I thought he meant a genre game and was just being an ass about it, ALA "oh you like Intrustion 2? I didn't know you like Mega Man".
If he meant strict one to one inspirations of games, I dislike that as well (especially when it's very clear where's there's a room of improvement, I'm looking at you Mimi studios and not letting me see multiple enemies FOV at once). Still he's incorrect to say there isn't a market for it, sadly it's a good way to market your game.
+Free: Real free, Richard Stallman free, you never pay a dollar for it and they don't get a dime from you using it
+Open source: What you see is what you get, no hidden telemetry bullshit, also means plugins and modifications by the community are very abundant
+Very lightweight: It's 25MB and almost completely portable (The only real hitch is file directories for projects but theoretically you could do it all within a portable drive)
+Seamless: You can dick around with 2D and 3D scenes alongside editing the actual code without any interruptions, even debugging is incredibly fast
+Popular in the court of public opinion: Unity shit the bed hard so a lot of people are batting for Godot now, so it's easy to grift by just saying "Made in Godot!"
-Scripting is shit: While it has a lot of cool features like signals and such, it has a proprietary language called GDScript which is basically Python for morons so it's not very translatable to other engines or vice versa. You CAN finagle using C# instead but it's very much a band-aid solution even with official support.
-Incredibly fricked shaders: Despite being in the year of our lord 2023 you can't actually smoothly load shaders in real time. Say you wanted an enemy to burst into flames when they died - that will ALWAYS hitch up the game as it has to load in the effects. You can set up a loading screen to preload these effects and keep them hidden but that's a band-aid solution.
-Shitty documentation: There's a lot of crazy shit you can do with Godot, and most of it isn't even shown in the documentation as it's mostly function summaries with very little detail, and some just outright have no entries. You find out about it from people who were experimenting with it and documented it themselves.
-Asset issues: While you do have a built-in 3D modeler, things like levels and geography are things you're gonna have to do yourself, and it's awful every time
-Demographics: The community's full of troons. Enough said.
>how is that a problem?
Added work for something that shouldn't even be a problem. And what you suggested is just a more detailed version of what I said - it's not a proper solution, it's a band-aid solution.
well that's the price to pay when you are using FOSS but if you can still make a quick workaround then who cares, they will fix it just someday like they are fixing a lot of shit with each version

The problem is shaders change depending on the lighting. > Player turns on a light > Everything flickers as the shaders recompile
You have to put every shader in every combination of lighting conditions that you expect to use for them to be ready.
If that wasn't bad enough, I'm pretty sure if you swap the lighting too fast, it CANCELS the shader compilation, so you can't just turn the lights on and off really fast to get all the shaders compiling, you have to wait for them to get done, which you can't do because there's no API to see if shaders are compiling in the background.
There really needs to be a method of saving what shader variations are needed and compiling them at the start.
Wait a minute, this is the first time I've heard about this.
Do you mean to tell me if I make a single Dynamic light that rotates across the sky to act as the sun light in my day/night cycle, that the shaders will recalculate every frame, and there is no way around it?
A shader should have parameters declared as "uniforms" in the shader code, which are bound to variables in your program. Any dynamic lighting would be implemented using a uniform array of light positions that can be changed at runtime, so it should never involve recompiling a shader.

Thanks for clarification!
Forgive my ignorance. When does a shader need to recompile at runtime?
Something as simple as changing an RGB value or sliding a threshold on a shader?
Good post. I vouch for everything here except maybe "shitty documentation". I don't know what people expect, for the computer to download all the info into your brain? There was never anything I couldn't find easily so idk what "secrets" aren't documented.
>I don't know what people expect, for the computer to download all the info into your brain?
It's more that there are entire chapters of functions that literally just list that they exist without even saying what they do. It's frustrating because this should've been something handled before adding more features. Explain what you've got before you get yourself more shit. I'm not asking for "secrets" or whatever, I can figure that shit out on my own when I know what exactly it is I'm looking at.
The docstrings and class/method level explanations are good. The guides and adjacent documentation on the other hand are counterintuitive, jarring, and otherwise Indian as frick. This is not a common opinion though.

1. Devs moving over to Godot need to learn an entirely new language (or jump through hoops for C#)
2. Devs who want to move on from Godot have zero experience in more common languages, they're limited to Godot. Expanded perspective of languages is what separates alright devs from good ones. >nice meme
It really isn't. Any time I put up a question on their git or stackexchange or, and I say this in nauseated tone, reddit the best answers are from thigh-high sock-wearing hairy sex pests. Trannies love fringe nerd shit and Godot is within that fringe right now. I won't deny their efficacy in wasting more time than I have on figuring out problems that boggle me, but they're still creeps and it makes interaction with the larger "community" (which is a necessity for an open source project since the best support will rarely be dev-side, especially with Godot where they're more busy with upgrading over fixing) irksome.
Different anon, new "dev" here: Isn't it true that learning one language makes it far easier to learn another? I took a course in javascript and css and I was able to apply even those disparate skills to gdscript so I figure learning something with gdscript as your only basis wouldn't exactly be that hard. Surely?
>Isn't it true that learning one language makes it far easier to learn another?
It's easier to go from another language to GDScript than it is to go from GDScript to the more common languages, but all GDScript will really teach you is things like order of execution, syntax, and some key vocabulary. But it's like saying you learn to bake from making pancakes - sure, some similar factors are there, but it's so far removed you're gonna lack a lot of savviness and will have to unlearn certain behaviors to the point you might as well start fresh. In addition, the actual formatting of GDScript is quite different from the more popular languages (In particular bracket and space usage). And even then, moving into GDScript, especially if you're porting a project over is incredibly frustrating.
This doesn't make GDScript a bad language either, mind you, I fricking love signals and I love how easily deployable scripts can be in Godot, but it sets up bad habits it really shouldn't. That being said, it's still better for learning than blueprints (And there is a fun plugin that lets you visualize signals so that it retains the Blueprint "format" if you're super super green to gamedev and came from UE4/5).

Would you say it's worth putting up with Unity's bullshit given that I'm just trying to learn the process of making vidya as well as apply and expand on them minuscule amount of programming knowledge I currently have?
I always figured it'd be easier to do so on Unity than Godot coz of the issues you've mentioned with their proprietary scripting language but also there just seemed to be a LOT more support/documentation/fricking google results for unity dev shit when I last looked.
And given that fact, I can only imagine the current gen GPTbots have an easier time giving decent starting points for doing X or Y and I can take it from there, maybe ask clarifying questions and whatnot and actually get something usable.
Nah bro. Anyone can learn a new language and adapt if they already know the concept of it. That is why Python is considered the standard go-to for newcomers. So the idea that you are limited because of GDScript is just moronic.

You'll be able to choose a hero unit(who you can romance/frick while playing matches and they aren't on the field) or you can opt to spend time with defeated hero units from the other players, raping and mind breaking them to give them debuffs on respawn.
Eventually, mind broken hero units will turn on their players if summoned to the board.

I want to make both normal games and porn games, do I go the normal -> porn or porn -> normal route? Which one will have people be less disgusted with me as a person?
An hypnosis simulation game. Its very sandbox-like, allows free fondling and encourages you to experiment with different techniques. Takes a lot of inspiration from the golden era flash H-games.
The process is gradual, and you get different types of scenes based on what thoughts you add, delete or modify, and multiple endings depending on what mental state you left her in.
Not sure if people would still find such a game interesting, though.
Since this is the closet we have to a game dev thread on Ganker right now i'll ask here: When making textures for ps1 style game should i first draw them in what ever resolution i prefer and then downscale to 256x256 or draw them in that size from the start?
You can always downscale with little or no downside. But upscaling is a different story. Don't assume you're always going to want 256x256, you might change your mind later. So make them in hi-res, then downscale. It's safer.
Is there just a gypsy curse for devs with groin issues going around? I had just gotten started on a project and my hip flexors and adductors got completely fricked up to the point I can't even sit comfortably for extended periods of time.
Don't know. Someone posted that testicular torsion thread a few days ago and that very afternoon I got up and rolled a teste. Crazy how that works. I'm going back to tighter underwear. Loose fitting boxers have been nothing but trouble since trying them out.
Funnily enough on Monday morning I had gone to the hospital specifically because I thought I had either partial torsion or the early stages of it because of an awful, on-off pain in righty. Turned out to be fine sans a hydrocele which they can't do much about. Ended up learning from a friend in orthopedics that all my pains indicated I somehow fricked up every single goddamn muscle in my groin and it's gonna take a couple weeks to heal.
WHY THE FRICK DOES GODOT NOT HAVE CONES INTRINSICALLY
I KNOW THEY'RE ABSOLUTE Black folk IN 3D SPACE BUT IT'S A FRICKING HEADACHE BECAUSE IT MEANS I NEED TO IMPORT MODELS INSTEAD OF WORKING WITH THE NATIVE MESHES IN THE ENGINE
I can do mediocre 3d animation and I'm also a mediocre coder.
I always progress, then scrap a project entirely when I either finish making a mechanic I think is cool, OR when I hit a roadblock.
.
This time, I made character animations till the point I was coding how the combat transitions and hit boxes work. THAT SHIT IS PAINFUL. Scrapped that project, I'll probably try again later and make further progress.
A good programmer could make a soulslike in Godot over a weekend.
>WHY THE FRICK DOES GODOT NOT HAVE CONES INTRINSICALLY

>The frick are you doing?
Cones geometrically are useful for certain areas of effect such as vision/detection areas. The only truly triangular mesh you have is a prism which offers no such benefits. I had to model my own goddamn cone and import it.
>add cone mesh >set top radius to 0
but I want collisionshape not mesh >click on "mesh" dropdown button from the top of the viewport while meshinstance node is selected >create trimesh static body >duplicate if you want multiple
I don't necessarily blame you for missing this but you should have figured it out before resorting to modeling your own. Godot can generate collision-shapes for every model you import
>still see tons of people in the gd community who swear off unity >actually pretending theyre important enough for the new fee system to apply to them
this shit is hilarious to me. buddy you're making a ps1 horror game, you're not pulling $100k.
I dropped the tutorial.
I have 0 confidence that'll I'll be able to finish anything. And I'm not even one of those morons who's dreaming too big. I guess from my point of view, every dream is too big.
But hey, I'll see if I can go back to learning the engine this weekend. It sucks that we don't have tutorials for certain specific things that I'd like to use, ie fixed cameras. But that's part of the deal, figuring out how to implement that shit on your own.
Thx for reading my blog.
Also does anyone here knows how Godot fares with point and click games? I've been thinking of doing something like that, similar to Snatcher, but I have yet to see a Godot game like that.

>Used Unity to make a game in the past, was fun >Trying out Godot now, feels kinda unwieldy but getting the hang of it >Suddenly get struck by inspiration to make a puzzle game like Puyo Puyo but with tetris-like shapes
Should I make it in Godot or Unity? This isn't even asking for advice as much as it is which one people think will be more fun to do.
Godot is arguably better for 2d anyway, and with the recent nosedive of unity corporate I think it would be reasonable to at least experiment to godot for such a small project like this.
Not even a question, Godot. Godot is literally a 2D engine that got 3D support, it's probably my favorite choice for any 2D game.
Thanks anons, I'll do it in Godot then.
Thanks for the idea gayala. Now I'm gonna be rich. 🙂
How dare you.
Unfortunately I'm sure that the developers of Puyo Puyo Tetris probably tried the most literal interpretation of the idea and found it unfun. What I'm going for will be themed around something more specific which I think will make it more enjoyable.
Godot is arguably better for 2d anyway, and with the recent nosedive of unity corporate I think it would be reasonable to at least experiment to godot for such a small project like this.
your lack of historic knowledge is baffling, godot was originally a 3d engine. it ended up primarily being used for 2d due to the low budgets and primitive hardware being targeted by the studios using it before it was released publicly.

I honestly just played with the keys until I learned about scales and now I just make sure the keys stay in the scale and i make chords that sound nice. I just do it all by ear.
I'm him and I've got some funds set aside for that purpose, generous offer as it is
just listen to anything linked on vocaroo on here and you get a pretty quick idea of why you don't let 1MA do their own soundtracks
I was using quickcast keys for the spells, but it has a radial menu
jump, attack, rewind and turbo have their own buttons
so like 5 main inputs with casting, but a few extra inputs for finer stuff (spell menu, double tap up/down for a dodge/lunge with iframes, crouch slides, climbing, open a map, etc etc). As long as "rewind" replaces "shield" for most games it avoids too much complexity
When do you intend to publicize the game and build a following for it if at all? Or maybe you already have idk. Also what have you worked on prior to this project?
At that point, there'll be no-one left to care about your ideas anymore, because everyone has their own. Everyone's going to get stuck in their own bubble, catered perfectly to their wishes.

Bros, i've been thinking of learning how to animate in Unreal Engine. Do you think jobs will still exist for that field in 2-3 years, or will A.I have already cucked me?
Help anons, how do I get the red gradient effect on my textures like this. Do I seriously have to go into photoshop and do each texture? Theres gotta be an easier way.
fricking hell it might really be, someone doing a texture pack and theres no ambient occlusion effects on the floor, if there was a shader or something it would have been there still. God damn thats so much work.
If I remember well the videos of that one autist completely rewriting Mario64's engine for max performance & quality, the N64 can handle up to 8 source of directional light, allowing to simulate point lights if you are willing to tweak the "directional light" value accordingly.
I didnt think the N64 could handle that much lighting i thought that sort of thing was intensive?
oh I thought that was the gc game (I never played any paper mario games) so it was probably just editing the textures yeah
fricking hell it might really be, someone doing a texture pack and theres no ambient occlusion effects on the floor, if there was a shader or something it would have been there still. God damn thats so much work.
it's probably just vertex coloring which is super common in early 3d games that don't suck ass
vertex colors, colors that are baked into the model itself. pretty much ever n64/playstation game used it, only useful if you dont have dynamic lights but its essentially free processing wise
Writing is painfully slow. On the other hand, I have 2500 porn pictures for it made in koikatsu that after I finish the script I will shamelessly trace and touch up with AI.
It's completely the reason I didn't gamedev for years, I swear! I was learning to draw! Turns out a proper desk and chair are vital to get actual work done
Honestly I love coding, I love making music, I love pretty much everything in game dev except for making fricking art. I really really hate the process and I dont know why. It also is unfortunately the most intensive part of the whole process and takes the longest to get good at relative to the rest of the skills. Even now Im procrastinating because Im supposed to do some practice today.

>make progress on systems >change art style >make progress on systems >change art style >change art style >can't commit on art >make progress on systems
I have a problem
I got a Godot question maybe someone can answer.
So rather than importing a model, you can use a .blend file and create a new inherited Scene, and it works flawlessly, and it is nice because any changes I make in blender instantly updates in godot. The issue is that I have a lot of bones in my control rig which could cost preformance, and all the bones are in the Inherited scene, and I can't seem to remove them from my inherent scene "Alert! Can't operate on nodes the current scene inherits from!". Is there any way around that or will I have to export and import the model like I would with Unity?
fine, figured out that godot wasn't baking my lightmaps because it was trying to bake too much (which is stupid since unity baked much worse brush levels for me in the past). going to give it a break and work on other stuff. in the meanwhile, ill probably sketch some enemy designs and get some design doc work done so i can have a better idea of what i want
Writing the script for it, branching paths are a b***h. I don't know if I want to cop out and do a linear story but that seems lame for a mostly VN adventure game.
Trying to figure out an interesting system for interrogations without just ripping off Ace Attorney's system of looking for contradictions.
Write the main/intended route in a linear way, then go back and write the alternate paths. That way at least you'll feel like you are progressing the plot instead of being trapped forever writing different takes of the same day.

Is Godot 4.x worth moving to over Godot 3.x? I see that Godot can't export to HTML probably, but it's only on some browsers and on Mac. Something with the reasoning that Godot is more modern and hip than browsers.
It's going very well, content wise, it should only take 1-2 weeks to get all the remaining content I want in to be in. Then I get to wait and gather wishlists before releasing, and maybe updating one thing in the intro to be better. I think I already have an idea for another project once everything is set for launch.
use a single thread for drawn calls which are very expensive, this heavily bottle necks the game and i have to decrease drawn calls all the damn time otherwise OpenGL frame rate drops like a hammer.
I've learned C# for Unity years ago but my coding was shitty spaghetti code so I wanted to learn fresh the right way with Godot's GD Script. From what I understand however, C# is still a better language than Godots native one. Is that true or am I worrying about nothing?
C# is a bit faster yes, but you can generally do everything with GDscript and performance is still ok as long you don't make Yandere dev levels of bad code.
i use GDscript for everything until i find performance critical code and then convert that to C++, Godot supports C++ which is as fast you can get without getting to assembling/microcode homosexualry.

How do I pick a simple fricking idea and just finish something damn it
you got samples of your work for reference?
I wanted to do something 3D but if 2D something that is quick and simple, like a twist on an old arcade game
Are you guys making your game while NEETing or are you working a job in the meantime? I've been leeching off my parents hardcore for the past two years and it's starting to become a heavy burden on my conscience.
The avg age in Italy to move out of the home is 30. And it's higher in some other countries. But the moveout age overall has dramatically increased because of all the darkness everyone's been freaking out about for several years now. Hell, the most common theme for adults now seems to be getting their parents moved in with them once they're too old to be assed. Being a neet is no excuse though. Learn yourself a skill. Apply yourself. Stop being lazy.
>debugging because pygame randomly started dropping frames
i only got back into programming a month ago and now I remember why so many professionals are legitimately suicidal
There was an rts/fps/third person shooter 15 years ago. Had tanks, planes, submarines multiple factions etc, allade by him as asset stores were not a thing. insane for 1 person. Forgot the name.
>Holy frick I have never felt so inadequate in my entire life. >I shouldn't have looked.
Haha I know that feel. I forgot how impressive it was and how varied his units were etc.
it's almost sad he is how he is because I never followed the project at all but one his pedo shit was exposed I looked up the game and I really love that snap animation he did with shards and glass cracking. He sure had some good ideas and despite all the ridicule he "suffered" could have probably made a game worth taking at least a look at

why was he banned on all platforms before that anyway? Like his game was forbidden on twitch and shit. I never played it did it have sexual content?
but like, the entire point of the game is that its pedo shit, and anyone acts surprised when finding out he's a sexual deviant?
it would be like the guy who made columbine RPG getting canceled for making politically incorrect statements
>Like his game was forbidden on twitch and shit. I never played it did it have sexual content?
It's a game about murdering other schoolgirls in gruesome and/or stupid ways without getting caught.
Even if it was done in silly animu style and just following classic tropes, it didn't need anything sexual for most platforms to not want to be associated with it.
sane people would have chosen an office setting or at least university not fricking high school with only girls

Yandere *are* mostly an highschool trope tho.
Not that they never get written in settings with older people, but most of it rely on the character being a dumb teenager that can't handle her first burst of hormones nor handle proper social interactions.
I have 50 3d models to make... Then it will look somewhat presentable. Why did I go for a unique setting where no premade store assets come close? moronation perhaps.
I gave up over a decade ago. I was bankrolling a ww1 game with my personal income and later crypto earnings. But things just didn’t work out.
The release date was scheduled on July 31st 2014. The centenary of the Great War. But not only would we have not made the deadline. We had nothing to show after nearly two years in development. A single unfinished map. With missing textures. And assets ripped from other games. The devs I hired were completely inexperienced. The game was just not shaping up properly.
Sad really. I had some grand plans too. It was very ambitious. Over two dozen factions represented. America, The British Empire(with all its dominions), France, Germany, Russia, AustriaHungary, The Ottomans, Italy, Japan, Serbia, Greece, MonteBlack, Belgium, Portugal, Bulgaria, the Arab states, and so many more that I’ve forgotten. I had plans for hundreds of unlocks. That included weapons, (requestable)vehicles and attachments. Worldwide theaters of war. From the trenches of Western Europe, to the open fields of the Eastern front. The sands of Arabia to the shores of Gallipoli. The jungles of Africa to the Alpine mountains. The oceans of the Pacific to the coasts of Asia.
But alas. I was a fool and wasted my money. I spent over $100,000 by the time I pulled the project. I know I got scammed. And that is why I learned not to trust online and offshore companies. I truly believed that I could crank out a triple A experience on the cheap. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. I didn’t even want to charge money for it. I just wanted to make the definitive World War 1 experience.
Also I had plans for single player. I wanted to play as historical figures of note. One of those people would have been Private Adolf Hitler in the German campaign.
>. I wanted to play as historical figures of note. One of those people would have been Private Adolf Hitler in the German campaign.
Should start with that. But don't reveal the name, start him with more facial hair, grimy trench warfare etc, then when you reach the gas mask section, he shaves it to the classic tooth brush moustache before putting on the mask.
Actually I had it all planned out. You would start off as a silent protagonist in the German recruitment office. After giving up a letter from the Kaiser allowing you to enlist in spite of your austrian citizenship. The recruiter would shake your hand and welcome you to the Deutches Heer and refer to you as Herr Hitler. I wanted you to know who you were playing from the very get to. Of course you would relive many of hitler’s moments from his life during that time. The gas attack. The artillery bombardments. The running messages back and forth between the trenches. And occasionally you would get to play as secondary protagonist Manfred Von Richthofen aka the Red Baron in the sky above the trenches. With even more mainline missions being broken up and punctuated as tertiary protagonists took over, like a fireman who’s using the worlds first flamethrowers in the trenches and as a submarine captain hunting cargo ships in the pacific. Eventually as the submarine captain the final mission would be sinking the Lusitania. And as the Red Baron after you were shot down. You’d play as Hermann Goring.
Oh wow it’s been ten years now. I can’t believe I remembered all that. It’s like it’s permanently stored in my mind.
*As in, restart dev on your own as a small gamejam sized slice of ww1
I have zero talent or skill in computers. I was just bankrolling the whole project myself. I don’t think people would trust a complete technologically inept moron like me with their money. Also the world has gotten a lot more political now. Any attempt at portraying hitler in an unbiased and analytical light before all the national socialist stuff; would cause great controversy. And liable my project and person to character assassination and harassment.
Honestly if I had the money. I’d do it! I’d work on it in secret and not tell people the contents of the single player experience. I’d wait for them to figure it out on their own.

I wanna play "like X but slightly different", and it's more fun when thebibdies do it as opposed to when the AAA do it.
I make game I want to play. Not for the market.
And chances are I'm not so unique in taste that no one else will play it.
That's how the good games get made.
Slop is through market study.
Cause I actually play a lot of games and thus, can steal what I like from each and create a melting pot of good ideas.
That's not what he meant, he meant one of the hundreds derivative games released weekly, the ones that take a single idea and spread it into a "game".
I thought he meant a genre game and was just being an ass about it, ALA "oh you like Intrustion 2? I didn't know you like Mega Man".
If he meant strict one to one inspirations of games, I dislike that as well (especially when it's very clear where's there's a room of improvement, I'm looking at you Mimi studios and not letting me see multiple enemies FOV at once). Still he's incorrect to say there isn't a market for it, sadly it's a good way to market your game.

GODot
It's Unity, but without telemetry and bloat.
Money laundering scam for a portoricain homosexual
+Free: Real free, Richard Stallman free, you never pay a dollar for it and they don't get a dime from you using it
+Open source: What you see is what you get, no hidden telemetry bullshit, also means plugins and modifications by the community are very abundant
+Very lightweight: It's 25MB and almost completely portable (The only real hitch is file directories for projects but theoretically you could do it all within a portable drive)
+Seamless: You can dick around with 2D and 3D scenes alongside editing the actual code without any interruptions, even debugging is incredibly fast
+Popular in the court of public opinion: Unity shit the bed hard so a lot of people are batting for Godot now, so it's easy to grift by just saying "Made in Godot!"
-Scripting is shit: While it has a lot of cool features like signals and such, it has a proprietary language called GDScript which is basically Python for morons so it's not very translatable to other engines or vice versa. You CAN finagle using C# instead but it's very much a band-aid solution even with official support.
-Incredibly fricked shaders: Despite being in the year of our lord 2023 you can't actually smoothly load shaders in real time. Say you wanted an enemy to burst into flames when they died - that will ALWAYS hitch up the game as it has to load in the effects. You can set up a loading screen to preload these effects and keep them hidden but that's a band-aid solution.
-Shitty documentation: There's a lot of crazy shit you can do with Godot, and most of it isn't even shown in the documentation as it's mostly function summaries with very little detail, and some just outright have no entries. You find out about it from people who were experimenting with it and documented it themselves.
-Asset issues: While you do have a built-in 3D modeler, things like levels and geography are things you're gonna have to do yourself, and it's awful every time
-Demographics: The community's full of troons. Enough said.

Added work for something that shouldn't even be a problem. And what you suggested is just a more detailed version of what I said - it's not a proper solution, it's a band-aid solution.
well that's the price to pay when you are using FOSS but if you can still make a quick workaround then who cares, they will fix it just someday like they are fixing a lot of shit with each version
I'm aware, and I'm going to b***h until they fix it. I b***hed about wall/floor decals like blood splatters for years and lo and behold, it got added to 4.

The problem is shaders change depending on the lighting.
> Player turns on a light
> Everything flickers as the shaders recompile
You have to put every shader in every combination of lighting conditions that you expect to use for them to be ready.
If that wasn't bad enough, I'm pretty sure if you swap the lighting too fast, it CANCELS the shader compilation, so you can't just turn the lights on and off really fast to get all the shaders compiling, you have to wait for them to get done, which you can't do because there's no API to see if shaders are compiling in the background.
There really needs to be a method of saving what shader variations are needed and compiling them at the start.
Wait a minute, this is the first time I've heard about this.
Do you mean to tell me if I make a single Dynamic light that rotates across the sky to act as the sun light in my day/night cycle, that the shaders will recalculate every frame, and there is no way around it?
A shader should have parameters declared as "uniforms" in the shader code, which are bound to variables in your program. Any dynamic lighting would be implemented using a uniform array of light positions that can be changed at runtime, so it should never involve recompiling a shader.
Thanks for clarification!
Forgive my ignorance. When does a shader need to recompile at runtime?
Something as simple as changing an RGB value or sliding a threshold on a shader?
Good post. I vouch for everything here except maybe "shitty documentation". I don't know what people expect, for the computer to download all the info into your brain? There was never anything I couldn't find easily so idk what "secrets" aren't documented.
>I don't know what people expect, for the computer to download all the info into your brain?
It's more that there are entire chapters of functions that literally just list that they exist without even saying what they do. It's frustrating because this should've been something handled before adding more features. Explain what you've got before you get yourself more shit. I'm not asking for "secrets" or whatever, I can figure that shit out on my own when I know what exactly it is I'm looking at.
The docstrings and class/method level explanations are good. The guides and adjacent documentation on the other hand are counterintuitive, jarring, and otherwise Indian as frick. This is not a common opinion though.

1. Devs moving over to Godot need to learn an entirely new language (or jump through hoops for C#)
2. Devs who want to move on from Godot have zero experience in more common languages, they're limited to Godot. Expanded perspective of languages is what separates alright devs from good ones.
>nice meme
It really isn't. Any time I put up a question on their git or stackexchange or, and I say this in nauseated tone, reddit the best answers are from thigh-high sock-wearing hairy sex pests. Trannies love fringe nerd shit and Godot is within that fringe right now. I won't deny their efficacy in wasting more time than I have on figuring out problems that boggle me, but they're still creeps and it makes interaction with the larger "community" (which is a necessity for an open source project since the best support will rarely be dev-side, especially with Godot where they're more busy with upgrading over fixing) irksome.
Different anon, new "dev" here: Isn't it true that learning one language makes it far easier to learn another? I took a course in javascript and css and I was able to apply even those disparate skills to gdscript so I figure learning something with gdscript as your only basis wouldn't exactly be that hard. Surely?
>Isn't it true that learning one language makes it far easier to learn another?
It's easier to go from another language to GDScript than it is to go from GDScript to the more common languages, but all GDScript will really teach you is things like order of execution, syntax, and some key vocabulary. But it's like saying you learn to bake from making pancakes - sure, some similar factors are there, but it's so far removed you're gonna lack a lot of savviness and will have to unlearn certain behaviors to the point you might as well start fresh. In addition, the actual formatting of GDScript is quite different from the more popular languages (In particular bracket and space usage). And even then, moving into GDScript, especially if you're porting a project over is incredibly frustrating.
This doesn't make GDScript a bad language either, mind you, I fricking love signals and I love how easily deployable scripts can be in Godot, but it sets up bad habits it really shouldn't. That being said, it's still better for learning than blueprints (And there is a fun plugin that lets you visualize signals so that it retains the Blueprint "format" if you're super super green to gamedev and came from UE4/5).
I appreciate the comprehensive reply
hell yeah
I too appreciate the comprehensive reply anon.
Would you say it's worth putting up with Unity's bullshit given that I'm just trying to learn the process of making vidya as well as apply and expand on them minuscule amount of programming knowledge I currently have?
I always figured it'd be easier to do so on Unity than Godot coz of the issues you've mentioned with their proprietary scripting language but also there just seemed to be a LOT more support/documentation/fricking google results for unity dev shit when I last looked.
And given that fact, I can only imagine the current gen GPTbots have an easier time giving decent starting points for doing X or Y and I can take it from there, maybe ask clarifying questions and whatnot and actually get something usable.
Nah bro. Anyone can learn a new language and adapt if they already know the concept of it. That is why Python is considered the standard go-to for newcomers. So the idea that you are limited because of GDScript is just moronic.
Good reply. Will try it out.

I have decided to make a spin off prequel from my current 3rd person post apoc monster girl fricking puzzle game, to something smaller and easier to bust a demo out for in 3-4 months.
You'll play as a dude forced to take part in a conflict between two of the key in universe characters, via a tower defense style game using paranormal creatures, hosted by a demon.
You'll be able to choose a hero unit(who you can romance/frick while playing matches and they aren't on the field) or you can opt to spend time with defeated hero units from the other players, raping and mind breaking them to give them debuffs on respawn.
Eventually, mind broken hero units will turn on their players if summoned to the board.
I love the mind break mechanic. Giving debuffs to recurring enemies and eventually making them go berserk sounds fun.

An hypnosis simulation game. Its very sandbox-like, allows free fondling and encourages you to experiment with different techniques. Takes a lot of inspiration from the golden era flash H-games.
The process is gradual, and you get different types of scenes based on what thoughts you add, delete or modify, and multiple endings depending on what mental state you left her in.
Not sure if people would still find such a game interesting, though.
Since this is the closet we have to a game dev thread on Ganker right now i'll ask here: When making textures for ps1 style game should i first draw them in what ever resolution i prefer and then downscale to 256x256 or draw them in that size from the start?
You can always downscale with little or no downside. But upscaling is a different story. Don't assume you're always going to want 256x256, you might change your mind later. So make them in hi-res, then downscale. It's safer.
Everyone who promises to try out the demo either forgets or is too busy to do it and give any coherent feedback.

Funnily enough on Monday morning I had gone to the hospital specifically because I thought I had either partial torsion or the early stages of it because of an awful, on-off pain in righty. Turned out to be fine sans a hydrocele which they can't do much about. Ended up learning from a friend in orthopedics that all my pains indicated I somehow fricked up every single goddamn muscle in my groin and it's gonna take a couple weeks to heal.

You are 100% unironically better off using roblox than tying yourself to chromosomepunch of all people
i don't like lua anymore and i don't plan on becoming a full time game developer, this is just for fun. these tools are nice.
WHY THE FRICK DOES GODOT NOT HAVE CONES INTRINSICALLY
I KNOW THEY'RE ABSOLUTE Black folk IN 3D SPACE BUT IT'S A FRICKING HEADACHE BECAUSE IT MEANS I NEED TO IMPORT MODELS INSTEAD OF WORKING WITH THE NATIVE MESHES IN THE ENGINE
>How is your game going, anon?
I can do mediocre 3d animation and I'm also a mediocre coder.
I always progress, then scrap a project entirely when I either finish making a mechanic I think is cool, OR when I hit a roadblock.
.
This time, I made character animations till the point I was coding how the combat transitions and hit boxes work. THAT SHIT IS PAINFUL. Scrapped that project, I'll probably try again later and make further progress.
A good programmer could make a soulslike in Godot over a weekend.
>WHY THE FRICK DOES GODOT NOT HAVE CONES INTRINSICALLY
The frick are you doing?
>The frick are you doing?
Cones geometrically are useful for certain areas of effect such as vision/detection areas. The only truly triangular mesh you have is a prism which offers no such benefits. I had to model my own goddamn cone and import it.
>add cone mesh
>set top radius to 0
but I want collisionshape not mesh
>click on "mesh" dropdown button from the top of the viewport while meshinstance node is selected
>create trimesh static body
>duplicate if you want multiple
I don't necessarily blame you for missing this but you should have figured it out before resorting to modeling your own. Godot can generate collision-shapes for every model you import
*cylinder mesh
still just a brief idea in the back of my head, and that's probably all it'll ever be
sad
to me it's better than the unfinished graveyard of slop I end up seeing in agdg
If I wanna make a 2D platformer should I use Godot or Game Maker?
anyone knows where can I find a template for a fighting game /platform fighter? I can't code for shit
MUGEN
>update never ever
Anyone got a Wolf RPG manual?
>still see tons of people in the gd community who swear off unity
>actually pretending theyre important enough for the new fee system to apply to them
this shit is hilarious to me. buddy you're making a ps1 horror game, you're not pulling $100k.
If you like the telemetry then you do you bro. It's not a personal attack.
I dropped the tutorial.
I have 0 confidence that'll I'll be able to finish anything. And I'm not even one of those morons who's dreaming too big. I guess from my point of view, every dream is too big.
But hey, I'll see if I can go back to learning the engine this weekend. It sucks that we don't have tutorials for certain specific things that I'd like to use, ie fixed cameras. But that's part of the deal, figuring out how to implement that shit on your own.
Thx for reading my blog.
Also does anyone here knows how Godot fares with point and click games? I've been thinking of doing something like that, similar to Snatcher, but I have yet to see a Godot game like that.
Paralyzed by blank screen syndrome.
I got my autism ramblings broken down to the bare essentials to avoid idea bloat, but I have no idea where to start.
I just want to make my hoverboard racing game before sega remembers sonic riders is sitting in purgatory.
My game will stay where it belongs
INSIDE OF MY HEAD
3rd week stuck making camera rig and scripts. SpringArm3D seems like it causes problems in the long run.
I gave up.
I'm focused on art and story for now.
I'm slowly getting the hang of Blender and Aseprite
hmm not sure what my opinion on the high res texture and low poly can is here
He just needs to tick smooth shading
The models look nice but I'd definitely not use that lighting with them. High fidelity lighting with low fidelity assets just looks trashy.
hard disagree, as long as a style is consistent it can work.
Thanks. I'll probably go with simpler lighting once I put it in Godot unless fancy stuff looks better
You should use katamari as reference a lot of their objects are like this.
Looks pretty good man
I'm using SOULrce engine for my game. Will move to Flax engine if I cant make meaningful progress in the other one.
>godot
enjoy wading through fetish discords to get any documentation
Just spent 20 minutes screaming and pissing because I couldn't get something as simple as a camera to work.
Found out I just never marked it as current.
>Used Unity to make a game in the past, was fun
>Trying out Godot now, feels kinda unwieldy but getting the hang of it
>Suddenly get struck by inspiration to make a puzzle game like Puyo Puyo but with tetris-like shapes
Should I make it in Godot or Unity? This isn't even asking for advice as much as it is which one people think will be more fun to do.
It depends if you want to learn a new engine. That's a good way to start.
Thanks anons, I'll do it in Godot then.
How dare you.
Unfortunately I'm sure that the developers of Puyo Puyo Tetris probably tried the most literal interpretation of the idea and found it unfun. What I'm going for will be themed around something more specific which I think will make it more enjoyable.
Godot is arguably better for 2d anyway, and with the recent nosedive of unity corporate I think it would be reasonable to at least experiment to godot for such a small project like this.
Not even a question, Godot. Godot is literally a 2D engine that got 3D support, it's probably my favorite choice for any 2D game.
your lack of historic knowledge is baffling, godot was originally a 3d engine. it ended up primarily being used for 2d due to the low budgets and primitive hardware being targeted by the studios using it before it was released publicly.
Thanks for the idea gayala. Now I'm gonna be rich. 🙂
still learning, but i atleast have a direction i want to go to
It's not.
>like castlevania but slightly different
1 man army?
>no life army
If you are the dev an are a 1 man army, I might be interested in investing/providing some funding for a soundtrack or something
If hes a 1 man army he should be capable of writing his own music as well (like me)
Good for you, but you aren't him
But if I kill him I will become just like him
What resources did you use to learn music production? Seems the most difficult part of 1 man armying for me.
check out Ganker if you want some robust help, they're pretty good at directing newbies
I honestly just played with the keys until I learned about scales and now I just make sure the keys stay in the scale and i make chords that sound nice. I just do it all by ear.

Pretty good.
I'm him and I've got some funds set aside for that purpose, generous offer as it is
just listen to anything linked on vocaroo on here and you get a pretty quick idea of why you don't let 1MA do their own soundtracks
I like your work and how you think, I can easily see your work making good money.
What? You DON'T want anon's shop theme for your game?
>just listen to anything linked on vocaroo on here and you get a pretty quick idea of why you don't let 1MA do their own soundtracks
>>like castlevania
I will now buy your game, or I would if I knew what the frick it was called.
Can you give some insight into the mechanics? Like how the staff switches between abilities, time manipulation, the clone, etc...
I was using quickcast keys for the spells, but it has a radial menu
jump, attack, rewind and turbo have their own buttons
so like 5 main inputs with casting, but a few extra inputs for finer stuff (spell menu, double tap up/down for a dodge/lunge with iframes, crouch slides, climbing, open a map, etc etc). As long as "rewind" replaces "shield" for most games it avoids too much complexity
When do you intend to publicize the game and build a following for it if at all? Or maybe you already have idk. Also what have you worked on prior to this project?
game engine?

I'm on a great team but the artist is flaking.
You have to learn how to draw yourself. The artist will always flake. It's what they do.
Can confirm, artists are flaky motherfrickers. Learn to draw yourself and save yourself the heartache
But if you become an artist yourself then you'll start flaking on your own project.
And worse yet, you'll draw "ironic" art of Pomni getting railed
AI killing artists is a good thing ashkully
just wait until patreoBlack folk start flaking on their prompts
Human nature ensures humans become lazier the easier they have it
>AI kills artists
>AI kills musicians
>AI kills coders
>AI kills designers
now what motherfricker
Ideasguys inherit the Earth
At that point, there'll be no-one left to care about your ideas anymore, because everyone has their own. Everyone's going to get stuck in their own bubble, catered perfectly to their wishes.
>because everyone has their own
you'd be surprised
Then we pivot our games as organic based on a nebulous concept of "soul"
If I just met one, one artist who didn't break my heart I'd feel differently
I'll make music for your game anon
all that equals for more gooning time for them :^)
they are finally free
Bros, i've been thinking of learning how to animate in Unreal Engine. Do you think jobs will still exist for that field in 2-3 years, or will A.I have already cucked me?
Help anons, how do I get the red gradient effect on my textures like this. Do I seriously have to go into photoshop and do each texture? Theres gotta be an easier way.
colored lighting
I didnt think the N64 could handle that much lighting i thought that sort of thing was intensive?
oh I thought that was the gc game (I never played any paper mario games) so it was probably just editing the textures yeah
fricking hell it might really be, someone doing a texture pack and theres no ambient occlusion effects on the floor, if there was a shader or something it would have been there still. God damn thats so much work.
Non-shadowed directional lights are pretty cheap. I suspect N64 had access to something like that.
If I remember well the videos of that one autist completely rewriting Mario64's engine for max performance & quality, the N64 can handle up to 8 source of directional light, allowing to simulate point lights if you are willing to tweak the "directional light" value accordingly.
it's probably just vertex coloring which is super common in early 3d games that don't suck ass
vertex colors, colors that are baked into the model itself. pretty much ever n64/playstation game used it, only useful if you dont have dynamic lights but its essentially free processing wise
Writing is painfully slow. On the other hand, I have 2500 porn pictures for it made in koikatsu that after I finish the script I will shamelessly trace and touch up with AI.
>had an artist
>he flaked
>learned to draw myself
troof
you should have spent time learning how to draw other people and objects if you want to make a game, nobody wants to play as you
Can I be your artist?
It's completely the reason I didn't gamedev for years, I swear! I was learning to draw!
Turns out a proper desk and chair are vital to get actual work done
Programming when you program for a living is pretty lame. Maybe I should gun for a management position.
Honestly I love coding, I love making music, I love pretty much everything in game dev except for making fricking art. I really really hate the process and I dont know why. It also is unfortunately the most intensive part of the whole process and takes the longest to get good at relative to the rest of the skills. Even now Im procrastinating because Im supposed to do some practice today.
Work on your art. The more you do the better you get.
The thing is Ive gotten halfway decent but its still not fun and im wondering if it ever will
use AI, then lie about it so steam won't b& you

I abandoned my 2d platformer because I realized theyre fricking gay. Im instead working on a FOSS learning to read program for young children that will both a game and a free packet to print to teach your kids to read. I started this project after seeing there are functionally 0 free comprehensive phonics programs. Im nowhere near ready to show anything off but its something Im quite passionate about.
and yet about half of all indie games that make it big are 2d platformers
If I was trying to make it big, I probably shouldnt be makng FOSS software. Im chasing something more important than money or fame

I got a Godot question maybe someone can answer.
So rather than importing a model, you can use a .blend file and create a new inherited Scene, and it works flawlessly, and it is nice because any changes I make in blender instantly updates in godot. The issue is that I have a lot of bones in my control rig which could cost preformance, and all the bones are in the Inherited scene, and I can't seem to remove them from my inherent scene "Alert! Can't operate on nodes the current scene inherits from!". Is there any way around that or will I have to export and import the model like I would with Unity?
Nvm found it. I just add the suffix -noimp
How do I learn to design starships for my game? I have no trouble with characters or creatures but I suck at starships.
No solid colors, only detailing and high contrast stippling, tubes, geometric shapes with inlays
are you... female?
No?
Do as
suggested, organic ships are pretty kino.
>I have no trouble with characters or creatures but I suck at starships.
draw creatures, arthropods in particular, then make them spaceships
fine, figured out that godot wasn't baking my lightmaps because it was trying to bake too much (which is stupid since unity baked much worse brush levels for me in the past). going to give it a break and work on other stuff. in the meanwhile, ill probably sketch some enemy designs and get some design doc work done so i can have a better idea of what i want
Which games ITT were made with AI assets
all of them
Not telling you, sweetie. Enjoy your paranoia 🙂
Writing the script for it, branching paths are a b***h. I don't know if I want to cop out and do a linear story but that seems lame for a mostly VN adventure game.
Trying to figure out an interesting system for interrogations without just ripping off Ace Attorney's system of looking for contradictions.
Branching paths are so easy wtf are you on about
Also ape of ace attorney all you want, contradictions are not unique to gyakuten saiben
>branching paths are a b***h
you using switch statements?
I actually just meant writing them and coming up with alt endings or alternate paths lol
Write the main/intended route in a linear way, then go back and write the alternate paths. That way at least you'll feel like you are progressing the plot instead of being trapped forever writing different takes of the same day.
Upgraded the capacity of my deck, had to stop developing until I solved the reimaging conundrum, couldn't create a working image on linux, had to pull out my big girl, she was eager to say the least. Played some RDR2 on her, for research of course.

I have less time to work on my main project so I've been doing little things here and there for fun. Here's some PSP homebrew I made based off of a famous anon's game

PSP is one my most favorite consoles ever made. Seeing a port of the game is simply amazing...
Thank you so much!
Is Godot 4.x worth moving to over Godot 3.x? I see that Godot can't export to HTML probably, but it's only on some browsers and on Mac. Something with the reasoning that Godot is more modern and hip than browsers.
I've been using godot 4 for about 3 months after using 3.x for about a year.
It's an easy yes, imo.
3.X is obsolete garbage
It's going very well, content wise, it should only take 1-2 weeks to get all the remaining content I want in to be in. Then I get to wait and gather wishlists before releasing, and maybe updating one thing in the intro to be better. I think I already have an idea for another project once everything is set for launch.
stuck in 3.5, OpenGL is killing me.
Do you post in /agdg/ or just on Ganker?
i post in both
use a single thread for drawn calls which are very expensive, this heavily bottle necks the game and i have to decrease drawn calls all the damn time otherwise OpenGL frame rate drops like a hammer.
thanks
That's purty.
thanks
Yo that looks fun. What game?
I've learned C# for Unity years ago but my coding was shitty spaghetti code so I wanted to learn fresh the right way with Godot's GD Script. From what I understand however, C# is still a better language than Godots native one. Is that true or am I worrying about nothing?
C# is a bit faster yes, but you can generally do everything with GDscript and performance is still ok as long you don't make Yandere dev levels of bad code.
i use GDscript for everything until i find performance critical code and then convert that to C++, Godot supports C++ which is as fast you can get without getting to assembling/microcode homosexualry.
Good to know, much appreciated. With any luck I can work on a larger project and not get lost in my own 'just get it to work' code going forward.
How so? What's the problem with OpenGL?
Now that's very cool.
i set out to make a game.
during that process i realized i dont know what a game is
a series of actions or behaviors that can be performed over a prolonged period of time by a single person.
generally there would need to be motive to perform them, like if theyre fun.

>sculpting
I was looking for modelling, but I guess ill try, never really gave sculpting a fair chance
Not good, my placeholder character that I downloaded from mixamo was too small so I scaled it up by 100x. It worked fine until I started trying to parent stuff to bone sockets, it's had interesting consequences....
scale the other thing instead
Working on it, this is pretty fun actually. I'm going to include this type of anomaly in my game, makes things huge and float.

Are you guys making your game while NEETing or are you working a job in the meantime? I've been leeching off my parents hardcore for the past two years and it's starting to become a heavy burden on my conscience.
The avg age in Italy to move out of the home is 30. And it's higher in some other countries. But the moveout age overall has dramatically increased because of all the darkness everyone's been freaking out about for several years now. Hell, the most common theme for adults now seems to be getting their parents moved in with them once they're too old to be assed. Being a neet is no excuse though. Learn yourself a skill. Apply yourself. Stop being lazy.
in non-western countries families all live with each other until children get married and don't move out, if they don't
making in gamemaker for christmas, i try atleast
>slopes
You're doing well
wish i could switch to 4 but im too deep now
Vulkan is a meme anyways.
By the time you finish your game, Godot will probably be on 5.0 anyways and you can switch to that for your next project.
it's mostly tiles qol that id like in 3
and better performing gdscript
either make the jump as soon as 4.2 is out or just stay in 3.X and forget about it
The Tiled program is still better then using Godot's tile implementation, even in 4.1. There's an importer for Tiled that works in 3.5.
Is there a godot game library I can browse to inspire myself to use the tool?

it's almost sad he is how he is because I never followed the project at all but one his pedo shit was exposed I looked up the game and I really love that snap animation he did with shards and glass cracking. He sure had some good ideas and despite all the ridicule he "suffered" could have probably made a game worth taking at least a look at
Underspace should be pretty high on that list, but maybe I'm biased because he is from here.
he is not working on it alone so doesn't count
shouldn't have been a pedo, his fault being a pos
>he is not working on it alone
Ah, my bad.
His problem wasn't being a pedo, but being a virgin who sperged out at the first signs of female attention towards him.
but like, the entire point of the game is that its pedo shit, and anyone acts surprised when finding out he's a sexual deviant?
it would be like the guy who made columbine RPG getting canceled for making politically incorrect statements
>but like, the entire point of the game is that its pedo shit
>highschool girl romance with highschool boy
>pedoshit
R*ddit is two blocks down.
why was he banned on all platforms before that anyway? Like his game was forbidden on twitch and shit. I never played it did it have sexual content?
>Like his game was forbidden on twitch and shit. I never played it did it have sexual content?
It's a game about murdering other schoolgirls in gruesome and/or stupid ways without getting caught.
Even if it was done in silly animu style and just following classic tropes, it didn't need anything sexual for most platforms to not want to be associated with it.
sane people would have chosen an office setting or at least university not fricking high school with only girls
Yandere *are* mostly an highschool trope tho.
Not that they never get written in settings with older people, but most of it rely on the character being a dumb teenager that can't handle her first burst of hormones nor handle proper social interactions.
I have 50 3d models to make... Then it will look somewhat presentable. Why did I go for a unique setting where no premade store assets come close? moronation perhaps.

I gave up over a decade ago. I was bankrolling a ww1 game with my personal income and later crypto earnings. But things just didn’t work out.
The release date was scheduled on July 31st 2014. The centenary of the Great War. But not only would we have not made the deadline. We had nothing to show after nearly two years in development. A single unfinished map. With missing textures. And assets ripped from other games. The devs I hired were completely inexperienced. The game was just not shaping up properly.
Sad really. I had some grand plans too. It was very ambitious. Over two dozen factions represented. America, The British Empire(with all its dominions), France, Germany, Russia, AustriaHungary, The Ottomans, Italy, Japan, Serbia, Greece, MonteBlack, Belgium, Portugal, Bulgaria, the Arab states, and so many more that I’ve forgotten. I had plans for hundreds of unlocks. That included weapons, (requestable)vehicles and attachments. Worldwide theaters of war. From the trenches of Western Europe, to the open fields of the Eastern front. The sands of Arabia to the shores of Gallipoli. The jungles of Africa to the Alpine mountains. The oceans of the Pacific to the coasts of Asia.
But alas. I was a fool and wasted my money. I spent over $100,000 by the time I pulled the project. I know I got scammed. And that is why I learned not to trust online and offshore companies. I truly believed that I could crank out a triple A experience on the cheap. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. I didn’t even want to charge money for it. I just wanted to make the definitive World War 1 experience.
Also I had plans for single player. I wanted to play as historical figures of note. One of those people would have been Private Adolf Hitler in the German campaign.
>. I wanted to play as historical figures of note. One of those people would have been Private Adolf Hitler in the German campaign.
Should start with that. But don't reveal the name, start him with more facial hair, grimy trench warfare etc, then when you reach the gas mask section, he shaves it to the classic tooth brush moustache before putting on the mask.
*As in, restart dev on your own as a small gamejam sized slice of ww1
Actually I had it all planned out. You would start off as a silent protagonist in the German recruitment office. After giving up a letter from the Kaiser allowing you to enlist in spite of your austrian citizenship. The recruiter would shake your hand and welcome you to the Deutches Heer and refer to you as Herr Hitler. I wanted you to know who you were playing from the very get to. Of course you would relive many of hitler’s moments from his life during that time. The gas attack. The artillery bombardments. The running messages back and forth between the trenches. And occasionally you would get to play as secondary protagonist Manfred Von Richthofen aka the Red Baron in the sky above the trenches. With even more mainline missions being broken up and punctuated as tertiary protagonists took over, like a fireman who’s using the worlds first flamethrowers in the trenches and as a submarine captain hunting cargo ships in the pacific. Eventually as the submarine captain the final mission would be sinking the Lusitania. And as the Red Baron after you were shot down. You’d play as Hermann Goring.
Oh wow it’s been ten years now. I can’t believe I remembered all that. It’s like it’s permanently stored in my mind.
I have zero talent or skill in computers. I was just bankrolling the whole project myself. I don’t think people would trust a complete technologically inept moron like me with their money. Also the world has gotten a lot more political now. Any attempt at portraying hitler in an unbiased and analytical light before all the national socialist stuff; would cause great controversy. And liable my project and person to character assassination and harassment.
Honestly if I had the money. I’d do it! I’d work on it in secret and not tell people the contents of the single player experience. I’d wait for them to figure it out on their own.
Maybe ai can work for you in a few years. Sounds like a cool project.
Many people joke about making porn games but only a handful of devs can make a solid product that isn't a 3D slop with atrocious aesthetics.
