AGDG - Amateur Game Development General

Keep practicing, and don't listen to the retards in this thread who know nothing about 3D shading.

>normal
More like default with low effort. Add a small range for the color transition and smooth the colors within it. Extra 3 lines for smooth color boundaries.

I... I'm an enemy! Pleased to meet you! W-would you fight me, user-kun?

I like it. How will it act?

I'm sorry, Mr. Robot Spider, but I would rather befriend you and go on an adventure to save the world. Spiders are not foll kill, they are for being bros.

Almost everyone can tell if something looks like shit or not though. I'm not going to delude myself because I did something and they did not.

No. Hard shading gets my dick hard.

Skid around, rotate torso 360°, Fire frontal Machineguns, ...the rest I'm not 100% sure on yet, but you're welcome to come up with ideas.

Daw... Well hell, Now I want to make this a player controlled unit.

kill me.

Why is it so fun

engine? details?

Go have a wank, user.

Make it if that's what makes you happy, user. I always restricted myself to puzzle games, because hurr durr muh scope and originality, but now I'm working on your average space shooter FPS, and damn, I just enjoy the simple act of walking around aimlessly in the empty map.

r8? wud u fug

i'm glad gogem.pro got a sequel

the previous screenshot looked like shit though.
This one is better.

My picture's too small to notice but they're not jaggies, it's some kind of distortion that occurs because the method uses the vertex normals and simply makes the part shaded if it's below a treshold. Since I haven't edited them on the default ue4 dude, it looks like that.
It's basically a simpler version of what Guilty Gear Xrd did.

Did that one user ever report gogem.pro to the police?

need more hands practice, young man

Is this a joke?

You can't make sexual art if you have no drawing fundamentals, I'm gonna assume you're trolling though because nobody would draw a freakish giraffe neck on a character they want to be appealing.

You're not googum

Sounds good. Could also possibly pounce at the player?

Sadly it isn't a joke. He draws all of his characters like that, and keeps trying to boast about how it's his style. This is why you should never listen to his art critique.

S...spider chan, if you insist. It's not like I'd like it or anything

The problem is that your "shaded" variable is boolean, if you add a transition interval to your threshold you'd have some pixels at 0.5 shaded, killing the jaggies/distortion/whatever you want to call it.

This is his drawing of a loli

What do you think?

Ummm. How about if I fire so... some sort of sticky web at you... a... and p-p-pull you closer while I fire my MG at you?

got more drawings or screenshots? this is funny

Exactly. Look at the behaviour of spiders. Could have it pretend to be dead and have it's legs curled up.

gogem got buttblasted about people critiquing his art as the terrible shit it is, so in an effort to preserve his astronomically inflated self-image now he's "trolling" agdg by "ironically" making a loli rape sim with his shitty "art style".
It's not actually a joke, but feel free to laugh at his pathetic life.

I think he's walking the same path as those 20 something year old autistic furries on deviantart who draw the same ugly shit every day and con themselves into thinking they are improving just by drawing. Gogem fucking save yourself before its too late and be critical of your work

Sure, but then it wouldn't be hard shaded. The trick they used for GGXrd is to manually edit the normals to produce the result they wanted, which I'll get around doing later.
Here's a picture of what it looks like when you really zoom in, just to prove I'm not bullshitting and that they aren't actual jaggies.

zero good ideas

zero abilities

That's okay because good execution is better than good ideas. Just find someone else's dead idea that other people got hyped about, and make that.

But good execution requires lots of good ideas so you're actually boned lol

>he's "trolling" agdg by "ironically" making a loli rape sim with his shitty "art style".
Reminder that this violates australian law, and if reported, he could go to jail.

To quote another user
>implying any court in the world will recognise gogem's shitty art as "loli"

i keep seeing people shit on my art but i'm not seeing them do any better.

Gogem, taking a literal shit on your 'art' is already better than your 'art'.

Well you don't have to be good at something to say you don't like it.

alfredius does your style better than you.

This is pretty ugly though. Better than gogem, but still bad.

t. aesthetician

remember when this was the shit? i wonder where the dev went

Reminder that if your tastes are shit, then your opinion on art is null void.

On the subject of art in general, can we all agree on this?

youtube.com/watch?v=lNI07egoefc

Like a void* to nullptr?

I'm seriously asking, what is the problem with this and Gogem's art? It's clearly some sort of caricature. Of course, with this style, you won't make sexually appealing characters, but I don't think that's his goal to begin with.

Not even shitting you, he got a game at a proper gamedev studio, and now doesn't have time for it or us. He still occasionally plonks at it, and it looks better now, but it's still not much further along.

What a dumb video, art stopped being realistic because photography started existing and that's all there is to it.

This guy is the art equivalent of the "I was born in the wrong generation" commentators under Dad-Rock videos. Nothing has fallen or is decreasing in quality, the only things that change are what is popular and those things usually are things that are different to the things that were popular before them.

...

theres no point trying to have a real discussion about this stuff with a shitposter

>with this style, you won't make sexually appealing characters
not true. eroticism is between the ears, there's nothing inherently "sexual" about any stylization of drawing nor even of the actual body in the first place. to see some spheres as ~i want to stick my penis in that butt~ requires all sorts of sociopsychological constructs to trigger a core part of the brain that feels eroticism.
anything can do that, absolutely anything.

A rock isn't a downgrade in quality over a sculpture carved from a rock?

Ok.

His own mouth in IRC. You're free to ask LRSP (Loli Rape Sim Programmer) yourself if you want.

Testing pinups.

Spoilered for non-sexual buttock.

That's not what I said and you know it.

I knew it was you even before opening the pic, you are a sick pervert.

A rock is a downgrade over scissors. The objectively best card.

>there's nothing inherently "sexual" about any stylization of drawing nor even of the actual body in the first place
Holy fucking shit you're retarded.

>rock sculptors suddently stopped existing
who do you think are busy maintaining cathedrals and every stone monument ?

>You can't make sexual art if you have no drawing fundamentals

It's "shouldn't", not "can't".
It's like you've never been to fucking Deviantart.

what game/game studio??

Obviously he didn't say.

┐(´ー｀)┌

wheres your argument?
does it explain why you want to fuck a lamp?

How old are you people?

You remind me of me when I was 14 (no insult intended). I wish I could get into this shit like I used to and get pleasure from it like I used to. Now I'm just a bitter prick, that can only ever think about money and long term shit.

...

The cool thing about laws and law-related entities is that it's all about fucking with people they don't like, not with preserving any kind of peace. If the game says it's a loli, it doesn't matter what it looks like. If the game says it's not a loli but it looks like a loli, it doesn't matter what the game says.

26 and I'm the biggest normie you can imagine. But surprisingly I have more freedom to do whatever I want with my freetime now than I had when I was 14 and also more sources to learn about things I actually care about (namely: the Internet), so amateur game devving is finally an option. I have no intention to do anything big or gain fame, I just enjoy programming game related stuff. I feel like those old guys who spend their weekends in their sheds in the garden fixing and making stuff.

???

20. The secret is to treat it as a hobby, it's only a job if you're living on it.

32 this year

whats pugdev been up to?

you havent offered a counter explanation to mine so i can only assume you agree

There's no need. If you don't think drawings on their own can be inherently sexual, you're both completely incorrect and a complete idiot.

Keep coming up with those mindless delusions if it helps convince yourself your art is passable, but guess what? You will always be a failure.

>I thought it was a lamp looking like an ass when it really was just an ass
That's some reverse mind fucking there.

there is a real difference between creating art and drawing something and claiming it to be art. it sounds pretentious, but that's really just it.
since this is the internet, Veeky Forums, and very nearly /v/ i'd like to use a shit analogy here.
consider some artists who understand their craft, understand their tools, understand the subject matter, and understand their reference.
liken that to a maths equation, where someone could see the question, and create an answer through brute forcing it, guessing and checking, or by using working that is simply wrong. you end up with the same answer, but there are a couple of effects of doing this.
it can either take far longer than someone who understands what they're doing, and generally be far messier in the workings - which can be equated to the actual content of the art as it is being made.
this effect could be considered similar to a kid drawing a line in a hundred back-and-forth strokes of a pen, where the artists of what they're referencing simply made one, long, sweeping stroke with a wider tip.
the other outcome is that it will be far quicker, but similarly worse though in different ways.
if ever you see a video of an experienced artist sketching something in a style natural to them, they can generally breeze it. yes, these are highly-paid and experienced people who do it for a living, but the point is it comes naturally, and is developed from their own understanding and caricaturing of established rules -- not necessarily of art, but definitely of the subject matter. it's very obvious when someone is not creating their art from an educated knowledge of their subject, but is just drawing it as they go in their own 'style'.

on a lighter note, i can't fucking get SDL_mixer mix_playmusic to not crash after a time dependant on the chunk size of the audio loaded in as music.

you dont seem to understand the term "inherently"
but please explain what can make a drawing on its own inherently erotic.

wrong again.

FUCK

>tfw you realize the bug was just std::set not actually inserting an element because the compare value was the same as another element and it would just do nothing quietly while the rest of the algorithm fucked itself in the ass

I agree with Gogem that sex happens in the mind. I mean there's a reason why some people are into big tits while others are into small ones, just to name one example. So with that logic, if something is not sexually appealing to you, might be for someone else. Like pic related.

On the other hand, I agree with you that Gogem's figures are not that arousing. I mean, I like the clothing, but the neck kinda ruins it and gives me the impression that it's some sort of parody rather than porn.

How deep is the rabbit hole?

That doesn't prove anything though.
The original picture was still an ass, not a lamp.

>you dont seem to understand the term "inherently"
Speaking for yourself there? You're the one idiotic enough to believe loli is inherently sexual.

Which way is the middle spinning?

REKT
>inb4 b-but eroticism!!
>inb4 look at the wikipedia page!!

>all this progress I'm making while people argue about nothing
>this is my competition

You mean to say that some people are into big tits while others are into small tiles, right?

>>all this progress I'm making
I don't see it
Dumb niggerposter

You need at least that much of a handicap if you're going to get anywhere, jamal.
