my 2D skill is improving.

I wont use AI for my games.

Showcase stream starts in about 25 minutes.

Come see the first 15 out of 30 /agdg/ games on day 1.
Come complain how they suck, or praise them for being works of god.
Heckle me for being shit at (you)r game!

Try to do a copy of this eye.
Try to understand the light and darkness.
Try to see how form is created through values.
You can make it if you put in the work.

>>545444260
copying is not an issue, the issue is understanding how to imitate impasto in krita.

Yo chat, turn this pic into a game mechanic and I will make it.

>>545444145
Not playing my game I don't care

>>545444454

>>545444358
At this stage, imitating impasto is the least of your problems.
If you cannot even reproduce a believable eye, no amount of fake impasto is going to help.
You need a basic understanding of form and values first.

If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

Neat. FYI, though, a new update is going to drop for my game this upcoming DD and it's going to add more cheesy cutscene goodness.

How do I stop people from drawing NTR porn of my game's characters?

>>545446442
why would you stop this, its free marketing, people would dream of such problems

good idea

minecrawler - mining dungeon crawler
wizard must dive in caves/dungeons to mine for an ore with magical properties. in the depths he encounters many creatures which can be re-animated.
progression happens by improving the wizards skills aswell as it's creatures' skills, pokemon style
mining happens while being constantly assaulted, and thus you must use your creatures to defend while mining

>>545450007
Yeah making the materials more toon-like would help it look more cohesive. Also have you even looked up the interior of a real maid cafe? Why are you making the cafe itself look like a run-down Dennys?

In terms of execution the environment also needs a lot of work, in the materials themselves clashing with the anime girls and in general. That stone wall texture just doesn't look right. If you go into a restaurant/cafe irl maybe they'll have a single feature wall with that shit on it, but having it on all the pillars and around windows and doors just wouldn't be worth the effort. And what is that wood paneling texture? And why is the entire floor wet?

You can do better bro.

I'm setting up the game's video intro, I have to get the 2D/3D animations set up over time and then prepare everything to give to someone to formulate everything into a video, and I'm talking with an artist for the 2D aspects. The music/vocals are done. The lyrics are not the best, but I think it's bretty good. The main idea is to get the game's video intro set up before making a new trailer so aspects of the intro can be in the trailer which should boost the steam page a bit. Mainly since the current trailer on there is very outdated at this point. Maybe the new trailer will be done by the next /v/3, but I doubt it.

Everything will be maidslop

Putting some thought into what I could do after I finish the snowfight project (next demoday)

oh no no no maid cafe anon what are you doing? Your game is super buggy and the assets look like you made them. Use ai or buy them cause this is shoddy work.

Why would you consider using that engine anyway? Want to make a 3d game but too contrarian to use unreal, unity or godot?

>>545459853
pretty sure there are existing things you can use to study, like manga or fantasy illustrations.

Even stuff like dragons are based on real life animals.

I'm trying to make a segmented character for ease of animation and dismemberment, and the head, shoulders, arms are all well enough that I'm happy with. But the hip is really giving me shit, does anyone know good or have a link/image of good segmented geometry at hip to upper leg? I know there's going to be a degree of clipping, but I can't get the shape to look right.
Also yes he is gigachad gorilla proportions on purpose

>>545459938
how do you make it if you don't have either passion or discipline, but have brilliant ideas?

>>545460079
how bout action figures?

>>545459853
3d modeling is a process of solving a series of geometric puzzles as you try to shape the mesh into what you want. It's very easy for beginners to allow the existing topology of the mesh to dictate the shape of the object because they will follow the path of least resistance instead of making the mesh serve the shape of the object.

Drawing, at least for non-artlets, doesn't suffer from this problem. It allows you to define shapes and play with ideas before trying to realize them in full 3d.

So draw your own references

>>545460079
You can download some RE2/RE3 models from models-resource. I'm pretty sure they're segmented.

>>545460079
>I'm trying to make a segmented character for ease of animation and dismemberment
Meshes are easier to animate if they're contiguous. If you want to dismember you could just have body meshes with missing limbs and then spawn disconnected limbs in as needed. Having a dismembered limb as part of the same mesh is going to be a pain.

>>545460664
I don't think they're easier to animate but I do think you're right about the dismemberment.
I would do the old trick of zeroing the limb's bone transform and spawning a arm/leg model in place.
Modern games still do that shit because it's really effective.

>>545460147
having brilliant ideas means you have passion
those without passion have no ideas at all
those with strong passion have incredible ideas

>>545460147
idk but if you figure it out along with how to get talent/skill let me know

the ol' Minecraft vs Wurm Online dilemma.

A scammer on the v3expo Discord is sending private messages offering a free year of "Claude Code" and "Comet Browser" for game development. They provide a referral link to the Comet Browser, which earns them $3. The scammer then instructs you to log in with your Google account on your mobile device to "sync" your data. This will give them access to your personal information, such as your Gmail and contacts, across multiple devices. I tried telling the owner of the Discord, but he blocked my private messages.

>>545463076
The image shows a dreamlike, ethereal digital scene characterized by heavy atmospheric fog, pastel lighting, floating platforms, and soft-focus rendering. To replicate this atmosphere in a 3D environment or render:

1. Lighting

Use volumetric lighting with low contrast and wide scattering.

Set a dominant light source (e.g., a bright sky dome or directional sun) with a cool tint (light blue or lavender).

Add ambient fill light to reduce shadows and preserve softness.

2. Fog and Post-Processing

Enable volumetric fog with high density and a color gradient matching the sky.

Use depth-of-field to create visual haze and depth compression.

Apply bloom and light diffusion to soften bright edges.

Use color grading to shift the entire palette toward cool hues with low saturation and medium contrast.

3. Geometry and Composition

Use floating, modular platforms or geometric fragments with simple textures.

Maintain open space with minimal visual clutter.

Introduce repetitive shapes or abstract organic elements (like spheres or oversized mushrooms) to break monotony.

4. Materials and Textures

Favor matte surfaces or soft specular reflections.

Slightly blur or downscale texture details to avoid sharpness.

Use subtle subsurface scattering or translucency for soft realism.

5. Rendering Style

Target a painterly or low-poly aesthetic with smooth shading.

Use screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO) at a low intensity for gentle shadowing.

Optionally apply a temporal blur or diffusion pass to simulate dreamlike distortion.

Would you like the procedure in the context of a specific engine or renderer (e.g., Unreal Engine, Unity HDRP, Blender, Godot)?

I just came home from playing tennis IRL. I would not play a booba tennis game for the booba. Maybe if the gameplay is actually good, but if you can make good gameplay, there's a billion different better games you could be making instead. Have you considered starting with Pong?

>>545465651
Sorry bokudev, your game is just okay

I can't imagine working on a game for a decade. I've been working on my game for a little less than a year and I'm already sick of it and want to ship so I can move on to the next project.

I need to rename my game.

The thing about booba tennis is that it sounds simple but the lemon is not worth the squeeze. Theres cut scenes, jiggle physics, hell if done right right it should have inverse cinematics, a crowd cheering. But the gameplay is 3d pong.

>>545468164

I don't get it, is the point that ackuchualy being a hack of all trades mean you're the real winner?

I know I'll get some flak from nodevs, especially the incel ones, but pro tip, get a gf if you don't already have one and start drinking her menstrual blood, it is filled with serotonin, estrogen, and BDNF, all three big neuro boosters. That's the real reason most successful devs have girlfriends/wives.

>>545469973
>An eceleb playthrough of a game will not translate to sales if viewers

Sure, everybody knows that but that's not point here, the point is:
If a bad game like that could get a big streamer to play it, then it's possibly that most people here can do it too.

>>545470494

Did you guys know the solana hackathon has over a thousand contestants? It remains to be seen if gamedev is an exceptional niche but at some point you say no thanks i rather not.
Not too mention youre competing with moneybags that can just be directors.

>>545469462
it doesn't look good though

>>545475628
Money doesn't give you the skill necessary to be a creative director. A few million dollars is not what's separating you from your game. It's a skill issue. There are tens or even hundreds of thousands of people who have both the capacity and desire to invest millions of dollars into their own video game. Unfortunately for them, real creative skill is not something you can just buy.

I can't do it

>>545476881
same, i give up

>>545476190
Well for starters thats how game studios work. They might even hire a game designer. So yeah if you have enough money its not really a gamble.

>>545468781
I think both of mine are disappointed in me and worried. I have worked in the past but haven't in quite some time and I doubt I can get anything that can pay me enough to live on my own somewhere safe. I'm really doubting my ability to succeed in gamedev though since the last few years have shown just how incompetent I am at it. I'm in a terrible position, I can't even go to college again without it being a major setback of maybe 2 years minimum and a bunch of money. I unironically need gamedev to workout. I don't even need a GMI game, just a game that sell's 20k copies. That huge bump to my networth is enough to let me keep this up a little while longer.

>>545476881
Same, but I cannot give up, unfortunately

>>545477129
If you need to make it you shouldn't aim at steam. You need to niche down. Something thats both easier and more profitable like web or mobile. Tennis is aaa turf desu and apparently nobody is amused by me making it sexy. Theres been a 32% increase in steam games since last year adding 5000 games.

>>545476881
do what?

>>545477021
The more money you spend, the more you're gambling, retard.

What percentage of daily steam releases do you think are like actual, complete, real games without breaking bugs?

People keep buying my game but they don't play it. Like they buy it, full price and all, launch it for 10 minutes and then never touch it again, thankfully they're not refunding it but still. Nobody told me this would happen.

>>545477625
It doesn't matter. How much of this food on your plate is composed of edible non-diarrhea food. It still poisons the well of games on Steam as a whole.

>>545477129
same except different

>>545477815
I was thinking more in the sense of how much of the competition is actual competition. But fair enough.

>>545477742
I bought vampire survivors played it for 10 hours then never again

>>545477867
Doesn't matter if your game is betterly, steamie soys won't look at it all the same. That's why you must have outside marketing, because steam is bad.

>>545477928
Didn't ask. Don't care. Kill yourself.

IIlusive domain looks great but its community hub is dead. I cant do better than that lol

it's just all so much work

I hate you faggots so much, wasting this time polishing the demo so you don't get filtered despite your game being worse in every way.

>>545477867
Steam as platform to advertise is over see >>545477961 the only benefit is serves now is the additional features like downloads, large install base who expect your game to be there as convenience

>>545478164
I've thought of how to respond. I would've just replied with the same thing or worse back at you or "post game" but this back and forth on an "anonymous" forum is silly and obviously you care or else you wouldn't of posted it in the first place which is fine. You'll probably fling back some retard shit back at this again which is fine. Anyways you're doing something good if people still buy it even if they barely play it, the value for them to have it in their game library is something your game met the treshold for so which isn't something you can say of most games on Steam even if you wanted them to enjoy your game for longer.

I'll attach a Bocchi just to anger you some more, here you go.

I think the #1 thing indie devs fail to understand is that gamers want to play as a character that looks cool and not some boring little faggot.

i think i just dont like games anymore
i dont like playing them, i dont like making them either

>>545479083
It's normal to grow out of things.

>>545479242

>>545479083
Then either unlock your inner child or find something better to do. But if you can't find the magic in games, you're unlikely to see it in any other aspect of life either.

Marry and reproduce, incel.

Now all the big stuff left for my game is super hard stuff where I have no idea where to start. I certainly screwed up on picking this game. All the foreknowledge from my previous screw ups and I screw it up all over again. Might abandon it if I can't something done asap by the end of November. That leave's with a few different idea's to work on, one of which is literally the current game but massively simplified but very reliant on art. The other one is a 3D game but it feels like a risky play since I haven't really worked on a 3D game before. The idea is simple but will reality be the same?

>>545478880
>Steam as platform to advertise
There's some game's that do well with their own place to sell without using Steam. Wish I could do that but it only seems to be possible for games that serve a large enough audience, without that it feels like it'll result in a failure.

>>545479083
I want to play some but "if I have time to play game's, then I should go work on my game otherwise get a job!" It hold's me back from being able to easily enjoy myself like in the past. However if I get a job "if I have time to play game's, then I should go work on my game to escape the wagecage!" *sigh*

oh you motherfuckers, listen: steam revenue calculator says trainwiz made 43 fucking grand net from 366 reviews at $19.99. HE is fucking saying that he has fucking netted 300 fucking grand. now use your retarded brain and wonder for yourself for a moment, how in the FUCK, could he possibly net 300 fucking grand off of a review estimation of 43 fucking grand? riddle me that one, retards. we're talking 7 fucking times difference

>>545479584
>i have never gotten anything out of my efforts
huge lie, whats ur measure for it and again excuses

>Have bool for sprinting (It's like that for a reason, sprinting can trigger unique actions)

thanks, I wasn't taking that criticism to heart anyway. That's a graphics-whore point of view and I'm making a game with old-school graphics lol.

>>545481010
>he disagree with me must be troll
you are straight fucking stupid for thinking those are production ready and whiteknighting that retard in the process. that bow legged fuck of a character reminds me of some shithole late 90's baseball game player 'animation.' looks even more wildly out of place the moment he launches out of the fucking gates in the second scene, what a clusterfuck

This is so funny

i can't make a game because i'm afraid of being judged

but how will he make money

>>545489092
That just C++ with more colons.

>>545489167
No you don’t understand, he’s abstracted everything away from C. No one has ever tried that before.

The C language is being used to spy on every single device that the government and consumer electronics corporations allow you to have access. That’s why they don’t you developing with it. It’s a god damned weapon, not a programming language.

When working on a feature like that, I like to create a new template containing only the minimum source files needed to get it running. Prototype it, then bring it back into the project. That way you have a separate directory with each little feature that you can improve and troubleshoot away from your main project, and incorporate for into other projects later if needed.

Top-down tactics game with ship-to-ship combat.
You can't see past 200 meters + the length of your ship and have to depend on sonar and radar to see further.
You direct volleys and torpedos by targeting where you want them to hit on the map.
You control a small fleet. Ships cost points (usually bigger ship = higher point cost)
(Optional) You can order new ships with earned points by controlling islands like checkpoints (think: Men of War)

Can Fygoon confirm if he does psychedelic mushrooms?
If you do, please stop. Your prefrontal cortex is not worth harming for short term benefit. This is very dangerous.

>>545494841
Duke loves money and strippers, he doesn’t care about the fans.

The reason you like Duke Nukem, is because Duke Nukem likes himself.

Are you Fygoon? Don't do drugs. I'm serious.

Hello everyone, I come from /mu/. You may address me by L4t3. I'm a hip hop artist that uses AI for several aspects of my work, from promos to music videos and more. In the past, I've done sound and music for game jams but that was before AI even existed. Since AI has become better and more accessible, I find myself wondering what it could be like working with a game dev willing to utilize AI. Is anyone here interested?

>>545495740

>Luddite xisters
Everyday with this. It's your attempt to speak down to people who are actually making games by implying that they are afraid to use AI or something. Meanwhile you're doing nothing, you just keep digging for proof that AI will make you a gamedev someday and then coming here to share it while simultaneously trying to shitpost and provoke.

i think indie dev is going to end up like the music industry where game quality hardly matters, and raw exposure generated through promotion will lead to success
if you don't believe me, look up lazer dim, his music is unconventional but he's still popular because his agency spams him everywhere
it will boil down to the efficacy of adverising strategies

>>545496176

On and on. Then he cries about eceleb posts and digs up things on the archive that bother him calling it spam.

I think indie devs are going to form a secret society and take over the world, eliminating other secret societies and controlling world leaders from the shadows.

It's really strange like a mixture of loneliness wanting to share his pipedreams about AI gamedev but knowing agdg doesn't respect that so calling everyone luddites before they can respond. He wants so much for agdg to be some kind of support group for him and seethes that it isn't, to the point that he spins up his chatbots to spam the thread or worse.

>>545496830
One million wishlists? How?
Also probably not. It's rare for a developer to release a blatantly unfinished game like Cuffbust. Marijuana harmed the developer's brain and influenced him to make bad decisions. He'll learn from this.

Maybe if you didn't make the exact same post 5 times a day...

If you ever doubt the value of marketing, understand that the Call of Duty series has been effectively releasing the same game on a yearly basis for the last twenty years, and has remained highly profitable.
Twenty years of the same slop. Making record profits.
As long as your game is a minimum viable product, you can make money through advertising. Remember this.

Ah. Yeah. Steamies love that. I've never heard of this game before. I wonder how it was promoted. Probably conventional methods. Create promotional content, upload it everywhere you can, and get influencers to discuss it as well. I hope they do well. One million wishlists in ~2 years is insane.

I would get invited by people to go out after work, then would come back with commemorative screen prints of our night out at the bar the next Monday.

>>545498864

>>545498757
>adding new content is a painful experience
you have to fix that or you will eventually abandon the game

>>545498757
i genuinely spend months refining every single modular system my game will need before i even begin implementing assets or polishing it up
like three months revising a prototype scene just to prevent my codebase from spaghettifying itself in a year when i try to add an enemy that uses blue particle effects when it spawns instead or purple ones
the amount of nightmarish problems i've faced dealing with suboptimal codebases traumatized me to the point of never wanting to work on spaghetti code ever again
my honest advice to you for future games would be to have a strict idea of what the final version of your game will be, and never abandon it
then plan every system, mechanic and interaction your game will need to reach this final state
then use a prototype level to implement a modular foundation for every single system your game will use, accounting for as many edge cases and cross-function interaction you can imagine
once you feel confident about your game systems being compatible with the final version of the game you have in mind, then finish it
it's boring and extremely difficult but is crucial for improving your programming skills and making sure you can actually finish your game within a reasonable time frame
similar to the abraham lincoln quote, if you have 6 hours to cut down a tree, spend the first 4 hours sharpening your axe
in regards to game development, it might seem slow at first to pre-optimize your systems to be compatible with the final build, but spending three months laying a stable foundation can save you from three years of refactoring an incomprehensible codebase
tldr build modular systems before you actually build your game

>>545499193
That's a very good advice and I know exactly what you mean but I'm a literally that clueless guy from a meme where "today I'll add items interaction" and I just do it and later, like couple months later, I go "today I'll make that item interraction in a different context" and then I do flips and sommersaults to fit a square into a triangle.
It's a sensible thing to preplan and think about stuff in advance but I was and still am in a phase where I believe I can figure that out along the way and that burning sensation and feeling of hopeless is necessary for me to grow.
But then again when I do these three steps when adding a single item and it works as it should, then I'm a happy little retard so there's that.

>>545499584

kek, based

as long as you're enjoying the process you'll be fine
if you were making a game for a company with strict deadlines and performance reports then you'd need to optimize your procedures but i don't think that applies to your situation

I don’t know, the bar opens in about an hour at 6:00am. The bartender is a 23 year old Latina with fat ass who already tried to get me take her out after it close one night. I might just drunk breakfast coding from the bar again for a change of scenery.

>>545480293
Can I suggest a little more variety? Maybe killing all enemies should be an objective in one round but in other you should save a set amount of people and killing enemies isn't necessary? Or maybe one mission is about surviving set amount of minutes against a horde of monsters? I always find that games with "one main rule" are pretty boring after a while.
Also please tell me there are various weapons in the game. Swinging with a baseball bat should be like using fists in Doom - last resort.

Apparently, there is a massive problem on Steam right now with games being visible. Most people are saying you either get really lucky, or spend lots of money on marketing (and get lucky) otherwise you're getting no sales.
It's gotten so bad even Valve are trying different things to try and increase the visibility of games.

T. Love tennis chud.

>>545508374
The “get lucky” part is getting lucky in making a good game (despite claims to the contrary, there’s no magic formula to guarantee making a good game). If a game fails to be discovered then it’s a bad game and changing some algorithm isn’t going to change it into a good game. Meanwhile if a game is good it will always be discovered no matter what algorithm is used.

>>545509035

Wrong! I've seen plenty of shit games get insane sales because of huge marketing campaigns, and I've also seen tons of great games get hardly any sales. Hell, /v/ almost always has up a hidden gems thread for these types of games.

Just making a good game isn't enough anymore, and even Valve have acknowledges this and are trying to implement methods of making sure more people are seeing a wider variety of games.

If only I was quicker, I could have joined DD...

>>545509154
>Hell, /v/ almost always has up a hidden gems thread for these types of games.
So the game still gets seen because it's good.

>>545509360

If you count getting less than 1000 sales as being seen then sure.

>>545509035
>there’s no magic formula to guarantee making a good game
There is. Any open world craft survival game with at least 20-ish hours of gameplay content is guaranteed to make tens of millions of dollars. The problem only starts once you add in the constraint that the game idea must be small enough in scope that a low-skill retard can make it in a reasonable timeframe.

>>545509154
What is your game? You do make video games if you're posting in the gamedev thread, right?

i think the best thing about indie dev is that it taught me how much i enjoy grindy JRPGs
i only used to play pvp games before this because the idea of improving my skills to outplay other people felt good
but now? i can also enjoy the immersive experience of grinding my character to level 1,000,000 to defeat the evil bad guy and save the world
it's a trope and an experience i didn't know i enjoyed so much

>>545510247

Still making progress, just not as much because I've been busy this year. And most of it isn't interesting enough to show off. I mean do you really want to see slightly changed animations or rebalanced enemy stats?

Here is an example of something I've just been working on. It's a new crafting method that lets you refine crappy ingredients into better ones so later on in the game you can make stronger/more valuable items. But I didn't think showing off a UI was interesting enough to make a post about.
