i never played it
why do we hate it?

>>537944320
female yesdevs own me sex

I think I get why Silksong (a mid game) is so popular: it's "memetic power" because it's been in development for so long.
I've seen this happen with many other titles over the years (Cyberpunk, HL3, Halo 3, Duke Nukem etc).

>>537944465
silksong is committing indie genocide

>>537944945
how the fuck is this legal? where's antitrust to crush the big III monopoly? unironically?

>>537944945
Indie devs are huge retards, they can just call the bluff and price it at whatever price they think their game is worth instead of whining "woe is me" and leaning into the play.
Big plebbitor energy.

Should I add gravestone into my DD entry about bunnyposter? And title it "in loving memory of nodev bunny-posting attentionwhore" or bunnyposter was very contributing member to discussion and i need to improve the message?

While I was typing it I got hit with idea! If geometry is optimized - i can copypaste it to create comfy graveyard!

I believe in Silksong accelerationism

how do we solve the silksong issue?

GTA 6 is coming out for $20 and it's going to collapse the games industry.

>>537945592
By playing Ender Lilies/Ender Magnolia?

Surely he was hired for his impressive voice acting skills and not his nepo status as a famous indie dev

>>537945743
Can people stop spamming eric in these threads now? eric has 500 million dollars and supports genociding small indie devs.

>>537946474

This is the Omega Circle. Only millionaire game developers are allowed in, and once you're in you're set for life. I'm surprised they even acknowledged this collaboration in the credits, normally all members of the Omega Circle is sworn to total secrecy and operate under aliases.

Zero progress posts.

>>537946791
your game?

>>537946671
why? we hate eric schizo and we have shartsong, its literally the most complained game in /agdg/ right now
do you live in an alternate universe? it will give more bullets to anti nepobaby and anti inner circle chads tough

You didn't need to clarify that, we already knew.

>>537947081
no but like do you browse another /agdg/? we literally make fun of shartformers all the time, im curious is there another /agdg/?

If your game is 2D you should literally unalive yourself.

>>537947287
There's the discord, where actual progress is posted.

Question for AI anons:

Making games is easier and more accessible than ever but you're still too stupid to do it. What will AI change?

There needs to be a second internet that costs too much for the third world to access it.

I hope Silksong is the inspiration my boy Sasquatch B needs to finish Veil of Maia

>>537947430
It'll mean I can blame something else on why I'm not as succesful as say, underspace.

If your game isn't 3D lower your tone when talking to me.

>>537947514
>Silksong
How much estrogen do you need to be on to enjoy that shit?

>>537947287
There's nothing inherently wrong with platformers. The problems start when you expect anything out of [existing game, but worse]. Every game competes with existing games of its genre. Gamers want [Hollow Knight, but better] but retarded kenyan helicopter indie devs are only capable of making [Hollow Knight, but worse]. Silksong gets massive attention because it's touted as [Hollow Knight, but better].

>>537945901

It's not 1985, for starters.

>>537947681
This is so trvke, camera issues aside 3d games are the ones people actually want to play, and that's just how it is.

>>537947874
Stop calling them schizos. They're just attention starved nodevs and likely too young to be on this website in the first place.
Calling things "schizo" has become the "xD randum!!" of Gen Z.

>>537946934
I'm not, but I dont like 2d side scrollers.

anyway, added walking and chasing onto the enemy AI for the dungeon levels. some bugs, but whatever, this area has been in-progress for less than a month.

>>537948043
It's 2025 and there are currently 407,652 players playing Silksong on Steam alone.

>>537948269

>>537948049
Whenever I see a 2D game nowadays all I can see is a failed millennial stuck in 2014 with no standards. It's lazy, it's uninspired, and it's banking on nostalgia for a time your primary customers (zoomers) weren't even alive yet.

Schedule 1 has utterly embarrassed all of these devs. You can solo dev an open world multiplayer game and you're making 2D pixelshit...?

>>537948464

Schedule 1 was not made solo.
>You can solo dev an open world multiplayer game and you're making 2D pixelshit...?
No, you cannot.

And FYI none of your beloved indie darlings were solodev. Even Stardew Valley wasn't made solo, even if one main dev did most of the work. He still had paid help.

>>537948924
>He still had paid help.
got a source for that, bucko? we dont take defamation against our precious Eric lightly.

>>537948870
No it don't

Peripeteia is sold at 25 bucks, what makes it better than Silksong to ask such prices?

>>537948560
Jesus christ. Do other engines do that too? Is there any way to remove it?

>>537949036

Why is Barone Eric so hated here? He's like the Yanderede of /agdg/ meanwhile on reddit he's very beloved.

>>537943839 (OP)
progress, centralized all input stuff so I can add changeable keybinds later
also drew a maid for the main menu and logo

>>537949490
eric barone kidnaps indie devs and takes them to his secluded island where he and other millionaire devs hunt and kill poorer indie devs for sport

>>537949490
We don't hate him, we hate you. You're an infestation.

>>537949490
It's a love hate thing. I love him so much, but know I can never be with him... so instead I cope by claiming to hate him.

In reality, all I want to do is sit on his lap and listen to him whisper sweet nothings like "you're gonna make it, your game is great" into my ear.

It sucks... I call myself his sidekick, but does he ever call himself my hero?

>>537948269
Awesome style, anon

>>537949490
We don't hate him, we just don't like how the damage he has done to the games industry, even if it's unintentional.

Games are not meant to be made solo and pushing the myth of solodev has led to worse games and thus a worse games industry.

STOP USING GODOT

>>537949490
we dont hate eric, we hate the eric poster. who made sucking erics cock his whole personality

>>537949857
But that's par the course for /agdg/. You pick one developer and you spend your entire time schizoing out over them. Positive or negative, it doesn't matter.

>>537949857
im pretty sure its unserious ragebaiting like posting the pink tranime girl or fygoon spamming an ugly cartoon
cris is the only sincere bizarre poster

>>537950076
...yes

>>537948217
don't worry guys the schizo came home

>>537948595
Real. People need to get it through their heads that there are people old enough to buy games that have never played a 2D game, ever, in the same way that most millennials have never played a purely text game.

>>537949748
The only people mad at solo devs are LGBT freak indie teams who make flops like Dustborn despite having 10x the people and 100x the money. They get embarrassed by one White guy in his apartment, the very type of person they've been trying to push out of the industry for years.

>>537950158
whats wrong with Jewish and Chinese people?

I get being mad at Israel for their actions, or being upset with the government of the People's Republic of China... But why call out all of the Jewish and Chinese people?

Did anyone else get interested in game dev only after the AI spring because it’s basically the one tech field that will be safe from ai for the next half-decade or so?
>oh but it isn’t safe
It’s the only tech thing that’s anywhere near safe and I’m never leaving tech.

>They get embarrassed by one White guy in his apartment, the very type of person they've been trying to push out of the industry for years.
Such a person has never made a good game. All the good games were made by two or more people. The best games of all time were made by teams of 20-60. Solodevs are delusional and make bad games.

>>537950561
Butt ass ugly game is what went wrong.

>>537949084
I thought devs had the right to choose the price they want and not compare themselves to others?

>>537951004
Crab hands typed this

Can't wait until I finish my current game so I can start Ghost Detective. Then I can remake my old game into Clone Detective.

>>537950561
you know what? good on him for getting 10 reviews

low key, most of the devs in this chat wont get that many so im gonna be happy for him instead of crab.

See you guys around next DD, it's over for me. Stay hard.

>>537951083
I don't know what a crab is, explain or I shall flush your opinion down the toilet.

>>537949084
>>537951013
Unironically if you're pricing your game at less than $15 you're leaving money on the table.
People who won't spend $15 on a game aren't going to buy it until it goes on sale for $9.99 or less anyway.

>>537949490
The only people who hate Eric are crabs aligned with the metaphysical evil

Okay maybe you'll understand it in a different way.
You've played GTA San Andreas, right?
Well you have CJ who left the hood inorder to better himself and get a real job and shit.
But when his mom dies he comes home to pay respects.
Instead of his nigga friends allowing him to return back home and continue his life as a productive member of society, they drag him down and make him into a gangster again.
A crab is the same idea. They drag people back down to their level and prevent success.

indie gamedev is fucking dead

>>537951417
>Still has to wage

>>537950561
Horrible artstyle, HORRIBLE title, HORRIBLE marketing. He can't blame his wife for that.

>>537951381
Lots of people hate nepobabies tough, especially this one since he just cloned a Japanese game. Basically he's a talentless hack who just got shilled because his dad is a Boeing engineer, at least post notch or something.

>>537951512
>Saying you think something looks ugly is the same as dragging someone down into the pits of failure
So you want a circle jerk where everyone butt fucks each other and tells you that what you're working on is good despite it looking like shit? No thanks, faggot you got reddit for that and you're welcome to go back.

>>537951616
>Trained on reddit posts
>Get reddit responses aiming to be the most up voted in the thread with their joke

>>537951616
Wow it's simulated the average /agdg/ poster.

>>537951635
I'll give you that. I really wish I didn't have to work and could stay at home devving 24/7, but my parents are too proud to allow me to do that. They gave me half a year after college before my job began to travel and do whatever I wanted but once that was up I had to start working. It not too bad though, I work in a field where I need the experience if ever want to go anywhere anyways.

>>537951661
His wife could have help market it. Go on reddit post herself next to the art she made for the game etc. redditlings love that.

I can't tell if what I want to make is a game or just my personal power fantasy

>>537951616
Sirs... our response???

>doing research on owls for my game
>discover this phenomenon called "mobbing" where little birds gang up on a larger predator to chase it away
I'm not longer calling it crabbing, I'm calling it mobbing. Mobbing is a more accurate comparison to what goes on here. Someone talented shows up and posts their work which blows everything else in /agdg/ out of the water. The resident attention seekers feel threatened, realizing this dev is going to siphon attention away from their bait posts, and so they band together to harass the dev until that dev eventually leaves /agdg/.

>>537947681
I'm making what is essentially a 2d platformer but in 3D and also I will lower my tone regardless because I have autism and I can't control the volume of my voice.

>>537952050
I see that all the time. 5,000 Reddit points on a female """""game dev."""""" Scroll down in the comments and she just does background art while her boyfriend makes the actual game lol.

how do i get good at 3d modeling and sculpting?

>>537953061
>>537953493
bro kill yourself already

new demo is up!
fixed alot of bugs and polished the tutorial
rats and fires work with more logic now, not completely random
some monster logic reworked
bonus level added

>>537948269
colors and shader look better but you gotta change the hands and sword

>>537953493
How many orders of magnitude more time consuming is high-fidelity 3d compared to low-poly? I know there's a whole rabbit hole of sculpting, baking normal maps and retopology and shit that goes into it. Is it worth learning to make proper game assets?

>>537954014
i look like this

>>537954014
you are seriously inquiring to the pedo image?

>>537954014
I think a solution to that is to intentionally mix styles, but keep them coherent.

So make the main characters, these HD sculpts renders for something like a VN mode between the main characters.
But keep also a low poly model as the ingame model for a low poly game.

>>537954279
He must be a bot, I guess. I wanted to know if he actually made that model or not and how long it took.

>>537954374
It would be neat to know how to make a detailed render for like a title screen or promotional materials and probably fun as well. Too bad my GPU isn't supported by cycles.

>>537954279
It's just a sculpt, relax.

>>537954014
10x
worth learning if you intend to be part of a team. unwise to attempt AAA pipelines as a solodev unless you are making a one room horror game or something.

>>537954374
how drunk and/or high are you on a scale of 1-10?

Found another Balatro-like, this time with chess pieces:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3509230/Gambonanza/

>>537955069
pretty sure you can get to 99% of that sculpt by modelling a close model following the reference and then doing a subsurf or subdivision modifier.

Hell, using a toon shader with smooth faces can get that nice clean smooth skin stuff.

>>537953605
will play tomorrow during DD

>>537955215
What do you mean?

It's called being smart.

It's impossible to deliver top 1% quality for all assets.
It's a much better idea to make the game into diferent styles of assets based on their story and gameplay relevance.
And then make them to be diferent species justified by the lore.

>>537955242
serious question: why do so many devs come up with shitty fucking names for their game?
>hexagod
>cropolution
they're all either retarded puns or combinations of le random quirky words

>plan out game in head
>open up engine for the actual work
>”what am I doing; nobody would play this; the market is oversaturated; it’s just screaming into the void”
>rinse and repeat every few months

>GPU isn't supported by cycles.
use your cpu to render

>>537955115
>me working on my loli game

I've been working on defensive tactic positions. Moving the defenders around as the attacker gets closer to the goal. They defenders are able to get into position and move up the court as the attacker moves away. Now I have to do the attackers movements to support the player in possession.

Commissioning some cover art and a logo. The side project really only needs the endings done and then it can be prepared to ship.

>>537955649
Oversaturation, all the good names have already been taken by previous games so you need to come up with ever more intricate and retarded names.

Just like you can't name your space game Star Wars anymore, even though it's so generic, you have to name it Sins of A Solar Empire.

>>537955649
Those names pretty good. Too bad the games weren't.

>>537955687
instead of planning a game in your head, build a fun—single mechanic and play with it, explore the possibilities. let your game design come after the mechanic, not before.

>>537956272
>established ips and brands sell
ok? is this meant to be a revelation?
fucking retarded nigger kill youself holy fuck

I'm going to price my game at $15. silksong raised the ceiling price. I no longer have to be compared to hollowknight's price.

>>537955687
I've been there. This is why you need to shit out a bare bones prototype (no art, no polish, just pure core gameplay) as fast as possible. The most important part of the game dev process (at least to me) is when you test the game and realize it's actually fun. Once you get there the ideas start coming like crazy and you start finding all sorts of cool ways to expand upon the idea and flesh out the game. The longer you keep the game as just an idea in your head the more time you give your brain to second guess itself.

>>537955687
This except you recover from your existential crisis after a while and keep working on your game. Making vaporware is worse than making a flop.

if at first you don't succeed, just give up

>>537955687
the real truth is that everything is oversatured.

>Music
there's 800 years of written music
>Writing
there's 3500 years of writers
>Art
There's thousands of years of artists.

So who cares if the market is saturated?

But also, try any job, and there's too much worker for any job.
And there's less jobs because of AI.

My advice is that try to follow your dreams.
We're gonna have entually WW3 and die, so better at least make a game before the nukes start.

How do I come up with a name as cool as Silksong?

demoday isn't saturated, you still have a chance to stand out here, to all these wonderful people.

I've gotten weirdly absorbed in reading lately. Like I put 100 pages a day into a book. I used to have no attention span for reading but I deleted reddit, facebook/instagram, and blocked a bunch of sites that I waste a lot of time on. Reading seems to be the only thing I can focus on anymore. I barely even watched TV this week.

I did manage to get some work done today though

All the progress I have so far I can't post because it has no visual representation outside of code, maybe designing the game as I go along is better than planning it carefully

The more hours you can get players to spend on your game, the more likely Steam is to promote it. Playtime is one of the most important metrics. When you try to make a game that "doesn't waste the players' time", you're actually making a worse game by algorithmic metrics.

If only I could fast forward to next week when the Redditsong posting dies out

run backs to bosses in souls is pretty quick, average is 45 seconds, and being 3d you can just avoid all enemies on the path. longest runback is in darksouls 2 vs darklurker at 200 seconds because you have to fight enemies to get back

The boss run in Demons Souls was kind of novel but it got old quick in the next couple iterations and I'm pretty sure From realized it themselves. Most bosses in Elden Ring have a site of grace or a checkpoint within 50 feet of them.

I want to see progress of Armaphract and Perish Parade.

>>537951417
Very cool nepobaby. So where is your game?

>>537949436
indie just means "not AAA" now.

I worked 30 hours a day the last 3 days in order to get my demo ready. I don't know why because I'm definitely just going to get ignored like always.

Got weapon effects working.

>>537962124
>>537962615
Hollow Knight didn't really have any bosses that you were expected to reattempt dozens of times, so they could reasonably make the run back longer.

>Hollow Knight didn't really have any bosses that you were expected to reattempt dozens of times, so they could reasonably make the run back longer.
true for a lot of bosses, but some can be trying. dying 5 times to soulmaster is 10+ minutes of wasted time running back, plus RNG teleporting wizards get in the way of your runback flow.

>>537962554

Unreal's character controller has a lot of inertia and it makes you feel really floaty by default.

How should I handle key-inputs?
I'm on unity which apparently has some new thing people should use, until now I just used basic ass GetKey calls to get the input for any given system.
What do? I have no concept of whatever the built in solution is and I hate built in shit where I have to click things.

Basically my main question, how bad of an idea is it to build your own centralized key input system? I don't have that many keybinds in my game and if I build it myself it's better for my coding ai. Is there anything I'm missing

I'm egotistical, naturally I have already aspired to surpass those who would look down on me and those who wouldn't alike,

how much of your game should you spoil with Itch screenshots?

>>537959248
if you use it to name sci-fi objects or factions you'll end up with the same names as 50 other games
the fact it will suggest "Protocols" for almost anything scifi is hilarious to me, just makes everything sound like that Huberman youtuber

>>537966515
put the best looking things in the screenshots. don't worry about spoilers. only text based games might need to consider what they show

>>537966515
Honestly it depends but as a rule of thumb I would limit the stuff shown in your marketing to the first 3rd of the game. It's why a lot of demos are the first or second chapter.

>>537966235
me too lil blud

>>537966515
How can you possibly spoil something with screenshots? unless your game is a rugpull game where it starts as something but is actually about another thing entirely.
But even then you would just make the first thing no matter how little it is be as good looking as possible to rug as many players as possible.

So yeah idk

>>537966515
Literally just show cool shit. The player won't know anything about the game or the context of the events shown in the screenshots so just show whatever is the most attention grabbing.

>>537968706
it entirely depends on what the gameplay is like and how well the assets work w/ each other. you can get pretty far using only free assets, but they require more work for things to feel cohesive.

also when you do anything thats gonna mention the patreon, even if you only mention it in passing, make sure the focus is on gameplay elements/the stuff you did yourself.
if you just say "hey, check out my game. also i have a patreon" people who can recognize assets are gonna instantly assume its an assetflip and nothing more. wont matter what the gameplay is like at that point.

>>537963293
how are you making this with vroid, kemo. My models look generic and meh.

>>537969176
>>537969228
it's less about being free or paid and more about people that wants everything to be made from scratch by the dev, these people are irrelevant when it comes to AAA but they're very loud on indie games, want to know how big they actually are especially when it comes to the people that donate on patreon.

focus on that when you tell ppl about it, dont even bring up the fact that you're using free assets

but in the meantime set aside $$ to either buy better chars/enemies or hire someone to make them.
or spend some time learning blender, you wont have to make models from scratch just buy a cheap asset pack that looks good and make changes to fit your game better.

stop bullying woodpecker dev

>I like working on my vidya projects for fun.
Depends where you live. Working in a studio won't be fun when it becomes your day job and you'll have to crunch to meet deadlines while a layoff dagger hangs above your head 24/7.
This is the reality of most game studios.

Video game sales have been slowing down since 2024, market is oversaturated. Get the degree to learn stuff but don't expect to get a job making games.

You may encourage me

Friendly reminder that decentralized banking supports indie game devs

>The City of London, Federal Reserve and European Central Bank are all pushing for bank centralisation, the erasure of small banks in nations that have them like Germany (already nonexistent in the UK) and pushing Central Bank digital currency (CBDCs) which is essentially the itch.io visa scandal but for literally everything

>Statistical analysis shows larger banks tend to only lend to established megacorporations, cutting off access to money for small and medium enterprises and stifling their growth. Small banks have smaller reserves and lend to smaller people

>Larger banks also have less connection to the local communities unlike smaller banks and are more likely to be predatory towards them (e.g. one of England's large banks had a whole department dedicated to stripping the assets of small businesses who took out loans with them)

>Larger banks are more likely to be ran by members of corrupt evil cultures who view everyone else as cattle and are extremely untrustworthy (those who know, know)

Bank decentralisation is key to the growth of AA and indie studios and everyone on /agdg/ should support it. It's no coincidence gaming got worse after the 2008 financial crisis (where 1000s of smaller banks died and Blackrock became the top investor in every company)

Sad but true.

PedoCHADs are yesdevs and don't have the time to care about your silly thread drama.

My prototype is too early to demo but I'm preparing a small explorable area anyways just so you can get an idea for how the game is supposed to feel. I was just going to drop you in the text area but that's boring and lame af. Hope you'll enjoy it. Time to crunch now.

That's a lie told by central bankers in order to justify their existence. The Victorian era was one of the most progressive in history, and it was deflationary.

>>537983557
the "economists" bend over backwards, making more and more gigacomplex rhetorics to justify their models failures after failures "human are very complex okay? sobs"
but when it comes to deflation then the econ majors would smugly tell you that deflation = people hold money = no buy = no work

Getting into game dev out of spite was a bad idea. Because spite wears off. And if spite is your motivation, it means your motivation is very finite.

You mean the Low VRAM? Unfortunately all the spritesheets can easily amount to more than 4G VRAM usage, which is a lot to ask obviously for a game that otherwise does not make notable use of the GPU. Enabling compression shrinks it down by 50% or something.

I'd be making my game in Source if the license fees weren't still insane. I really really really wish valve would open source it with the middleware stripped. We could replace havok with jolt.

>>537991503
What I don't understand is why they haven't opensourced Gold Source. As far as I know, there is no middleware in it like Havok, most of that engine belongs to them entirely.
And it's not like they're using it for any critical contemporary multiplayer infrastructure either way, so...

I might be onto something. ChatGPT said my game was the best idea out of all the ideas I had. Then I thought it was being sycophantic due to talking about it before. But gemini confirmed it, and I haven't mentioned it there before.

>>537965842
Rewired costs money and will save dev time
Getkey through a singleton that supplies the key id from the binding enum is the minimal code for rebinding.
The new input system has a system for that built in with generated c# bindings. You dont have to do any fancy input stuff except configuring bindings in a scriptableobject, and making sure there is one and only one input component at all times (one per scene, or throw one in dontdestroyonload at game start)

>>537998337
Also if you dont want c# bindings you can build them from code or from a JSON file or whatever you want on startup or at build time or edit time

>>537998096
>This is probably not counting the 1000 games without a public release date that will release this month
No such thing, you need to set your release date on Steam at least 2 weeks in advance, and either way it would be retarded to set your game as "No date announced" and just shadowdrop it one day with no warning.

So much spite and crabbing in the indie scene. What happened to just making game?

It is what it is. Should be fine for what you want. Inevitably though you're going to have to endure a period of adjustment between knowing how to do stuff in Unity and not knowing how to do stuff in the next engine you pick.

Also don't fall for the Godot C# meme, it was just annoying last time I tried it.

A few years ago, I set the catalog search of /agdg/ as my homepage when I start uo my browser
And here I am, not having even started making a game.
Why am I like this? Why do I not take positive action?
I think its because a part of me is always convinced that I'm never meant to succeed at anything in life.

>>538002240
Open a game engine RIGHT NOW and start working

>>538001190
Its just "press button at right time to hit harder"

Baby steps anon, the start is daunting because you feel like tackling the whole thing
I havent even downloaded the engine yet, im just making concept art and writing out character sheets, and doing surprisingly well on that.
A character I was gonna put in as a "filler until I figure out what to do with them" is now my most thought out and elaborate character, and arguably holds the title of best girl

make a rule that you cant check the thread again until youve made progress on the game

>>538002240
>I think its because a part of me is always convinced that I'm never meant to succeed at anything in life.
Don't worry. Taking action such as trying to make a game would have very little effect on your chances of success. 0% vs 0.001% is practically the same.

>>538002853

You might have had an easier time if you'd used a dual grid by offsetting the visual tiles by half a grid. Oskar Stalberg has a talk about it that's worth watching

I've been working on a smash-style game, but i'm worried about the controls being too complicated. To replicate what smash has on a keyboard you need:
>Jump
>Dodge
>Dash
>Grab
>Attack
>Strong attack
>Special attack
>and Taunt
Leaving out taunt and making it so you can dash by double-tapping are fairly obvious, but six buttons still feels like a lot.
Another simplification i'm less sure of are making it so you do smash attacks by holding the normal attack button rather than it's own button.
I've also considered making it so that you block by pressing the down button and combining it with ducking. That could mess with air-dodging and down-attacks though.
The third idea is making you grab by doing shield+attack, which smash already allows you to do, though it feels pretty arbitrary.

What do you guys think? Does doing stuff like this actually make the game more approachable, or should i just bite the bullet and have a bunch of buttons? Are there other ways to simplify i haven't though of?

>>538004132
friends...?

We're coming up on Demo Day 64, and you'd like to get something back from all your hard effort.
I will make a generous donation to your demo if you add a screen at the beginning that says "I'm a farty fart man with a big smelly butt that smells like farts". It must be unskippable and stay present and visible for at least 5 seconds.
Note that for any qualifying games I'll be waiting a week to make sure you don't just immediately replace it.
I don't want to list an exact amount, because a game where it really doesn't fit in, or going "the extra mile" (fart noises in your soundtrack, especially in a serious game, things like that) will be rewarded more heavily.
Life handed me some bounty with Bitcoin and GME, so I'm more than happy to "give a little back" ;)

Humiliate yourself for money.

>How do I sign up?
Just add what I said to your game, and post in the thread at some point: "I'm a farty fart man with a big smelly butt that smells like farts" with a link to your game. I have something that will be looking for exactly that phrase.
Add additional notes if you have any such as "I added a fart sound to my music" and how it can be heard for verification.

Should have stopped there. If your game isn't street fighter, tekken, mortal kombat or super smash bros, expect to have a maximum global audience of about 2000 people.

Well no, he obviously got pushed extremely hard by legacy medias who are incredibly corrupt and wouldn't just do some poor heccin indie gamedev a favor, I think you have to compare how he is being treated compared to other mega successful indie devs. Especially since shartdew wasn't even this big pre-covid, it's very clearly nepotism.

In this thread? Absolutely. Either a jeet or some flavor of spic, same thing. "Nepotism" in /agdg/ essentially means you didn't grown up in some variety of street shitter favela.

Yeah "neopbaby" is as much as a meme here as the "inner circle" is. Just random noise and shitposting which some people take really seriously, but ultimately with no effect.

I got a lot done since last DD, the game plays much better but it's still rough in a lot of places.
I also started experimenting with giving it a proper plot and adding NPCs you can talk to between missions.
It still needs a lot of work so I hope to get plenty of feedback.
