why doesnt it care that the tranime hurt xer leg? is the hero of that story a heartless bastard?

my game won't have little girls on it, i am not sorry.

After watching yesterday's direct, I can only say Nintendo is evil. These niggers limit is the depth of your wallet. There's nothing to get out of console gaming anymore.

>>538968346 (OP)
Here some progress of this week:

1) New crystal helper “Energizing Crystal”
- replenishes energy (for characters with energy)

2) New crystal helper “Support Crystal”
- Restores health (only works in combat or when health is low)

My goals for today:
>model something
>learn how to unwrap it
>learn how to texture it
>get the texture into Blender and onto the model
What should I make?

>>538969029
Literally mogs blackpill losers just existing

>>538969850

3) Redesigned the selection of new characters, now there are two rosters instead of one, separately for level 1 beginners and experienced adventurers.

4) After unlocking all 24 character slots, a second tab appears in the tavern with a limit of 24 more character slots.

>>538969875

He launched his game 4 months ago. His wife is mentally building a case for leaving him, but that takes time even if her logistics are in place and they probably aren't.

Quite frankly, Papers Please is lame. What, choose between ethics and saving your dying family? Boooring. In a really dystopian future, you should have to balance ethics ...
and your pet bunny. Take notes, chumps.

>>538969094
Yeah, it's called being a woman. You just like buying shit to make up for your lack of a personality.

Items show up in the dialog box now when you can use them in a conversation.

defoldbros they're escaping the godot containment and invading our chud engine
what do we do?

>>538972000
That's a great quality of life improvement actually. Maybe the same could be done to all item prompts? Like combining items. I also think pickable items in the overworld should be outlined or more attention grabbing, that would make the item system more fun.

>>538972580
>I'm happy at my job
this nigga happy at his job

>>538972627
I gave it an honest try, but the whole message parsing shit just was too confusing

>>538972580
I got into gamedev out of financial desperation. It worked out for me (so far) but I still envy people who can simply get jobs.

>>538972580
Sorry. Once you go corporate you can never go back, it's like selling your soul. I know a corpodev when I see one.

>>538972705
true
it's a solution that doesn't require making new icons, too. dirk is improving

>>538973501
it's literally just more powerful signals, the editor makes it confusing as fuck to find the right id but once you understand messaging it's incredibly powerful and efficient, defold is the only engine where i don't mind refactoring because of messaging

>>538973940
Awesome. Maybe I should implement something similar in my game too...

>>538972580
>I don't see how this creates value
That's your soul telling you you need to make something that matters, not a crappy emulation of a retro game.

My advice is to actually watch better cinema and read literature and read history books.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf8EYbVxtCY

The value of real art, is one that allow you to see like a mirror the human soul, naked, in all the good things, but also to recognize the horrors of what lies in our history.

We need games that are bold and willing to show future generations a warning so they can improve.

Make a game about genocide of kids in gaza, but make it in a smart way, not le edgy dead kids.

Make a game about enviromental destruction of animals and plants by corporations.
Make a game about racial discrimination of inmigrants.
Make a game about religious conflicts.
Make a game about wealth disparity.
Make a game about poverty.
Make a game about people that dissapears on dictatorship for just having a diferent opinion.

>>538972705
Thanks, I was showing the game to younger kids and they were focusing mainly on picking stuff but interactions with characters were always the most confusing part for them. I want to keep picking up items in the overworld and combining items the way it's now. Items are visible enough, I think, and some, like mushrooms, that seem to be just a part of the scenery, are much more visible once you read that one book with cooking recipes.

>>538974950
Make a game about throwing communists out of helicopters on other communists.

i always forget cris is a commie that defends china

I think I figured out why the platforming genre has faced a complete rejection by Steam players.

1) Saturation. Too many low quality slop coming out.
2) Foreign markets like China don't have nostalgia for platformers since they didn't grow up with NES, SNES etc.
3) Zoomers grew up with 3D platformers like Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank.

>>538975256
lol you newfags dont know that cris is schizophrenic and switches personalities all the time? although he always has been anti-war as far as i remember

>>538974950
ok cris

>>538975849
modern war is not le fun sword game of le ancient based samurai that fight with le trained bullshido of the anime summon syphil nintendo skill.

modern war is just being droned and bombed without a chance to cover.

It's just the murder of civilians as a way to make sure the other surrenders.
There's no glory on modern war, unless you consider bombing childrens with a missile to be some honorable code of modern bullshido.

>>538975261
1. The audience for platformers was never huge, they were just the only games coming out. Indie games as a whole really exploded when other genres started being explored.
2. Platformers as a whole have stagnated hard and players want new things.

>>538975261
>Foreign markets like China don't have nostalgia for platformers since they didn't grow up with NES, SNES etc.
not true, there were dozens of NES ripoffs produced in china, Ending-man, Terminator, Dandy, Pegasus, most pirate originals were done by chinese programmers.
t. proud owner of 168 in 1 cartridge

>>538975075
Interesting.

>>538975261
2d formers still do well, like Ambidextro. Also, didn't China create lots of bootlegs for the NES and SNES?

>>538974950
You don't have a soul

>>538976639
Not that interesting, have you seen these Paw patrol games? 600 dog treats in a level, 10 levels, $40 please. These games aren't going on sale either, Witcher 3, Dead Island, Dying Light, MGSV, Serious Sam, all of these games went at least once for -80% now, Paw Patrol is like -30% at best. But do you know what's the latest fad? Brainrots. If you can make a shitty platformer with brainrots to collect kids will kill their parents to play it.
That's your Dirk's tip of the day.

>>538969029
TOTAL SASQUATCH B DOMINATION

>>538969156
did he lol?

>>538975261
>the platforming genre
This is like saying "the third person genre".
There are many different types of games that use a 2D side scrolling perspective but offer wildly different gameplay systems and appeal to wildly different audiences. Celeste and Blasphemous are both platformers and yet those games are nothing alike.
Certain types of platformers are oversaturated, sure. After Celeste's success a ton of devs started making "movement platformers" that all had air dashes, wall jumps, wall slides, etc. where the goal was to just traverse platforms without dying. But there are still ways to iterate on the platformer template and make something new and interesting. Like what Dirkdev is doing by combining platformer elements with traditional adventure game elements >>538972000 . I'm surprised there aren't more modern games like that already.

>>538969029
>house
wasn't he getting a loan for his mortgage do develop a game?

>>538979013
cropollution 2 will pay for dat

I want to make a mystery game set in a very specific type of environment but I cant think of any ideas for the plot past a certain point.
I've decided I'm just going to make the entire environment first until I have a fleshed out world I can walk around in, then see if I can get inspiration based on what I have for how the story can progress.
I like this idea, I think it could be fun.

>>538977924
>Brainrots
I still don't know what this word (noun) means.

>>538974184
Is this the haunted chocolatier keep hearing about

>>538979335
how tf do people jerk off to this
there's so much porn of this character

>>538978768
True, but it's not that fresh. I think that Dizzy The Adventurer did that already and I'm kinda taking elements from that game too. I'm also pretty sure there were games like that in the Amiga/Commodore times and they've been phased out by Mariolikes, Soniclikes and Megamanlikes.
>>538979528
AI generated images that combine two ideas, like shark wearing sportshoes or ballerina with a cappucino head. Also they originated from italy, I guess it's also important.

>>538979786
teenagers with hormonal imbalance will jerkoff to characters from games they play, this is the character for that generation
just like yours jerked off to sonic or whatever

>>538979786
like most pornsick freaks they just draw a generic anime body and swap the head out

>>538953187
We don't like anime over here. Don't post tranime pictures if you want devs to wish you luck.

>>538980404
>replying to a 10 hours old tranime post
why tough
there are literal progress posts in this thread without feedback

Normal people feel bad about doing that to their waifu

>>538979786
People with an unironic porn addiction like to pornify everything. Although I'm sure most artists give her fat tits and thighs, most porn is not on-model

>>538980675
I want tranime posters to know the hatred I feel for them.

>>538980684
Times have changed, check any general in /vg/, it's all porn.

>offer my composer to pay for multiple tracks upfront in advance multiple times

Why is he like this?

>>538981253
He wants to be able to ditch you when you become unbearable.

>>538981253
hes already planning on having a mental breakdown and cutting all contact with everyone halfway through the project so you'll have to hire someone else and hope they can produce something that sounds similar enough

>>538981253
Offer him drugs.

>>538981372

>>538980684
Hey aren't you that guy who used to come into the thread sloppy drunk and cry about how some locals at a bar hate you just because you're an outspoken pedo?

Is it true you hurt someone due to riding your motorcycle drunk?

I'm so glad that I can shit out my music myself.

shit out is right

>>538981921
Well, some people just want to make something good and not "shit out music".

>>538969850
Good UI art.

now that the dust has settled, what went wrong? farming games do well on steam and it's made by a big youtube gamedev

>>538982505
fatfuck gabencunt sabotaged this game

godot the piece of shit crashed again and corrupted my files because i moved 1 .json file from 1 folder to the other and i have to go back to a 6 hours old git backup
what a fucking piece of shit
what a fucking piece of dogshit engine

>>538982902
funny of you to assume this is exclusive to godot. unreal is significantly worse at this. I haven't had godot do this to me yet but I also compile it myself to be on the latest version. thanks for the reminder to push my updates, though.

So I've got a bunch of little guys pathfinding through a map and then shooting each other on sight, but I can't make up my mind about the bullet effects. The aesthetic I'm going for is a retro 3-bit computer simulation of two forces zerg rushing each other in various settings. Ideally there will be at least a couple hundred soldier objects on screen at once using my laptop's performance as a benchmark.

A: bullets appear instantaneously within a radius centered on the enemy, superposition means a hit, otherwise play impact animation

B: same as above but with short lines drawn at the ends of the bullet's implied path

C: bullet is a solid object projected from the shooter at nigh-hitscan speed, destroys self after travelling x pixels in length, impact animation if it hits a wall, destroys self and target on collision

>>538984701
Implement all 3 of them and pick the better one

Is working with an engine really that much more streamlined if you're not doing 3D? At the end of the day you'll be writing a ton of code anyway and the issues that crop up seem to be more esoteric and hard to track down.

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.

His gf left him for 73 reviews he might never find another partner, most devs won't even make it to 73 reviews. What can we learn from this?

You do include refund instructions into your game in case it's too hard, right? Wouldn't want to steal money from some normie who's not a real gamer.

>>538991183

It's that easy. Maybe you're just retarded and know that you're incapable of getting past the dozen failures required to git gud.

>>538968148
The theory I've seen floated is that the devs working with UE5 don't understand the engine and that Nanite, if used on a traditional workflow that basically every development studio uses, will singularly fuck your entire game up. Because Nanite is built to render everything in a frame. Things that are hidden by overlap aren't rendered because they're treated like they don't exist. This way, Nanite lets you utilize full scale for everything. Like actually modelled grass instead of using grass cards. Now, the traditional pipeline is to used masked textured. Masked textures overlap and create an illusion of density and depth. If you take masked textures and run them through the UE5 processing for enabling Nanite, you're telling the engine to render everything. And thus the savings from the masked texture method turns into a deathblow for performance.

>>538995263
PSA . If you don't have 10 people in your pocket ready to drop a positive review as soon as your game drops then wait to release until you do.

>>538995263
I'm on you same camp, but I'm happy to improve my skills and get better, even if nobody gives a shit.

Fame and money is something more related to being a nepo baby.

As long as you're happy with your games, why not just enjoy them?
Like make the ideas you always wanted to make, not form money or fame.

>>538996634
Basically, devs misuse very powerful tools and it guarantees games will run like shit.

I'll also mention that the people who are like, "I can just subdivide everything to shit and Nanite will fix EEEEEEEVERYTHING" should be beaten with a wooden spoon until they stop being retarded.

normaltroon gamerpig sloppers cannot handle SOVL we know that
right mogs im afraid

>>539003062

It appears as if they hate my proggers.

Blender noob question. I'm trying to make a door frame in this wall. I'd like to be able to drag the bottom face of this section up independently of the adjacent bottom face, but so far I can't figure out how to do that. Is there a command for this?

>>539003531
That's, uh, not good. Speaking from experience.

>>539004412
Neat but I don't understand what she's saying.

>>539004612
Select the two side edges of the door frame on both sides of the wall and right click, select subdivide, and keep the number of cuts at 1. Select both new edges, press gg to slide them up or down to your desired position. Then select the faces where the door is supposed to go, and deleted them. Then select the vertices where each section of the door frame is supposed to be(select only one rectangular section at a time) and press f to fill them in.

i checked on this since it was bullied but it looks like the dev left agdg and released another flop...

>>539005128
This is what I ended up doing. I loop cut the wall with the door, deleted the faces created below the top of the door, and filled the faces around it. Probably not the smarted way to go about it, but it worked.

you do have IRL friends... right?

>>539007073
IDK about souless, but Children of a Dead Earth is boring as fuck despite being "Realistic"
Sad fact is space is really boring 99% of the time. There's a reason normies stopped caring about it after the moon landing.

yeah if you're aiming for realistic. idk why we haven't seen a cool subnautica type game but in space

how much you pay for AI per month?

>>539005753
It worked out well. As you make more stuff, you'll start figure out what works best. You should look into uvs and texturing asap too, because how you want to uv unwrap things can potentially play a part in how you build it.

>>539007073
soft scifi is fundamentally the most soulless thing possible no matter what
the issue with scifi is that (You) cant be a midwit and you actually need to know what the fuck you are doing, but if you do its gonna be automatically soulful since youre pouring that much effort into it

a lot of Negative reviews should add an automatic discount the game.

>>539008402
paid 160 for one year of claude and also pay for cursor, and now also chatgpt because codex has a vs code extension

>>539009013
>a lot of Negative reviews should add an automatic discount the game.
Oh good, that means I'll get you game for free then.

>>539007206
I fucking love when I start a game and I'm immediately in the world. It just feels better than wading through a bunch of story I'm not invested in yet. And I don't even hate story in games, I just like that immediate control.

>>539009178
It's 3 to 1 but this anon is right
Also without any experience my cinematic would suck fat ass

>>539009178
Is it fine if the intro cutscene just explains what's your task and what's going on at this moment?

in reality it's Kojima who copied you but he did this by going into the future and taking your idea and then coming back to our timeline, causing divergence in time-line continuum and thus rendering you unable to start your project

Now use this as the plot of your game.

"Hard" scifi does not exist. It's just space fantasy for retards who think they are better than others. The science is all fucked up in all scifi, even the "hardest" of them. Soft scifi is fantasy stories in space. As soulful as it gets. Hard scifi is number wankery and "science" for retards that is as far from realistic as any generic fantasy story. Name ONE actually realistic hard scifi work. You can not do that.

Work hard while you're still young. Live with minimum expenses, save all the money you can save and invest it. If you do it right you can retire in your 30s. After that you get the rest of your life for creative pursuits.

Enjoy working while you still can. You will reach a point where the corporate world does something to you that sours the experience. That's when you start looking inwards again. My only tip is to save money so you can more easily pivot when that time comes.

changed from hterrain to terrain3d. hterrain has better tools but terrain3d is much faster and is much more flexible. I really wish terrain3d would add an erode option.

How do you write a generalized tween system for unity? You need multiple types of target objects (eg. Transform, RectTransform, Rigidbody, Rigidbody2D...) and multiple types of values (eg. Vector2, Vector3). I just couldn't figure out how to structure it. Do I have to write them all separately? I want a component in which I can select for example tweentype ChangeColor, and choose target SpriteRenderer. Or tween type Move and pick Transform, RectTransform, Rigidbody etc.
Do I make something like this:

Tween
{
EasingType easingType
float duration
T0 targetObject
T1 fromValue
T1 ToValue
}

I got stuck after this. Do I have to write a tween class for each of Unity's component types by hand? Like this:
ChangeSpriteRendererColorTween : TweenBase
MoveRigidbody2D : TweenBase

why don't you just use a pass-through/wrapper type function? i don't know unity but in godot you can just use an autoload/global and call it through any script such as foobar.print_hello_world("test") with foobar being the pointer call.

>>539048321
I don't know what you're referring to exactly, please explain more.

>>539048507
Ignore what I said, it doesn't really apply here. I just don't know enough about C# or Unity to help you.

Added some buttons that let you quickly move to a game mode's next/previous level. Also added the ability to zoom the map in and out. This isn't really useful at the moment, since everything is so close together, but later, once there are more levels, this should come in handy.

there are degrees of realism just like in non-scifi works, but anything that has FTL is just as much fantasy as AD&D.

>>539050393
>but anything that has FTL is just as much fantasy as AD&D.
I was going to disagree with you but Planet of the Apes and 2001 both use cryo freezing to transport people long distances. I can think of Shadowrun being super D&D but I don't know if that universe has FTL.

Looks like the best approach for getting accurate convex colliders is to create a copy of the mesh and slice up all the main sections instead of just adding a bunch of sphere colliders.

I made some bombs as a new item. I'm getting the feeling like it's probably going to be best to ditch the sci-fi theme of dome keeper and go for something more medieval, religious and other worldly. The sci-fi theme isn't given me a lot of inspiration for usable items.
Maybe instead of a scientist on an alien planet, you're an angle looking to establish a new world for life to exist on. I'll think about it.

Damn, a week passed already and I didn't finish your game on time to give you some feedback, but I liked it a lot.
Also here's a fanart.

I like fight knight, it's stylish, ranges between amusing and funny, quirky. but I guess I'm just not good enough and don't have the patience to run back to town several times per floor to not lose my progress.

Game design is the hardest part of gamedev.

good morning everypony
i just learnt something about my body

when i do physical tasks (like gardening) first thing in the morning
i feel so much more motivated and focused for the rest of the day

happy devving

game design is not hard at all, people just don't bother trying to study it like they do with literally everything else

Seriously though, what's so bad about AI voice acting? It frees me up a lot in terms of budget and time and it can be very easily replaced by anyone at any moment, it's just audio files. It's not like AI arts or AI models which would actually require me, the dev to do it.

>>539065027
retard

>>539065027
correct.

>>539065373
because the dev voice acting his own game is raw sovl essence

>>539065027
it's easy if you're making a game you're passionate about
it's hard if you're trying to make a game that some theoretical target audience would enjoy

>>539061281
streamer exposure isn't as potent in sales conversions as one would expect, i believe this could be due to stream watchers tuning in to witness the streamer, regardless of the game they play
youtube videos tend to be much more effective at converting exposure to sales, and short form content tends to be best at generating initial support

I keep asking this of people like you, how am I supposed to have female voice over in my game if I'm a male? I don't have female friends to ask for this, and my mom doesn't speak English.

alternatively get a voice changer

>>539067550

So AI voice acting? Seems counter-intuitive to say "DON'T USE AI IT'S LE BAD!" only to turn around and say "eh alternatively you can use ai voice acting I guess"

That's fine, I'm glad you liked it. I also didn't give enough feedback to many games but I was playing some of the games after DD. I just like to play long enough until I have a good feel of the game and if the demo has an ending I usually try to finish it. That means I'm usually playing only couple of games.

I'm always happy to change my mind so I will play your egg game. But if I don't like it you'll get an earful

>>539083958
I have hundreads of objects with delays/one time timers in them
Apparently they are very costly since unreal checks them every tick, so I decided to put all of them in one data srtuct with time of activation and check in cycle

>>539084407
use something like iterate 100, then pause a frame then do the update of the rest in a diferent frames.

Basically having them not be 60 FPS their updates, but a single loop that updates using a timer every second.

60 frames * 100 chunks = 6000 objects per second loop.

If your concern is their motion, then update their movement vector a 1 FPS, or 4 FPS.

>check out that Fumes game
>it indeed has you shooting at enemy with 10 seconds
Damn nice

>>539083789
>idea 24
A "clicker/number go up game" but in 3D first person, you have to bring an egg from the chicken to a tube that takes it away. You can only carry 1 egg at a time, you get points for each egg, which you can unlock stuff that helps you bring more eggs at the same time, and faster to the tube, and eventually automate the whole thing, add more chickens, more eggs, etc.

>>539084275
>idea 33
Shark loan money recoverer simulator. You gotta go to people and beat them up to get the money back. It's low poly, kinda like Gang of Beasts + "Schedule I" style, so it's "cartoon violence", not too realistic. You can do "funny" stuff like putting their heads in the toilet or shaking them from the window.

>>539084701
cris I need them all to be checked each frame and activated in exact time (rounded by frame of course)

>>539085903
non player entities don't need to be updated at the same frame rate as the player.

>>539085624
24 sucks big time, 33 has potential but it has to have decent combis + interactivity and at least semi open world, maybe hub that connects to different areas, also you're a repoman because you have to pay your own debt yourself and you can gain money by underground ring fights or by beating random pedestrians

What I really like in games are obscure, hidden or otherwise unstated mechanics. Like, how in GTA 4, if your car's engine breaks down, you can use the kick button and kick the engine to start it back up. That's the kind of stuff I really like, and I've put it a lot in my games.

Problem is though, I already released a game with such an approach in it, and the result ended up that 90% of the players didn't figure out or find out these hidden mechanics. But explaining them and making them obvious would defeat the point for me. What do?

anti cris bros...

we got too cocky.

>>539086729
>What do?
Stop wasting time on those mechanics. Learn to prioritize, make a decently popular indie game first, once you have a significant fanbase then you can start adding secrets and easter eggs. Pic related added so many easter eggs and gimmicks and SOUL and it was all for nothing because he didn't prioritize making a successful game first.

>539087769
>prioritze making a game within unquatifiable, indefinable metrics

>>539087769
his capsule art really doesn't say anything about the game
>guy in bathrobe enters a furry hut and sees a dinosaur
if you saw this capsule in a list, would you consider looking at the steam page?

I'll be 100% honest.

The core reason why nobody gives a shit about your game, is that it looks like dog shit and poorly amateur programmer art.
The second, is that is the gameplay is a generic retro platformer or another farming clone or another depression jrpg.
The third, is that the story sucks and your characters don't have charisma and are lame.
The fourth is that your music isn't as iconic as understale or touhou or Tunic.
And there's nothing that make me like wanna pirate it, no big mistery, no promise of big adventure.

It's just a lame oatmeat soup of oats.
That's your game.

No amount of social media and marketing guru tricks can make people interested in your game, because there's nothing that make me wanna play it.

>>539088301
may you be free

>>539088301
>unquatifiable, indefinable metrics
My point was to make a lean product, retard. "Hidden/secret" mechanics are not crucial to your game's success, so don't waste time on them until you have a successful game first. Like wasting money adding flair to a ship that you don't know if it will even float.

>"Hidden/secret" mechanics are not crucial to your game's success
Nothing is. I don't even have to make a good game, just make some co-op friendslop, be as loud as you can about it and there you go, there's your successful game.

>>539088301
dude thinks "adding secrets" is more well defined than compelling core gameplay
then you wonder why no one bothered lol

>>539089571
I didn't even say whether my games were successful or not, that wasn't even the fucking point. All I said was that players didn't notice them and what to do about. You fucking morons once again pivoted it to "MUH STEAM REVIEWS" even though I literally did not ever imply any of that.

>>539086729

How do you move faces on the UV projection independently of each other in Blender? Does it require a specific type of UV projection?
I've seen videos where people will unwrap their model onto a large image texture and the move the faces around so that the texture lines up with how it's intended to on the model. Whenever I try to move the faces on my UV I'm unable to do it and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Here's a video showcasing what I mean: https://youtu.be/t_c58ryJ-Sw?si=is7BF63S3OKC6iaW&t=17
This isn't working for me.

>>539091986
Okay, well I've downloaded some models but I have no idea how to import them into blender or even how to replicate them really

>are you slightly in front of the zeitgeist

it takes a profound intuitive understanding of the world and the humans within it to answer this question

>>539096462
My game was in front of the zeitgeist when it released in 2024 and it failed. Now I'm up to the zeitgeist, but it's over.

>>539083808
...anyone smarter than cris?

>>539088708
Correct

>>539096348
I've partially figured it out. I had to enable face selection in the UV editor, then I can select the face in model edit mode, go back into the UV editor and select all to select the face I have select on the model, and then I can freely move around the face. This feels really clunky so I'm assuming it's not the correct was to do it, but it works.
However I can't view all of the faces on the unwrapped UV when I do this, only the one I currently have selected. So there's a lot of overlapping UV faces, which I'm assuming is bad.

Which forums do you use for seeing others game development, feedback and general discussion?
