How much can you do with the lowest paid plan on claude? Is it enough to make a whole 3D game or do the tokens run out after doing a few 3d models or something?

>>110131463
it's preferable to draft the whole game and make claude give you a "plan as a prompt" using the Max thinking, while telling it to make sure to conserve tokens not doing useless validation. but yes it does run out if you make it do the 3D models, just make the game with placeholders then use a separate session for models
>>
>>110131463
I think that largely depends on what you're trying to have it model. I'm working on a PSX style game and modeling that stuff barely even scratches my 5 hour window.

That's good to know.
I was thinking of just making something small to start. Maybe equivalent to about 2 or 3 worlds of Mario 64 in size for example (e.g. Bob-omb Battlefield, Whomps Fortress, Cool, Cool Mountain). I can do most of the general programming and mechanics and UI but I struggle a fair bit with 3D modelling and terrain and also shaders.

You will be my anchor now, congrats.

So, I had already added most of the dragons (I still need to work on the models, and the balance is all over the place), but I also added ground units; which will serve as mostly mana farmers for the player and will just proceed to fuck shit up from the ground: lower firepower than dragons but last much longer and won't cost as much.
But then I was like 'yo what if I get autistic about it and create a different version of a guard for each element' and now I have 5 different guards that do different things, which is going to be a nightmare to balance, but yay!

Just testing if it's technically possible to fully decompile some early 3D games from 00's using mostly local models, to save on tokens. I don't have high hopes in it, but looking at functions table slowly filling in with translated functions is mesmerizing on it's own.

I feel this approach of "byte-exact match" is so retarded. If you’re exactly reproducing the bytes, you might as well just copy them?!?!? -_-
>>
>>110132084
You are not reproducing bytes, you are recovering C shapes that produce the exact same assembly binary as original game, on the same compiler, with the same build flags. That way you are making sure that it's same C code that devs used, and not a hallucinated vibeslop that will need further fixing. Even if you are planning to rewrite the shit out of it, you still need a "gold standard" base game code that's guaranteed to work exactly as original, to use it as a reference.

I'm not currently paying for any models, just using a free stealth model (which is likely some version of GLM).
I also haven't tried any 3d mesh generation, only using freely available assets for now.
I'm currently just messing around with creating different plugins for basic game functionality. My goal for now is to just implement boilerplate functionality that can be used across different game projects that I come up with.
Will post a webm if anyone wants to see.
The LLM did a good job on the camera plugin, but so far hasn't done the best work on the 3d player movement physics. There are still issues to work out, and I'm not convinced yet that it would be faster to keep trial-and-error prompting the LLM rather than just fixing the code myself.

>It's functionally exactly the same
now you're backpedalling
you said "The same C code"
you will get code that produces the same output, you won't get the same C code, if they compiled with optimizations on it will be significantly different
obviously you dont get names and comments too
>>
>>110132630
Code formatting and naming is irrelevant. Tiny changes in function shape can result in completely different binary. Forcing decompiler to iterate until it matches gives you the closest function shape you can possibly get. Also some games were literally shipped with debug symbols by accident lol, so there's that too.

While I can 3D model and code on my own, I'll admit after seeing a video using Claude (I think) modding GTA San Andreas it got me thinking about how hard it would be to make something similar to a 3D era GTA game but use the saved detail on models and builds on interiors, vehicle physics, and generally making the world feel more lived in with a fairly small city. I'm not sure how far along this tech is yet, but from what I've seen looks promising if only to offset me being a single developer and being able to fill in blanks between key assets. Any idea what the costs associated with Claude for doing that and how many tokens I'd get/use per if going for a vague tricount between mid-to-late PS1lN64 and early-to-late PS2/Gamecube era 3D models depending on the assets? I'm already working at basic skill limit for models right now which I'm happy with after years of modding older games, it looks fine in P:Z and GTA so I figure it could be a gamechanger if only for a personal demo/proof of concept.

Sorry if I repeated myself a bunch, on low sleep from having to deal with PHP related bullshit for remote work.
>>
>>110130722
I should mention that /v/ has some pretty neat Claude mod threads here and there and should be a good starting point if you want some inspiration
>>
>>110132687
Okay, I can't deny that there are some losses. But it still converges on a single result, instead of making wild guesses based on ghidra disassembly alone.
>>
>>110132712
I'd wager you can do something like GTA 3 in two months time, assuming you keep the exact game design, and you don't do anything crazy with missions or story wise.
Most of the time will be spent on iterating on gameplay to get it on par to GTA and/or for you to figure out how to design any new systems you'd want to add in, and also tardwrangling it to get better models and animations: it's not great at either yet, it's 'serviceable' but not great.

You can probably get a basic demo going in 2 days at most tho desu, but the AI will be trash, I'm thinking police behavior will require a fair amount of testing too, etc.

A game the size of san andreas: basically the same, the code and functional side of things; claude is going to completely destroy. Everything else: not so much, it'll be up to you to do a lot of the work.
The 'vibe', the art direction, trying to make vehicles that are legally distinct while having a fair enough amount for variety, and then of course voice acting, missions, etc etc.

Claude is also not great with sounds yet, serviceable, and sometime he'll get something right right from the get go, but sometimes you'll have to tardwrangle it for two hours to get something you'd otherwise think to be rather simple to get.
>>
>>110132712
I think you could get quite a lot of assets out of Claude for fairly few tokens. You'll have to provide some decent directions and textures, though.
It's only like $20 to find out.

>>110132782
>something like GTA 3 in two months

>>110132883
>Only if you're unemployed.
Yeah no shit, what did you think I meant?
You think you're going to make an open world game the likes of one of the biggest franchises in the world while working 50h a week at mcdonalds?

I also meant 2 months of using a 200$ sub, don't even think of tackling something the size of GTA 3 (let alone SA) with a 20$ sub.
>>
>>110132712
Not sure to be honest. I will think it will be hard because no matter how much Claude gets done you still have to make everything else or at lest define the game design, we are talking about, hundreds of pages of mission designs, story progression, characters, ideas for missions, how the world is, how the world is going to look like, what period you want to tackle and so on. I think that you will spend most of your human time spend writing documentations files to help Claude keep track of things and don't get lost in the process. The others anons have the right idea. It will be a lot of work but you can get something out of the door in a couple of days if you don't really care about anything but a simple playable sandbox.

>. Any idea what the costs associated with Claude for doing that
This will be your main bottleneck, even if with the 200$ sub you are going to be hitting that limit a LOT I'd wager. If you don't use the API and only stick with your sub allowance I think it's going to take you like.... 1 year at least. To make a fully playable early GTA clone working on all platforms with all the major quirks and bugs fixed. And I'm thinking you aren't going to make your own game engine for this and instead use something that is already battle proven like Godot or unity or whatever

I would say, since you can 3D model, let Claude take care of the code and do the 3D in the meantime
>>
>>110132922
>You think you're going to make an open world game the likes of one of the biggest franchises in the world while working 50h a week at mcdonalds?
Clearly not. Which is why I specifically pointed that out in your response to some guy not actually having used Claude yet and complaining about the job he has taking up a lot of time.
>>
>>110132928
Conceptually the idea was more or less using it to help me prototype something quicker than otherwise and then slowly replace what I can or optimize any mods it puts out, while making the key models and sounds myself, coding what I can here and there. I figure it's a decent enough use case similar to how I use AI when I'm out of ideas for poses and gen a batch and then use those like I would any reference photos and draw the art myself. Which is to say, I have a varied skillset enough to make a game, but right now I'm worried about how long it would take just to prove to myself the game concept isn't entirely a dumb idea. While $200 a month is high, it's not overly high and I could swing it if it meant being able to get at least a working prototype to test, tweak, and eventually send to some friends for feedback on the direction.

As far as writing, I've written probably an excess of design documents over the years but I've been stuck in a holding pattern of assuming the idea is too complex, paring it down, then doing that and nauseum without testing if it would work, or when I do it works but I get over confident. Either way, I figure this might be a decent time saving tool if only to prove to myself the concept isn't totally trash before fully committing, and $200/m isn't great but it's also not horrendous.

Any ideas for what tokens would be if I downgraded to late N64/PS1 and PSP tier tricounts on assets as they are on average lower than PS2 by about ~1000-2500 and smaller texture sheets.

Also I figured I'd post the video that had me thinking about this since last month between 3D modelling sessions and writing sessions.
>https://youtu.be/isjBe4khZZc
I'm gonna be perfectly honest, I'm a huge car guy and I kinda want an excuse to create entire fairly low to mid poly car families with realistic options and it seems a game like this might work well as an excuse for that if it goes well. I'd be fine just making the prototype basically a sandbox.

>>110133058
There's no actual drama from real people, it's all falseflagging and then autists falling for the troll and getting mad over it.
If the retards in agdg wanted to make actual video games, they'd be working on making video games or at the very least discuss the topic, the only people that do both are fags using AI; that's all there is to it.

Now fuck off back to your thread before you attract them here.

>>110133053
I'm doing very low poly (ps1-early ps2 era) models in my games, my infantry girls for example (including hair, clothes and guns) are <2000 triangles.

You do not count in 'tokens', this is retarded, because you do not want to do this with api tokens; this will costs you thousands of dollars to do anything like this.
Instead, you can just try with a 20$ claude sub, and you see for yourself what you can make: try to stick to sonnet as much as you can; sonnet will eat up most of the gamedev logic work very easily, opus is overkill for 80% of the systems in gta3 (if we stick to using it as example); only use opus for things like physics and then heavy refactors or optimisation work (you'll want to use the big brain AI to decide what goes on each threads etc).

And then you can easily figure out how much you really need, considering the 200$ is not x10 the amount of tokens as the 20, but x20 (that's how the kikes get you, so that you don't get the 100$ sub or you'll feel like you're losing on money).

With a single 200$ claude sub, I can have 3 terminals working on my three different games at all time during the day on opus 5.5 xhigh, and I couldn't even reach my 100% quota.

>>
>>110133053
PSX style assets are very cheap in terms of tokens. Don't know the exact average token amounts, but having Claude create 44 lab props for a level cost me like 5% of my 5 hour window. They would probably fall well below what most people could stomach in terms of fidelity for such a type of game, though.

I'd honesty recommend starting out with just a $20 sub. You'll soon discover, if you actually need more once you started and you can just upgrade. It works perfectly for me, as I only spend like three hours for a few days a week on the project.

Since you have written the design docs, why not feed that into Claude and ask him to come up with a plan to make a very simple playable prototype. Especially since, you want an excuse to play around with cars in a sandbox . But is GTA really the game for that? Why don't you try something adjacent to Driver series or something along those lines, not only your scope is going to decrease but you might get a chance to play around with your idea before really trying to commit if you want to also add and mod GTA elements to your game, especially since you want to pivot you can do that with Claude.

>>110133197
Funny enough, Driver 1 and 2 were actually what spurred the idea originally but it ballooned to a point where I got discouraged before cutting it back down to something I could make. After replaying Vice City and spending time between missions examining models and otherwise just waffling around the world doing analysis I figured maybe I could combine the two in a sense. I am more keen on attempting to use AI to prototype this among a few other highly experiments ideas for similar reasons to what I assume you are pointing out here such as third person on foot movement being somewhat redundant given my interests in the concept, though Mizurna Falls was further inspiration. It's just too hard for me to say right now. Like you say, the thought was to prototype it roughly this way and do some key assets where needed and if it actually feels like a viable direction I'll pursue it further, or pivot.

Anon is right, and it's smarter anyways because the 3rd person part is not what gta is about, 80% of gta is about driving around, you want those to be good and feel good, it's a good first focus to have.
And honestly, claude probably would've proposed you to do this as a first slice anyways.

>>110133252
Well I don't mind discussing it; but what's there to discuss that we haven't discusses yet?

>>
>>110133284
>>110133239
Also, by the way, you might have a better chance telling him to use san andreas as the inspiration, rather than GTA3, merely due to the fact that SA has an autistic fanbase and the game has been completely retro engineered over the years in random russian forums and for SA:MP etc etc, so the clanker will have a much easier time finding info on SA than it could on GTA 3.
>>
>>110133288
I'm actually from webdev general and do networking stuff. What I'm actually experimenting with atm isn't gamedev but networking and versioning. As >>110133284 said I'm pretty much just waiting for the three.js guys to cook as far as the renderer goes. Creating anything we want is already a solved problem with AI.

So what I'm looking at is a version manager + downloading system. Basically, no one wants to redownload a game every time they play it. That'd be retarded. So the idea is a game hosting site where if a user likes the game they're playing they can click download it it downloads to OPFS. Then next time they come back to the URL if anything is updated, it only updates the stuff that's changed instead of redownloading the game, like any other game outside the browser does. I'm researching this library for it atm.

https://kaset.dev/concepts/versioning.html
>>
>>110133434
Don't you think the prices of maintaining this are going to implode as storage prices keep rising?

Also, this isn't going to be affecting most; but I'd never use this system simply due to the fact that I love modding, and this would make modding harder (not only old school modding, but even more so now using claude to do whatever I want, how do I achieve this if it's not on my pc? I guess a symlink bullshit system, but that's just going into frankenstein territory, idk)
>>
>>110133470
What do you mean? Think of it like this

>Store game on github pages, no different than storing game on steam
>User opens it, it downloads in real time, user plays it
>button pops up saying "Like this game? Download it to system" and it saves to OPFS
>the library looks at github so any time there's git diffs, when the user comes back they're only downloaded updated file chunks
>The game itself still lives on the user's system and is moddable

It's like the browser is becoming Steam Client essentially, the games are still saved locally, and the devs can just push updates and it's handled.

I like the idea of being able to allow people to try my demos on the web tho, for example, this is so much easier.
>>
>>110131903
I am. I'm skipping the `byte exact` approach and just having DS4 / Qwen3.8 flash use back-substitution / ghidra / pcsx2 mcps / a shitload of auto generated python scripts to generate C code that is as human readable as possible. From there you can manually craft an engine around the behavior of the original game. It works but yes compared to Claude its much slower.

>>110132452
"pure" decomps work by finding the exact same compiler version that the original devs used and using the asm to generate C that when compiled produces the exact same output. It's possible but its really tedious and hard, made less so with ai automation.

>>110132592
This is pedantic, it doesn't matter if its literally the exact same C code character for character, only if each function behaves identically

The only tip I can give you is https://github.com/Leonxlnx/earshot
Then it's just a matter of tardwrangling it and trying to find the magic combination of words that'll make it do the sound you want, sadly, it's not quite 'smart' enough to understand everything (for example, telling him 'I want it to sound like X' is only going to lead the clanker to try to find a spectrogram of that sound somewhere on the internet; chances are there's none).

There's sadly no real secrets, I haven't tried feeding him actual sounds that I would record myself and tell him 'use that as an inspiration and make it more metallic' or whatever, maybe this is the right way to do it.
Also, humble bundle software section; they often often sound banks of hundreds/thousand different SFX, I'm thinking using those to tell him to use as inspiration would be good (it's just a huge pain in the ass to download them and set it up).

I'm a graphics programmer and the code Claude produces is quite bad unless you actively shape it into doing it properly. E.g you need to know what is efficient and what isn't. If you just let it vibe it will do shit like 90000 draw calls when 9000 would suffice and not optimize or cull anything. It tries to get to a working state as fast as possible and stuff like that falls by the wayside.
>>
>>110133805

Alright boys, gotta take some labs I'll chat later. But a few replies before I go.

>>110133805
Yeah I heard Claude is bad at visuals still unless it's physically ripping stuff off. I was hoping someone would suggest something else. At most I'm thinking a low poly mesh generator at the very least so we have a starting point. Fireship mentioned a generator that went from shit to generating a fully functional Rolex watch. I'd have to look for it but I'm out of time.

>>110133777
>multi-step
Have you played with Spawn yet? It's multi-step and works pretty well, given it's low poly. They did a stress test earlier this month where people were creating shit in real time on the same server.

>>110133830
Well the best thing obviously would be to have computer graphics programming experience so you know how to optimize, but in lieu of that you can always ask Claude to work in *very* small steps so you can review it, and at each point ask if the chosen rendering implementation is as optimized as possible. In my experience every time I do this claude will go "you're right I did the lazy thing because I'm a bitch you actually want to do X" and you effectively have to second guess every single thing it generates, one of the worst parts of working with it

you want to ask for things like "are we using frustum / occlusion culling?" "is this cache efficent" is "is there a way to make better use of simd here" "could we use a compute shader to optimize this" etc
>>
>>110133914

>>110133914
What's your take on KTX2?
>>
>>110133926
what does that even mean, those are relevant questions to ask when you're trying to optimize shaders. Using Tracy (free profiler) is also a really good idea, because then your agent can just read the profiling information directly instead of having to guess
>>
>>110133937
>those are relevant questions to ask when you're trying to optimize shaders
no they aren't, you have no control over SIMD in shaders
>>
>>110133929
It's good, texture compression in general is worth it for bandwidth and vram savings, use it.
>>
>>110133914
thanks anon, noted
>>
>>110133942
yes you do, look into subgroup ballots they added in vulkan / glsl

and even if you couldn't control it directly being aware that GPUs leverage SIMD changes how you structure your actual data layout / gl_WorkGroup size to be most efficient
>>
>>110133946
No downsides then? The Youtuber I learned three.js from made a ktx2 conversion tool for the web and it seems too good to be true.

>>110133968
It's texture compression, so the downside is that it's lossy technically but in practice nobody is ever going to notice it.

Advice on decompiling flash games and recompiling? There is one I want to play but it doesn't play beyond a certain point. I know what needs to be changed but I'd have to access the code and edit it so it runs as desired.
>>
>>110134133
I literally told it to imagine a book opening and pages flipping like that. Though it was a bit tricky, it's a rather complex animation and complex task, it got it wrong a couple times (not horribly wrong, but wrong still) where it for example didn't add extra 'cosmetic' pages (which you need on each sides, obviously) and this lead to weird interactions with the cover, and at first the cover wasn't a single piece either.

Basically, ask it to first put into words (that way it'll use a vocabulary it understands itself) how he would depict an animation of a book opening and pages flipping, and what you'd want out of it (in this case, I wanted a grimoire style-UI where the left page was a specific something and the right page another something, but at first I had a manual page flipping system (which was horrible UX)).
You'll just have to iterate until you get something you like, I'm not done either, it's not perfect yet.

I prayed it would get it right and I called it a retarded clanker a few times and iterated.
Though the broom, the gun and the enemy models here are just stupid placeholders from the unity story, and the player character is literally unity chan as well.

The dragons, buildings, world, clouds, etc that's all 100% clanker made, no blender or anything from me (well, yet, I'm in the process of fixing some models in blender right now).
Opus (astra is still shit at most work) is pretty good at most 3D that's not organic honestly, it'll do a pretty okay job making a model for a weapon or buildings etc (here they're basic tho, I didn't tell it to spend any time on it because I'm just testing things, so it's not quite a good idea of what opus can do). It only fails miserably when trying to do anything that's living and should move in more 'natural' ways.

It does get some things right every now and then, pic rel for example; the 'earth' (force) drake; big boy that's going to bounce around and is mainly there for material destruction.

Anime.
Literally 'what if tanya the evil in a video game' but I also wanted to go full on gurren lagann bullshit, I want the world to break, I wanna dig holes through the clouds, I want to make the moon explode.

This is the end goal, but I do have plans for gameplay too, but those come later, now i'm still just building all the infrastructure etc (all of it is clanker made, there wasn't any updated and good enough library for all that I wanted to do with the clouds or the geo destruction, so opus has to do it all from the ground up).

Oh is that so? Source? I watched a video of a guy reverse engineering how Guilty Gear Strive creates such good Cel Shading a while back and it was interesting.

Yes, but you still need decent models for that, that really work with the style. I like to avoid all but the most basic 3d models for now. With 2d enemies I can just slop them out with some local image model and animate them a little.
>>

>>
>>110134559
Novel AI is probably the best, the rest doesn't come close.
>>
>>110134559
When it comes to anime porn, nothing beats local models. It's either illustrious or anima variants these days. And the amount of various loras and tools people made for those is crazy. Any smut in any style mix you want. Can get as consistent as you need if you train a lora yourself.
>>
>>110134559
>but what image generation model do you use or would use?
Definitively NAI for online models or if you want local you try Anima both can gen nice images but if you want to make an anime game (SFW parts) at least you should use Higgsfield which seem to make really amazing anime so far.

I think I saw a lot of anons over at /v/ talking about how Claude doesn't care too much about the contents as long as you trick it a bit. Heard some anons modding Artificial Academy 2 and creating mods for it but not really sure if everyone is going to get by the initial filter

It depends on the game you want to make, I think that if you are going for weg games, you are in so much luck to be honest. but if you are making an actual H-game you aren't that lucky. As the others anons have said, Illustrious and Anima can do the heavy lifting when it comes to Art, you can keep characters pretty consistent right now with a mix that you enjoy. But sadly local models breakdown more often due to increasing complexity of the poses but hey, you can play a lot of local models and if you haven't I would suggest to check out the generation thread here.
What game do you have in mind, anon?

A good renderer and good textures can make meh models look good. I'd imagine we could do image gen for the textures anyways. When you look at the renderer I keep hyping up, rasterized side doesn't even look all that impressive. The detail in the armor looks fine but without the textures and renderer it looks ps2 tier, like something you'd see in Final Fantasy 12.

I think low poly models could be hardcarried desu

Local anime models are notoriously tiny, so you'd be more limited by the speed of generation. Loras are small chunks of neural network slapped on top of the model. They can do anything you trained it for, from styles and characters to concepts and skills like extracting a depth map or making ultrawide shots. Also tools like controlnet allow you to transfer poses from a skeleton to your gen. Basically the main selling point of it is that's it's very flexible because of community around it.

Just curious as I may want to add more AI usage for gamedev, currently I just use free AI and ask it questions and then usually use the knowledge to build out the code myself. Nothing too complex, the last time I tried complex it only partly worked with some of the code just not working as intended. Spent a few days trying to get it fixed yet the AI kept failing, had to figure it out without it.

Anyways what AI's do you guys use and in what capacity? What kinda game? I assume the kind of game heavily affects which AI is best for it.

No, I used to believe that, but currently (it changes every now and then), opus is the best at literally everything save for image generation (then it's gpt).
Mind you, this means that gpt is 'ok' at making textures, but opus is just as good as well so, unless you need design (which does help), then you can just get a cheap 8-20 gpt sub and then go all in on claude and you're better off than any other options.
Fable 5.5 is coming soon too, maybe astra 6.1/6.2 will be better, but currently astra is just much more expensive while being 50% more retarded.

>>110135914
It used to be like that but with Opus 5.5. Things really have stepped up a notch here. You can do pretty much everything you want now, all you need is enough tokens

Only for comfy. But then you can point local agent to fix your shit because it even has an mcp now. Or you can use forge neo for a more conventional UI and simple install.
As for loras, chances are you'll already find the artist or style that you need. Either on civit or other websites. But it's pretty easy to train your own. Collecting the dataset for training is the only hard part.

200$ claude is going to be too much for most people ITT unless they're doing it full time and work on multiple projects at once, I can't fill my weekly quota of it personally even though I'm spamming opus xhigh for 3 projects all day everyday.
Codex is absolute trash, don't spend more then 20$ and only do so to get access to the gpt images. The constant reseting may seem appealing; but sol is... not better than sonnet and more expensive to run still, but you get resets so it's a bit of a 5050.
Google's argon seems to be just as expensive as astra is, and the performances don't seem to be much better than astra either, but I only tried it on a 20$ plan.

Most people can probably make do with one claude 20 for the big smart jobs, and one other (another claude, or a gpt/antigravity) that would be used to do most of the brunt of the work.

I'm hoping the next generation of chink models will try to close the gap with opus, I'd fucking love for a cheap glm 5.4 or deepseek 4.2 that'd be in the middle between opus and their current performances, then you'd be able to use those for 80% of your gamedev needs (opus is overkill for them, tbqh).

>>
>>110130722
didn't know this existed
so, anyone here have a good workflow for creating videogame animations?
so far i've had claude learn from motion capture videos or reauthor the frame data from existing animation files, but it's still kinda jank and requires multiple iterations

aside from 3d humanoid models, animation still seems pretty rough for LLMs rn. hopefully in like 2 or 3 model generations they can already oneshot them from scratch...
>>
>>110141018
Yes my workflow currently is stealing from other games.
>>
>>110141018
Yeah there's no real way around this I don't think.
Maybe some sort of visual scripting that would allow the model to create the animation based on a video or something (instead of guessing what the video depicts and turning it into code) could have interesting results?
Like tracing an image, but tracing an animation instead.

>>
im making a touhou fangame, i thought it would be easy but nope. Really really hard... I also thought i would be able to just shamelessly use AI for the art, music, and whatever but im too ashamed so im also learning how to draw and how to make music.
I gave claude lots of notes and ideas for an editor for my game and its pretty full-fledged and intuitive for the stage aspect. However for the bosses, i have to usually draw a step by step giga pattern thing and then i send that to claude and he sends me mockups and mockups until im satisfied with the general design and then he puts it as a preset in my editor.
>>
>>110147271
I'm not a shmup guy, and I have no idea how shmups are usually done, but I'm thinking the best and easiest way for you to do boss would be to just ask claude to create a software that would allow you to edit and easily test the patterns on the fly.
Think of it like reading a video, with a progress bar in the bottom that you can move forward and backward as you want, and you could just draw the attacks on there directly, yadda yadda.
>>
>>110147304
oh yeah i thought of the exact same thing, i had him make the editor for me to be just like that. Initially my prompts were all planned out and organized but as i was trying to make this editor as intuitive and comfortable for me to use, i just kept asking him for random stuff like "make it so i can draw a rectangular box over the timeline like sony vegas" and it would surprisingly work just like a video editing software. Although if i knew how to read my code i think it would be safe to bet that its a huge mess right now, but i hope my incessant reminders to log everything will help with that in the future if things were to break.
>>
>>110147342
Well I stopped giving a fuck about whether the code was spaghetti or not a long time ago, he takes care of this now, I have zero reasons to care.
He's much better than I am at handling this and if something breaks, he'll fix it, but he's also usually on top of things and I have him create test suites for my projects all the time, one of my games' entire test suites takes 70 minutes to run and sometimes (but rarely) catches shit way ahead of time and he'll remind me 'yeah we skipped on doing that then, but now that the framerate budget is getting tighter, we should do that', and he does and voila.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea to try to keep up with the code, but I'm not personally able to read up on.... however hundreds of thousands of lines of codes he writes up for me every week.
>>
>>110147304
oh you meant drawing attacks, like actually drawing but replacing the lines with bullet sprites or something. Maybe i could do that, something i learned from trying to replicate these boss patterns is that its a lot easier to make fulfilling and exciting patterns if they are attached to a character's traits. tomorrow i plan to start working on my unique characters and making it so there would be a lot more material for what their patterns should be, plus u gotta think of how patterns form because it can feel a little static and flat if a pattern just comes out of the air like that. So for that i essentially need to use claude because theres no way i can have all of that set to values or whatever
>>
>>110147378
I do worry about the optimization aspect, i have a giga PC but this editor i made was chugging a little, so i hope claude could have the final game running on low spec laptops or it would be really embarassing.
>>
>>110147401
I was worried too, but he knows how to handle this as well; it's a matter of prioritization, it came to a point where my mech game was chugging along down to 20 fps, and a day later I was at 220fps, without it affecting the visuals in any way.

Just tell it to create tests while capping your cpu clock because you want the game to run well on lower end hardware, you can probably even tell it steam deck and it'll know what to do tbqh.
>>
>>110147271
>im also learning how to draw and how to make music.
yep same, cba to deal with the code but I nag claude to keep things tidy. If something lags too much i make sure it gets fixed and then I just focus on my shitty doodles. making art has been fun, seeing it improve is encouraging me to keep trying
>>
>>110146353
It's not magic, if you want to make something good you still need to grind. It can get things you don't want to deal with out of your way, but without your attention nothing will stand out.
Using it as a search engine and helper is still the best way to build your skills desu. Vibing is for testing out prototypes
>>
>>110147150
Yeah sure, though it really isn't in a state that would be useful for games right now- it's way too fragile. You can't walk over rough terrain or physics objects without the legs spazzing out.

At some point, I will also probably switch from a procedural system to a neural net, and train it on the copyrighted motion matching data as a base then tune it further. I find that it's a lot easier to tweak neural nets with an LLM workflow than it is to tweak more traditional procedural systems, as the neural nets can juggle a ton of competing edge cases and avoid specific negative instances more easily when an agent is working on them from my commands.

That's why I switched to a neural net for the rock climber- it's way easier to catch all of the edge cases without hard rules that override and clash into one another if those edge cases are just defined in the reward mechanism during training.

Honestly, these models are insanely good at doing ML. They can basically create and iterate on the RL environments and reward functions all on their own, just with my occasional input as a human who is evolved to process information visually. They can even detect if the neural net is cheating and adjust the training to correct it mid-run. It's like having an ML researcher watching your training runs and steering them while you sleep. Just nuts.

But yeah, I'll post the character controller stuff here when it's a bit better- just started on it today.

Because you need an idea and be creative enough to embed a story into it. I can write technical demos, can do that even without AI however I can't write stories for shit (and AI writing stories always turns out boring slop) and the times that technical demos could become games are over since the 90s. People expect a story, something like a movie or like a good musical ballad at least not just some eye-candy.

Have you looked at the other ones?
They're basically overtaken by concern trolls and falseflaggers to make the regulars and other autists seethe over AI, and this thread is the real AGDG thread made by and for people that want to work on games; with and without AI.
It's pretty simple and logical when you look at the states of each threads.

Right, because video games are better with more assets and more systems, there's no way simpler games with very basic but well thought out designs and very small amounts of assets would make millions of sales like schedule 1, or palworld, or vampire survivor, or minecraft, or...?
>>
>>110146353
If you allow me to get my two cents here.
I think we had this conversation back when AI art slop pics where getting started, I think people always hated low effort pictures that took 3 seconds to generated and you could gen 100 of them under a minute. Most of the anons that were in the thread weren't against the AI art itself but they were against someone barely doing any modifications and posting them like it was the greatest thing on the planet. People hate low effort stuff, that simple, however you give them a high quality AI product they are going to absolutely love it. I think the best trend I have seen that illustrates has been the recent "Malfoid" trend on witter where a AI artist used SeedDance to make quick 5 minutes anime with Maifoid and people loved it, even if it was AI they didn't really care, because it was high quality. And it's going to be the same with every single field AI is touching.

There will always be slop, there will always be people clonning other games and putting them on google play to lie and scam other people who don't know any better but you are going to get the absolute highest tier stuff from people who cares about it, people who invest their time creating what they want to see.

You are still writing the prompts and you still need to validate what is being done. AI is your extension, it will push you to even higher greatness if you know what you are doing

What kind of coffee you boys drinking on? Right now I'm having Great Value brand French Vanilla cappuccino K cups with Coffee Mate Pumpkin spice creamer. I like French Vanilla (any brand, usually Great Value because I save money) creamer in it too but around Halloween it's Pumpkin spice for me. When it's hotter out I do Great Value Brand french vanilla beans in my Mr. Coffee and do iced coffee, and put Great Value brand vanilla bean icecream in it, some french vanilla creamer, and sometimes a little chocolate syrup. That shit is better than anything Starbucks has.
>>
>>110151187
The cheapest brand there is because I don't like coffee, I only drink it out of necessity, and then I add so much cream and so much sugar to it, and also some hazelnut juice on top of it, to the point where it barely tastes like coffee anymore.
More often than not, it's just a big ole' monster can, those new melon tasting ones are god tier.

a question for those using AI to reverse engineer/decompile. I want to RE and old MMO play it local/offline but the damn client is protected by two different systems to prevent RE (gameguard and themida). would a frontier model be able to break through these and does anyone have experience doing so?
>>
>>110151486
This is the boat I am in. I'm sure it be smarter to sandbox it but it just makes it a pain so I dont. I was originally thinking of getting a laptop for it instead, but never bothered.

I bought a small PC just for vibecoding. Doesn't use much power, and I can just connect to it with RDP, if I want to test the game (fine for a dungeon crawler).

>>110151506
there is no way a current day frontier model wouldn't absolutely shit on an old mmo's protection system, anon
the problem is more akin to whether the frontier model would allow you to do so in the first place if the game is still running and the copyrights are still protected, that, I do not know
>>
>>110151533
from my attempts with older models, this shit is fucking devious. the code is packed and has to be unpacked during runtime, with at least one fake start. gameguard detects any sort of debugger use including those at ring-0. if i had another machine i could use a ring-1 hypervisor debugger but i dont so now im more wondering if the packed code can still be statically analyzed

Not even AI can help the average agdgnigger, that's the answer.
AI cannot grasp some tasks even with a master prompter.
AI absolutely cannot do some tasks if you don't have at least surface level knowledge of them yourself.
AI can let you use languages and libraries you don't fully know.
If you're a level 99 dev, AI will relieve you in bandwidth but not ability. Above all you will be frustrated by how slow it is.
If you're level 1, it might feel like you will never have to work again.
There is no free lunch because review bandwidth is your new bottleneck.
Breadth of knowledge is now more important than depth. Being able to recite algos from memory was already useless, but now everyone has to face this reality. The guy who skimmed everything and didn't study "properly" is now an omnichad.
The task difficulty profile is different for you and for AI. The AI can zeroshot you a C preprocessor from memory, but fail to understand and implement "give yourself a debug port accepting messages in this format and use it to live debug the build on my machine". The moment you step out of what's in the training corpus, the IQ drops by like 30.
LLMs are bad at good but underrepresented languages like Lisp. Sucks because these languages waste less tokens.
LLMs have fundamental limitations (context size & rot) that put a hard limit on the size of your project, forcing you to get gud regardless.
Your usage pattern gives you 90% of the power already, "agents" save you about as much time as they waste if you try to do everything with them.
Lastly AIs are fucking annoying to deal with, think a coworker who keeps fucking up and then lying through his teeth about it, combined with a fat stackoverflow and linuxquestions goblin who tries to turn everything into an AB problem and tells you to file bugs with upstream and not him.

>Could I make an MMORPG with most assets just taken from sketchfab?

> Can I get an AI that changes sketchfab assets in blender for me?
Depends what sort of assets we are talking here, I think AI still has quite a hard time with asset creation but if you want small simple changes it should be able to do it.
>>
>>110151791
it's the weakest part still
pixel art is close to solved if all you want is static assets since mathematically placing things in-editor is pretty neay but still falls apart if needing consistent sprites across animations

for 3d it's a lot better at mechs and other symmetrical box-like things, it sucks ass at humans.
>>
>>110151816
A lot of things like trees, rocks, furniture etc don't matter too much that should all just be freely available. I'm thinking I can do humanoids in a character creator for most species. But there's still armor pieces, weapons, beasts, etc that have to be a bit more unique.

you'd have to restrict yourself to bipeds to do animation easily, you could also just animate by hand, it doesn't take that long. this randomly reminds me that GLM could not perform a simple re-rotation of a bone's keyframes after changing roll, i had to explain to the fucker like 4 times that it's not even attempting the correct thing, point it to the axis and describe the actual transformation verbally

AI will struggle with organic modeling (Like humanois, animals and stuff like that) quite a bit. bit if you stick with rather simple hard shaped objects (like trees, rocks, furniture) AI MAY do a good job at that, sadly it's still a bit shit no matter how much you try and tinker with it,
>>

>>110151830
and this kind of illustrates the issue with AI. it will help you with the ritual of enumerating all actions in nla tracks and editing their keyframes, even set up undo correctly, but trip and break its face the moment the work isn't ritual but actual work. even a recall task like
>make me SSAO with bounce approximation like blender
something that should be memoized from corpora, had opus running in circles until i described how to do the sampling, the convolution, the bouncing, noising, ended up

here's another fun one, until yesterday my SSRR shader had a barely detectable gain issue where the clanker boosted the reflection to "fix" a fresnel issue i reported, resulting in it being subtly brighter than what it's reflecting. this sat unnoticed for weeks until i caught it while flying a camera around a stage. this one was broken by opus and fixed by glm flash, so model size is not an indicator of gamedev knowledge or a model's ethics

>>110151936
>ended up
ended up designing the whole thing from scratch, just from higher level primitives like "convolve this render target with edge preservation", i can't imagine having to do this without all my knowledge being already preinstalled, i know someone who was doing the exact same thing around the same time, and claude was not able to deliver him a good pbr renderer without having to consult me as well. this was a perfect a/b test where we had the same AI and almost the same knowledge with the only difference being that i have worked with pbr before

>>110152071
Yeah I know. I'm just saying if your game gets big people will asset rip it. How do you plan on doing the frontend? Unreal? Custom engine? Godot? Three.js?
>>
>>110152071
The whole hacking thing is a cat and mouse type of situation. But now with AI it's turbo charged.
So to answer your question, it's now easier than ever for ANY one to point claude at your game and say: "I want to write a exploit for this" and it will get it done. Assume they can dodge the filters and whatnot.
But it's also a powerful tool for you since you can also ask Claude to try and find and issues with your game or whole stack (since you are talking about a creating an MMO) and ask it to find blatant errors or other spots that you might have missed.
So, is it harder or easier? I think it's the same at the same time, it's easier for you and the hacker to patch important systems but it's harder for you to fight back against every single person trying to hack your game. Not to mention people with actual cybersecurity skills WITH AI tooling will be able to do far more damage.

The way I see it is if it's an MMO who gives a shit? The code is going to be on the backend. If it's small no one is going to care enough to rip it and remake a private server.

NTA but much better than for unity or unreal, imo.
everything is text so claude can just edit the files in your system without even opening the editor, and because the engine itself is open source he can just... literally look at why something doesn't work like he thought it did.
>>

It's worth taking a fullstack web dev course honestly to learn good practices for backend stuff. You gotta be careful vibecoding database and auth stuff. You don't want to end up like Tea app and doing something retarded.

It's not hard IF you know what you're doing.
>>
>>110152496
i have a blender mcp but no godot mcp; claude can edit the entire game by just changing text in the filetree. for debugs i have some tailored headless scripts for him to use with the paired _console.exe build, at no point does he ever operate inside the GUI.

>>110152520
>claude can edit the entire game by just changing text in the filetree
really? That is pretty interesting. I guess since you have said godot is just files, but how does he tests the game itself? Does him take pictures of the gameplay and adjust?
>>
>>110152448
I'm using unity for the witch game, and godot for the other two, and claude is pretty good with both, I also tried UE but it's just much slower because there's dozens of shit it has to take into account, where godot is... 95% just pure code, so it can do everything and iterate at the speed of light, without ever having to give a shit about the editor or blender or anything.

Godot's pretty good, though I'm scared to hit a wall performance wise because the engine isn't as mature, but then I could probably figure out extra ways to make it work, and by me, I mean the clanker will.
>>
>>110152541
i've directed him to expose "tunables" within the files (as @export), which lets me easily adjust the things he wouldn't know to fix from his headless runs. so anything that isn't "does this work yes/no", but feel-related, i can just slide back and forth in the inspector.
