I love the UI going all the way to do that camera zoom out but it might be better to not be so obvious what you're copying. Same goes for gameplay. Maybe I'm too quick to inject my opinions on you since I'm excited to see this.

Phantasy Star Online was originally a Dreamcast MMO that eventually ported everywhere and had early 2000s charm. There is still a community but it is under served by a "true" sequel, since the actual sequels got progressively more out-of-touch and the series is just a trainwreck now.

So I figure I'll make my own sequel and call it Shmatasy Schmar Schmonline and probably not make it online because that could end up being a pain in my arse, I'll see.

Nah nothing for tracking progress yet, when there is something a bit more play-testable I will. Thanks for your enthusiasm.

In terms of what is made vs what needs to be made - its only a few rooms built; six different weapon classes and different model variants; one character class mesh; a Booma-like enemy with three variants that is otherwise does everything a Booma needs to do.

A more professional person would more responsibly build their vertical slice - but its so fun just modeling weapons and then going and messing up that single Booma-like thing each time that I've spent a lot of time on it.

How do I cope with the fact that I'm not the game design genius I thought I was?
I always thought I had amazing ideas that would sell gangbusters and I'm only held back by my lack of programming and art skills. After 8 years I can draw better than Undertale and can code better than Yanderedev but my game isn't even remotely close to being as popular or making as much money as theirs.
What did I even spend all that time for?

>>563396071
If gambling was free and all you had to do was take the time to sit down and pull the level, and each time you do you increase the base % chance of winning. You'd be a fool not to be a gambler

The pros:

Th e cons:

Some things that stuck out to me:
>I kept wasting actions because characters would move when I just tried to select them
>I kept wasting actions because characters attacked empty spaces
>I kept wasting actions because I clicked too fast and the game switched characters on me automatically
>There's no indicator how many actions are left for a character
>Health bars would be nice, too, so I can see how the battle is going at a glance
>I often ended up in the shop with 0 money

>>563395497
>but its so fun just modeling weapons and then going and messing up that single Booma-like thing each time that I've spent a lot of time on it.
That's a good sign.

I hope to see more of this.

my C folder keeps acting up again and unsurprisingly it's windows
i had like 208 out of 275 but then it forces itself to update to version 24h2 on it's own and it's now drain itself to 175

i hate being jobless and having no income so much. i wish i can just get a new storage and stop giving a fuck about my C folder forever. it's been like 12 months since my last job. 1TB SSD costs like $150 in my country and i cant even afford that.

>>563394935

>C folder

also storage is expensive everywhere. I installed a 2T spinning drive to offloat data on because my 500M was almost full

the more people cope about ai the more i feel like it's actually gonna replace people.
if it woudn't replace people nobody would talk about being replaced or try to cope by coming up with "mindsets" to deal with ai existing.

I knew it was going to replace people the moment it became more interesting to talk to than almost anybody I know. as far as I can tell, we've already reached AGI regardless of how it does it behind the scenes.

i can understand setting low achievable goals for progression/motivation but you can't be surprised that a product made up of only low bar skills doesn't have any merit to it..... go surpass a medium bar at least before you start wingeing.

>>563397563
ai as it is right now is the worst it will ever be. it'll only get better. all the giant datacenters aren't even finished yet.

>does the possibility of high unemployment make you feel good somehow?
it's just a fact. doesn't matter how i feel about it. actually services are the only way of wealth transfer to your bank account if you don't own resources or generational wealth. so if ai does offer all the services you can offer better and cheaper, then how will you get any resources?

if they want to go the UBI route then i kinda wish they'd do it right now. cause i'm fucking tired of having to come up with a 160 iq plan about my future + pension.

>>563403365
Data centers are actually pissing everyone off. Even if your job is safe they're driving up energy prices, causing noise pollution, and they're ugly as shit. The majority of the Brits didn't hate textile machinery but the majority of Americans do hate datacenters.

>>563403650
that's true. 1800s luddites may have been an insignificant roadbump for technological progress, but they still caused politicians to be forced to respond and consider how to deal with issues around industry and labor. similarly here i guess ai will never just disappear but regulations and laws could change how they work and make it more fair for people.

>>563403650
is there even any technical reason to build them in America? surely it doesn't matter where they are as long as they have a stable internet connection.
it's just a sign that America is a verified third world country that that's where capitalists are choosing to plop them down.

>>563395192

>>563395406
Yes something to do with the depth and how it sorts transparencies. I have to troubleshoot, but it has to do with I think because I built that part of the level as one big mesh so it can't go off object centre for sorting, because you are "inside" or "past" it's centre.

The problem is not realizing why they got it

>>563405543
money is fictional anyway. it's pieces of paper (or more commonly these days numbers in a database) that we all agree have value. what we use it for is to decide who can get how much goods and services. if companies want to cut employees and use AI, they will get taxed more. if they avoid too much taxes, they either won't be allowed to do business, or consumers won't be able to afford their products. so what's most likely going to happen is companies will be moving toward AI and keep increasing their profit margins while the people's standard of living keeps getting worse. in short, what's been going on for the past 30-40 years.

Added sword attacks and bow shooting. The shooting direction is based on your last movement input. On keyboard, aiming snaps to 8 directions due to input limitations. With a controller joystick, you get full analog movement and can shoot in any direction.

Aim with the fucking mouse bro. Nobody's gonna play a game like this on PC without mouse aim. Melee is sort of okay to have based on the direction but I would add an option to aim melee with mouse as well.

Hey /agdg/, lurker since 2012 here.

Finally got into gamedev in 2020, I'm still shit at code honestly but I finally made a prototype I think I found an audience for and made my first Steam page.

I got 1200 wishlists in the first week, maybe I'm gonna make it after all.

Thanks for all the vibes and good times bros.

>>563412572
at least there's an argument to be made for other places when you're a multi-millionaire
yeah if you want to stay human then nordics are still great but if you're more into eating infants and sacrificing virgins then the states or israel is better

>>563412890
If real that's pretty cool. Seems like a novel enough idea and I guess your wishlists speak for themself. Keep grinding and I assume you're doing the nextfest before launch?

Is it viable to sell “vibe-coded” tools? While developing my game, I created several systems to support my workflow, including a 3D auto-tiling system. I’m considering packaging these tools and publishing them on an asset store.

I also developed a Agdg dedicated screen recorder. It functions like the Windows Snipping Tool, captures video in mp4/WebM format with a 4MB ouput size limit.

Is Google AI pro worth it?

my 10 peak CCU to reviews ratio in the first days theory seems to be true, the steam algorithm will push any game that reaches it to the frontpage
if one of your youtube ecelebs told you this you would slurp it but since it's from a measly data analyst then i am joshua or fygoon or another boogeyman :)

>>563413315
Supporting an asset is extra work. You will get stupid people crying at you because they can't use the damn thing right.

For screen recording there's WebmCam which allows you to set the screen region to record and trim the frames it recorded with a really simple GUI. Hard to do better than that.

That's an interesting observation. Looking at the current list Sol Cesto is doing massively more reviews. Extinction Day only has 60 reviews but seems to have hit about 360 on Friday and 500 on Saturday. I would be interested to see if you have tracked a bunch of data that supports this claim and if you have proof of games failing to enter the front page because they didn't hit it. Assuming less CCU per review is good and more CCU per review is bad?

Lower resolution pixel art doesn't mean that random scribbles can look fine. It's still based on art fundamentals. Go study up on shading and values, or if that's too much for you, at least blindly follow a guide instead of trying to do your own shit.

Its weird. When I saw your original post I was a little angry. Mostly because it looked simple enough that I could do it, but then I realized I dont have a perfect knowledge of how to approach it, then had a little blackpill moment for half an hour.
Seeing this post soothed me a bit because even though you have humble beginnings, you made a conscious effort to fix shit and like crystallize it (eg moving to Japan to avoid shit, youre actually putting in the work)

So basically I thought you were on the same level as but, but successful so I was annoyed. But then it turn it turns out youre beyond me, but successful so now its "oh of course, whatever"
Does that make sense?

Do yourself a favor and get competent in
Blender Audacity GIMP and Inkscape
Even if they're not as good as paid alternatives, you may not be able to pay or pirate indefinitely. And it can be useful to just use any computer or VM and install the tools you need in a few minutes and not worry about running cracked, maybe compromised software on the same machine where your dev accounts are. Imagine losing your Steam or Google account because it got swiped by whatever you used to crack Photoshop.

Low iq reaction. Ngmi attitude. Anon had that idea not you and even if you had had a similar idea he was able to execute on the game before you and seems like his execution is good enough to sell the idea. Early dev eats the crab. Worry less about what others are making and focus on your own work.

Bitwig is the best DAW and losers use cling to Ableton like boomer trannies. Its built in devices and capabilities for sound design are unmatched. If you have Bitwig that's game - you don't need anything else.

>>563427690
bitwig isn't free but it works on linux really well and it's effectively ableton so I highly recommend using it and it's cheap
reaper is effectively free but a pain in the ass to set up.
ocenaudio is a great alternative to audacity. the interface is vastly superior but it doesn't have as many features as audacity but what it does have it does really well. you shouldn't be doing heavy editing in audacity anyways, imo.
