What are some old / obscure devs or games that you remember?
Jose Gonzalez
2nd for godot is a better gms and unity (for 2d)
Landon Moore
3D too (soon)
Gavin Peterson
hopoo
Jose Barnes
3.0 wait is killing me. I just want the alpha already.
Kevin Smith
>calls himself a game dev >keeps coming back to agdg >year after year >still has never made a game Explain?
James Lewis
the alpha already exists with nightly builds
Kayden Gomez
half ded
Andrew Ortiz
engine dev takes a bit
Daniel Wood
>no documentation >slapped by two starving argentinian coders >"fix it yourself" model a la linux
nah
Bentley Turner
That's a pre-alpha.
Bentley Turner
Where do I find someone to do some sketches for me
Lincoln White
I don't know how to finish a project.
I already read a couple of C++ tutorials and Bjarne's book but that doesn't really help.
also I can't draw, my math skill is higher than my drawing skill and I only know math at a highschool senior level.
Asher Morris
Unity is the best game development engine.
Ryan Perez
Are there any nightly builds that are up to date? The only one I know of is fixnum.org/godot/ But the last build was 10 days ago. There's been some updates in the last couple days I want to play with.
Owen Ross
Reply to this post with one idea, character, or item and I will add it to my game.
Zachary Edwards
>needing documentation when you can look at classes and they switched to the full name convention nigga, all you need is be familiar with 2.1
Ryder Wood
A talking penis.
Joseph Adams
working PS4 emulator as an ingame minigame
Landon Davis
Peter Molyneux
Eli Peterson
Gun that shoots bees
Justin Smith
already mentioned
Nicholas Hughes
>no documentation Maybe a year ago. >slapped by two starving argentinian coders Maybe 3 years ago. >"fix it yourself" model a la linux Nope. Just because it's open source doesn't mean it's "fix it yourself". If there's an issue you can report the problem to get fixed. The engine is 100% usable without any C++ knowledge.
Adrian Fisher
Which engines are the best and worst for custom physics?
Wyatt Robinson
Bees with guns that shoot bees
Blake Adams
So did rotatedev finally give up on his alterego and that shitty red pixel cape thing after getting found out again?

Jose Young
Godot is GMS for people who think saying you make games with an engine called Game Maker is embarassing, despite being the engine used to make great indie vidya over the past few years
the ONLY thing it has over GMS besides using a real programming language is the name, and only oversensitive, insecure faggots care about that shit
Jacob White
>baiting Voldemort
Kayden Phillips
An attempt was made at copying a gait cycle. Art quality aside, the motion is more convincing. Thanks!
John Green
Cute pixel guy.
Logan Taylor
I used GM for a long time and I can tell you that Godot is superior in every conceivable way. "Godot is a meme" is a meme.
Robert Ortiz
*its
Landon Cook
Thief but sci-fi!
Ian James
A shota who has had his brain swapped with a male bee.
Easton Allen
putt putt saves the zoo
Leo Lee
She is clear about presenting as female so there is no need to be ambiguous about it.
Levi Smith
> A phrase that I, to this day still fear. This needs either zero commas or two, "to this day still fear" does not stand on it's own.
Wyatt Hughes
I use Godot because it's open source, royalty free, and I can make custom C++ modules to compensate for GDscript's shortcomings. Not for any of the gay reasons you listed.
Kayden Bailey
well done user!
this is still garbage from a technical artistic standpoint, but it has a certain charm. it's a local maximum: try too hard to make good art and you fail, but aim for an ironically bad style like this and people will like it
i would play a game in this style and enjoy it
Bentley Jenkins
*It is clear about presenting as female
Juan Johnson
a lynched nigger with a sign around her neck that clearly reads "I as the developer HATE niggers, spics, jews, transvestites, and gays and I sincerely don't want you deplorable half-human shitstains playing or buying my game. You should all be purged WHITE POWER!"
Christian King
godot will remain nothing but a meme until there are actually good games out of it - unity has them, ue has them, even gamemaker has them, godot has shovelware from its parent developers at best on /agdg/ there's at least twice the people shitposting about godot's superiority than those who actually use it to make games and post progress the only thing you can do to change this is make the fucking game
Samuel Flores
Aware of that, the problem is that I need the pause after I.
>A phrase that I >*move away from the mic to breathe in* >to this day still fear
Could possibly change the sentence altogether, but it's the best I got right now.
David Cooper
Messing around with enemy placements. You guys are gonna play my game r-right?
I don't care about the name, "Game Maker" always sounded straightforward and to-the-point to me
>great indie vidya true, but that's really due to certain strengths (pixels are the units of the coordinate system, etc.) and despite various flaws/inconsistencies/hacky implementations. Maybe they fixed some of that in GMS 2, I dunno
also GMS's business model of selling exporters separately is shit
this desu, plus I really like the node tree and its concept of scenes
Dominic Harris
Yeah, this is true. Kind of unfortunate it has to be this way when the engine is already pretty proven. But few people will take it seriously until there's a hugely popular game made on it.
Ethan Hernandez
Sounds like bokudev
Tyler Taylor
>You guys are gonna play my game r-right? Give link
Nathaniel Powell
Yeah, that's just the way it is. It doesn't matter much anyway, since I like godot and I can keep using it regardless of what its reputation is
Kevin Kelly
The problem is deeper than that. Every comma does a pause in the text, if you'd read the correct sentence (with 2 commas) you'd pause only (or at least longer) before the first one. The code can't handle same symbols with different pause durations atm and would pause the same amount on both, resulting in the equivalent of "that I ... to this day ... still fear".
Benjamin Hill
just add two commas,, nobody will notice
Jacob Martinez
Ohhhh, you're doing this with text to speech? Neat.
Isaiah Ramirez
I hope you're baiting.
Godot is open source, gamemaker is not. Godot runs NATIVELY on linux, gamemaker doesn't, at all. See a problem in gamemaker? Go tell daddy yoyo to fix it and hope that at least 500 people saw the problem AND that yoyo gives a fuck about it. Wanna do 3D? good luck son.
Fuck off now please
Samuel Young
Fine, I'll do it properly and add code to support per symbol durations. Double comma hurts to even think about on a resolution of that size.
The pauses are time before the next character is printed, no more. Sorry to disappoint.
Noah Evans
>on linux If you're trying to make a game on Linx you're doing something very, very wrong.
Logan Powell
Not true in the slightest. You can always export to other platforms.
Leo Evans
why?
Carson Hernandez
GMS is proprietary software. It's not good.
Godot is open source, so if a bug comes up, or you want to implement something on an engine-level, you can do it yourself, or download improvements others have made.
GMS you also have to pay Yoyo if you make any money. Godot is under a MIT license so you're free to do whatever you want for it.
Godot will most likely kill GMS once it garners enough tutorials online. Godot's 3D is also pretty good, and it'll start to rival unity, especially since Unity's built in physics and shit are so terrible.
Cooper Brown
Prepare to get (You)'d to death, motherfucker
John Watson
Delaware, New Mexico, or Wyoming? >for a solo dev
Julian Moore
> tfw initially wanted to start devving in godot but fell for gamemaker meme i''ll consider switching after i finish the game
Kayden James
Wyoming is probably cheap, but good luck getting a job and not being depressed. If you dev full time you could be okay I guess.
Adam Gray
>GMS you also have to pay Yoyo if you make any money. since when
Wyatt Peterson
user was asking which state to register his LLC in for maximum tax benefit.
Jackson Campbell
I live in New Mexico, it's pretty nice weather, seems as good as anyplace to solo dev. Are you thinking Albuquerque or someplace else?
Ethan James
>he thinks anons actually use linux kek Maybe the tryhards with actual autism.
Camden Brown
Thanks for the push.
Jose Thomas
Excuse my autism.
Once you learn to properly utilize linux, it's hard to go back desu. It's like baking your own bread.
Leo Edwards
System shock predates Thief you nerd.
Ryder Rodriguez
It's the entire business model.
Ayden Cooper
For shits and giggles I made a simple AI that aggressively pursues the first ship it meets and charges towards it in a berserk rage. I warped into a system where a ship just like mine happened to spawn, and we killed each other.
Connor Reed
I'm thinking about registering an LLC in one of those states, since they are supposed to be the ones with lowest annual taxes/fees.
Adam Bennett
>implying I haven't used linux before Another delusion of linux users. You think people only use Windows because they don't know better or something.
Linux is fucking garbage for anything outside of webdev or vanilla software development.
Henry Long
That's just, like, your opinion man
Wyatt Wright
entire business model of yoyo is paying an unhealthy fuckload of money for dumb modules and that was about it for gm:s1 you pay yoyo nothing from your sales so i am asking if they changed anything with gm:s2
Oliver King
About 25% of my itch downloads were for the Linux version (0% for OSX). Sure Windows has a much bigger audience but if your engine allows Linux export then there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't use it. Linux users are also much more likely to donate and such since it's so rare to find good Linux games, it's stupid how often devs forget to do builds for other systems even though their engines easily allow it.
Isaac Sanchez
System Shock isn't about stealing. ;)
Jason Gomez
Yeah because it's so easy to have 3 OS installed on your machine
Samuel Cook
Just use VMware or Virtualbox and test your linux port on it. Unless your game is 3D and resource intensive that should be enough.
Joshua Sullivan
>About 25% of my itch downloads were for the Linux version That's because the majority of "people" downloading your pedoshit are from Veeky Forums.
Jordan Perry
I think that it rolls nicer without the pause, or with a pause after the second comma.
Also I think it would technically be "a phrase which" instead of "a phrase that".
Jaxon Smith
Not that user, but I don't even test other OSes, I just export the games to each OS and test the Windows build. I've never run into any OS specific bugs that would require me to use another OS. I don't even think that would be possible without it being a bug in the engine itself.
Grayson Bennett
Get off /agdg/ and back to AGDG, burqueño.
Joseph Martin
>Yeah because it's so easy to have 3 OS installed on your machine
It is, though. For a gamedev that should be a piece of cake.
Connor Sanders
You're seriously underestimating the number of people who unironically use Linux and nothing else. Just check the steam reviews for any semi-decent 2D game with a linux port. They're not just Veeky Forums memers.
Blake Johnson
>pedoshit what did he meme by this
I don't even use Linux but I'm more than happy to increase my audience, I will probably be learning and installing it too just for testing since the Linux audience has been so receptive.
Joseph Reed
So the fuck what? In any overlap between what System Shock and Thief attempt to do, System Shock's attempt at it is dogshit by comparison.
Alexander Roberts
>You're seriously underestimating the number of people who unironically use Linux and nothing else. No. You're pushing a fantasy that isn't supported by facts. Just another habit of linux users that make them look even worse as underdogs who can't admit where they lie in the userbase.
Jaxson Turner
Ok which of you faggots was this?
Oliver Watson
>WAAAAH I HATE PEOPLE WHO USE THIS PARTICULAR OPERATING SYSTEM PLAYING MY NONEXISTENT GAME Getting all political over something as simple as supporting other operating systems is the classic mark of a nodev.
Caleb Davis
Half Bomb Half Box
Think about it, user
Not box, not bomb, but something different
Jason Watson
>Not Bombox really
Oliver Roberts
this game and your company have really bad seo
Jaxson Rogers
>you can't even find it by typing "Dogma Bombx" fucking hell
Nathaniel Bennett
Ok, so let's break it down:
A OSX machine is fucking expensive. I don't know where you guys live but here I would rather buy a motorcycle with that amount of money. Unless you try a hackintosh, but probably isn't a good idea. For that to work, you will need to partition your machine. It's always kind of annoying when Linux install fucking Grub. Also, every OS takes at least 30GB of space nowadays. If you have 1TB of more, good for you. If you are using a SSD card like me, not a good idea.
You will need a powerful machine for that. Even a simple 3D game will require some GPU memory and if the one you have is not that good, both your OS and the one in the virtual machine will be slow as fuck. But if you game is that simple, why not go for WebGL?
Probably what a lot of people do but not that wise. I know Unity, Unreal & family does the heavy lifting but something unexpected can happen you have no way to fix it.
