>shitting on an indie dev is le okay because he used ai voices!!!

Show me your prog

i don't know if my dopamine receptors are just absolutely fucked or if clicker games are just painfully boring to play
i'm trying out some of these games to see what the appeal is and zero percent of my brain cares about them
they feel like chores, what's the appeal?

>>538838569
Unironically yes. I'd rather read a text box, or even hear him do the voice acting himself with the aid of a voice changer, than have an AI voice it. It's so grating on the ears.

>>538838767
>even hear him do the voice acting himself with the aid of a voice changer
But if the voice changer is AI based like the elevenlabs AI then it's suddenly le bad!!!
Fucking retard tranny.

Wait...

>>538838101
This would've been much more acceptable if they, instead of trying to voice act every single dialogue instance (especially because of their low budget) they just had a set of simple quips for each character that they would use.

Even some of the biggest brands do this. Granblue Fantasy, which rakes in a ridiculous volume of money from being a popular gacha, doesn't fully voice act everything. Characters have simple quips such as "sore na ..." "hwa!" "daijoubu desu" "hmmm..." which can be laid over any text that it's relevant for.

>>538838719

of course, they're not all clicker games, nor are they all idle games, they generally fall under the category of hypercasual incremental "toys" (i wouldn't really consider them to be real games)
almost all of them made me feel very little excitement or enjoyment at all
i can see the appeal of them providing an extremely low effort sense of progression, but that's about it
they're fun for about three minutes, until you get an understanding of what the gameplay is, and then ... ???
why would i ever choose to play any of these?
at most, the novelty of the premise of each game feels interesting, but then i unlock a few upgrades, get a glimpse into how the game will scale, and then, again, lose all interest

how the hell do these sorts of games do so well?

>>538839179

lol

after careful deliberation i have come to the conclusion that my approach to game design is completely false

What emotions is your game most likely to cause the player to feel?

I can make any kind of game. There's nothing that's technically beyond my means. It will just take a long time and not have enough appeal when finished because in 2025 your game needs to be in the top 5% to have been worth developing.

>>538838335 (OP)
Elisha is the best self improvement youtube channel. Not a shill, not selling you a dream etc. Just gives good geniune advice.

woke up early for the ninty direct

>>538842762
>There's nothing that's technically beyond my means.
It feels good to reach this level of skill. I feel similar, and my main concern isn't with if I can make a game or not, but what sort of game I should make, based on how long it will take to finish, as I'm a little bit impatient, and how much I'd personally enjoy the final product of the game. It's hard to make my mind up with finding a balance of passion and development cost. I'm experimenting with idle games because they seem like a genre that allows for strong thematic expression and fast development speed, but the lack of mechanical gameplay makes me want to scrap my project and work on something more conventional.

>>538842762
>I can make any kind of game.
Okay. Make an RPG systems based game in 3D and with full on voice acting.

>>538843296
Did you not read the rest of his post? The development time would take too long. I assume he wants the process to remain profitable.

Making a little burning torch is a bit more janky than I expected.

enticement

shotgun has more sounds n is better animated now
the tutorial rererework is gonna get done today
i gotta study for my drivers liscence still

>>538843390
Then he can't "make any kind of game".

>>538843649
characters shouldn't carry torchers in front of their faces because the glare would blind them. torches should be carried above eye level. be the first gamedev that gets this right.

>>538843898
Yes he can.

>>538843885
how do you texture all of this?

>>538843898

>>538844109
probably something similar to this
https://youtu.be/2a_VtQJHkb8?t=253

if i won the lottery my life would look the exact same as it does now
making games is incredibly fun

imagine making a 3D RPG in 2025

>>538844109
literally all 3D assets for this game are free from itch
BUT for stuff like my little buratino here
it depends, if its something that already exists i find pictures online and put together a texture sheet for it, you could do this easily for the shotgun
if not, i draw it by hand

no, you're just a hyperentitled gamerbrained piece of shit. it's impossible to please you consoomer scum

>>538844494
cool, all the best for your game anon

How long after putting the Steam page up should a game be released? I'm targeting Steam page in December at the latest then launch 3 months after.

>>538838680
i dont have prog anymore because my depression and self esteem problems made me stop all game dev...

Posted my demo day demo on Reddit. Got like 40 more people to play it, but no one left any feedback beyond "this is fun." Why are Redditors so useless?

Should've made a dig-like.

>>538844670
that could be true

>>538844735
the only reason to delay launch after the page is public is to farm wishlists/gain attention for your game before release, and make more money
if you don't care about money, you can release it as soon as possible
if you want to increase revenue, advertising the game while the page is active is a good way to gain wishlists and build "launch momentum"
steam's promotion algorithm works through revenue periods, so amount of revenue your game generates in a short period of time, normally a week, i think, directly relates to how much promotion your game receives
if you release a game and make 10 sales, your game will remain hidden, revenue is too low
if you make the store page public, farm wishlists from advertising and promotion campaigns, release your game afterwards, and get 1000 sales, the revenue your game has generated will increase the exposure it receives on steam
it all really depends on how much you want to set your game up for steam algorithm promotion after launch
keep in mind, your game can have a weak launch and still find success later on, there is no "dead" point for a game in regards to the algorithm
if you release a game, and it's stagnant for years, but then it suddenly blows up and becomes popular, the algorithms will notice the increase in revenue, and begin promoting your game
so again, it really depends on how much money you plan on making
i don't know what your game is, but three months should be a decent amount of time to build hype for an indie game with humble expectations, just be sure you're posting about it and building support

>>538845091
>popular game but in unreal with multiplayer
why do "asians" do this

>>538844597

its that simple

How would you make a game based off this image?

>>538845470
hence why i said "think it sucks"
my taste in games is very abnormal

I don't want to go into work early....

>>538838719
If you're just getting into clicker games you're in for a bad time because it feels like someone just released a tutorial for a game where you're in an arena while your health is ticking down, and when you die the skill tree is a node tree with marginal upgrades and everyone is copying it without adding anything useful.
If you want the good ones you have to go back a few years, here are some of the best ones the genre has to offer in my opinion, based on the fact that they're not just "number go up" but actually add interesting mechanics:
Universal Paperclips
Alkahistorian Series
Crank
A Dark Room
Candy Box 1 & 2
Wigmaker

>>538844849
Same.. I made no progress this week. It's hard to get motivated and do shit with depression. I'm going to try to make some prog today. Good luck fren, I hope you get out of the rut today

how the FUCK do i make fantasy psx stuff if im just photo bashing. do i need to hand paint this?

>>538845091
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOJdA4JDLBV/
this was shilled on social media pretty aggressively
i remember seeing a post while scrolling instagram reels, not the one i linked, but another one
the top comment had 50,000 likes, and was insulting the game for being friendslop
the slop -> shill formula seems to work pretty well

>>538846094
lol, sounds like you're describing nodebuster and all of the clones it inspired
i'll check those games out, thanks

management/business sim where instead of making cars or games or whatever you make fembots.
you need to pay attention to market trends, to take advantage of economies of scale, to incorporate latest hardware, etc.
but there's also a tower defense component (I thought xcom like tactics component but let's avoid the tactics curse) where hordes of feminists want to burn down your factory and your fembots are the only ones who can defend it so as you progress you need to balance the fembots' market appeal with their combat capabilities.
please someone start making this so I don't project hop again.

>>538846427
Yeah that's the one, really ruined browsing itch for new games.
You could also scroll through https://galaxy.click for other stuff, it's a fairly decent site for games.
There's also https://plaza.dsolver.ca/games but it's currently down, worth to check every now and then to see if it's up.
As a last resort there's also the weekly game recommendation thread on r/incremental_games, the sub used to be a good place to find games but like 2 or so years ago the genre kinda flatlined.

>>538846117
this week? i have made zero progress since i released my game one year ago

>>538846827
>r/incremental_games
it seems the users there noticed the same problems you have
https://www.reddit.com/r/incremental_games/comments/1ndx45w/someone_obviously_used_an_evil_genie_to_wish_for/

i think this genre is due for a revival
a high quality incremental game would be perfect right now, especially in contrast to the flood of low effort clones being released

Released update, I'll push it to itch. But one of the bigger things I don't have the time today to look at.

how hard is it to make a traditional rpg in rpgmaker if you have 0 knowledge or experience with game and mechanics design

>>538849231
very hard

>>538849231
very easy

Chris Wilson inspired me to work on my hardcore action rpg anime minecraft game again

Currymongrel status?

>>538849942

>>538849292
>>538849413
ok
what about if i just want to make a mystery vn game? kind of like danganronpa but without the 3d

>>538849231
my first one took 3 months and my second 2 weeks, I could remake the first game in less than a month now if I wanted to with the same quality it ended up being.

>>538850659
how long was it?

>>538850818
Around 10 hours of content. The main RPG maker has dungeon generators you can edit and get plugins for messing with it, making layouts doesn't take long. Once the sprites are set up, map creation is quick and easy where you can do a massive chunk of them in an hour. Don't use the default sprites they are fucking ass.

>>538851456
it's a good game engine, it has a bunch of flaws and utter lack of control where using unity/unreal is better for most game ideas. I've faced many problems where making it in Unity/Unreal wouldn't have those problems and workarounds. Only use it for smaller games.

>>538844494
You know, I will actually consider taking a look at your game just because you decided to base the characters on Buratino instead of Pinocchio.
Please, when you have a demo going, make a Mac port.

Theoretically, since zoomers and alphas lack any kind of attention span, arcade-type games should be making a return. Just short and addictive games.

>how is this even fun?
The fun behind most tabletop games comes from making the best of what you're given and outplaying your opponent, and most non-RPG tabletop games are relatively short so they can be enjoyed in small bursts. A game of dominion for example goes for about 10-20 minutes. But the downside is that you need a table to play on, and in most cases, someone to play with. With video games you don't need any of that.

Summoned a friend to help me work on my game...

Commute. After taxes I'll probably see less than $40 an hour. It's definitely a bad deal, but I've got kids to feed.

Around 100 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.
About 700 games in the week around your release.
AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.
Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)

Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 100 games a day, 3000 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."

>>538878616
You can have 3 chapters and turn it into a gimmick.
1st chapter - all arms
2nd chapter - no arm
3rd chapter - all arms but upgraded now.
It can give each chapter a distinctive feel, give you better and concise design goals, and for the players, a good sense of progression.

>>538878616
>Any idea as to what the frequency of this item should be?
No and you won't know either until you play test. How often can you lose it? How fun or challenging is it not having an arm? It all depends and only testing will tell you the answers.

AI voice acting is literally the most ethical use of generative AI.
The voice actors on sites like ElevenLabs both consented and are being paid when you use their voice.
Both AI code and AI art models are trained on the stolen works of creators who will never see a dime for what the AI produces.
Guess what /agdg/ is okay with though? Hint: Its not AI voice acting.

Again, do you have proof that this data is "unauthorized"? If they have paid voice actors they could've simply used them to generate new data, like how Apple did with whoever was the actress for Siri.

>>538884601
you have a severe lack of understanding of this tech and it shows, u have a mental block rn cause u have some idea that this is unethical but u also dont want to stop using the one u thought was more ethical. just realize ur in coping mode and just keep using it. who cares if the voice data used was authorized or not.

I'm going to trust you guys are learn 3d modelling to make my own models for my rpg instead of using unity assets. It's going to take a significant amount of time to learn 3d modelling and animation, so I hope you were not crabbing.

>game made by me
>arisu's reaction

It's fucking always like this with anti-AI trannies - you start digging deeper into them and they don't just not understand the tech they're talking about, they don't even have logical thinking or reasoning. It makes sense then that these people cave in to peer pressure and general consensus like this. Makes me think back to that 4chan screencap of "is this true?"

Damn dude, I just realized there are only 4 fundamental interactions in a video game.

On the contrary, the people who understand AI the least are also those who are the most against AI (there is no AI, just noising and denoising algorithm as well as very large language models trying to reconstruct answer to questions asked).

Wait a second, chuds.

There's four basic interactions between characters in videogames, but there's also a limited number of victory conditions in games.
Basically the victory conditions are race to the first position, reach to X position alive, survive waves of enemies, control more territory, gain more points, collect all tokens, kill a certain enemy, protect an object.

And there's a limited number of game overs, basically reach 0 HP, allied token dies, reach the end of the level and timer.

it's just that nobody cares

I keep getting followed by vtubers on X. What's their deal?

I really like the campaign
I really like figuring out a character
I really don't like mapping

most of it is just becomes bugman collecting and gambling
I want to FIND better gear but I can't I have to sit here either clicking orb or searching for things nobody will ever bother to make because its not a mirror quiver

The fact that BOSSES are not default on maps also makes it extremely fucking not enjoyable. The best part about this game is fighting bosses, they do unique moves, you have to avoid them they're not just a HP inflated entity with generic attacks that has 3-4 annoying to deal with modifiers.

my dopamine shoots up everytime something valueable drops and then it just craters because the actual gamestage is so fucking uninteresting.

no, dumbass. your game needs a sort of mascot that carries over to other games like tardnite, if it has no mascots then it can still be a successful great game but no company will want your character because it has no known character/mascot, ya dip

That's much harder than just modelling a key.

I just realized a game doesnt need 500 hours of 500 levels, It only needs a proper theme story being told using a basic hero's journey adventure, and the properly set a collection of levels thematically coherent with the plot, where there is a game over transition condition, a bridge cutscene, and a proper combat mode made of the 4 basic interactions symbolically representing the theme conflict, and some game over and victory conditions to the stage level play.

>>538888989
I like that you can resize the window however you wish. Everything but the menus is working as intended, so I figured it would be an easy fix. Also, cool boss fight.

video games are 1% assets, 5% content, and 94% ironing out dogshit edge cases no person should realistically ever run into

>>538897472

>he fell for the "pedos hate mature women" meme

Let's say I have an achievement that goes: score 10, 20, 30, 40... points. I'm planning on checking the player score in player stats when game loads and if the player score is 35, I will mark it as player has achieved first 3 levels of this achievement. So if I later change the numbers it won't create a confusion. I won't have separate achievements as "score 10 points", "score20 points"... I will have one achievement with array of milestone values. This is correct right? I thought this was smart so I can adjust them later and also I was planning on just making local achievements, then I thought I would need to structure my achievements in the second way if I want to register to the app store, google play or steam. I haven't tried setting achievements at the store side so I don't know how things work.

>>538902291
yes it's just an array is all it is and you're checking what the player's index is in the array upon load, yes. achievements in any store are hardly any extra code, same logic applies and you let the store know

sorry but begging for fanart online will never not sound pathetic to me

I lost another day

I really like the vague storytelling in this game, also this has been the longest demo of all for me, I can't believe the dev left so many levels here.

I agree a bit with the streamer that some checkpoints/spawn points would've been welcome in some levels (the second level is a bit too long). The first area of the second world is more or less cinematic for instance. I've been enjoying it so far, the music is amazing.

how will you design a rougelite with lots of bosses? like hades only has like 5 bosses but what if i want 15-20 bossess?

boss rush
but you should make one boss before you settle on 15-20

>>538903987
Have all bosses be chosen at random, have each biome choose from a set of bosses at random, or have lots of biomes, one for each boss

I'd pick the second option

my controllers left analog is sticking slightly when I move it to the right and now I feel like I'm not getting the full gamefeel when I playtest its so over

>>538904152
not a boss rush meat of the combat will be against normal enemies
>>538904214
random wouldn't fit, i was maybe thinking to have permanent checkpoints at 5th 10th 15th bosses

I don't know if he's aware of it or not, but he's doing that monopolist thing where they use their economies of scale competitive advantage to drive down prices so that competitors can't enter the market.

Not that there's anything wrong with that (monopolies forcing lower prices is part of why "monopolies are good, actually") per se, it's just kind of odd what with how the fans try to pretend the game is some anti-monopoly/anti-caplitalism thing.

I'm glad you enjoyed it senpai, I don't wanna nerf the bat since it's fun as it is but I gotta figure ways to encourage more gun shooting.

Playing POE2 again this time with Hollow Palm Technique and I'm finally having fun with the game. You know I've wondered about this for a long time but why is it an ARPG standard that melee characters have to be on a constant loot treadmill but wizard characters get to use their weapons as mere statsticks?

Having options for player expression is always good. The guns serve their purpose, especially on replays. I also see nothing wrong with letting people bruteforce things personally.

>>538911791
>why is it an ARPG standard that melee characters have to be on a constant loot treadmill but wizard characters get to use their weapons as mere statsticks?
idk what you mean by this

>>538911124
This is true, especially for bandwagon moral crusaders. Most people don't have the maturity to understand themselves, let alone other people. That's different from the kind of real empathy that creatives use to create truly moving pieces of art.

>>538912490
in most games you start with a 1-4 dagger then upgrade it to a 2-8 dickdagger then a 3-12 dickassdagger and constantly have to get better and better base items in addition to needing better enchantments on top of the superior base weapon, whereas a wizard can find a +1 fire skill wand and use it from levels 5-50 until they find a +2 fire skill wand instead of having spell damage be based on your wand's base damage

I do not follow you?

What kind of game would suit this style? Neon cities, skyscrapers, main character has a high apartment overlooking the city, etc.

>>538912689
I don't know of any games that do that do I can only guess. My guess would be that having a melee weapon is relatively boring compared to the fantasy of being able to cast spells, so in order to spice of the "boring" melee fantasy developers add more incentives for melee players to change out their weapon. Whereas people who like playing as wizards are perfectly fine using the same shit as long as they get to shoot fireballs.

>>538918951
If you want to make a game (or any piece of media) set in the modern world you need to have a really good reason for it. It's difficult to create compelling stories within a modern environment since many people play games/read books/watch movies as an escape from the real world. They often don't want to be presented with the same problems they might encounter in their own lives, they want something different.
An obvious exception to this is when you take en existing story set in a different time period and move it to the modern day, which helps the viewer/reader/whatever better relate to the themes of the story by viewing the characters in scenarios they're more familiar with.

This figure comes from reports stating that Konami’s promotional efforts for the 1998 release—including television and magazine advertisements, in-store sampling, and distributing 12 million demo discs—totaled around that amount. This was a major marketing push at the time, contributing to the game's huge success and global visibility.

>>538928019

Many companies operate kinda like that at the start. But you definitely need connections, or at least notoriety. How far along is your game? How much money do you need?

I meant sell the idea to friends&family. Because it means there is a chance it might not make profit.

>How much money do you need?
My credit card debt is getting bigger because of the inflation. I am able to survive but it's putting a lot of stress on me.

>How far along is your game?
It's pretty playable so far. At least on my phone. I haven't uploaded to a store yet and I still need to do the ads/in app purchasing stuff. I'm working solo so I need to edit/modify the assets I downloaded and even create some assets myself. That would be the most challenging part I assume for me.

>chamber of commerce
etc would be too big for my game.

I had good relations and one of my friends seemed interested in investing my game but at the time I was going through things and I just couldn't even concentrate on my work. I was very skeptical of myself. Now looking back, I realize I could have finished my game long time ago but my mind was just not in peace. These days I'm feeling more calm and collected but the damage has been done.

It's a single player 2d basketball shooting game by the way. So it's nothing exciting for potential investors I think. If it makes money it makes but it would be a bit unexpected. Maybe I'm judging it wrong I don't know.
