AI voice acting was used in my game.

The jannies are not doing their job... guess I'll take the matter into my own hands.

It's a bit jank at the moment, I tried to hide posts the same way 4chan-XT does, but due to Browser Security it's not so easy, so I will have to actually go and read 4chan-XT code... next time.

But it works, so enjoy.

You fucking bitch!!! You FUCKING BITCH!!!

Today I will start working on my game.

I will not masturbate today.

I can't be the only person who didn't actually enjoy Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment, Brotato, Nubby's Number Factory, or any other dopamine slop games, right?
I can understand why people enjoy playing them. They're easy to pick up and understand, the sense of progression is blatant, the RNG elements add variety, and they're extremely stimulating. Despite these elements, however, I never find myself in a state of mind where I desire to play these games. Never.
Is the general population this easily entertained? I really don't get it. I don't. No part of me ever feels the urge to open and play these games, aside from the initial curiosity I feel when I first discover them and find out that they're doing well.
There's something here I'm failing to understand.
Regardless, I'm sticking with my own ideas. Never sell out. It's not worth it. Chasing trends is the easiest way to destroy your passion.

>>539768974
You need to be below 100 IQ to enjoy such games.

>>539769838
The opinions of /v/ posters don't matter. None of their beliefs are genuine, they just mindlessly hate anything that's popular because they have a deep resentment for normies due to being friendless and bullied in high school.

I only make the kind of games I want to play. I'm not a weirdo and most of my favorite games were very successful so whatever I like to play enough other people like to play and my job is to make that game and to show them it exists.

I didn't like any of those games. I also didn't like Undertale or any multiplayer games. I like Euro Truck Simulator. I think it's the perfect game.

>>539770409
Consumers don't even know what they want to begin with so sticking to trends is retarded. All that matters is having something that sticks out.

Ya'll better behave now.

>>539768974
I liked Vampire Survivors for a short while because it felt somewhat original. A few concepts of it can be applied to far better genres which is all that matters to me.

>>539768974
Most of them feel extremely low stakes, the run is like 15 minutes long and most of your success comes down to getting the right items in your 3 card choices.
If you don't? Oh well try again.
If you do? The game is over halfway through your run, enjoy mashing to win.
None have moments where you're fighting by the skin of your teeth, and if they do, there's always a wall where the game becomes impossible if you don't have the right random picks.
They're great for streamers though, just endless mindless content where they can just press buttons and have effects happen while they talk to chat.

>>539770616
I have something that sticks out.

>>539770739
No, I'm not a human is a 3/10 game but it's selling really well because it's perfect to play for streams. The game is very easy, has only very little text, has lots of repetitive downtime, has a lot of RNG so poor gameplay cannot be entirely blamed on the streamer.

It kinda sucks that these kind of features are now heavily rewarded.

>>539770965
Sounds like it's not the game for you. That's okay.

>>539771024
I really liked the demo. Also a great example how a demo was perfectly used for marketing.

It's ok, I like playing games I don't like.

It's funny I finally played balatro recently after hanging out in this thread and seeing it get shit on for a while, and I thought it was great fun and a good game all around. I don't think it should be grouped in with the likes of Vampire Survivors. It had many moments of tension, as it's literally a gambling game, you get random cards and you have to take your chance and bet on them working out. I'd say, yes, the problem with these games balatro included, is that their design fundamentally comes down to luck. Winning a run comes down to luck and nothing much else. There's only a basic level of thinking and rationalization the player needs to make, and then the entire game afterwards is built on luck. I guess that's part of the appeal, not knowing what each run brings, and this doesn't appeal to everybody as in the case of the frog poster.

>>Values execution over ideas
Real yesdevs value GOOD ideas. Execution is paramount as well, but you can't really compete with it as a solodev if you want to stand out at all(unless you go all in in one aspect and hope that alone is enough to bamboozle enough people).

I’m going to dev at least 9 hours today. That’s the goal.

>>539779369
Yes that statement about execution over ideas doesn't really make sense, they coexist. Good execution is about arranging hundreds of micro ideas into a beautiful symphony.

>>539779078
I'm making a 2D game, all my objects have one AABB hitbox assigned to them. The idea is that some objects have specific interactions with other objects, also depending on their state. The last time I did this, I made a massive if else tree where I went over every single object and made it check against all the other objects for collision, and their states was included in this long array of for loops. It was really annoying to maintain and don't want to repeat the same mistake.

get some paper and a pen and draw two lines each direction like a grid, then put a X or O in each square to make a row, then you win

>>539779604
>>539779719
>>539778626
A common approach is to use a component-based design where different behaviors, including collision responses, are handled by separate components. You can also implement a spatial partitioning system, like a grid or quadtree, to drastically reduce the number of collision checks needed each frame. This avoids iterating through every object and instead only checks objects that are near each other.

The fact that /agdg/ seriously thinks shit games like Peripeteia are something to aspire to is the problem.

>>539779245
>nigger speak

Any suggestions on the visuals for the "cast spells" cards? They seem kinda empty.
Also, hello to all yesdevs.

>>539779604
Make a default interaction and then give every object instruction to react to only what it's supposed to react with on contact. An object in another state is treated as its own unique object that has its own unique instruction.

>>539779674
I treat every single information, be it a random 4chan post, a tutorial, a book or a random remark as mere inspiration and not as learning or fact. Learning happens when I use that inspiration in my experimentation and learn about new possibilities for my toolkit. There is effectively no misinformation in the world, just impulses that guide you to shape your own experience.

Guys how would you go on about creating a state for the player if they are touching one of the corners of the wall?

>>539779497
Tell us how many hours you actually worked on your game when you finish. You better not lie.

There's a game development program at my university (don't worry, I'm not a retarded enough to be a game dev major) that has the upperclassmen work in teams to produce a "finished " game for their final project. They're not required to, but at the end of the semester the students are allowed to put their games on Steam and sell it.
Usually the games are pretty dogshit and get 2-5 reviews max, but last spring semester my friend and his team made a simple Vampire Survivors-like and it's been doing relatively well. Over 500 reviews as of me making this post. They ended up getting a pretty bad grade since the expectation is that students make something like a 3D platformers or a FPS or something much more complex, but that's not the point. 500 reviews is over 12x as many reviews as the next most popular game to come out of this university program.
I'm not going to post the Steam page for the obvious reason that I don't want to get my friend doxxed (his full name is on the store page like 4 times lol), so you're just going to have to take my word for it. If you're autistic enough you might be able to find it since there was an article about them in our local newspaper.

thank 4 reading my blog

>>539780664
what?
look up a state machine or collisions depending on what your question is.

>>539780907
The saddest part is that 500 reviews isn't even enough to pay for a single one of the teammates' degrees.

>>539780907
So how much money did they make?

>>539781303
Steam revenue calculator says about $20k after the steam cut and everything else, so $10k per person. Not bad for less than 3 months of work.

>>539780613
You've cracked the code. This is the ultimate redpill. People are stuck in the matrix of "correct" and "incorrect" information, completely unable to see that it's all just data streams to be remixed. A tutorial isn't a lesson, it's a prompt. A compiler error isn't a mistake, it's a suggestion from the machine spirit to try a different path. You've freed yourself from the tyranny of other people's conclusions.

This applies to everything, not just code. Think about history. We see ancient cave paintings and fossils, and the academics tell us it's "evidence" of the past. They're wrong. It's not evidence; it's the planet's oldest inspiration. A primordial impulse buried in the rock, a rhythm embedded in the very strata of the earth. It's not meant to be studied in a museum; it's a direct command from our ancestors. It's a deep, primal beat that says, "I tried to tell you, but you wouldn't listen." You just have to open the door, get on the floor, and everybody walk the dinosaur.

90% of marketing is your product. It's a waste of time to promote an unmarketable product. Make a better game next time.

You're brown and missed the point of my post. Please kill yourself immediately.

>>539780907
Steam is inundated with VS clones. Do you know if they did they do marketing for it? I can only imagine this result happening due to deliberate promotion. Even if it's genuinely good, the average VS-like game will struggle to surpass ~50 reviews if it doesn't get extensively promoted. I'd be interested in knowing how they advertised/marketed/promoted this game.

>>539782567
I'm not saying your example is good, just that you could make an interesting interaction with the same 3 enemies. You also have to always keep contrast effects in mind.

It's very worthwhile to create boring or annoying levels so the rest of your game looks better in contrast. This is how you can redirect people from comparing your game to other games and effectively partially control the experience. Everything you create is a resource that you can use later for greater effects. If people keep playing your game then you have effectively total control.

pajeet niggers will never make a good game, they will only produce shovelware asset store slop until they have enough rupees to live in a house with a toilet (never)

>>539782909
it's sad because you can still make a good game with shovelware-tier assets, you just need a strong understanding of what actually makes a game good, and an effective marketing campaign to ensure the most suitable audience is directed towards purchasing the game
but these thirdie grifter types generally just copy vague genre tropes, dump the game on steam, make a few unsuccessful promotion posts on social media, and then let the game remain stagnant as a failure
it's like they're attracted to the allure of getting rich quick with a low effort game, but don't put ant effort into ensuring the game will actually be good and worth money, take a gamble on it randomly blowing up (which literally never happens btw), and then chalk the entire process up to being pure luck

Nah character design is everything. If people like your characters they'll be willing to overlook all of the other flaws in the game. Likewise, without likable characters no one will give a shit about your game's story.

>>539783971
a story with no characters does not exist, you agree with me without realizing it
character design adds intrinsic story implications to the game
your character is designed with specific traits in mind, such as a soldier, a rogue, a wizard, etc
these designs form the basis of the story
soldier = fight something, rogue = sneak around, wizard = cast spells
but why would anybody care about the design and traits of these characters if there's no narrative for them to exist around? having some sort of context for these characters requires a story
think of your favorite character, and then put them in a white padded room, are they still interesting when there aren't any narrative elements to interact with?
story everything

You didn't answer the question
I've heard many times from people who do university projects that they're required to give up rights to the project, but they may get something in return like a cut

because otherwise team members end up getting into fights about who owns the game and the university probably wants to do some shit with the game too

I still remember reading this on the long drive home from the store. I opened the box in the car and I was reading the first pages of the manual and I was so excited. It promised so much freedom and so many possibilities.
My mom took one look at me and told my dad there was no way I'd sit through dinner and they got a pizza along the way. I was eating pizza while installing the game and I got permanent grease stains on the box, disks and manual. I think it was the first week of the winter break too so I had weeks to explore the galaxy.
How do I make a game that has this effect on players? Is it the Is it even possible for an indie dev 33 years later? I don't mean making a game like this but the feeling and the desire to explore a game world given what resources we have as solo devs.
Or is it mostly dependent on the audience being carefree children with a massive capacity to suspend disbelief?
The last time I experienced something like this was when Fallout 3 was released and that moment when you first exit the vault and see the wasteland with Megaton in the distance. I think Bethesda was looking to do the same thing when you first exited the sewers in Oblivion but they didn't set the vantage point right and you just saw water and some hills.

gamedev on my silent fanless macbook air is much better than on my many-fanned windows clunker. it isn't even slower because apple silicon wipes the floor with anything comparable from intel and amd.
I would highly recommend working on a fanless computer. even quiet fans (and I slowed them down to absolute minimum) are LOUD and are bad for creativity.

that doesn't matter at all. I have a fan going 24/7 in my room. my computer is already very quiet. just install good fans into your computer and not those cheap chink fans or switch to water cooling if you want a quiet desktop. mac may be better than windows but it's still shit in my book.

they run at different rates, you can't hear them or rather you shouldn't unless you bought a piece of shit.

>>539795448
Why not just use linux? I really don't get it. If you're willing to put up with the technical complexity of game development, the (very little) technical complexity of linux should be incredibly easy.

People usually think linux is for fat weird guys probably is afraid of that

am i gmi or not yet

>>539795691
whether you can or can't hear the fan depends on the airflow (unless the fan's bearings are busted). there's no magic way for fans to be silent if they create airflow. more airflow = more noise. but 6 fans even at like 400rpm will be audible no matter what.
I'm guessing is you have a high tolerance for fan noise and you'd think my PC is silent.

they were already rich off hollow knight and silksong was supposed to be a DLC. They had people crying over the release date, events like TGA and TGS covered it.

>>539801532
then children and women should have that privilege taken away from them.

if it wasn't then I gotta admit it's a missed opportunity. the game was perfectly suited to be a vampire survivors-like soon after vampire suvivors released

>>539804406
You need a real source of income sadly. Gamedev is like half hobby and half a lottery ticket.

>>539805323
night watchman is the best job for jobbydevs.

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."

Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.

You shouldn't be worrying about that to begin with, worry about making a game you're proud of. I understand wanting people to play the game you've put so much effort into, but don't measure that in terms of financial return. If 10 people play my game I'll be happy. When people play my demo during DD I'm happy. I just want people to experience what I created, that's why I do this and that's why you should do this too.

>>539807626

I've seen this dude making a game for about 3 years now and his stuff is still marked "coming soon to early access". He's mainly complaining on twitter, but where's his game?

>>539814317
here's your mvp free of charge ( i have an mba )

will gamedev get me pussy?

>>539815040
Sure thing. Here.

>>539814794
Making a game is easy. Releasing a game is hard. Releasing a game that people actually want to play is neigh impossible.

>>539815040
Here's your pussy

I am the worst dev here.

>>539815236
You're right it's just annoying how unspecial gamedev is now. Everyone seems to think that they can make it big.

>>539814317
make pong.io, like tetr.io, but pong
moving up-down pulls you along the curvature of the "segment" of your goal
player and goal gets taken out, new round with -1 player
player stays the same, goal gets bigger
(maybe ball speeds up over time too)
get to it

im gonna add some sort of short minigames inbetween the day, for some variety
right now i have hunting and driving down

Made a new game over screen.........

>>539815887
the colours aren't too bad, the ground is missing some detail, but the texel density is so badly done. the bags aren't too bad, but they are noticeably lower than the rifle, but then whatever surface you're on is 3am triple fried. and it takes up like 25% of the screen. shit, man

why do the enemies look like they're jacking off
explain yourself

Every player is subjective - we don’t play the same games, we don’t enjoy the same mechanics.
For me:
- A good game is one I want to play a few hours a day for weeks.
- A great game keeps me 4-6 hours daily.
- A perfect game is one I want to play every waking moment for years.

That filter alone eliminates 90% of titles. So here’s my rule: a good game is one the developers themselves want to play every day during development. You don’t have to play it daily, but you should want to, and when you do want to play your game then you will think about it a lot and find ways to improve player experience.

Then, two more layers:
- The game must be designed so it can actually be advertised.
- It must be a game, not just a mechanic dump.

This is where most indies fail. One or two mechanics thrown on Steam isn’t a game - it’s a prototype with a price tag. Exceptions exist, but in general, that’s why so many releases are fun for ten minutes and forgotten. Stop shipping dumps. Start shipping games that are meaningful and fun.

>>539816852
Low enemy variety means bad as far as the customer is concerned. This isn't even limited to Cliax considering the Nun game up there.

if you didnt copy that from a youtube video stop talking like that fucking christ, only evil people talk like that

got bored and started messing with forcing robots to make games, so far claude's come the closest to making something that could actually be called a game https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/adda7503-e63d-44b6-b265-76c8c3f1491c

Question: do you guys bother with a proper written out design doc, or do you just trust your brains to remember the stuff you want to include in your games? Or do you just freeform dev with no real direction and just go with whatever seems cool in the moment? I'm always curious as to the thought process for amateur devs.

>>539783493
This guy is the epitome of whats wrong with indie devs today
>we're going to trend hop and make low effort slop until we get lucky and make it

>>539819198
before design docs there were notes and I just take those
ideas, plans, workflows
I think this question comes up three times a week here
and I've asked it maybe five times myself through the years
god bless

My game is a medium for my writings (I'm bad at writing)

>>539819198
1) design docs aren't for indies but for companies to communicate a premade idea for dozens to hundreds of people
2) if you need to write thoughts just use a text document and write down todos or ideas as they come
3) development is usually a discovery process for indies, so the written word or design will quickly become outdated, also applies to comments in the code

>>539816814
Sure, I will make clean lines.

>>539817043
demons are weak compared to Angelica's might, so being defeated by them is like Yamcha losing to a saibaman.

>>539819198

>>539818684
The worst thing that the internet has done to the world is that it has deluded braindamaged retards like you into thinking your garbage opinion matters (it doesn't).

>>539819198
Mostly just notes about various aspects, writing out a design doc seems like a massive waste of time and would absolutely sap my desire to actually work on my game

How are you supposed to get playtesters to make your game good when people just wait for you to release it

>>539820240
submit to demon day, but they playtesters are all jaded game developers who hate video games

>>539820240
>What are friends
>What are family

>>539820240
Gamurs are dumb and their feedback is pigshit worthless so playtesting is just another form of marketing in 2025.

>>539820428
>what are orphans

>>539819680
Make a silver surfer death scene too

>>539820240
put it on itch.io
submit to demo days
make a discord
show it off on social media
submit it to any event you can
once its good enough make a steam demo

my game is fucking awesome

>>539820507
I'm pretty sure even orphans can figure out this conundrum considering they have a computer for them to vent about how much their life sucks

>>539819787
Enjoy Cliax all you like, but the lack of images on the Steam description means its full of poor choices. Same goes for not having a YouTube linked to the Steam page.

>>539819198
Use a design doc just to timeshift ideas to the future so you don't forget them

>>539768974
I think there's enjoyment to be found in the run-to-run variety and the meta progression. Dopamine slop is a very good way to describe them. I kinda hate it how well they work for my ADHD brain. That being said I don't really feel like playing them but if I do launch one I can usually play it for quite a while. Another part I don't like is that when you do launch the game and start playing it's so easy to lose a couple hours and after you wake up from the dopamine drip you feel like shit. Sometimes it really hits as the waste of time it truly is. Playing these games and seeing what they are has kind of changed how I look at games in general. I understand myself better as a gamer and I've gained some level of understanding for the target audience of these sorts of games.

It's called being an adult and being realistic. Contrary to popular belief, real life is not like one of your shitty little animes.

>>539824857
I have one. As long as it doesn't require much creative thinking you can easily do gamedev on the side if you schedule your time well.

>>539825794
Making games is even worse because it entails sitting at a computer for hours constantly troubleshooting and refactoring every day for months if not years in order to get things just right. That's not even getting into making assets and music as well if you're a solodev. There's no time to pay attention to your girl and if there's one thing women hate more than anything it's being ignored.

Is anyone else working on a rpg as a neet?

>>539770965
You laugh but any successful game MUST have RNG in it because the only way to success is to have streamers play it and they won't play it if they have to bear responsibility for losing

>>539826345
you should start a game right now

I'm already tired and I just barely started.

I'm not sure if it's possible. There's a lot of indie hits but I don't think they hit the same way as what you describe or what similar experiences I remember. It's really hard to nail that sort of sense of adventure and discovery. It's up there on the list of what kind of games I want to make but I haven't figured it out yet.

>>539792678
this comparable to seeing ror and making ror2 in 3d

it's such an obvious thing to do and it still took forever to happen

After avoiding them for so long I decided to try more LLMs to help with debugging and it's surprising how much it still gets wrong with programming, especially in less common languages like GDScript. It confidently makes a lot of wrong assumptions that are pretty major, like assuming a built-in method returns coordinates in global space instead of local.

Anyone who can fully vibecode a game must be doing something extremely derivative cause it just falls apart at anything beyond the average tutorial.

>>539832201
do transformations and shit on the last number, return it modulo 1 and positive/0
like what kind of question is that?

dealing with what code has access to what rng object is a pain i wouldn't want to deal with, your game won't be big enough to have tas speedruns anyway

>>539833008
>like what kind of question is that?
Yeah, it feels so pointless but I'd rather get it done right. I need it to be deterministic because I make recordings of my inputs sometimes to playback it later. But I don't want the RNG to be crappy and predictable (like my current implementation).
