Is this what philosophers mean by the human condition?

Skill issue. At least you can use AI now, be grateful.
with money you can pay people to make stuff you want
I wonder why a porn addict can't seem to make anything good
>tfw I can and do both
Shoulda used Game Maker instead of a rushed, poorly thought out gimmick engine with 7,932 known bugs as of writing this post. I'm not exaggerating, that's the actual number.
>Gay Maker
It hurts to see
This goober has been around for like 16 years at this point and still has no game
game maker is israeli trash subscription troony shit
not paying for a israeli subscription to make games
>mf thinks github "issues" mean "bugs"
stfu
>thought mastering art skills and being able to draw your own wife would be worth it
>unable to do it because it's like jacking off to your own daughter
Skill issue.
I have zero problem beating off to my 3d models.
How so? I've been jacking off to imaginary scenarios of my original characters since I was 10, I can't imagine I'd suddenly feel different if I drew them
i want to make a game so bad but i cant stand coding bros. Is there some way to make me enjoy it? Im not even doing anything crazy i just want to make a cookie clicker tier game
Plenty of engines dont require coding at all. If you want a simple 2D game try Clickteam Fusion
it looks like it might work, but why is it so expensive?
I would guess it's because it does the work for you.
it's not that bad at least you actually own it, unlike game maker
I'm the opposite. Great at programming but don't know about art.
> I want to make a game so bad but i cant stand coding bros
As someone who likes coding, if you didn't immediately find yourself enjoying it when doing basic shit like getting stuff to move around on the screen and seeing what you can do with that, you probably never will, because it only becomes more frustrating the more complex the stuff you're dealing with is. In which case you'll want to find someone else to do the hard work for you, because you'd not getting anything significant done otherwise.
Like what other skills do you like using?
GDevelop
in like 10 years you'll be able to make an entire game from a few prompts thanks to AI
in the case of cookie clicker you can already do that
i want to make code so bad but i cant stand making a game bros. Is there some way to make me enjoy it? Im not even doing anything crazy i just want to make a good code base
If you can make decent art and assets, you can get a coder. If you can't then why are you trying to make a video game if you don't like any aspect of it
>Can't make my own vidya good enough to have fun with

If you can't even use something made for kids, you may be a lost cause.
>Can't draw my own porn good enough to jerk off to.
Your standards are too high if you can't jerk off too crude drawings that get the point across.
>game idea is far too ambitious
>not the least bit interested in this idea being peddled about making "bite-sized" waste of time projects
>no money to pay other people to do art
shit sucks
Do one part at a time. For example make a game that is just your dream game's battle system with nothing else. Then if you succeed at that make a single area characters can move in outside of battle. Then make a town, etc. Start with part of your game that could somewhat function standalone and then just keep stepping back to a wider picture
hm yeah not a bad idea. i think a combination of that and just having a physical piece(s) of paper with an outline of every facet of my game laid out in an organized fashion might be good. thanks for replying
I get this. Anything I can imagine making that's any good quickly gets too out of control no matter how I try to keep it simple and becomes something I know I'd never finish
I have a very vivid imagination and its deeply satisfied when I imagine playing the game that I want to make. Just sitting and visualizing everything in my head gives me more enjoyment than playing other video games. Sometimes I will do this for hours. But this is very bothersome. I've spent the past five years working every day building games. I am sitting on six nearly finished games but none of them match exactly what I envision so I scrapped them. I've been working on the most recent iteration for about a month and I'm just going to bite the bullet and release something.
Just create more slop like this https://store.steampowered.com/app/2218750/Halls_of_Torment/ then do whatever you want with the skill and profits from there, it's even made in Godot
>want to make an RPG because those are my favorite games to play
>I have no clue how the FRICK people come up with RPG stat systems and how they determine what stats characters/enemies have
Guess i'm too moronic
start by thinking about what you want to actually happen.
i.e. how many turns/actions it should take to kill enemies or have them kill you
think about how tight you want to make 'optimal' play
think about how much you want to encourage buffs/gear/etc
make systems to fit that curve
just don't do stupid shit like where damage = attack - defense so that if you miscalibrate either one you quickly get way the frick out of line
>want to make an RPG because those are my favorite games to play
>Doesn't understand that RPG stat systems are themselves fundamentally moronic and things that any problems with can be overcome by grinding
It's all legitimately "numbers go up bigger and that makes thing betterer". There might be some scaling equation that makes things somewhat exponential, but you can just look up how existing games calculate things if you just want to copy them. The genre isn't something where carefully designed balance matters or which anyone cares about in the first place, Pokemon aside.
It's called stealing systems from TTRPG's and making slight changes so you don't get sued.
Why not just hoping your game gets fanart
If he can't make a game that's fun or sexy enough for himself, how can he hope to inspire that feeling in others? Nobody is going to care enough to make fanart of some indie game that can't stand out.
you fear you end up with something like this?
whos the most rapeable?
>I have an idea
>I'm actually so confident it would work and be fun

I don't get it
post you're game
kys phone poster
I'm disappointed. I was genuinely hoping your one man gamedev met with success and I could play the result. But I guess real devs don't greentext on Ganker
I just started last month, frick off with your doom posting
Devs that succeed get shitposted off Ganker by crabs in bucket anyway.
The Dev for Cruelty squad IS a solo dev and he made it in godot. Every line of dialogue is just Ganker lingo twisted around. He posted it constantly until some autistic discord trannies got mad and now his threads get shitposted to death
So play Cruelty Squad if you want a solo dev experience. Or LISA OR undertale. both are made by anons. Yes Toby Fox browsed Ganker.
It took you an entire month to get a cube to move around? holy frick lmao
How skilled of an artist do you need?
Only myself, I can't quantify my own skill, but that's what I'm using.
I'm looking at blender tutorials and then I'm going to take the art I find on pinterest as references for my levels.
if you are focused on masterbating and gaming you are not focused on making games and drawing porn.
also, after learning how to do something, that thing loses its "magic".
I feel completely unfulfilled by my job so I was thinking I would try making a game and see if that feels fulfilling.
I'm just incapable of doing art, been like this forever. It's a weird perfectionist thing. When they made me take art classes in middle school I used to just not draw anything because I was too paralyzed to start. Now I sit and don't actually model anything in blender.
>I'm primarily a programmer
what IDEs do you like?
I've tried many over the years and I keep coming back to Visual Studio (not VSCode) and for quickly editing things Vi/Vim
forgot to mention I primarily use C++ with a self made engine. When I program in other languages e.g Python, JavaScript or PHP I use VSCode nowadays.
what apis are good to make an engine?
I don't know what you mean with apis, but for creating a engine it depends on your usecase. For example for a "simple" 2D game engine you could go with a plethora of libraries ranging from SDL to SFML and Box2D with either Vulkan/DirectX or OpenGL.
