Those games look like shit though

And your game doesn't?

How can people make such visually unappealing games and earn that much money / month?

Seriously I don't get normies.

You have to rip off something if you want to scam money from people. Say you're making a Dark Souls or TLOU clone and that you need money to finish it

Probably that, and finding algorithms that can accurately judge the state of the game and are fast.

Is this guy Googum's less successful brother? I didn't even know that was possible.

I never said I believe I can do the same myself, I'm just very envious and do think there are some things to take away from it.

I just really love seeing wonderfully executed things.

His backer rewards amount to, I put your name on stuff you have no interest in. He almost exclusively makes ludum dare games that have almost no future outside of the ludum.

It's not a very enticing patreon, there are patreons of even more worthless content that at least promises more and therefore gets money.

Is there a reason my TextureFrame isn't getting called? A different TextureFrame I have works just fine.

I agree, a brief look at his page and he is a public speaker at events. Even wearing a white collar shirt on his profile.

Sometimes you need to look a bit pathetic for some sympathy.

>30 games
2 of them are minesweepers though

Why doesn't this work?
this->SetRotation(MathUtil::ToDegrees(MathUtil::VectorDeltaAngle(Direction,Vector2::UnitX)));

Hey guys so I've been using tiled map editor and made a bunch of sprites, is there an easy way to combine all my 64x64 sprites into a single image to create a tile set? For some reason Tiled requires this but doesn't provide a way of creating it. Should I use a different program to create my 2D maps or is there a program to do this?

>patreon.com/Reepyr?ty=h

this guy is getting $2700 per month to make this. I'm out of words.

these are all stock art assets.

well what do you want it to do and whats going wrong?

I my sprite to point in. The direction is a unit vector.
I haven't found a "point at vector" type function.
So I decided to take the angle between UnitX and my vector. Which I thought would give me Values in the range of pi to -pi.
But now considering it more deeply should I just multiply what I get back by 2 and have it work?
Webm is just me holding down A (turn right).

Nvm found a AngleFromVector function.
I really should learn linear algebra though.

Hello friends

Yeah man it would help a lot

also holy shit just found how there is a small drop down object to create a tile set from a collection of images instead of one per image

WHY THE FUCK ISN'T THAT THE DEFAULT

people who pay for porn will pay for anything

>2 days 15 hours 15 minutes
Are you going to make it?

>finishes 30 games
finishing a tutorial does not count as finishing a game

the 420chan agdg is moderated surprisingly well desu, NoDev/Source shitposting has been getting banned and deleted several times a day

boards.420chan.org/vg/res/664016.php

If I pull an all nighter

2D or 3D

Stop advertising here retard, nobody cares for your shitty chan that doesn't even have a catalog.

>normies
>funding adult video games
pick one

Yeah sure boards.420chan.org/vg/res/664016.php#669070
3 days ago and still not moderated? What happened to your """haven"""?

Stop shilling your stupidly slow board.

how hard is it to make a very basic RTS?

>he wants agdg to be heavily moderated

Shitposting is a time honored tradition here

Non-normies wouldn't waste their money on some horribly looking porn-game when they could simply download Japanese ones for free. Come on user. Of course only mentally limited people would fund those games.

Lol 420 amirite xD

Fuck off

How to not switch projects constantly?

its about the story breh

>boards.420chan.org/vg/res/664016.php

you were saying?

Is asking for input after every sentence bit too much?

>420chan

now when you say basic...

I'd suggest having a look at the source of 0 AD.
it's an open source RTS, it may give you some perspective on the potential complexity. If you check the source and are not intimidated then by all means proceed.

play0ad.com/

I doubt his games are finished.

I'd spew out the whole paragraph a once, then ask for input.

that dude was banned a few posts later

I think it's fine. Good job with the progress user, keep it up.

that monster girl island guy is making ten grand a month and basically you are fucking stupid

Have your text print in relevant chunks. If you're intending for a slightly dramatic pause give it a slightly dramatic pause by having the player press a button.

Personally I think the best system is just to have pressing buttons speed it up. Letting the text phase itself entirely unless the player is in a rush..

Why are you such a bitter person

I hope you realize that you get banned for doing the same thing here.

That Veeky Forums -> "the future" wordfilter is pretty amusing to boot

back to the future

by my experience normies watch lame regular porn (brazers etc) they don't play porn video games

Banned for this?
Are these 420 dudes located in Afghanistan?

Share pixel art tutorials.

at least mods don't use ironic shitposting faces here

>brazzers
>fake breasts, fake tans, tattoos and piercings everywhere
>people actually fap to this shit

Even worse, Canada

Kinda dig that bans show who did it so you know who to shit on later if they're awful at their job

i know right? at least the meme is good

I prefer that too, but if that is available and you aren't pressing anything - should the prompts stay as they are?

Come on guys! I told you it's cool here, we get tones of progress and even have our own Arikado! look!

I meant using the myriad gamedev engines.

>Snake city building.
Even Revengedev is a better shitposter than that.

>You're supposed to be making a boss fight for demo day
>But you're playing Overwatch

Uh Oh

That's actually a good idea.
Like people are inside the snek and need to survive by creating a city. Like it's an old routine, the city being destroyed every 100 years when it becomes too big and the snek puke it out.

EU?

...

i went there and this popped up

what the fuck is a stank token

Of course.

>what the fuck is a stank token
Adult-swim stoner tier humor.

Also how do I get Gogem to notice me?

I want to create something like this in Godot. Can I do this using one of the built in shapes, or do I just need to use a texture?

Just use a texture

by posting progress. Dont expect any constructive feedback though.

>Also how do I get Gogem to notice me?
post smears

that gui

Talk about smears being good or how realistic art looks good

Am I the only one that doesn't like the angled text?

What happened to that who was going to commit suicide because a shit-poster attacked him? is he alright? or did he actually do it?
I'm curious because I wanted to do art for him, However, he never responded to my contact information.

Did you guys really get another person to off themselves?

it would be ok if it was placed around the character and not on top of them

>how do I get Gogem to notice me?
here's your (you)

link me to your animu art

Game looks incredibly well polished. I too am jealous.

>check the thread
>no trace of source posting

Wow, they actually deleted all the shitposts.

...

>tfw "no drop in, drop out" collab

Why haven't you started a patreon yet?

You seem to have some kind of following even if it's partially ironic.

Can I use the unreal engine to create visually simple games?
stuff that won't make computers explode.

this UI is cool but it seems like theres way too much of it, you'd think they were making a gogem GUI game with how much UI they shove on screen.
better to think of how you can have less in my opinion.

The games people pay for don't, at least not like htis. ANd I'd recommend taking your creepy face off the page

UE4 is made to make computers explode in exchange for nice graphics.
Use unity instead.

you guys are serious right.

pls, I just want to make a fun game.

You can make anything you want senpai. It's your game

All I want to do is create an unholy mix of total war and Close combat. I have the gameplay ideas down to a T, but my coding skills are of a nutless monkey.

/agdg/ pls help.

Post your game/blog and I'll let you know if I'm interest in collab. Don't be shy! I've worked on some really lame projects before

Although, I do have one flaw though, so be warned: that I am a pretty attractive 8/10 passable turkish tranny who isn't camera shy, and usually end up flirting with the coder and making them really uncomfortable. They usually are the ones to flake out on me first
