A two-week long vacation without a laptop made me really think about what's fun and what's not about my game. I will be chopping some features (like being able to decide where things will be built) for other features (like characters on outpost screen having an AI, interacting with things and moving around). I'm also changing the aspect ratio of the whole things for easier exporting the game to mobile devices.

A phoenix-wright style adventure game where you try to demoralize and insult indie game developers online until they have nervous breakdowns or give up on their projects or kill themselves. You leave cruel feedback on their projects and exploit any flaws they try to cover up and hide, point out their lack of innovation or awful graphics and try to figure out exactly what will trigger them the most. You start off merely as an internet troll and grow to a critical and eventually get a show and column of your own.

Temporary new background for DDX, engine's gonna get an overhaul so new art to make once I plan the level layout.
Is it ok to take a "break day" anons? I feel guilty for not working on it today. I am stuck on a problem that is really straining my brain right now, I feel like I need to come back at it later when I'm in a different mind set.

Fuck, is there any video series/tutorial guide for gamemaker? I want to learn shit but I don't feel confident enough starting on a solo project just yet.
Christopher Martinez
And character design for my possible Lewd Jam game. Haven't decided what I'm gonna make yet.
Jose Cook
Looks like the only option available to me the first pass was "expand appearance", and that I had to then go back and use the then-ungreyed "expand" button. Neat, I'm figuring stuff out If only I could figure out quick ways to mathematically place stuff now
Julian Foster
A Phoenix Wright-style adventure game where you play as the prosecutor.
How is it a game jam if you announce the theme super early and give people a bunch of time to start working on it?
Isn't this all just an excuse to motivate you retards to make your shitty porn games?
Jackson Robinson
How is heartbeast insufferable? I would give his series another shot because it really helped me out a lot and his tutorials are well structured and organized. Also hes literally a perfect pure mormon god and the voice cracks are funny because its his one flaw and theres nothing he can do about it and you can tell hes probly really self concious about it.
Landon Barnes
Holy shit looks nice
Jose Rodriguez
wouldn't even call lewd jam a jam it's like 2 weeks long and most have started already
just submit a damn lewd game
Brandon Roberts
>How is it a game jam if you announce the theme super early and give people a bunch of time to start working on it? Don't ask me. AGDG game jams always had a theme announced before the jam starts, it's not a competition.
Jace Allen
Forget normie jam, just post it here when you're done
Grayson Adams
i can already fap to it yeah and only get the people who are browsing the thread at the time to play it, great idea
Logan Lewis
Probably ok
Aiden Martinez
Amazing. I have never seen anything quite like this. Bravo!
Jacob Scott
Uh yeah, that's the point of AGDG jams. Which this one isn't.
Hunter Butler
I don't mean insufferable as in "fuck, this guy is annoying", I mean it as in "I can't suffer through this because it's physically painful". I'm using an ATH-M40x and every time his voice cracks it hurts my ears and completely ruins any concentration or flow I have. I cannot do another 15 episodes of this.
Is Unity 3D really worth it considering the performance problems?
Bentley Collins
do you browse /agdg/ 24/7 or something
Christopher Rivera
Unless you need an intense amout of physics, Unity is usually ok. The engine has come a long way, despite the maymays.
Dylan Young
lol, holy shit, my sides.
Julian Turner
pyxel edit is like the exact same program, don't know if it's open source though
Bentley Miller
Why wouldn't anyone do that? Or check the archives?
Samuel Torres
Like?
It's not the fastest engine, but what in particular do you think is wrong with it? Is it the 3.5 mono version?
Carson Brooks
this isn't a laughing manner user i NEED to GAMEDEV.
respond with at least 12 tutorial links.
Luke Sanders
That's now how GPL works. People can still use the previous forks of Aseprite. Even if they're not going to be maintained.
Joshua Sanchez
No it isn't, pyxel edit is far worse than aesprite.
Xavier Richardson
>what do I use now The previous versions that are still fully functional.
Thomas Gomez
If you read the link you would see you could still compile it for yourself, so he's clearly saying that because of an ideological problem.
James Phillips
looks like a mobile game already
Hudson Watson
Lol i dunno man, there are a lot of tutorials out there. Maybe mute it and use captioning or pirate his book. For me its his greeting thats more annoying than anything.
Landon Stewart
not him but heartbeast just rubs me the wrong way, he's a good looking chad that's confident enough to sit in front a camera and sell good goy gamedev noobs basic shit.
i don't even know if the guy has made an actual game because all i see out of him are tutorials and ebooks. he's no different than all the other youtubers like those guys selling vegan diet books and stuff.
Robert Powell
This is the GPL fork of asprite. It just needs a new maintainer.
FPS counter, now with: - Multiline text - An automatically converted font instead of a hand-crafted one - Several rendering bugs fixed
Liam Parker
yes it is, only noDevs care for the meemees
Mason Barnes
are you making some next gen shit? if not any performance problems you encounter will be 99% your own doing
Jack Lewis
Yeah hes a really vanilla basic guy cause he was raised mormon, which is why his game grain war is pretty bland and uninspired looking. I really like his tutorials since im really new to this. Also for the guy who was asking, try reading the gml documentation itself and see what you can do with it.
Adam Garcia
don't break. work on something else
Christopher Campbell
100% honesty: Unreal and GameMaker are better but Unity is fine if the workflow makes sense to you
Wyatt Sullivan
Thanks guys
Ethan Jackson
It crashes and stores no backups of your files. It's animation tools are terrible -animations are stored on the page itself, not on a frame by frame basis -you cannot insert frames into middle animation -you cannot delete frames into middle of animation Cannot create pallete from current working file Shit brushes No eraser support with Wacom
It's infurating because aesprite is the ugliest thing ever and I would rather use pyxel edit but the dev will not release source so right now it's only useful for its tilemap shit, and thats all i use it for, and then it crashes and I want to kill somebody.
Adrian Cooper
I had a dev build of aesprite and it would crash my computer
I'm removing bloat, tuning up the things that matter - the event system
Jayden Morales

Jason James
That's just lack of dev optimization most of the time. Things like using large texture resolutions for a shitty texture that they could get away with using small. Calculations being performed inefficiently, etc.
Owen Evans
As an artist, am I not allowed to have a preference about what tools a project I'm involved in uses?
Julian Sanchez
>this is what unity-fags actually believe
Oliver Green
Im 50% sure that the devs of ROOT turned off occlusion culling so they could have a cool transparency look
Adrian Ramirez

this barbecue pizza is pretty shitty, I'm have a mocha. :) hope everyone's game/tutorials goes great.
Jacob James
What version of pyxel edit are you using? I haven't had it crash in a long ass time.
Blake Gonzalez
>wake up >get ready to knock a bunch of stuff off the todo list >spend the ENTIRE day on one bug you discovered
Adam Taylor
Current beta release ."stable" has less features making it even more useless.
Colton Scott
what the fuck is wrong with degenerates and pizza here are the ingredients in pizza:
>dough >olive oil >tomato sauce (tomatoes, onion, herbs) >mozzarella and then toppings
anything else is not pizza
Caleb Gonzalez
He is right though, it all depends on how much time you spend on your game, you can even make a FPSMMO that doesn't look like horseshit: youtube.com/watch?v=iyyJEzZq3sQ
Michael Rodriguez
Yeah I need to try that, thanks for the advice! I'm glad that someone remember my game
Samuel Wood
you did a good job, user! even if it feels small, you still did a lot of progress.
Wyatt Cook
what was your first game
looking back are you proud?
you should be user

I wanted barbecue like pizza hut use to have with actual kinda like barbecue on it, but they made the whole pizza barbecue flavored. kind of ruined it. oh well there wings are really good.
Jaxson Hill
Sauce?
Gavin Cooper
Mainly because of NMS, I've been thinking about adding a spherical curve and how to implement it; from just faking it with modulus (like how Super Mario 64 does to inadvertently make PUs) and some crazy flat xyz to spherical xyz for Perlin noise, to actually making spherically curved meshes and "accurate" functions to keep everything working, I realized I can fake it by applying vertex shader hacks.
And then this happened.
It took 5 lines of code in my vertex shader that fills the G-buffer; no additional changes to 2+ year old code.
Higher quality video at bambis.cat/grimgram/fuckup1.webm I wonder if anyone still remembers the little amount of progress I've posted about tg
Benjamin Cox
Well, it's the truth. Of course Unity has its own problems, but still most of the optimization failures are because of indie developers who underestimate/ignore this.
Nathaniel Torres
>you can even make a FPSMMO that doesn't look like horseshit: Not if you have the 'tism like engies do. Even if they tried using Unity they wouldn't be able to make anything with it. Enginedev is a convenient excuse for them to not make games while pretending to be devs.
Carter Murphy
>made stir fry for dinner >way too much curry powder How do indians deal with this?
It's an meme about Bambi's Cat with some fags I talk to. I kind of want to shell out $73 for a dedicated domain name, but wheres the fun in using a meme name I got for $5? And I'm not really a new dev, just a now-nodev.
Jackson Carter

I'm surprised you like it. I plan on replacing all of the graphics in my game honestly. I copied the style from MOTHER, and wanted a sort of "depressing/winter-y" palette. You can have the tiles for use or for reference if you want
Robert Stewart
Help a fellow AGDG'er out? Trying to get greenlit.
Pure ECS is just as shitty as the naive OO approach. No thanks.
Andrew Roberts
I am getting "ganstalked" and I have proof by multible other person.
This is a milestone, even though I don't have a recording device there are mutlible people that agree with me that there are hostile people that are observeing me. I need to buy audio recording equipment that is concealed and I have ended this farce.
Gangstalkers watch out! Your network will get exposed and once you get known to the public I can't garentee for your safety!
