Have you worked on your game this week? Got anything cool to share?
>>750632324I need to rebalance my battle systemWhich means I need to (ugh) play my own game
>>750632324>Got anything cool to share?This.I need games to train Claude on.
I'm tired of troongating
>>750632324>Have you worked on your game this week?Yes>Got anything cool to share?Still no. Maybe in a month or two I'll have a proper update.>nobody caresI know. I'm posting this here for myself. I've been in the asset grind trench for so long I'm starting to forget the joy of mechanical progress and showing off the game coming together.
>>750632324Yeah, did a bunch of stuff, but I don't think there's anything "cool", I guess. I remembered Golden Sun doing some fun things with its text, so I added some stuff as well. Still have one and a half days left for the Game Jam, so I gotta go fast.
>>750632324I cant codetheres no good online coursesyou get demonized for vibe coding vibe coding is limited anyway
>>750635445>I cant codelearn>theres no good online coursesthen how does anyone learn>you get demonized for vibe coding>vibe coding is limited anywayIf vibe coding is the difference between the game being made and not made, just vibe code. Sure it's slop garbage and you should have learned to be an actual programmer instead, but would you rather your game get made fun of for being vibe-coded garbage, or not exist at all? If this shit is really a barrier, if you're really too retarded to learn to program, then why not use whatever is at your disposal to make the game?>But then nobody will buy itif getting financial reward from others was why you wanted to make a game, you never should have decided to make a game.
>>750635445what's stopping you from using gamemaker or rpg maker? don't need code for those.
>>750635616Or Unreal Engine, at least before 6 ruins everything because Sweeney has AI psychosis you can still use Blueprints.
I ran out of usage
I ran out of will to live

I nodevved really hard this week.
This shit tread was already done yesterday.Can you sniff that nobody gives a shit?
>>750636045Are devs demoralized or afraid of getting their games stolen? Is game dev dead?
>>750636163that nigger just spams the thread every day of the weekit's obvious why it doesn't last. progress takes time.
Making a George Floyd map in Sven
holy samefag
>>750632753Just prototype in Excel.Easy as hell to tweak things, and immediate results.You can just pirate an old version if you don't want to sponsor microjeet.
>>750632324Yeah, I got a bunch of stuff done, but I finally finished the custom color pallet code for my characters. I had like 90% of the code lines up for this for a while, and just never finished it. I even added a line on Ellie's tail that can be colored. By default it usually is the same color as the surrounding fur, but it you use it correctly, you can make Ellie look like a skunk. It syncs online, so people can make custom colors for them.
>>750636382good stuff. i like customization like that
>>750632324i'm making a fangame, should i even bother continue working on it though? seems like as soon as there's a local alternative to claude, traditional gamedev will be finished, people will just prompt out shit of similar quality in an afternoon
>>750636364>Just prototype in Excel.what black magic is this you speak ofI have Excel but only use it to easily keep track of lists and shit
2-3 days left of adding dialogue
>>750636163>Is game dev dead?no, everyone on 4chan who does gamedev just moved to the thread with IDs though
>>750636507Any formulas or algorithms can be prototyped in Excel. E.g. you can have it add up stats from the player with or without equipment, and simulate attacks, spells or abilities on enemies or players with different stats and equipment.I usually mess around with different scaling options and multipliers to try to balance my shit.
>>750636507I've also made a ton of games in Excel, just to try out different things. VBA is limited, but works pretty well. You can even fuck together simple multiplayer. I made an Excel MMO at my last workplace, with a server sheet and client sheets.
>>750636791how do you balance without players or testers? if your monsters have AI and all that
>>750636731Link?
>>750636791>>750636865Neat. Thanks for the tip, I may try it out.
>>750636867You could make some rudimentary AI using VBA and run simulations with logged output to a worksheet, but I mostly just check the different damage scalings for spells and abilities and how it works with different equipment and armor.

>>750637756this kek, a shithole for luddites
>>750637370My god this amount of third worlder...What the fuck happened to this site
>>750632324Spent the past few weeks trying to fix my freelook camera that lets you look at your body and your hands, I have an issue where if you looked straight down - the camera would start rotating instead of swaying left to right, this is generally seen as normal behaviour because of how 3d cameras work, came to the conclusion that I need 2 cameras and switch between them, spent ages on this, ended up tossing it out and going back to what I started with as its good enough and im making so little progress that I cant keep getting stuck on stupid shit like this
>>750637370Wow, progress and not much shitposting.Discord trannies must hate it
Made portraits for the characters
>>750638135drawthreads and gamedevs have been basically third world hubs since 2011~ to anyone who was ever a regular in the steam groups>whyi dunno, white man doing a bit of creative offshoring? third worlders trying to escape (both figuratively in terms of escapism and actual escape from shitholes) through art and creation?
>>750638404Nice boy
>>750638315this looks cool, cant wait to decompile it and put it on the eshop
>>750638853hate this nigga
>>750635445all you need is if/elses, for loops, int/float/string, and maaaaybe knowing how to call a functionthose few tools are enough to do 99% of shit you want
>>750638853You gunna steal my mini game?
>>750638853umm darling, steam and nintendo started cracking down on this
>>750638905Its not stealing its decompiling its takes a lot of effort and skill>>750638946I have my own unique projects to sustain me
>>750638754Your moms a boy nigga
I counted every bullet in DoDonPachi the other day. Now I'm counting every enemy and bullet in Battle Garegga so I know what I need to do. These games use a lot of red balls.I also made this art of the mc I liked but I feel like I drew him too gay and I'm going to attract undesirables to my game.
>>750639261Ah yes, Alone in the Dar- I mean Mansion of The Macabre, a classicAlso check out Final Fantasy Mystic Ques- I mean Jacob's Quest, another classic.
>>750639317>>750638404Sexy Shotas
>>750639367why is he old?
>>750639597Ok rasko
Doing some autistic shit like characters reacting to interruptions if they're punched mid-sentence.
>>750639768The grim reaper is immortal and has been around a long time, it makes sense he's old.
