There really is no reason not make your characters sexually attractive if your goal is to succeed. If you refuse to do so your game has to be both REALLY good and REALLY lucky.

I wanted to warn about a scam going on the v3expo discord some moderator is pming users and offering to give away 1 year of claude code and comet browser to make gamedev easier. They then give you invite link to comet browser which gets them 3 dollars and then they tell you to login with your gmail account, they tell you to login on mobile first to sync your mobile data like gmail, contacts, etc to it. Then this google account will be connected across multiple devices and they will steal your your data.
I tried telling the owner of the discord but he blocked my private messages.

Imagine being a tireless political activist for AI but you don't even use it to do anything yourself except make stupid pictures to post in a thread where nobody cares.

Just use GPT 5 + silly tavern and add a bunch of characters to the chat each representing the type of gamedev person you want on your "discord" and there you have it

only 4 days to dd, I think I will make it but it is tight

>>545114585
Sold.

On the main large gamedev discords you can find easily, there are fiending psychos who are double dosed on adderal and schizo attacking randoms constantly, they drown you out by simply hitting enter after every few words they type and nobody does anything about them. You can sit and watch them basically drive away one hopeful naive gamedev after another and starting countless pointless arguments. Here at the very least this kind of behavior can be slowed to one post at a time. Nodevs here are pathetic, but nodevs on discord are fucking demons.

>Twitter is worthless
I think it's just an extremely complicated science now to get proper use out of it as a gamedev. At least it seems that way. It's a horrible voidposting trap that you have to escape from.

You do know that changes to discoverability are not going to be retroactive, right? Fatfuck gabencunt isn't gonna help those Indies already released.

Also the calendar already requires that you have enough wishlists to appear in it already. So it's a pointless duplicate of "popular upcoming".

>Surface Breaker
In the process of creating new icons for each upgrade

lets say i’m making a metroidvania (wow so original !!!!) with basic 2d physics in unity. should i be just coding all that shit on a separate game thread than unity’s main thread, since unity physics and collisions are going to be way over the top for my purposes? or is it just programmatically faster to use the unity engine even if it has 40 billion shits i dont need. i know for hollow knight that they wrote their own shit and just used unity to render, which is kinda what I was thinking too but idk if im a fuckin retard or what

>you know things are never going to get better or improved right everything is bad and getting worse right you know this right
Oh well. I like to make bideo game.

>>545118635
I don't want to come off as a doomer. I'm just trying to make you aware that fatfuck gabencunt doesn't have the interest of devs at hand. You CAN fix this, but you need to cooperate and coordinate to make Valve actually do something to fix it.
One easy way is to actually make browsing Steam not a fucking pain in the ass and searching games easy.

>>545118540
It's 2026 I don't think you should worry about engine bloat too much. Everyone has gigs of memory to spare.

True but uh, pic unrelated right?

>>545115492
Oh hey, that was me. I looked at 1000 indie games with over 1000 reviews after 2020, and under 20 dollar price tag and sorted them by the release date's month.
However according to my stats, November and February were the 2 best months for indie games to be released (together they made up for 25% of all yearly successes) while December was the worst, with only 3%. While in that pic it seems like November is a lot weaker.
But then again that pic mentions "25000 wishlists at launch" while games like Vampire Survivors or Pseudoregalia (which my stats counted) didn't actually have many wishlists at launch and went viral afterwards.

everybody hates me and my game

Don't make that game you tard!!!!!!!!! Here's a list of feasible but good GMI potential ideas. Focus on game's that aren't as reliant on art, no matter what you think your art sucks for the most part despite all the years that will pass before you!!!!! Also fucking avoid multiplayer like the plague!!!! Here's a list of general ideas *slips in Vampire Survivors with a deadline to finish before the original reappears* Also all in on GME and hold ni**er!!!! Sell in January 2021!!!! *portal opens and pulls me back to 2025*

This. Or at the very least become a master of brain chemistry and trying to regulate your dopamine because undertaking these long term development tasks alone is no fucking joke. You can actually go pretty far in life without realizing this issue but indie solo gamedev will be the thing that makes it undeniable.

>>545122409
I really don't know enough yet. First step is to understand it. It's tied super closely to dopamine and serotonin stuff. You have to be able to identify symptoms to deal with it, like how to stay on task when you are time blind

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

TLDR: Get some kind of clock or time keeping device in front of you and check it constantly, because time just doesn't mean anything to an ADHD person when if they just were super strict about their time management they could probably perform like a normal person.

I had ADHD when I joined the army, the drill sergeant just kicked me in the back of the head until it was gone. I’m all better now.

>>545119865
>What has surprised you most about video game development?
So many people have no idea why are they making the game do what it does. So many people don't seem like the type who would play the type of games they make.
There is an entire subculture of pretending to make games, and not doing anything.

>What would you say to your past self?
Pixel art at 80px or bigger is a hogwash. Don't bother looking, don't bother paying. At that size, find an animator who understand motion, and the tidbits of animating, and draws pictures at a normal resolution. Also if someone doesn't seem adequate from their portfolio, that doesn't mean they are some hidden talent, who need a chance.

Modding, not game dev, but same issue with releasing:
>friend of mine spent years on and off working on a large overhaul mod
>released it a few days ago, tried posting about it in steam forums, not a single download/reply
Since I've heard this is an issue for indie game devs who don't market much as well, what can he even do now?
It's not like it's a mod for a small dead game, it still has a big community (AoEII), yet still nothing.

Any ideas?

>>545113984
my game has no characters.

Discoverability isn't my problem. My game has been seen by 30k people. It's just not appealing enough to get them to buy it.
If anyone here is getting less than 30 page views a day on Steam, post your graph!

steam views are worthless, the conversion rate is horrible, you need exposure on external platforms

100,000 views on facebook will convert to 500 sales

>>545126317
Well Steam has a bot estimate and I didn't count those. If Steam is lying about bots, it could also making up page views too, but I think the risk is too great because employees leave the company and could report to anybody (FTC, Timmy, whoever) that there's fraudulent misreporting of stats at Steam.

>>545126720
I'm talking about discoverability on Steam. I can't complain about traffic Steam throws my way, my game just isn't good enough.

>>545126505
Well, he mainly did make this mod to play in a different way with his friends over the years, so it's not like he was aiming for this to be a smash hit or anything. Was mostly expecting some level of feedback, but that's hard to get by as well

Everybody knows twitter is lying about views on its platform and nobody gives a shit. Given the kind of scams Valve gets away with, what makes you think anyone would care about this?

>>545127383
Most of the "direct navigation" visits are from bots too

I got 50,000 direct hits on my own website last night just advertising it here.

I’m working on web counter, I’ll show you guys later, but I’ve been making progress on my game.

>>545127493
I'm sure Timmy would care what with being Steam's main competitor. He'd be telling everybody that Steam is lying about page views.
As for Twitter, "everybody knows" is not the same as evidence. They'd be exposing themselves to massive lawsuits if they were caught, so I don't think they'd risk it.

I make memes, sir. I’m an artist. This next one just happens to be an interactive slot machine.

Uhm, so it seems like you want to use threads to process data, but not interact with separate parts of the game.
you set some things to only run on threads. I think.
for anything visual that exists in the scene tree you can't use threads to process it.
it can be done via servers but servers seem like a headache you want to avoid if you can. you have to custom rotate with matrices for example. no handy functions.

Everyone in this thread should address each other as sir, from now on. You should be assuming the other person is a gentleman.

if i can sculpt a basic ass realistic human character and rig and animate and can use blueprint and have lots of free assets for environment, vfx what easy game i can make that will make me like 1k on itch in a month?

Yeah buddy, exactly. Windows Entertainment Pack vibe.

>>545129937
A walking simulator about some new age existentialism.

>>545130618
Pinball was developed by Maxis, but all the games in the Windows Entertainment Pack were just coded in the programmers spare time, and someone went around the office collecting them and they turned it into a product.

>>545130618
But I’m just going to use the form designer in VB and take screenshots so the text and buttons are rendered accurately.

>>545130918
But honestly, I might code my backend server management stuff in VB6 out of habit. I can do it even quicker now with AI.

Can someone help me describe why I can tell when a game is made on Unity or Unreal within like 10s of seeing the visuals?

It's hard to describe but it's like there's a "Unity" look (usually flat/gradients, bright colors, fucking crystals everywhere) and a UE look.
I started rendering animations using Lumen and it's like... You have so much flexibility, yet every single UE game looks the same.

>>545132018
The rendering engine code. No one ever touches it. They too stupid. Me too stupid.

>>545131557

With Unreal sure, with Unity - hard no, you are gaslighting yourself.

>>545132018
UE has a default post process that is more filmic/soft

>>545131992
that leg movement thingy must have taken a lot of brainpower

>>545132125
Alright, get with me after I get demo out, like 2 more weeks. Music is going to be a big part of the game, I wanna get like 20 tracks in, so I’ll give away 5% net for each track.

>>545131992
will test it on my 10 year old pc.

>>545132395
$30 and the track is yours to use however you like to be honest, I can improve it a little bit too

LITERALLY nobody played my game

does anybody else get mental fatigue after solving problems
i wish i could dev all day long but i need to take breaks and i hate it

>>545132475
Shit, I’ll do $30 and 5%. Keep working.

Animators and illustrators get paid more because the works sucks, but they are working under the direction of an artist, so they don’t get shit on the back end.

>>545132781
its too late, by the time ive made one the craze will be over or my exact game but made 100 times better will be made by someone else

Make lots of games.

This is the game dev thread, not I’m gonna get rich off the hype train thread. I think you guys should split off from /vg/, head on over the /biz/ and leave this thread to the actual devs.

>>545133273
That would be nice.

Game development is skeet shooting, you have to be accurate, but it helps if you are using a shotgun.

>>545133371
this applies more to marketing

If you’re not talking about your personal development framework and your build deployment scripts, you’re not gonna fucking make it, kid.

How are deploying your builds to various targets to send out to your beta testers? Are testing both on Android and iOS mobile browsers with debug symbols enabled? The games that sell are the ones that work. This shit is hard.

i give up,

It’s funny how even through a screen, I know you all are the kids who didn’t pay attention in class or read any of the books.

>>545133746
who who who who not me no way no no no way who who who who hahaha

If you want to make quality games quickly, you need to work directly with and have access to the developer of the engine. Exactly like a race team.

>>545133746
That's correct, yet I somehow managed to get by without failing anyway
Except for math that was the only thing I had to study

It would probably be wiser to switch over to an engine while I'm not too invested into raylib yet for someone like me who is already way too old for gamedev (30+). I need to save every second at this point. On the other hand using a low level library creates a natural scope barrier.

Why is there no /agdg/ engine on github with a bunch of furries trying to ban us?

>>545133897
I’m doing raylib too, in C, what language are you using? I turn 40 next year. I’ve been writing other people’s code for too long.

>>545133845
The economy for that game is more stable than CSGO

>>545128720
they got shown to be bitchmade when threatened by payment processors.

>>545133928
>no, you can’t use that commit!
>he’s the nazi cat poster on /x/!

The CIA and the furries can’t stop me, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll open a GitHub with my engine after we have tested it thoroughly with my first release.

>You're overthinking it. Learn to program like a jeet.
i hate that this is good advice

>>545134343
It is historically, in regards to game dev. Now at least you can have AI document and fix your spaghetti code before posting it on GitHub.

If you are a senior dev, AI is a miracle, if you are a junior dev, it is a competitor.

>>545134504
i'm a nodev can't even program but i already made a mod for a game i like to be the game i wanted it to be

The only way to prove yourself now, is shipping shit. Senior devs will call you out on your slop. You are now beholden to the Illuminati C programmers are of World, and our leader Linus Torvalds. The empire of Gabe Newell has fallen!

>>545134504
For now. I could never get any coding job so for me AI is a net bonus. They can't hire me any less than they have already.

Does your game have steam achievements?
Can you save it? I remember that tongue swinging game and i couldnt save the game after i turn it off.

>>545134652
That’s a start, get it looking good and find a dev. The logistics is the hard part.

>>545134018
I'm using C too. It feels zen not to have to think about the language itself at all when writing it when compared to juggernauts like Java or C# although some features typically associated with that type of OOP would certainly feel convenient for gamedev.

>>545134715
I haven’t looked in awhile, I’m tired shipping other people’s slop and I have residual income.

Structs are enough for me to get started without objects, I haven’t fully decided on how to go about scripting yet. Everything screams just use LUA, but I kind of want to write a custom BASIC interpreter.

>>545133897
>natural scope barrier
managing scope creep is way easier than fumbling around with an obscure framework while trying to make a game which is hard enough as it is.

>>545131992
performance was fine but i couldnt find 3840x2160 in the resolution options.
You might want to add a restart from checkpoint button.
I died to the second enemy, respawned in one of those white tubes, and then clipped right though the door at the end and fell into space and now im stuck out here on an invisible wall.
This game is pretty cool though

Just hired a new UI artist for Jargon. Gonna replace the basic panels and buttons with more stylized UI. We're thinking of doing a paper style that would go with the rest of the game's art. It's not gonna be ready in time for demo day unfortunately, but it should be ready by the end of the month.

>>545135060
Raylib is just a shim over OpenGL and BSD licensed. The AI does quick work of it if you know what you are doing and modifications. I will definitely be compensating the author if I profit off it, as I know many others do. Programmers are cool like that.

I'm trying to learn Unreal but the fact the UI is like a fucking FPS level-builder instead of what you'd expect from professional 3D software is throwing me off way more than expected

That’s literally the point, it’s a shim on OpenGL that gets you going, and it’s ugly. If you want it to look different and good, you modify the base code. It’s like a coloring book for smart people.

Yeah, neither do I. That’s why I give those ones away. How about a turn based modern take on Earthbound, stay with me, but directly addressing that Earthbound was a Japanese persons take of a young man living in with schizophrenia in America that was heavily censored.

I enjoyed it. got lost trying to find a path forward the first time you see the ship. kept falling off the level and finding myself at different checkpoints. really looking forward to seeing this game progress.

specs are old:

>>545113898 (OP)

I'm comparing myself to similar games; I have a lot of room for improvement in terms of the interface.

>>545136762
It means they can’t read C well enough to change the default rendering options to add anti-aliasing and other pretty looking effects.

The government doesn’t want you to know the microphones in your phone high quality and the sound effects in the air are free!

>>545148859
right now that the algorithm actually did show people his game, what'll be the next excuse

>>545150773
>>545150965
no, I mean like beep-boop type of sound effects

>>545149305
Yeah, added stuff to my box bot like a subtle screen shake when it lands, a little squish when opening, and the start of a status effect/power up/helmet state thing.

There are a several different beep-boop sound effect generators on itch in which the parameters can be changed.

Audacity or Reaper should be good enough. Layer more sounds over each other, squash, strech, chorus, reverb and filter out unneeded frequencies.

where do find the motivation to make my game

You have to want to play your game, the only reason you live is that you can play your game. Then when your game is awesome, you tell people they can’t see it.

If anyone gives you lip about your game, just ban them. They’ll go find some other game to complain about.

hell nah nigga

I don’t want bots playing my game, so half the people in the world are going to be able to pass the tutorial.

>>545151754
what kind of BITCH ASS NIGGA would ban 'goon
soulless like betz

>>545152862
he quite literally asked for it

Oh, you couldn’t pass a test to prove you were a thinking rational human being without preprogrammed language barriers? Looks like you cant play my Minecraft clone.

The first level is going to be an AI psychiatrist that you have to talk to and divulge all greatest secrets and fears to, then the rest the game gets generated based on that conversation.

>>545153073
The AI works locally, no data is saved, and you can even play it offline and delete your saved data before reconnecting to the internet so that your game was played in complete privacy.

>>545151104
that's good!

to peer into the nature of the immaterial and return with the bosom of the flesh firmly, and permanently, embedded in your grasp as much as you are embedded in its, is the most natural and inevitable outcome of creating video games, digital experiences intended to resonate with the most profound chords of our being, it should have never been a surprise to yield such a result

it's time to change the gaming landscape forever

People are going to pay me to put them through psychiatric hell, then ask for more.

STOP SHITTING ON PEOPLE WHO HAVE DREAMS YOU SOULLESS GOLEMS

quit yapping fuck nigga show me some bands

>>545147889
every single asset looks great individually, but the lack of cohesion and bad level design stick out so badly that you get that same uncanny valley effect that is given off by ai slop. you can tell the guy who makes this doesn't really care about it because he has put out a billion shovelware versions of it on steam instead of focusing on making a single solid release like bokube

>>545153443

>>545153509
she's right tho

what service do i get to host a game server for real time multiplayer ?

>>545153963
delivery service

>>545153963
You just use a VPS and load up whatever operating system you used to run the server you wrote.

>>545153963
For real-time multiplayer, use a managed game server host such as AWS GameLift, Azure PlayFab Multiplayer Servers, Google Cloud Game Servers (Agones), or Unity Multiplay if you need authoritative server control, matchmaking, and autoscaling; use Photon Realtime/Fusion, Unity Relay, Epic Online Services, or Nakama if you prefer lightweight relay or P2P networking that avoids running your own infrastructure; or self-host on a VPS from providers like Hetzner, OVH, or DigitalOcean for early testing or total control—each option trading ease of setup for authority, scalability, and cost efficiency, with cloud services best for competitive or large-scale deployments and relay systems better for small co-op or indie projects.

>>545154627
Cool. I always wonder how 3d devs make world parts like this. The small I tried was in trenchbroom, which was marginally better then making the assets in blender.

>>545153271
are you planning to program facebook 2?

>>545155812
Yeah totally, mods are amateur game development and can easily be ported to other engines if needed for commercialization.

>>545154841
To be a pedant, the usual way. Block out simple shapes, use a few fancy tools if you need. Pretty much any 'retro' modeling tutorial will get you there.
>>545155513
While I agree with the fact that path tool is awesome and would work, I personally can't make a mathematically perfect corkscrew path (unless we're going into modifier inception, but that's also a pain). Good advice tho.

They made me wear the hat, and go the through hazing ritual and everything. 300 dudes beat the shit out of my until my rank was embedded in my collar bones.

Engine devving a platformer failed spectacularly but I an reusing some of the code to make a grid based dungeon crawler instead, need to remember to keep shit simple and focus in a finished product that works and is fun instead.

WHY IS USING AI ARTS AND AI CODES OKAY BUT NOT AI VOICE???

I joined the Army with a security clearance in 2003 as known hacker before 4chan, there’s a reason people are little wary about playing my games.

people don't seem to complain about AI voices any more, I've seen a few Caseoh videos where he plays horror games with blatant AI assets and people generally ignore them
when AI was new, people would complain, but over time, they've become tolerant
it's like on a psychological level we're no different than the frogs in boiling water

>>545157401
>No, I’m making a game similar to Dwarf Fortress but with way more to it.
good, Dwarf Fortress is too shallow.

Post your AI Game?

>>545158310
I wonder how many of these assets are based off of games like call of duty and I wonder when and or if they're going to get sued for that.

>>545158487
Exactly, the legality of commercializing AI produced games has not been decided through written law or court decision yet. However if you know how to train an AI on your own assets, or legally licensed training material through Adobe whoever, it is perfectly legal to use it.

>>545158286
Skill issue. My team had a standardized rail grid, extensive code commenting throughout the base, and a task list/issue tracker.

>>545158754
I hear lawsuits will shut down AI in two weeks. Be careful.

if you're not using AI, do i even have to say it?

>>545158310
lol @ the fatfuck enemies. lmao.

>>545158883
Okay. That changes nothing. The content generated by AI trained on illegally sourced material may be deemed to be unworthy of copyright and commercialization in the future. This can apply retroactively. They ban shit like that all the time to protect monopolies.

>>545158923
Nobody is saying AI will shut down. I believe the much more likely scenario is these companies will end up having to pay out the ass in fines to come to an agreement with Disney, etc, etc.
