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.

yay for yesdevs

If you’re not making money, you’re not an artist. You’re just someone one step away from homelessness with some doodles.

>>545378487
ok but my doodles are cool

Watching the vibe coder zoomers fight the nonbis is my new hobby

>>545378209
Not everything will be default but most things are already made and you don't need to reinvent the wheel, it's not like everyone is trying to recreate baldur gate or a rockstar game with tons of reactive npcs, i can just focus on making the combat and animations feel right
>>545378328
> A wall. But the wall needs to know about the rain. It needs to know about the bullets. Does it chip. Does it bleed dust. What does it sound like when a man claws at it in the dark. What are its physics
as i said in my previous reply all of this is just checkboxes and if you want something really specfic you can just create a custom profile and again it will still be just checkboxes

>>545378641
There very well could be. Show some of them and provide a 2 sentence pitch for a game featuring them.

>>545378487
That just a capitalism-brainwashed mindset. There is value in things other than monetary.

>>545378698
not if you need money
it's more of a poverty mindset

>>545378698

That is doable and very on theme with what I’m working on. I am going to try to finish Crab Cooking! With /AGDG/ before the deadline.

oh how blissful is ignorance

Is it punishable by death if most of my gameplay is copied from a game released in the 2000s?

>>545379219
It is very much encouraged.

>>545379219
I was killed for doing that.

My game's gameplay is entirely copied from a 2000s game but nobody boughted it.

>>545379252
I'm sorry for your loss.

holy fuck just found out you can enable 3D Acceleration on Windows 95/98/ME in virtualbox

it's called SoftGPU for those interested

I’m all hopped up on caffeine, mushrooms, tootsie pops, and I need to change my dev diaper again. How are you guys doing on progress?

wageslaving for minimum wage 12 hours a day with an hour long commute each way isn't selling out
but designing your game to appeal to a viable audience is
for many indies there is an irrational apprehension to accounting for the emotions of others in the process of creating your games
my game will adhere exactly to my vision or my game will not exist
even though you could just make it slightly more accessible and post some tiktoks about it and increase your odds of making enough money to fund the development of future games
but i guess since marketing still doesn't guarantee success, people would rather make a game they're 100% passionate about that's almost guaranteed to flop than sacrifice an ounce of agency to make the gamble more favorable

>>545379592
mushrooms? be careful, psychosis will ruin your life

luddites and ludditetes our response?

>>545380675
it's prototyping (greyboxing), not building

try not jeeting up art so ai filters don't flag your slop next time

i am the morning star

>>545382328
Bunniga?! Are you ok?

the future of gamedev is about people becoming able to socialize and collaborate, not about learning more dead knowledge they'll never turn into a anything. even if they finish something, it's underwhelming, cause 1 person just can't make anything worthwhile.
it's about talented people teaming up to create something beautiful. but that requires collaboration skills, and nobody teaches collaboration skills.
asset stores are an abomination of "collaboration". it's like having a team where everybody does what they want and always trying to sell it to other team members.

>>545382635
100%, but the collab will be with ai instead of fleshbags

Fun fact jeet - if anyone can slop up a game in the future then no one will buy yours
btw, enjoy your downvote ratio on social media

Thanks guys, you’re giving me lots of content for Crab Cooking! with /AGDG/!

society feels like a titanic. poor people at the bottom already drowned. the middle class desperately trying to move up, while they also start drowning. and the rich people pretending the water will never reach them.
basically the poor are like an indicator that the ship is sinking, yet instead of saving the ship, they tell the "indicators" to shut the fuck up and get a job to get to the higher floors on the titanic.

>>545382961
You will never be a woman, btw

do devs realize that they constantly keep devaluing their work by making thousands of "learn gamedev in 1 day" or "i speedrun making this" or "everybody can learn this" type of content?
if your customers start believing that it's easy and fast to make a game they'll become more and more spoiled.

It's grifters who never cared about games. Youtube content slop makers. Parasites, basically.

Replace "spotify" with "steme" and "music" with "games" and this video perfectly describes the game industry as well.

No. They've only cut out a small part of my lung. It hurts a bit and I get out of breath quicker now, but that should improve with time.

That is irrelevant to the question.

There's no escape. Everyone is making some type of slop.

>>545386882
or you could actually make them money a bit and get them trust you with a bigger sum..

maybe my job isn't to make a game by myself from scratch, but to be some sort of producer who has to arrange assets and scripts into a specific game that works.

>>545388171
I mean if you are able to scam investors like that
you'd be wasting a talent

>>545388501
Ah yes, I am currently using GIMP 3.0.4 on MacOS. Apply jitter and smoothstroke are options on the paintbrush tool. GIMP crashes a lot on MacOS with large files, so save often.

where to learn graphics programming?

>>545378338 (OP)
some progress. now have a barebones functional gameplay loop. also cleaned up the visuals a bit. i doubt i'll make it for dd, but at least i can actually work on the content part now.

>>545388214
Is this a Space Invaders roguelike? That's a fun sounding idea if so. It looks like you're using Godot's native drag/drop system. That system is kinda ass so I made my own and I'd recommend you do the same.

>>545388664
C and Raylib are great places to start. Plenty of tutorials on Youtube. Works on a potato.

I've still got incurable cancer. They took part of my lung so they could get a tumor out intact and then run tests on it to see exactly what type of cancer it is and whether it'll respond to any treatment.
I'm not going to die in 2 months, but I've got less than a 50% chance of being alive in 5 years time, and less than a 10% chance of being alive in 10 years time.

>>545384640
Music is an integral part of the game experience. I offer musicians negotiated compensation on the backend as well as up front payment on receiving finished stem files in the correct format.

>>545386873
Kek

>>545386972
We shall find out soon enough eh m8? (soon i mean in 4 or 5 months)

speaking of music. who gets the money when a game dev puts a soundtrack up on steam? does the money go to the dev or the person who made the music?

>>545386602
It’s Pac-man but you can jump over the ghosts.

>>545388714
It is a bullet-hell shoot 'em up with dual ship configurations in Unity.

The drag-and-drop system is custom and created with gameObjects.

I feel like I've put an insane amount of work into a genre that doesn't usually get it.

>>545387202
another one on GMI list

>>545389662
That would be negotiated. You would get compensation for writing credits on any soundtrack compilation automatically through BIAA or whoever manages that shit.

>>545389673
Well shit now that you said it, you're kinda right kek.

Google gave me a 250$ ad credit, so I just threw some assets up and pointed it at my steam page. Steam doesn't let it do any of its fancy tracking shit, but it certainly had an impact on wishlists. This is a nice bump going into my demo release.

>>545389879
>Google gave me a 250$ ad credit
why?

>>545389949
Probably bought some cloud compute.

>>545387267
what the fuck is wrong with nortubel?

>>545389879
Combining that with a small campaign of like 5-6 streamers could get the ball rolling. Takes a little bit of money to make a little money.

i love yesdevs but i would never ever play their games

>>545389949
I spent like 300$ on ads before for unrelated stuff

progress simulator

>>545390190
That still counts as a crab post. You may not play it, bur you’re going to be in it.

>>545390234
It won’t be a progress simulator if I include the TinyC compiler and you get points for adding features.

>>545390234
It's not gonna happen.. I spend hours to get something working and my brain is exhausted from trying to understand the math.
I even uploaded the wrong video.

Maybe gamedev is not for me.

do any of you actually use ai for anything

>>545390508
Yeah, I use it to write all the boring code I memorized in high school.

I didn’t always have the internet, but I had a computer with a C compiler, Visual Basic 6, and of couple of books.

>>545389478
Have you tried lucid dreaming to slow down time?

You should be doing this 18 hours a day until you have income. If you’re old like me, hope in the sauna a bit to recharge.

Good Morning /agdg/.
I'm still theming my Emacs and Linux Desktop in preparation for developing my game.

>>545391165
That’s based as fuck. I have to feng shui the fuck out of my desktop on the PC and in real life so I can get in the code zone.

>>545390938
It's only being running since the 4th, and it's fairly inconsistent because I have the bidding set low. But yes, it is pricey per click because frankly my game is not amazing looking. However, I do recommend it for anons who have impressive looking games, but need to get them in front of people. If you have the cash (200-500$), it's by far the easiest form of marketing available.

If you’re not keeping the cat box clean, talking about your tendie to feature ration, you’re NGMI. Every tendie you eat needs to be something done of your checklist. YOU DONT HAVE A FUCKING CHECKLIST?!?!?!

YOU DID NOT JUST POST IN MY FUCKING THREAD WITHOUT A CHECKLIST OF PROGRESS YOU WERE GOING TO SHOW ME TODAY!

if i was capable of making a good art style i could make a game

What do you do during an 18 hour session? I only do a few hours of work per day, but I still feel productive. It depends on the complexity of my work. When my brain starts to feel fatigued, I stop working. It helps me retain high quality output.

>>545391852
Oh, probably about 8-10 hours of real work between the shitposting and house work.

>>545391541
>A CHECKLIST OF PROGRESS
i like that idea
today i'm going to work on a basic game state handler system, and an upgrade system for both the player and enemy units
as the player upgrades their character, the enemies will also increase in strength
similar to oblivion, where enemies become stronger alongside the player, i think this will prevent the game from feeling stale

>>545388765
i want to learn zig too can i just use that instead of some ancient shit language like c or cpp

>>545392112
Yeah sure man, that’s the great thing about raylib being written in C, it works with everything. I’d be able to help you troubleshoot Zig, something good for me to pick up.

I haven’t decided how much I need to raise yet, but basically I’ll be shitposting here and gamedeving until I reach a certain threshold.

I'm glad I'm a third worlder and I need only $500 a month to live like a king.
On a related note, what kind of game to make in 6 months that will earn me $3000 after Steam's cut and VAT and that, so $6000 total.

>>545391541
I wish I had progress to show you sir but I'm in polishing and bug fixing hell right now and waiting for an artist to get back to me with some commissions.

That’s so strange, a bird just hit my window. Hope it didn’t die.

I’ll play your small game, if its just a link to playable web game on itch.io. I like small games.

>>545393451
could I make at least $100 total from my small game?

>>545393365
Then your videos on TikTok should be renders of sexy women fighting a war.

>>545393525
Yes, that would be easy through donation if it is high quality enough, or by having a demo and charging a couple bucks. When have a product, people will come out of the woodwork to help you monetize it.

They are silly little undeveloped beings, who think that their attention is what merits quality, when it is craftsmenship and quality that merits quality.

there are games i've never heard of pulling in thousands of reviews

That guy didn’t get lucky with Cave Story, there were a million people making indie Visual Basic games back then, no one played them, and no one remembers them. He just did it better.

I do believe there are 2-3 progress pics hidden somewhere by a forgotten username from back then, of the same lineage I’ve posted here. Same thing on the Adventure Game Studio forums. I was posting back there as early as 1999.

I’ll have been working on various isometric engine games for 26 years now in my spare time. I thin

>>545394771
I was there. notch told me he liked the skin I made

I’ve got some floppies in the closet, that still might have some QBASIC games from 1995 if they haven’t completely degraded.

success in indie dev used to be as simple as making a game that isn't full of bugs and asking journalists to make articles about it
now you need to be an arcane wizard with an esoteric understanding of the human soul and the technical skills of a senior developer to achieve a fraction of the success people used to find with games such as binding of isaac, super hexagon, super meat boy, braid, etc
competition has become absurdly stiff, that not even most successful developers know why their games did so much better than others
we're reaching a breaking point where only unhinged schizophrenics will be able to tap into the level of consciousness required to generate an idea that would entice the average brainrotted tiktok scroller to even consider spending money on your game
we have five years before things reach this level

You don't understand. It's not just about that it was easier to make money. It's that your effort you put in your game back then had a direct correlation with the result you had.
So if you actually put in the effort, and made a (serious) bug-free, good game, all you had to do was just talk about it anywhere. Anywhere. And you'd get natural eyes on your game and the money you made was a bonus.
It still wasn't easy, it was hard. You still had to make the game. But it was easier then, and more importantly, REASONABLE.
Today? Not so much.

Ok there's Notch and a few other guys. But look at say the 5th most successful indie game of 2010 or 2011 and see what happened to that developer. Do you think they're set for life the way Tiny Glade devs or Digging A Hole devs are?
The reason there were fewer game devs back then wasn't that it didn't occur to people to make games but that gamedev was a lot harder.

The average dev then still made more money than the average dev today. But more importantly, the average dev then was actually noticed and played by real people, whilst today, you aren't. Unless you're lucky with the algorithms or have enough money to bribe youtubers.

I don't really get the point of this. If it's to attack the american christian fundies, the redditor "new atheists", or losers who post on reddit/4chan all the time, I'm all for it. Kindof funny desu. But God resides in all of us, so you are never alone even when you feel alone. Also magic words wont save you. A true heart that loves others will, as that's the only way we know anyone is born of God. As John wrote,

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love.

>YOU'RE GOING TO BURN IN HELL REEEEEEEEEE
If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And we have this commandment from Him: Whoever loves God must love his brother as well.

Western Christians are perhaps, as a group, the most godless people in the entire world. I say Western, bc I don't speak any other language and cannot testify to the veracity of non-western Christians.

Of course >90% of all people of any faith/church/temple/whatever do not actually believe what they claim to believe. They just fake it for social points or bc they were told "This mundane activity is what you do, and don't ever think differently." I have worked in churches, they're filled with frauds and liars who would be the last to ever admit they're frauds or liars but anytime their faith is ever tested in any way they immediately collapsed to become more hardened than even the most hardened atheists.

>We love because He first loved us.
This is just like a Parent-Child relationship. When you have healthy loving parents and are provided for, you learn to become sweet, kind, loving individuals. In the same way we learn love from our parents and then can love ourselves and others, so is our individual relationship with God like this. We love because God first loved us. We are the child, and God is our Parent.

Any "Christian" who hates others, such as heretical bigots like Charlie Kirk, do not know God. They are liars and conmen. Frauds. It's all a performative show for them. Except God resides in us all, so there is a spark there just as there is in everyone. Even in billionaires, those hideously evil tyrants, there is a spark of hope that they could one day abandon all their wealth to learn to know God.
>Camel walking through the eye of a needle
There has never been a billionaire who has done this. So it seems impossible. Of course, there are no serial killers like Brian Thompson, Benjamin Netanyahu, or U.S. Presidents who repent either. Dick Cheney is roasting in the fires of hell today while the world celebrates his death. May God have mercy on that man's soul, as no human could ever have the capacity to forgive such a monstrous beast.

Jesus was a working man who always noticed wealth & poverty lived side by side. Gabe Newell, aka Fatfuck Gabencunt *nods to anon*, would be the person Jesus would denounce more than anyone else in this space. In gamedev there is no greater evil than Fatfuck Gabencunt.

And his evil isn't even because he steals 1/3rd to1/2 of the fruits of your labor. That is evil, but it's not his great evil. Your monetary wealth is also material, and thus worthless compared to heavenly wealth (loving others, joy in life, and the deep satisfaction of releasing your art into the world).

>>545402694
I've received many death threats from other gamedevs, tons of redditors and reddit moderators, and more.

The most insane one was someone who stalked me successfully doxing me across like 8 websites on the internet as some detective sleuth, and ended up calling me out on 8 different websites. The police told me it was an IP from New Zealand, so I was safe, but it all started because I wrote a tutorial on how to edit the Unity asset files for a dead indie MMO.

The loser initially got insanely butthurt because I wrote the tutorial. Then he got raging mad because I said "This allows you to replace the horrible placeholder sound effects with something that doesn't make your ears bleed." as he saw it as some attack on his MMO for some reason. But the stalking didn't happen until he started demanding the mods/admins ban me for the tutorial and it being "illgeal" and "immoral". Well Richard Garriott and Starr Long both came into the thread to praise me for my tutorial, admitted the sound effects were horrible, and thanked me for it.

I know that is the single event that kindof "flipped the switch" for this guy. He just became unhinged seeing the people who thought would destroy me, not only agree with me but praise me and completely & utterly ignore everything he said and ranted about.

After I went on the offense and obtained his IP address, I contacted the New Zealand authorities. Not sure if they ever found him and told him to calm down or not.

The creepiest one though isn't the guy who knew who I was and messaged me on 8 separate websites all at the same time. It was, of course, a reddit moderator. Redditors are the biggest losers, and Moderators are always peak incels, as you all know.

I've had reddit moderators stalk me after I block them, one in particular wanting to talk about my panties bc they thought I was female. He was raging because I said gamedev was easy and there aren't real gamedevs at /r/gamedev. When he had his meltdown, I just laughed at him. He didn't ban me (what they usually did) since he thought I was female.

And oh boy was it weird larping as a female on reddit. Redditors just couldn't handle it. I got like 3 death threats, 5 creepy threats, like 20 PM's that were basically requesting personal arguments, and tons of replies to something that really should've gotten like 5 updoots and buried. Well that mod was triggered like everyone else, but he's a mod so he had to power trip. Instead of a ban though, since he thought I was female, he tried to do that whole man "power" move where he is all sexual. I got the feeling he actually wanted to do some "Oh she actually likes me and will fuck me." thing. Never told him I was male since I blocked him so quickly in the thread for being so stupid and incompetent at gamedev. That's the thing, I barely even responded to the guy, and he went off on me like I had been talking to him for months like some nemesis. Went straight to PMing me about my panties too. Like before I could even respond, my inbox is full up of private messages of redditors and r/gamedev mods trying to argue with me "privately".

I can only assume they all thought if they argued with me and won, they would get rewarded with sex? Idk.

I’m combat retarded, I didn’t know I was allowed to just say Zionists, big deal.

Nice try, New Zealanders!

I'd share it if I had saved the link. Idk why but I was never into "bookmarks" despite being one of the only ppl who probably should've archived everything he ever did since I have so many stories about gamedevs.

My greatest loss was my conversation with Dan Fedor (creator Neo Scavenger) where I got him to finally admit to me that he hates his fans and would rather they fuck off and keep their money than to ever dare defy his desire to force himself down their throats aggressively. Of course this was AFTER his fans made him a millionaire.

It was creepy, but I knew gamedevs were like this for years and so finally getting him to "snap" in peer to peer conversation and finally, after like too many back and forths talking way too long, got him to just admit the truth I knew he was hiding inside him.

I had a good number of other interactions, but I don't remember them off the top of my head. Life gets too busy to keep my head canon all in my head. If I can remember anymore stories or find the links, I'll share them.

I do have one I will never forget. Where Chris Simpson, creator of Project Zomboid, went off on me with this huge wall of text because I asked him gamedev to gamedev about when he will release a feature he promised a decade ago. He went off on me in a schizophrenic rant about how I was some villain who repeatedly stalked him for years over something else.

The sad thing is....it wasn't just Chris. He had this janitorial mod who moderated all Project Zomboids stuff (reddit, steam discussion, official forums) named Enigma Grey, and he was just as schizophrenic and invested as Chris was, maybe even more so, in this weird obsession and delusion with some guy who I figure was probably just some ex-fan who criticized him once over the lack of some feature and then to cope with hundreds of similar complaints he just formed this strawman villain who stalk

You pay for the good stuff, and break the tasks down first, it really can. Have it document, and create a tasks document for changes, then plan out a bunch of steps before you start asking it to make changes. Then do it one step at a time.

There is a reason every major corporation is forcing their engineers to use it. If you learn to use it within its limitations, and guide it like a college student learning, it does amazing things.

Unreal engine is pissing me off. Whats the point of making a game with it if you save the file and then it breaks it when you open it because its a different version.

The AI works fine for every code task, if it’s not working, the problem is sitting in front of the keyboard. For instance, right now the cat is on my lap, I can’t reach the workstation keyboard.

You need to identify where you can break that down into smaller files first, but the $30 Copilot Agent handles 2-5k .c source files very well, once you have them commented and documented.

>>545408170
10k is probably above the token limit (I don't know it off the dome) but you could still do it by feeding it parts at a time. The real fix is not letting things get that bad in the first place though.

>>545407089
People are weird. Especially gamedevs.

I once PM'd Brianna Wu to out-left her, and she was even worse than I thought.
That was before she later joined The Young Turks and then became this unhinged Zionist freak.

And this was all before she came out as trans, even though it was pretty obvious to most people from the start I guess? I don't pay any attention to that stuff. I try to focus on the content of people's character, and wow do most gamedevs have really bad character.

I think it's a mixture of the arrogance that comes with having a slightly higher intellect than the average person (anyone who can even script, is doing better than the room temp IQ people you will so often meet IRL), the elitism that comes with upper class privilege (either wealth or just way too much college education), low self esteem (nerds), terminally online mental illness (too much social media, not enough touching grass), the weird culture (either coming from abusive companies which exploit labor and treat you like easily replaced slaves, or from the absolute freakishly weird mental illness of indie subcultures).

And oh boy, there was some doozies I have when it comes to talking to trans gamedevs. They seem to be the most mentally unstable for some reason. I have nothing against trans people, but their reactions and mental health is absolutely unhinged when interacting with people. My experiences are so tainted, the moment someone says they're trans I immediately gut react "Oh no, are they going to start screaming at me for no reason? I better be careful." Like I said, I don't concern myself with that stuff so I have no idea why, it's just in my experience and my instincts. I've met trans people IRL and they seem normal, so I figure it's the terminally online ones. Like the redditors I know IRL are the biggest most insane people ever. Something about being terminally online breaks people's brains, I think.

I have something like that in the pipeline. Each vehicle was redone with a jiggle bone. I'm planning to animate the recoil on the gun barrels as well.

For fun, anon.
Plus it's because They're bad people. I want justice, and coming after some of these people directly is the only way they'll ever even suffer any repercussions for their immoral behavior and disgusting lies. I want them to face their lies personally, and the only way they will is if someone calls them out. I don't like the idea of people getting away guilt-free with some of the shit they pull. These people are a stain on the industry.

>>545408413

I think I want to stay away from 100% anime shit and move towards cartoon hot girls.

Where is the best city to be a game dev (in the US)? Tech hubs like Seattle or San Francisco? Places with a big population and variety of industries like New York or Chicago? I live in the middle of nowhere and there is no community for game dev at all.

>modder versus rockstar's main netcode guy
Retard

it's so over... i'm gonna be a nodev on demoday, i just don't have the motivation to make my game, i'm sorry...

>>545410029
Sounds like something that would play in the loadout screen of a mech game

>>545410179
Seattle definitely.
Though I think LA probably has a huge gamedev scene too just because it's where every creative with a dream ends up.

>>545410179
Probably LA. That's where all the big media studios.

>>545410315
>modder who has to fix rockstar's main netcode guy trash code he should've known this was an issue
Retard

>>545410104
No, it sounds like he's actually talking about a rockstar employee (IIRC if he lives in san diego that'd check out since their studio is based out of there), but i actually pay attention to what people are saying instead of immediately trying to look for gotchas like a parasocial retard

>>545408754
I also got spammed emails from her when she joined The Young Turk's 'Wolf PAC". Fucking bernie sanders selling off my email that mother fucking fraud.

Anyway, I just hit "reply" to all these spam emails I get when they're full of shit, and you'd be surprised how often they reply with walls of text. Something as small as
>Brianna Wu? LOL you're a fraud. I hope Trump wipes the floor with every candidate you want to win. You're a joke and your game is bad."
Will get them to waste hours of their life replying. Multiple emails too. Meanwhile I spend like 10 seconds writing a sentence or two and just hit send.

I got a Propaganda Blue-Yellow email from Calimacil, a canadian website I buy larp swords from. They were all
>WE SUPPORT THE UKRAINE THAT WE DIDNT KNOW EXISTED UNTIL 2 DAYS AGO! WHITE FOLK ARE BEING INVADED BY THE OTHER REEEEE!!!!!!
I just hit reply and sent a line about how I refuse to do business with nazi supporters. Attached a photo of the azov batallion.
They had the most shitlib reply I've ever seen. So I just hit reply and gave them another sentence making fun of them. They were so triggered.

The best part is that anytime you get these emails, just hit reply and paste something in or just laugh at them or insult them. They will always read it because if they read it the first time, they will read every email. I know they do because they eventually reply a second or third time too. They don't block your emails for some reason, I guess since they're the ones spamming you.

Speaking of the Ukraine war. So many devs cashed in on that tragedy. So cynical. Smart business, but so cynical. So much money was made when this war was started. Propaganda Blue-Yellow was a huge success for many western businesses.

>>545410529
Quit shilling your blog, rajeesh

Imagine actually wanting to meet up with other "gamedevs" IRL...

I always meet my fellow gamedevs on Grindr

>>545410557
I think you're completely wrong about ukraine, but that's neither here nor there. I just can't believe people waste their time trolling D-tier e-celebs. But whatever, sounds fun for you I guess.

>>545410798
If i met any of you in real life I'd beat you to death with a hammer, which would also make the threads noticeably more tolerable

>>545410557
>THE UKRAINE
Okay Yuri, back to /pol/ with you.

>>545410798
Your network is your net worth. Imagine how nice it would be to have a guy you can call for anything, like art, marketing, dev support.

>>545409826
I didn't do anything that should've caused his suicide. He was a huge asshole who had this huge bone to pick with me.

Moderator banned me.
I appealed to the admins bc he was unhinged and banned me bc he just didn't like him.
Admin unbanned me.
Guy went insane over it, banned me again, and then erased his account and later possibly his existence.

The biggest trigger seems to be when people "in power", such as moderators, exert their power in abusive exploitative corrupt ways, and when they're then deprived of that very power, it shocks them to their core.

It's what probably made this guy self delete. It's what made that stalker have a meltdown.

People on power trips can't imagine when power is deprived from them, at moments they want to exert it the most.

I have a way of triggering gamedevs really really hard, because I am highly skilled at gamedev and know a lot more than most users (newbies who barely know anything). I can cite my sources and provide solid arguments. This is what drives people to hate me.

Pair that hatred with their corrupt abuse of power, but then deprive them of that power? It flips a switch in their heads. A kindof rage that isn't at all my fault, as it's entirely unintended.

I merely exist, and eventually every 1 in 100 times something coincidentally happens where justice is served, and that justice is what gets them in the end.

post game btw aha

I don't like the idea of living with other guys. That's why I avoided conscription.

Is that a little better? Tbh I think I prefer when the smoke doesn't hide the explosion effect.

>>545410557
I had a religious tradition for awhile where once a year in some month, I'd log in to some website to private message some moderator reminding them I was still active in the community, posting all the time, and they can never ban me because they are actually powerless and never have any power.

Mind you, I never actually posted in these communities. I'd just lie and say I was active all the time and still posting a lot. Just to remind them they had no power. I didn't actually waste my time.
Moderators cannot STAND being reminded they don't actually have power. Imagine them getting reminded that consistently. Hehe.

I'd make a new account, message the mod or post replying to them, and then get immediately banned.
Eventually, one even responded with some weird threat towards me.

>>545409585

>>545411780
Try increasing the render priority on the card if you want it to show over the clouds, but I still think it needs to fade out much quicker.

>>545411780
Yeah, a little less smoke on the center of explosion, more coming outwards quickly maybe? Here’s my best attempt so far.

is it time for maid cafe likes?

>>545411780
That's much better. It's not "hiding the explosion effect". Them, put together, ARE the explosion effect. They are working in tandem to create one effect.

Anon don't steal my million dollar idea

>>545410921
>You're wrong about the history of Ukraine that existed without refutation for 10-70 years prior to the Russian invasion.
I can't be wrong about historical fact.
Do you not think it's at least 'interesting' that literally a few days before the invasion, the BBC and even MSM were talking about the Nazi infestation in Ukraine, but then instantly flipped literally a few days after posting articles about that stuff to then go "Nazi problem? No that's a lie! Never true!" Let alone ignoring the decades of historical research, books, journalism, and articles on it being the only nazi nation, govt, and military left in the world.

Try googling about it with a timeline filter that only gives results prior to the invasion. See what you find, if they haven't messed with the results anyway.

But that's not here or there. I wasn't even replying about being on one side or the other. I just replied to Calimacil telling them they're supporting literal nazi's and I don't like that. They replied with the most ignorant moronic stuff. You can tell they just gobble up whatever propaganda they were spoonfed.

It's ironic because devs like This War of Mine didn't go all in on the Propaganda Blue-Yellow bullshit because they believed it via being propagandized like Calimacil. They were cynical and just saw a way to maximize profits and exploit morons. A huge chance to take advantage of a war in order to sell more copies of their game. Genius business, but incredibly ugly morals.

>I just can't believe people waste their time trolling D-tier e-celebs
Oh the irony...
You waste your time posting on 4chan.
Just in that one sentence you wrote, you've wasted more time telling me what to do with my personal free time than it took me to write 4 replies to emails I get. I know I type at least 2x if not 4x faster than you, or that you struggle to think what to type. I just vvvvvvvvvvvvt boom hit send it's gone.

Christian guilt-based ethics form the basis of white western european culture and is a large part of the massive gulf in cultural expectations and civilizational outcomes found between white people and brownoids.

The West is a guilt-based society, if something goes wrong any normal white Christian person will look inwards and ask what did I do wrong? Brown cultures are honor-based societies, if something goes wronng they look around to find someone to blame for wronging them in order to engage in a wasteful and tiresome feud.

You can say 'hurr kike on a stick' but the water in which you swim and every principle of personal and societal success that actually fucking works, stems from a Christian worldview and ethical framework.

Christianity didn’t spread to Europe for the European’s benefit, it did it because the Roman’s wanted Northern Europe’s resources before their technology leaked to the tribes.

>Im not saying youre at fault, but youre definetly not innocent
I never said I'm innocent. I just exist. It's not my fault people get triggered when I tell newbies things like
>"That's actually pretty easy when you have the skills to do it. Should take a newbie about a week max, but a professional just a day or half day to implement."
Then at least one, if not 3+ "professional gamedevs" who are 40-50+ year old "AAA professionals" chime in all triggered raging that i said that, saying stuff that takes hours/days actually takes weeks/months or things that take weeks/months takes years/decades.
To which I just reply
>Maybe for you it takes that long, but for someone who knows what they're doing, it takes [shorter time].
Then they just go ballistic, to which I then post a project, source, screenshot, blog, or if I need to my past work
>Here is [ME or Dev X] doing that exact feature the OP requested. It only took them X hours/days, not weeks/months like you said it would.
At that point, they always go silent. They rarely ever reply at that point. The irrefutable evidence they are wrong kindof "snaps" and breaks them. I know this is how it works bc it's so easily repeated and consistent among these losers. Imagine how incompetent you must be to be a "AAA veteran" or a "professional" but post on reddit or stackexchange or the unity forums all day, every day, for years. Yea, people who work on games don't have time for that shit lmao.

But they don't remain totally silent. They either start to stalk me at that point or they (more commonly) PM me directly the most vile aggressive sometimes violent messages. Stuff they know if they posted would get them banned, but they cannot NOT threaten me or come at me harder bc of how angry it made them to be proven stupid.

>>545414219

Ok did they also spread Christianity to Ethiopia and along the Silk Road in the 4th century as part of this geopolitical game? They feared the Ethiopians attacking them with 'leaked technology'?

You're retarded. Christianity was a 4d Roman psyop that somehow got adopted by Rome themselves and then outlasted their empire, what bizarre pagan cope.

Caves of Qud was a massive disappointment.

>You can be a Water Trader!
I was expecting to be a Water Trader. Then I learned that being a "Water Trader" just meant being a Combat Warrior with 10% better deals at merchants.

Massive disappointment to learn this game's "deep complex systems" is just 100000 ways to do combat. When paired with incoherent graphics and horrible UX so as to consume all your real life time just moving in slow motion in order to do more combat, let's just say I was extremely disappointed.

So you want enough visual fidelity that you can't just fall back on simple symbol-based graphics and leave it to the human imagination to do the heavy lifting... but not enough visual fidelity to actually look good.

The scale and scope of a game probably depends more on the ease at which an individual dev can add content. In a 3d game even with simplistic graphics you have a lot more to worry about than in a top-down game. It's not the fidelity of the graphics that's the bottleneck, it's the 3d medium itself.

i look like this

im going to a games expo on friday

>Look up cartoon art
>Clearly american cartoon artists seem to lack even the most basic drawing fundamentals that mediocre japanese artist know

>>545417329
>and just like that, ronny stopped posting after this one question
its always funny when that happens

>>545417937
Ah you're back. I made this for you earlier.

>>545418189
cris are you insulting cartoonists or japanaese artists

rape cris

>>545417937
what are you talking about, there's ton of progress today, everybody is crunching for DD

lovingly embrace and pleasure cris

>>545418302
I mean, cartoon artists don't care about learning basic shit like anatomy.

>>545417327
>Massive disappointment to learn this game's "deep complex systems" is just 100000 ways to do combat
This is a very difficult thing to avoid in my experience.

Games revolve around conflict. And what should the source of adversity be?

Things like dehydration, starvation, hypothermia are EXTREMELY boolean and boring:
You either have know how to get fresh water or you die.

>inb4 cata is fun scavenging for cans of tuna
But is walking a character from house-to-house in an empty world fun?
No. It's fun because there are ZOMBIES you have to avoid. Without combat the food-scarcity is meaningless.

>>545418280
>only one person dislikes my ritualposts
You are schizophrenic and autistic Chris-chan style if you believe that.

1) I like the visuals on older games often more than the visuals on modern games
2) Deus Ex was made by 20 people. A modern version of Deus Ex would take like 300 people and 3 outsourcing studios for the art. Visual fidelity matters a lot when it comes to how much content you are able to produce. (and I don't understand how someone making a game could actually argue otherwise?) John Romero shat out a new Doom level every couple days but the modern equivalent would take 4 months of work and a dozen people.

>>545418109
You live in Norway?

>>545418727
nei....

I find a lot of games get fucky when they start in full screen
Is setting the game to windowed by default the right move?

>>545418879
Busted! I will try to find you at SpillExpo

>>545417329
Yes and No.
Yes in that I'm now closer than ever.
No in that life as a gamedev is a never-ending hopeless despair. Never enough time, even when I have all the time in the world.

On a positive note, I'm about to run out of money to fund my free lifestyle, so this final game is my last gambit. It's either this succeeds and I get a long career in the industry, or this fails to sell or fails to release and it's a permanent graveyard of abandoned projects with not a single one ever seeing the light of day as I choose a new career.

Once I'm out of money, it's finally over and I can no longer pretend like it's a viable career. This next one HAS to be successful financially. Otherwise I'm cooked. It's a bit scary gambling your entire life on a dream, but it's finally here. In the past it was just a hobby I never had any real time for, but I lost my job so now it's everything.

I'm pretty much alone in it though. Which makes it really hard. But I saw a meme the other day that really brightened my mood and gave me some much needed hope.

The polished amazing looking end result is what kindof kills me. What must be done to be financially successful, to be a great game, but what is overwhelming due to all the moving parts that all need fine tuning and polish. The idea I should instead just start focusing on making an ugly but fully complete game first, and just make it look good later, is a huge boon for me.

It's helpful bc I am a perfectionist. That's a huge problem for me. I am almost autistic in how perfect I want everything to be, so I always end up making either super amazing technical achievements you cannot even see (like a fully complete, bug free open world survival game framework similar to that of a MMO) or a super thin vertical slice that is meaningless on its own.

The idea I can actually COMPLETE a game 100% in full, and THEN after it's totally finished go in and make it look beautiful, polish the UI & UX, polish the animation transitions, etc.

>>545418949
I think so, or if not a splash screen where you can change it first.

xhe posted xer forced 'cord meme boshart the reddit, dont you find it hilarious?

yes

>>545419028
are you doing a Vampire Survivors in Unreal?

Let me guess...

>>545379027
Pathetic

dont forget to print cardboards of ecelebs so you can worship ecelebs in public, your reddit xises will find it hilarious trust

>>545419028
Ronny I'm not up to speed on your lore.
Do you have a publisher or are you rawdogging this onto Steam?
What did you do to fund this initially, crypto gains / inheritance?

I tried using s&box and man that's fuckin' rough. Not a single good game on that giant piece of shit and the few that sound interesting require people to play and literally nobody is playing the damn game. At most I've seen like 12 people online and they're all playing time wasters like pizza clicker. How is this game so incredibly dead, I know it's not officially out but all you have to do is sign up.

I maded a deus ex clone. Nobody boughted buyered boughting bouded it. It's over.

>>545419645
Good riddens you drunk retard

>>545419645
>boughted buyered boughting bouded
this is why

>>545419645
Start another company, rename everything, polish it, start leaking out with some marketing hype, and release it again.

>>545419645
No one knows who the fuck you are, all the games are the same. You’re 10 million steps ahead of the rest of us. Go cry elsewhere.

>>545419028
Is the image your own game or just something you found online? Do you have any actual progress to show at all?

>>545419645
I'll buy it right now if it actually looks half decent.

>>545418212
nice fantasy you have there >>545419028 but I always answer any questions people ask of me, no matter what. And I'm always honest.
Do you always make sure to fabricate hero fantasies in your head where all your villains are these incompetent clumsy villains that always hand you an easy win? You're the chosen one right?

>>545419973
You should cut a special 10 minute demo with some cool shit for the /agdg/ demo day, you have almost 5 days to submit.

>>545419973
this looks good, is this your game?

>>545420138
>>545419645
Oh, wrong post. I thought that was his Desu Ex clone.

>retards on /agdg/ don't know about core decay
Grim... But I suppose that's why they shill Peripeteia so much.

>>545417125
>waste my life away and STILL have tons of free time

>>545419973
This looks great is the game's name Core Decay?

>>545420387
I haven’t played any of you children’s slop since Hollow Knight released. I had a job.

>>545420138
>>545420303
>>545420510
I wish niggas. That's Core Decay on Steam. An abandonware.

>>545420538
Hollow Knight was pretty good for a Cave Story clone, they should have wrote it in C and not Unity so I could run it on potato collection though.

>>545419309
No, that would be stupid. You should never follow the current hype of the day. If you want to chase trends like that, you have to begin developing the MOMENT the trend BEGINS. So on the FIRST DAY that Vampire Survivors got more than 1000 reviews, you should have been starting your clone.

It actually takes years, sometimes decades, for the clones to come out. But they always eventually do.

Trends are on rapid speed though. It took half a decade or more for Stardew Valley clones to pop up everywhere. A huge delay for some reason. But Vampire Survivor clones popped up in the hundreds almost immediately. That's why trend chasers HAVE to begin on DAY 1 if they wanna do that.

But I hate that shit. Chasing trends is the weakest dumbest most pandering shit you could do. Soulless.

I make innovative games that you cannot get anywhere else. Stuff never seen before. That's why it's always so hard for me to get them up and running. By the time I finally have something playable and it's over the biggest hurdles, I decide "This is too big in scope. I need to reduce scope and start over." I did this for years. In fact over a decade, actually. Huge mistake. If I had stuck with my grand epic MMO I started with 20 years ago I'd have finished it and several other games, ironically. It's the whole advice of "Reduce Scope, so you can actually finish something!" That killed me. I kept taking this over and over until my games were insanely small in scope and still awesome, but it took abandoning absolutely viable overscoped projects over and over.

To the point where I missed out on tons of markets, and eventually games started coming out that were similar enough to mine to threaten innovation. Threaten it, not rival it. But it's almost inevitable that eventually someone does what I planned on in some of my games. I think a few of them even saw people with their own versions. Not as good as what I had, but still good while I was on my next "reduced scope" project.

If a game doesn’t run on my 1000mhz Pentium III, I usually snub my nose at it.

>>545420390
When you're single and have no kids, you have infinite free time. I worked 2 full time jobs, gamedev'd on the side, learned how to program and do art, watched tons of movies, played tons of games and life sucking MMO's, AND STILL had so much freetime I was bored as shit enough to post online.

When I got married, it didn't really change. I just did all that with my wife, while also fucking every day.

It's when you become responsible for children that suddenly not only do you have real meaning in your life, but you also have negative freetime to the point where even a single job is too much, let alone all that extra stuff. It's a better life, but for gamedev it cripples you even when it's your full time job. Your efficiency with children even when you only do a single thing will be reduced by 50%, at least.

You make games? Since when? Anything concrete to show?
You're my favorite schizo because you're basically cris with an even bigger ego, even less progress, a slightly better command of English, and even more insane delusions of grandeur paired with moments of depressive clarity.

>>545416710
it's fun
