Thanks, looking back at the other video, I actually think mine looks better, I just need the background starfield to fade out when going to galaxy view and it should be a very nice transition.

This is the good basis for my next game that I've had on my mind for a long time now, althugh to be honest I'm not sure if a galaxy map is the best way to do it, but we'll see.

>>162656908
The idea is pretty simple. Split up the world into fluid zones (servers) that overlap so that each entity can be seamlessly transferred between servers (by potentially having it on multiple at once).

>>162656625
>How much of a point-and-click game should be written out ahead of time
all of it, so your "puzzles" actually work

>getting triggered by some art books written over 50 years ago

>>162657560
That makes sense. I just see people on here like IF YOU AREN'T MAKING PLAYABLE PROGRESS YOU AREN'T MAKING PROGRESS! and I wanted to check if I was crazy for thinking this might be a different situation.

>>162656625
Yeah, all of it. But it also depends. A point 'n' click like Machinarium might be written as you go along, because the story is simple and the rooms don't connect, but something more complex, like your pic, where the whole game is basically one puzzle, you have to figure out everything before the implementation.

Can I make a living selling video games?

>>162656625
Make it backwards.

>>162657713
Yes and?

>>162657756
That is still true, even for your game.

Like: before having a finished story, you can have an inventory working, item picking, character movement etc.

Loomis is the ONLY way to make a game. Remember that, nodevs.

>>162657798
Theoretically yes. But your question is pretty broad.
What kind of platform?
Genre?
Do you have a team?
Are you using freelance talent?
Are you a solo dev?
What kinds of skills do you have?
Do you feel lucky, punk?

Furry will be popular because it combines two of the most things humanity loves most: fur (in the neutral sense) and sex.

Most of the weirdness / stigma around furry is the cosplaying and mental illness, not the anthros themselves. Dressing up in a fursuit is nowhere near actually being an anthro, or fucking one.

If/when technology exists to make realistic anthros (in order of difficulty: VR sex sims, realistic sexdolls, actual genetic modifications), you will see a lot of furry porn, and you will see it consumed by the masses.

Look at where furry is now: one of the biggest fetishes on the internet. Clearly, if not "natural", there is an appeal somewhere in human biology. Now think about how much bigger that could be if one of the main stigmas associated with it disappeared. Maybe "mainstream" is going too far, but it will clearly get bigger as the tech gets better.

>>162663715
the stigma surrounding furfaggotry is too large for this to happen and it won't change without really drastic changes in the society that would take entire generations and would be only possible with methods that likely would be forbidden before they could be put to use
it took years for homosexualism to get where it is now and even then "faggot" is still a commonly used derogatory word, "coming out of closet" is still a thing and religions still send you to hell for being a homo
not only that; a major difference between homosexualism and furfaggotry is that homosexualism involves nonsexual feelings towards the other party while furfaggotry is for most nothing but a fetish that involves attraction towards things that don't even exist and if it's took any further than that, it turns into zoophilia. also, those who try to take furfaggotry further than just getting off to the porn are the ones who make the whole thing into an laughable autismfest.

so yeah it's not happening

So, in my attempts to make a game I decided to get some partners to help with the work.

Tell me, game dev general, is it common for everyone looking to make a game to actually be really incompetent or just unwilling to put any work in?

>>162666101
>drawthreads on various boards have done a lot of good to many anons I'm sure
I bet the opposite. There's usually at least one or two people who express that they're intimidated at how quickly others can churn out good-looking pieces, and the extent of help in those threads is usually just "read loomis" (and like we're seeing here, loomis is not very good for beginners)

>>162666826
Anyone you bring on the team, make sure they sign a contract so that if the break the terms they get sued and lose money. That'll definitely get people working and motivated.

>>162666994
I don't really know what 1ma means, but I think you mean its time to fucking bail, finish it alone, and then contract

>want to make an rpg
>suddenly not even the most basic things make sense anymore
are the classical elements obsolete? i feel like fire/water/wind/earth just doesn't make sense anymore. on a temperature spectrum ice would be the opposite of fire instead of water and i feel that lightning is left out of the picture. in the five elements, lightning is a sub-element of fire but in nature lightning can be seen in its pure form. and the whole point of having elements is to have some sort of logical circular rps at the end of it and that boggles my mind.

So I have this game.
This is the basic gist of it, mobileshit puzzle type thing, the goal being to move all your guys to the end in as few turns as possible, avoiding bombs etc.

could it be fun?
has it been done?
how hard would it be to write a program to run the levels and tell me the lowest number of turns each one can be done in?

in what way?
My thought was to fill it with different types of obstacles, so that every time you learn the rules of one you meet a new one, or two of them are combined to a different effect.
Also sideways levels, taking cover from fire from above and from the side, as well as running some levels in reverse.

Been a terrible lazy shit the last few weeks so not much is new since last progress:

-When you get hit you actually explode and become invincible for a while so you can't eat 3 bullets in a row and game over all at once like last build.
-Added bombs, clears screen of bullets, damages everything and makes you invincible for a while.
-Scoring is in, it's so broken that if I didn't have to cut the video to 3mb you'd see me counterstop it in less than 40 seconds.
-Placeholder HUD added with lives/bombs/score/combo_multipler and shit. Cannon cooldown also got a meter indicator next to the ship.

There is if you enjoy seeing him throw his life away for an entire year. I know I have. Hell there were times where all I had to do was acknowledge him once and that guaranteed weeks of nightly meltdowns that I could then savor reading in the archives.

Not for me. Again you need the proper filters for that. Also if there is more progress than shitpost there is no way it will get buried.

Like I've said, it's just him and the occasional shitposters he brings back with him from other boards who thinks they're in good company when he's just samefaggging all along.

Sometimes he brings them from /ic/, something from /o/ and today /biz/ seems to be his thing probably because of the id thing.

I can give it as much text as I like in a single line and it breaks it up. It doesn't like linebreaks at the moment but that won't matter. It's got a technical limit of like 3k characters to stop some infinite loops but that can be increased without issue.

What.

>>162644441
Yes that is true. But I don't see how else to have a character like w that fits in 3 pixels wide.

You really have no choice but to make it look like that.

why is it when you go to the mall, there are guys that want to fight? like, even before I get inside the mall, just in the parking lot, its like that sometimes. It's like I just want to buy some fucking milk and I feel like these faggots want to come at me and fucking fight with me and it's like, excuse me WHO THE FUCK are you?

like, I want to buy some groceries. The store owner wants me to buy groceries. The store workers basically want me to buy some groceries so they still get payed. The mall owner wants that too so that the store keeps paying rent. So who the fuck are these little dumbasses standing in the middle of the walk ways trying to talk to people who walk past and getting agro on me when i want to buy some fucking groceries? And who the fuck are these retards out in the parking lot and the entrance? like hello?

I would be surprised to see that many overall, to be honest. Your new system is definitely better.

I hope you manage to make that convincing. Deception is a gameplay mechanic too few games have.

You're doing god's work.

>You got some of dem sweet motions? Also, what did you actually implement in this version, I'm hungry for details.

It's a massive WIP. Making my own tools is a pain in the ass, but a bit necessary. I apologize for the long and low quality webm, but it starts by showing my old animation tool with the programmer UI. Only problem is you easily forget what each variable listed does after a few months of not using it, so I decided to try making something more user friendly. It's slow going. At the end is the actual game I'm making it for. All the animations were made in that first animator, then imported as code into GM. There's probably easier ways of doing it.

If you can afford it, go see a doc, get some happy pills. The nightmare goggles will have a nicer shade to them. If not, try to become one of the cool-guy nihilists.

Why?

>>162678136
VGA res (13h) was 320x200x8 or 320x240x8 or something

Luckily I regularly update my git repository! Everything is fine - there's really no reason a modern programmer should ever lose progress by hardware failure

I quit showing my game to my friends because they'd just bitch about placeholder art and try as hard as they could to break things.

>Making my own tools is a pain in the ass, but a bit necessary.
How come?
>There's probably easier ways of doing it.
I know you'll think I'm a massive shitstain for saying this, but.. have you taken a look at Godot? The inbuilt animator is really good and the scripting language has a nice syntax imo.

>>162678014
I was at that point some months ago. Since the pills have taken effect, I haven't been that deep anymore. They also helped me get back into gamedev, which probably added something positive to my mood. I know that at this point people hate hearing "It's gonna be better. Just sleep it out and the world will be brighter" and such. If they aren't on meds yet, I'd like them to try first. What if this guy is the next Carmack yeah right..?

Nigga this is exactly what you want playtesters to do.

>>162678551
I could show my friends Owlboy and pretend I made it and they'd still be more impressed by an empty untextured world in unity

>there's really no reason a modern programmer should ever lose progress by hardware failure
Just recently there was a guy with a 2D mech game who thought he lost it all. We are amateurs. It's happening more often than it has any right to.

Because my programming puzzle game allows open solutions, I have to check tens of parameters for each player created level.
I even have to create some kind of compiler to verify solutions and display errors and warnings each time there is a problem.

Of course, a super fast execution mode is needed to test said solutions and check their output result as a win.

Is there a program that automatically backs up your work folder to an online place?

>>162675891
>That player hitbox is seriously small though. Is that an intentional design decision.
Yeah it's supposed to be very small though I agree it's too small at this point, but I'm not really worried about balancing this until I have more enemy types and start making a real stage, then I'll be able to play around with bullet density and speed until I find something that feels right, and use a hitbox adequate to that.

this desu

playtesting is only valuable during the development process when it's focused, unless you're at the final stages of development and need people to report any kind of problems they see. getting feedback on unfinished graphics and sound is redundant because you're going to be changing shit anyways.

the problem with giving normies your game is that even if you say "hey ignore the placeholder graphics and tell me how the game feels" they will ignore you and only focus on the graphics, because they are not playtesters, they are consumers (and also they're cunts because they're your friends)

i only have one friend i let playtest my games, because he's smart and knows to focus on only what i tell him to, not to mention he always gives good feedback. then when the game is almost complete, i start giving it to my dumb friends and see what kind of bugs and non-fun things they can find in THE FINISHED PRODUCT

tl;dr QA needs to be taken more seriously than how
>>162678847
>>162678771
>>162678648
regard playtesting. getting shitty free QA is like getting shitty free anything. even though its free, it's shitty.

>>162679652
you sound about as retarded as the guy who stopped letting his friends play his games

>>162679652
You sound like a bitter fucking failure. Real talk.
