Kasha recap post.

I have this catgirl character named Kasha who I want to use in a number of game projects. I've been building a universe with her since I was in junior high - I think I've had this character for about 24 or 25 years by now. She is a small catgirl with a magic shapeshifting tail who likes playing ball games and lives with a giant tiger woman named Milchi.

I have a bunch of Kasha projects being made.. Don't know which to focus on. Wish I could just focus on my fighting game. But I know that if I don't focus on making and releasing a game as complete as I can make it then my fighting game has no hope of being good.

I have three projects with my catgirl in various states of development.

Kasha vs Kritters - arcade style game about defeating enemies, actively in development, several levels and enemies are made already.

Hole-in-Nyan - 3D PS1-style minigolf game, prototype made godot. Trying to figure out how to proceed, want to learn 3D gamedev pipeline.

Untitled Kasha "Big Platformer" - this one's a larger game. It is an action platformer in the style of Super Mario World where Kasha treks around the country in search of her mama and meets several adoptive mamas. It's a big classic adventure where she turns her tail into stuff.

https://psychojosh.itch.io/kasha-catcha - Tiny gamejam game I made with Kasha/Milchi.

https://psychojosh.itch.io/kasha-vs-kritters-alpha-demo - Demo of KVK.

Now that I have scared away all of the nodevs, you'd better post some serious progress in the latest organized Demo Day.
>>538094861
Neat.

>>538094441 (OP)
kino, if only the dev wasnt a skitzo

Total tranny death

>>538095182
I exude Denis Dyack-esque energy most would find disturbing.

XHE won, we all have to kneel

Bart silkson
Thats it. Thats the meme

https://itch.io/jam/agdg-demo-day-64/rate/3078532

Updated the demo to increase difficulty. My suspicions were right, the game is too easy and skill ceiling too low. I'll have to work on the latter after DD is done.

>>538095639
you exude autist virgin mutt energy

>>538095758
so this is what you did instead of setting up a collab huh
fygoon predicted this btw

>>538095758
skill ceiling is more about giving the player tools to work with than making the game harder, you just need a lot of room for improvement and for that improvement to feel satisfying

>>538095991
You exude loser living in his mama's basement energy that everyone finds disturbing.

>>538096062
so huh the jenny dev was a shartdew modder huh? >>538082552
i knew he was more histrionic than the usual whodev

>want to make eroge
>terrible at illustrating
what if I make a text based simulator like DoL?

>>538096248
you will call me loser but you will never call me wrong

>>538096348
You are wrong.

>>538095639
wow this looks bad
>>538096348
you're wrong

overworld with a number of dungeons, like zelda

or

dungeon, after dungeon, after dungeon, like gauntlet?

>>538096471
nah

>>538096307
that mod is fanart

>>538096564
depends on the feel you're aiming for, overworld is a lot more adventure-y but a series of dungeons can work depending on what's going around thematically

Reminder that Fygoon threads usually get deleted by jannies and you should all know better than to post in one

It's me or demo day is dying? Less and less new games and comments...

>>538096734
Reminder that the only reason why these threads get deleted is because of losers like you who can't stand to see me make a thread.

bnnuy

bro i did 3 prompts, wtf
like seriously im worried about getting too used to claude code and then they turn it off, i dont want to go back to writing boilerplate and tests myself

>>538097304
why would anyone want to watch a cinematic instead of playing the game

>>538097304
kino and GMI energy if im being honest

>>538097304
Man it's crazy that people still use poonity after what they did, no wonder politicians get away with murder.

no comment

>>538097797
I've never met a lizard fag that wasn't an annoying autist on the internet

>>538097991
What's with all the dirt specks?

>>538097216
/agdg/ is reclining...

>>538098623
reclining in my chair

>>538098623
i look like this

I only started work on my game only 3 weeks ago and don't have enough of a prototype for this demo day.
Really wanted to have a working prototype but as it stands there's basically no game to my game.

>>538099498
Post it anyways. You should have seen what I was hocking during my first go.

Gun to your head:
If you dont make 3 games before december i will find you and kill you

>>538096314
At that point just write a book.

Alice game versus Blackwell game, who is the better roguelike?

>>538096314
Just learn to draw, retard.

>>538101010
Narnia game.

>>538101162
that's traced from a real pic btw

>>538096314
what's DoL

>>538101382
True, I'm the guy in the picture btw.

For those who've downloaded shrimp game in the last 5 or so hours, disregard that build. It was a debug build that only had one dungeon
Carry on anons

>>538100768
books aren't INTERACTIBLE
>>538101162
don't have the time to seriously practice as of now at least, the hope would be for volunteer artists to take interest like what happened with DoL modding
>>538101494
mostly text-based rape victim / orphan sim, I'd probably go for the inverse since there's a billion eroge where you play as a girl and get fucked

>>538097241
I honestly couldn't care less but you are in a constant state of ban evasion so I fully expect the threads you make vanish at some point

>the hope would be for volunteer artists to take interest
do codemonkeys really?

>>538102610
subhuman """""""artists""""""" be like:
>I WANT RECOGNITION AND POPULARITY AND ALSO BEING PAID BILLIONS WITHOUT ACTUALLY HAVING A HISTORY/RESUME THAT WILL BACK ME UP AS RELIABLE AND NOT LAZY WORKER!!!

>>538102610
my real game has soulful coder art but that doesn't fly with eroge, anyways crab show your game blah blah blah

uh oh , codeschizo melty

>>538103549
You want to get raped, bitch? Wanna be fucked in ass and cummed inside?

>>538103006
Peripeteia?

Why does the pixel game have the Mother 3 font? Does it look weird to you as well?

>>538094441 (OP)

how's the demoday 64 fanart compilation going?

Alot of these demo days game pages need to have a video or atleast picture showing gameplay. Im looking at the page for Dark Grace and all I can see 3 pictures of hallways and one of the picture has a knight to the side.
The info shows there's combat, inventory, items, weapons and a mysterious plague but i dont see it. No video at all just a download button. I know devs here know what a good game page looks like, why ignore that important part of marketing?

Dog ai was too buggy for multiplayer so i opted to just making it a glorified sprint.

>>538108523
why would anyone play this over onirism

>>538108523
Nice, the dog spawning animation looks clean.

>>538104245
yes. I hate that shit. make font tiles nigga. find a font you like. type the alphabet out on notepad or whatever, sceenshot that shit and open it up in your art program, cut them letters up and scale to your tile size and trace/tweak. then write a system to take text and display your tiles.

>>538108713
Where's my fanart tho? You still haven't drawn me fanart

How many AI voice actings am I allowed to use before the Agdg discort bans me?
It can't be 0

>find artist on bsky that's way better than me
>also 8 years younger than me so I can't cope with "I'm still learning"

>>538109634
You do know you can just kill him, right?

>>538109634
I used to be one of those young artists better than artists 10 years older, but then I got 10 years older too and the level of skill of young artists got even higher. maybe they are all cheating nowadays, damned kids!

>>538109634
It's tough but you probably can draw well enough to make a game while AI will make artists obsolete now/soonish depending how one looks at it both 2d and 3d while jack of all trades types those who know enough but don't have enough practice are the meek who inherit the earth we'll just grow stronger as they rope.

>>538108523
why would anyone play this over square hooligans?

I miss making games with you lads, now I just waste my days doing nothing at all.

>>538109634
Tolkien didn't write The Hobbit until he was in his late thirties. The story was shit, sure, but it did irreversible damage to fantasy writing as a whole.

I put the blame on Alexandre Dumas. Tolkien was pretty based even if his most popular stories are hollywood tire on the surface.

>>538115147
LOWER THE SENSITIVITY BITCH. IT'S YOUR GAME

>>538115271
>pc inputs but the camera is so slow?

It was a bad idea to not reschedule DD64 after Silksong's release announcement

>>538115491
Didn't you hear? Everyone here hates Silksong anyway, so it never mattered

>>538115552
I like it. my next game will be a silksong-like but with harder platforming so exploration is a pain, and bosses will kill you in only 3 hits.

>>538115095
Based bunny dev grinding cold baths.

is ultima an immersive sim

>>538094441 (OP)
I'll stream some games later when people woke up.

>>538119964
WOKE?!?!

What game should i play

>>538120112
wokeslop

>>538120112
something that's not mobilecoded or consolecoded

Bros, I don't see a world where the dev bends over and gives us a bigger font...

>>538120576
transcore...

unity takes fucking ages to load a project and constantly crashes but it has good assets so I guess it's better than godot

What do you call this type of water in games? A "Water Material" or "Water Shader"? I keep getting confused on which term is more appropriate to say or are they interchangeable?

>>538094441 (OP)
guy making the godhand-like here. Haven't posted in ages but I've been working the entire time, just not on "fun to look at" things.

>made my own pathfinding system that's super light. No nav meshes or nav agents.
>switched enemy rigs to AutoRig Pro (protagonist still on Rigify, I'll get back to that)
>systemized movelist creation so now I just drag and drop saved moves onto an enemy and it'll automatically load up the animations and have all the relevant data
>adding/removing moves is dynamic, as it automatically updates the enemy's movelist
>moves have a weight: the higher the weight, the more likely the move will be used

Can't show much because I changed the design of the enemies and I feel it's kino now. Don't want someone faster to copy their design y'know.

Anyway I will now, completely unprompted, shill autorig pro:
>the exporting phase isn't complete fucking torture
That would have been enough, but it's actually really good. Just one click and the super complex rig is game-ready and in Godot immediately.
>IK and FK switch doesn't make me want to contemplate murder
Again just that would have been a huge improvement over Rigify, but it goes beyond and has an amazing IK-FK switch.
>has a control for closing and opening the fist
I kneel.

Yes yes it's paid, but damn it's worth it. Goes on sale a couple times a year, watch out for it, I recommend it.
If I had to nitpick, I preferred Rigify's feet controls.

>>538120865
Assets like what?
If you mean 3D assets then those are only good for prototyping

How do people normally add a body to pathfinding in godot? So the thing like doesnt choose the shortest path possible because it doesn't have any width or height so like half of it's body is behind navigation map?

>>538120937
Interchangeable, but shader is the technically correct term.

>>538094861
>Muscle girl x loli pair
This is good and I hope the best comes for you.

>shitsong is only 83% positive
>the devs still made 20 million each yesterday

capitalism truly is clown shit

>>538123481
Theres a point where too much media coverage will draw people who won't like your game. There's nothing you can do about it and at the end of the day if its good enough and the game sells then its a win.

>>538122570
What the hell are you talking about?

>>538121316
I've bought one of these blender addons before, the problem with them is the same as with godot addons; blender updates so fucking often that it's out of date immediately.

Coincidentally it was a script that ripped out the DEF bones and put them in their own skeleton to make exporting to godot easier and I can't even remember what version of blender it was for anymore.

>>538094441 (OP)
Why is there 2 thre-
>one is filled with toxic whodev pajeets talking to they/themselves
>the other filled with real discussion and comfy anons doing mild jokes
Ah i see now

>>538108523
Looks very polished already

>538124318
This retarded subhuman tranny seriously thinks a faggoon thread is good.

>>538124138
This one's popular enough that it'll get updated, plus you're not forced to update Blender.
In any case you do you

>>538120937
Not interchangeable. If it moves or deforms the vertices then it has to be a shader. Materials can't deform vertices.

>>538121357
For me, it's unreal. I don't need unity assets but I need game logic plugins.

>>538124819
Interesting, what kind of logic plugins does UE offer?

>>538121316
I have no real interest in the gameplay but the title is so legendary that I am glad someone is attempting to continue it's legacy

>>538124940
Thanks anon. The biggest hurdle so far is making a shitton of animations but I'm getting there

Made some progress, the portal now actually leads somewhere. Testing out some ideas for the area on the other side of the portal

>>538094861
Not a fan of your style but I am a fan of the autism
>>538124876
Turn based stuff. Particularly tactical likes that offer free roam. Also I use quite a few of its animation tools. I guess the biggest issue is that unreal plugin parallel compatibility is a mess since you have blueprints and c++. Ime a codelet though so.

>>538125391
I learned to code in a year. Can't picture myself ever getting into blueprint, that whole logic gate shit filters me hard.
Code is so fucking easy. Just learn it dude

Looking at silksong reviews it really feels like they didn't test balance, difficulty or progression systems at all. Its good to know even people that made it screw up these things.

HAVE YOU EVER GAMEDEVIN WITH YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE!!!???

>>538125319
ludo

>>538125319
reminds me of woodpecker

>>538126213
>my wife
oh nice

>>538125847
feels like they tested it with hollowknight nohit speedrunners and spent the whole dev cycle looking for ways to screw them.
>you thought that level was too easy? try it now...
>JAJHAHAHH GOTTEM!!! YOU NEVER SAW THAT TRAP COMING LLALAAALALA

>>538125847
>>538129049
that's based. Hollow Knight gets piss easy by the end when you've basically mastered the movement and combat. I'm glad they kept building up the formula instead of leaving it to stagnate

>>538125319
Very nice

Am I correct in understanding that I can use SubscribeStar for a 2D loli erotic visual novel using AI generated art as long as I dont actually post any loli content to SS and link everything offsite?

>>538129229
being difficult isn't necessarily good game design or a new formula. it's a bit cringe sensing the developers hand so much instead of being immersed in the world.

>>538129743
The game is more complex and demanding, which is fine after Hollow Knight. It would have been worse if they didn't advance in any way since Hollow Knight was already too basic

>>538129743
I think the game should just have a difficulty setting

>>538126565
>>538129494
thanks!

>>538128789
you can see it if you search hard enough

>>538129880
I was against a difficulty setting in sekiro, but I'd accept one in silksong.

>>538129049
>>538129743
>Game is hailed to high heaven for never bending to anyone, not fans wanting an early release, not Netflix asking for a show, not concernfags asking for a $25 price

real in your head?

>>538129049
nigga its day 2

>>538129865
it didn't advance it, it just changed focus to action instead of rewarding exploration. you can play silksong for 15 hours and find nothing of note in terms of upgrades or anything.

>>538131636
Anons clapped at the sight of this, at least 30 threads that day. The difficulty is just the dark side of the unbudging developer.

PLAY MY GAME BLOODY BASTARD

>>538131836
oh that, I thought you meant hoards of people begged for an easy mode in hollowknight or something.

you just hate hollow knight cause its a little white guy like me and not a nepobaby made dark skin DEI protagonist tough

>you didnt submit your game hour 1 of day 1? good luck getting any play and comments as people burn out from playing the same games
Can we address this problem?

>>538133239
if your game was cooler then people would want to play it

>>538133292
Fuck you crab.

>>538125847
Considering how mainstream the game is at least 80% of the players have an IQ in the double digits. Hard to take feedback from the average gamer seriously when it comes to things like challenge and progression.

Update about the rpg with genshin aesthetics I'm making. Shits hard. Scope's too big. But I slog

>>538131530
I simply cannot imagine waking up in the morning in order to work on an inferior copy of an existing game for years on end. And why is it always a platformer or metroidvania? It's part of the gamer midlife crisis starter kit at this point.

>>538134145
>I simply cannot imagine waking up in the morning in order to work on an inferior copy of an existing game for years on end.
99% of devs do this tough

>>538134145

>turd strike's slow molasse gameplay being compared to CHUDsong
come the fuck on

>>538135694
I'll come when I'm ready

a game about *crickets*

we'all playing silksong
i wont dev until i finish it

Why are there 2 aggy threads?

>>538140430
one is made by a tranny.
one is made by a resident schizo fuck

>>538142072
How big is the tranny's dick and how racist/antisemitic is the schizo? That'll decide which thread we should use.

>>538125319
Nice.
>>538121316
Oh shit! It's good to see you again and I am glad that you are still making progress.

YOOOOOOOOOOO SILKSONG IS A FVARKING MASTERPIECE

>>538106293
you have a point anon. i have no idea what im doing desu. truth is i never started making this game with the goal of selling it. it's also very early in development and so many things are subject to change that i dont even know what to put there yet. even the itch.io plot is a very loose idea of what i want.

>>538145156
I use talking animals as a commentary on racism without offending either side of the political spectrum. How I lean personally is not your concern.

>>538103951

>>538158671
Also, looking at that and some other games, allow me to throw up some thoughts that you can all readily shoot down if they sound wrong. So is it a thing where the way that people bullshit colossal maps with regard to space travel is generally via instancing out of the atmosphere into a separate map via a locked in "jumping to hyperspace" loading screen and having a slanted scale where movement is actually very stilted, but it's made to seem fast via things like speed lines? So you can have a relatively small map instead of something with coordinates in the billions? Am I missing something?

>try the UE5 Lyra demo game
>PC is too much of a toaster to even run it at low
If the intent is that I should abandon UE5 for something that actually understands where priorities should lie, I'm starting to get that message.

you are offered two choices and one optional luck-based strat in this life
a) late stage "capitalism/socialism/corporatism whatever that system is" induced depression
b) risking becoming homeless only doing what you feel like at any given moment (homelessnes might be avoidable with neetmaxing, although that could be cut off at any moment if some government worker decides so)
c) being a nepobaby

>>538165870
I mean you can just start from a blank project adn turn off a bunch of the stuff that makes UE5 require more processing/gpu resources.

It's more or less what I did.

I went to video game design school, son.

>>538184327
I don't recommend this unless it's a good university

There's still time left so far nobody's gone for it, though there was some mix-ups with the threads. If you added it to your game, let me know again.

Demo Day 64 is here, 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.
