Really? I'm surprised anyone fell for the schwig meme after he crashed and burned the last thing he worked on.

I was making a shantae-level sexygame but then my artist died ._.

1. i can't draw nor i can really be assed to grind loomis and real life drawing 4 hours a day for 4 years while looking at completely horrendous drawings i drew myself, being helpless about them being shit and having to deal with /ic/ in order to get better
2. i'm not interested in making or just pretending to be making an erotic video game to milk a bunch of faggots from their cash
3. i'm not interested in erotic video games, if i want to jerk off then the video game part is just a distraction, i can get the same thing through pics and vids

>>368724235
Ehhh
How does that differ from the tons of other survival permadeath games out there?

That's actually my ultimate goal but I don't start with much.
Right now I want to draw and model and design well. I'll see about programming later.

>>368725187
A game where you play as a man in an empty world and have to invent stuff and explore

After a certain amount of time you will die and the game will reset with you playing a different character except the world wont be empty, the last character you used will be there and will do exactly what you did until he dies

This repeats until you have a world of bilions of people doing different things

I don't believe in taking advantage of fanboys with nu-male websites

>>368725503
That's retarded. What's stopping me from killing a past me before he's lived his life to the time of his death?

>>368719898
fenoxo is rich because he was smart enough to mix the furry fandom and transformation fags into one game.

sadly the game is still a mess and no decent character images yet.

>>368725758

Turn based squad tatics game with rpg elements. You run a terrorist organization consisting of terrorists with varying degrees of training and expertise. Missions are played out in a variety of scenarios with small squads in an isometric view.

Think X-Com only you play as terrorists.

>>368722660
I actually did have an idea but I think it was bad so I dropped it.
I mean you had to play as a Succubus and corrupting "pure" girls (NPC) and turning them into Succubi with the power of corruption/magick, but as a game Shantae-like but with bad ends and porn elements

>>368726045
Of course not. Why would the devs ever want the gravy train to stop?

I want a story-based sports game that spans a long career, or at least isn't boxing.

I'm working on one.

>>368727614
It's not hard, dude.

But then I can art, can sorta code, and can't compose music to save my fucking life.

>>368727614
I think the hardest part is the music tho.

Also almost anyone forgets the writting

>>368727614
Hi there me. Didn't realise I had already posted.

>>368727614
Make music for me.

>>368719898
Actually, I don't make nearly that much.
We clear that much on the Patreon, sure, but;
- The monthly amount is split 3 ways between Triangulate, Frouge, and I. This takes me down to about $3,300, roughly, a month.
- Then, we collectively spend anything we don't use on rent/utilities/food on people making external assets for us that we don't need continually, such as music, voice acting, sound effects, and so on. Music goes at about $100 a minute of music, voice acting is $1-4 a line, and sound effects are $5-15 a sound effect.

I also have two other Patreons, and the same deal goes on there. The actual amount of money that I personally keep after putting money back into the game and paying rent/utilities/food is probably about $300-400 a month.

>>368726550
I want to finish my games because 1) I enjoy making games and I want to make new ones after these ones, 2) having sales of your game going on while also doing a Patreon for your new game = 2x the profits if not more, and 3) completing games = credibility which = more pledges which = more money you can put into your games which = higher quality games, repeat.

>>368728142
Fuck man, when you put it like that it almost sounds reasonable.

You should really shut up, so I can keep on hating you.

>>368728142
Personal request, please use animated character icons. Damage, status effects, etc. I literally fap to it, and not just in h-games.

>>368728142
>>368728782
Oh, and extended idle animations, the kind where the character is just waiting for you to do something. I don't fap to them, but they make me a special kind of happy.

Unless the idle animation is fapping, then I fap to it.

>>368728142
I wish Patreon/Kickstarter users at least become more honest on how stupidly they decide to spend their money and actually say "Hey, FYI, I like buying good beer so im going put like 2% of the budget buying good shit beer" instead of those "hopes,dreams,ambitions" kickstarter/patreons.

The last time I tried making a porn game, I ended up masturbating more than the amount of code I wrote. Also, I can't write erotically. Ended up trying to make a normal game instead.

Fenoxo making that much is big time indefensible, I hope the communists never find out about it because even being a diehard capitalist not even I can defend that.

There are some pretty damn good porn projects though, I spilled some cum to one just last night. What's everyone enjoying right now?

>>368728782
We do have something similar to that in Future Fragments where it will change based on status, actually animating it might be kind of distracting, but we might do it when we're doing a final polish run on the game once it's finished.

>>368728740
People like to jump to conclusions a lot without actually checking in to fantastical claims unfortunately, so I'm glad you're able to see it's not as crazy as some make it out to be.

>>368729035
We actually have art for this already in Future Fragments, and have something similar planned for Reclaim Reality, there's even a secret ending in Future Fragments based around this, funny enough.

>>368729281
I try to do this as much as I can, but honestly, probably any "not going into the game or life expenses money" I spend goes either in savings or for the occasional Steam game or arcade visit. Some of it goes towards buying better equipment for us to work with, or repairing/replacing equipment that's broken. Like, I'm not going to lie, I'm going to buy a Switch sometime down the road, but only if I've saved up the money for it.

>>368730058
Internal Interrogation is set to come out late summer 2017, Future Fragments spring/summer 2018, and Reclaim Reality early 2019 if all goes well. That said, we haven't even shown off/implemented a good 30% of the features we intend for Future Fragments (they'll all be in come the Electric Demo in late April), so I'd ask you to try it out again then when the public demo hits around summertime.
(You'll also want to try it out if you like the other games, for reasons I'm not going to get into yet.)

divide that by the number of patrons and you'll get what the average person donates

>>368731330
Fenoxo got a huge following partly because of furries and partly because he's the only faggot out there who's game got further into development than version 0.0.3

>>368731643
They sure are. Depends on your subject and fetishes. I know Trap Quest is like $10 a month for the latest backer build. There's even more opportunities for cash if you have any kind of art skill. That absolutely garbage GenderBender DNA Twister Extreme game sold like 40k copies at $25 a pop.

>>368731643
He hit the perfect storm and also has a handful of other stuff released. Unlikely that you'll do anywhere near as well. But who knows, might be worth a shot - furries are thirsty as fuck and somehow have money.

>>368732247
?

Why

>>368732171
Lewdest Labyrinth is a lewd dungeon crawler where enemies rape you in combat.

Tales of Androgny has you play as a male trap and you get cornholed by Futas. It has a very weird combat system

>>368719898
honestly, I don't want to make a video game based on it being erotic.

>>368732476
Tales of Androgyny is a mistake. That combat is way more complicated than it needs to be and none of it is satisfying. You might as well mash your face on the keyboard or spam low kick. But I like all the futanari girls with fat asses and huge balls to match their huge dicks. Goblin is best.

>>368732650
I kinda do, because that way it can excuse the shit gameplay

>>368732447
Don't listen to that faggot, it's cute and a good way to show verbal hesitation.

>>368731986
There's some pub arcades all over america, there's one near me that's fairly fleshed out, the pub owner is a huge arcade fan and has a good collection of old/new ones in there. I go there with friends maybe once or twice a month at most for a few hours.

Good writing will convey verbal hesitation, not making your characters stutter like an anime character.

Although the majority of mouth breathers on here think the average anime is well written so I guess it's not surprising.

Thought I was ready to start UV unwrapping/mapping, than realized I hadn't deleted all the hidden parts of objects I pieced together. Like this shoulder is a full sphere so it unwraps a bunch of extra shit.

Now I get to go through and delete shit tons of vertices. THAN I can unwrap and start texturing.

Also thanks anon for the feedback if you are here, the legs were definitely too long.

>>368733836
>triggered

I don't get why the first thing to come to peoples heads is, oh this guy is so fucking mad. I have an opinion of something, I think writing like that is fucking dumb and just because he's making an "anime game" doesn't mean the guy shouldn't at least try to improve his writing. The fact that people just automatically give shitty writing a pass is really telling as to how the average person who enjoys it is.

But nah I'm obviously SEETHING over here smashing everything around me in rage.

>>368734116
That would mean I'd need to know how every variables works and I don't because I can't into math.

I can't wrap my brain around UV unwrapping. Where did you learn how to do it?

>>368734359
To be totally honest the math isn't so important as knowing what your variables stand for and what you're actually trying to do with them. The computer is the one doing the math, not you.

>>368734204

math in school was always my lowest grade, I didn't even passed my 11th grade math (Math-514) in 2009 at the end of my high school. Aafter I went in Cegep, I didn't use once any math. I forgot everything because I'm a retard like that.

>>368734990
don't think about it like math, think about it like you're learning how to use a tool or how to play a fighting game

>>368734990
You literally need next to no math skills for basic games if you're using an engine such as Unity or Unreal. I think you just want an excuse to not learn.

I do make erotic games, but I release them for free

>>368733209
I made Magic Matchup, which is a really short game, but it has none of that in it. Outside of that though, I honestly can't tell you of any games that don't have one of those three categories in them that I know of in /weg/.

>>368735281
the real question is are they good enough that anybody would want to pay for them?

>>368735281
Which games, I wonder if I've played any of them.

>>368727320
If you use similar looking assets(or just changing their rotation,color,etc), work on it for >few hours a day, probably a year.

If you just buy frameworks/code/etc now, probably in a few months

If you buy everything including the assets, probably in a month.

Having game makers like unity/ue4 helps hasten development.

And google with lots of trial and error. Pick a relatively simple object so you can figure out what you're doing wrong.

I'm still learning though, I haven't progressed past unwrapping yet since I realized I had stuff I had to fix in my main model to make the unwrapped image easier to figure out first.

>>368735370
well I make about $0.50 a month in donations from people, so I guess I make more money than if I didn't make them.

>>368735417
Don't worry about it.
I will say they're usually fetish games that I've released on sites like TFGS, and they're pretty popular.

What's wrong with buying assets?

>>368735861
nothing really, just expect people to call you lazy.

>>368735861
They typically don't match each other since you are buying piecemeal from separate artists.

Otherwise I don't have any problems with it. Unless you get fucked like those 2 barkeep games being developed where their devs are using the same asset packs.

>>368735946
I see it as supporting artists

>>368736079
so is buying furry porn, but people have a bone with that too.

>>368734526
I don't even agree with him in that sense. It's not a fucking novel so you can't explain what the character is thinking or feeling and it's a fucking sprite game so you can't even show it, not really. He's just wrong. Lock and stock.

Bimbofication, MtF, FtM, Hypnosis, and Mind Break always occur in my games.

>>368735617
Did you make The Collar and slut academy? they are pretty good

>>368735482
Thanks friend. I'm not a great artist or anything but it's kind of relaxing to make build stuff. But I really need to learn blender better. I was using 3dsmax for a while and I thought it was really intuitive but blender is a total enigma.

>>368735617
It's alright if you won't say any more. I'm just looking for good games and it's hard because so many people post games that only go as far as the prologue.

>>368735861
You could pay an artist for something that's going to fit your game exactly instead of using assets that are in a ton of other games. It's just like trying to sell an RPGMaker game with the default sprites, looks shitty and cheap.

>>368727614
Why don't you just collaborate with an artist? There are plenty of "just artists" who would be glad to have someone else do all the rest of the work. Just find someone whose art style you like and ask if they want to collaborate. If money is an issue, do a Kickstarter and see if it gets funded.

I can draw and program but, I can't really think of a porn game with a very low scope that I could work on while I do other projects. Maybe I'll just rip off corruption of champions but have non shit character art. And make it completely gay

fuck any users who become developers.

After they have one decent/fun idea that gets blown up and talked about, it goes stright to their head and start losing their touch and start thinking just because they are users of a certain board they shouldn't be criticized on that board.

For a great example, see yandereDev or the guy who started working on Monster Girl Island from /vg/

>tfw furdev isn't going to make it because he said no porn

I feel bad for him.

>>368736426
Academy update when?

>>368736496
Yeah, I hate blenders interface with a passion. But it's free and I don't have to worry about dodgy legal shit if I happen to make some money someday.

>>368736656
Yeah, I couldn't get them to work right half the time. I'd seam off a part and it pick some other surface and ignore the one I want. Probably something fucked up from when I had everything mirrored while modeling I imagine.

>>368736524
>no porn

what the hell was he thinking

>>368736826
the guy making monster girl island hasn't been on /vg/ for a very long time

>>368736426
>>368735617
>stops responding
why? not like anyone will dox you, your games are good though m8

>>368737361
Thanks, but I have a lot of personal info tied to myself and whatnot.

Anyways, I think that people who make fetish games just for the purpose of making money end up making worse games. People need to understand that money shouldn't be the primary motivator in life.

>>368737323
And that's what i mean. They kinda just disconnect from where they started from.

Though, at least Monster Girl Island dev didn't have a mental breakdown on his board unlike what YandereDev did..

>>368736923
>>368737230
>no porn
So it's DOA?

>>368737323
I never really got the appeal of monster girl island. It's only a "game" in the loosest possible sense of the world

>>368737519
That was kind of funny. I was even on his side for awhile just because it was all personal attacks and not related to his game, but good lord is he a giant faggot.

>>368736826
Too much mindless negativity and grievance-seeking on anonymous imageboards to be honest. If I was a dev I wouldn't hang out here either, at least not publically.

>>368737767
it's the character models, no one else is really doing that.

i mean, lots of people make cute anime models or monster girls, just none of them put them in games where you can interact.

>>368737767
>*sense of the word

>>368737767
Just like what the other anon said, it's basically for the 3D monster girl novelty.

And also, the designs for some of the girls aren't that bad, Spooders, though, is objectively the best.

>>368737828
This. If I every get beyond hobby level with mine I'm not posting anything here about it. The sheer amount of "tee hee I'm a troll/master baiter" that you have to wade through is insane.

These generic gamedev threads are about the only consistently decent ones on this board honestly.

>>368737510
It's the worst because these days a lot of people are intentionally dragging out development so they don't have to worry about a paycheck. Games that could be finished in 2 or 3 months have been in development for years because it's free money for people to watch them stream overwatch and update that they were too sick to work 8 months out of the year.

>>368719898
Can't art, can't program, and can't make the game I want because of those.

>>368738331
There's no incentive to release a game you've already been paid for.

>>368738434
Exactly, it's the same thing with kickstarter. Totally scummy but you'd have to be an idiot not to take free money for a project you can quit working on whenever you're tired of it instead of releasing a game and being forced to work for free fixing bugs and junk.

>>368738373
Can't art and can't program myself, got three games with tons of music/art/gameplay in them in progress and a fourth one completed.
If you have a really good story, you can write decently, and you're good at making design documents and communicating what game you're going for, and you work well with others, as well as being up for compromises on some stuff as you're still working with other people, you can make games.

>>368738434
The incentive is 1) you enjoy making games and you want to make new ones after the ones you're making now 2) having sales of your game going on while also doing a Patreon for your new game = 2x the profits if not more, and 3) completing games = credibility which = more pledges which = more money you can put into your games which = higher quality games, repeat.

>>368738886
What kind of self-promotion or marketing do you do?

>>368738886
You severely overestimate the willpower of the average kickstarter game maker.
They see money in the bank, they don't care any more.

I suffer from crippling depression.

>>368739110
Why do people like that hack of a "Comedian"?

>>368739359
>>368739110
Who are you guys talking about?

>>368739023
I was in entertainment for a good while before I got into making hentai stuff, so I kind of learned the ropes about self-promotion there, but the tl;dr is just promote everywhere, as long as the place allows NSFW content to some degree, and sometimes there's interesting avenues possible if you really keep your eyes open.

One funny example of this was a large RPG board; the board normally had no sub-boards for hentai or adult content, and generally didn't allow NSFW topics.
They had an odd rule though where you're able to compete in Unreal Tournament 99', you and a few others vs a few others, and if your team won, you got to get one thing on the forum, whether that was banning someone, or getting a special badge, or unbanning someone, or whatever else.
So, I asked if I could get the rights to post topics about my games on the forum.
We won, so I got rights to do that, and the reactions on a board that normally didn't really talk about hentai were pretty priceless, but people quickly started actually responding with curiosity/interest in it, and now it doesn't really make anyone turn heads, but it's that kind of stuff, collectively adding up, that can help with promotion; never ignore a possible avenue.

That said, also always be incredibly honest about your game; have pride in it, but don't bullshit about it. The minute you lie outright about your game people will be able to call you on it, and your credibility is ruined, which will then attach itself to your games. Only advertise your game with honesty about what it has, what you're intending to put in it, and what your goal is with it, even if that may turn off some people.

Also, make a Tumblr, because Tumblr is huge for hentai games, and link up with other h-game devs for mutual promotion of each other's games.
People will get mad at you for promoting everywhere, but if you realize that not everyone is going to like it, you shouldn't really have shame about it.

>>368739027
Sadly, yeah, for some.

>>368739889
Thanks, that's interesting
