I've been saying that for two Demo Days, each with a different project.
This time I'll make it !

I have been here today enough to witness 2 thread changes. It's time to stop.

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW AND

post progress

I get weird things like this where the idle time shoots up and surpasses the fixed frame time. I don't know if I'm interpreting this wrong but as I understand it, fixed time is the sum of the time spent running all the stuff that gets listed below, and idle time should be the cpu waiting for the next frame, aka (Fixed Frame Time) - (Fixed Time), if the fixed time exceeds the fixed frame time then there's no idle and you just lost a frame. The game dropping a frame because of idle time doesn't make sense.

>tfw my newest project might actually be in a playable gamelike state by DD15
Sort of scared and hyped at the same time.

I'm no expert but my only guess is that the system is setting the process to low priority or something.

...

>tfw this is the furthest in a game you've ever got

Makes you feel like giving up desu

do not forget the best game!

I redid my jumping calculations and deleted the dash function, will remake it from the ground up, but the webm detailing that would look just the same as the last 5 ones I've posted in over a year, I won't bother.
Instead, tell me guys, would you fight him?

B-But I have no progress user. I'm still waiting for the sun to set so the heat goes down a little.

Mine already is, I just need to modify some stuff to make it so that the player has multiple lives and gets a game-over instead of just restarting the level, but that's not a hard thing to do.
Problem is, I've got very little content, and little polish. I've been fucking around with the gameplay and couple visuals too much

Good job.

The good thing about you spamming the thread with it means that I will instantly hate and thumb down this game and tell everyone I know to do the same.

My monster girls will be more mysterious!

How do you feel about this as someone with a passion in creating games? How do you feel when people consider them literally the worst thing in the world? You don't hear that shit about other art, at least not so often.

looks like mostly MMO addicts. I feel sorry for them if anything

People with problems blaming everything but themselves?

Nothing new

That subreddit is about addiction, I don't see the problem with trying to fix that.

I'm not sure you actually checked what that place is for before posting.

youtube.com/watch?v=fVab5Z0bndo

wtf is this shit? is it an indie game or..? it looks fucking dumb if there aren't even any special mechanics related to the core game concept like arms getting tangled or the fists colliding in mid air or anything

Give me a (You) and I will post progress.

burn in nodev hell

There are always going to be people who take things a little too seriously. You don't see alcohol manufacturers quit because alcoholics exist.

:)

I have been following it for a while. There are different cases, but what hurts a bit is that they are treating games in general as a waste of time and a drug you need to get completely rid of.

because 99.9% of games are a waste of time.
they're barelly above porn and anime (comics) in terms of art.

you don't see people thinking chess or sports as waste of time though.

make something meaningfull to people.

If you're addicted then you should probably stop completely, just like anything.

>is it an indie game or..?
This is the most offensive part of this bait and I'm not even sure this was on purpose.
Indie fighters tend to be deeper than AAA ones since they don't go for mainstream appeal.

they're right

If they think games are negatively affecting their lives then there's nothing wrong with quitting it completely. It's a slippery slope for them, you don't tell an alcoholic to simply drink in moderation.

Is there a StopShitposting support group like that somewhere?

So yeah, if that is true, how do you feel about it as game devs? Why do you still create games if you consider them a waste of time?

reddit.com/r/Killyourself/

DSP would make a great speedwagon-type character with how he narrates things now that I think about it.

>but what hurts a bit
How does that hurt a bit? Why do you care at all? The only time you should care is if you're the one addicted to video games.
These people have zero influence on you. They are not your target audience, they do not matter whatsoever to gamedev.

why are people posting reddit links

How could someone who likes video games reach the age of 18 and still care what the general opinion of them is?

Unless...

>what are different viewpoints
Why the fuck do you care about people that PERSONALLY don't want to play games anymore? Will you post some sports subreddit next and complain that people there aren't playing games instead?

Making games and playing games are 2 completely different realms user.

MOOOOOOM chad said video games suck and are a waste of time!! Tell him to quit!!!

>On 4chains
>Caring what other think

N-N-N-NOOOOOOORMIIIIIIEEEEEES

do you consider literature a waste of time because there's erotica?

do you consider music a waste of time because of shitty generic pop idols?

do you consider film a waste of time because there's porn?

same deal with games.

you never see people complaining chess, go, shogi, pacman, street fighter II, civilization, soccer, final fantasy, castlevania sotn as waste of times though.


people only complains about shitty games with nothing to it that uses skinner boxes to make people adict.

Watch this:
youtube.com/watch?v=mJ_fkw5j-t0

make something that feels worthy to you and others.

We don't need to, we are already suffering newfag hell

Use your eyes son.

He's one of those le ebin posters that think (You)'s are upvotes, so he doesn't quote you so there's no (You).

(You)

Actualy pornography is shat on much harder

Is it okay for my website to link to the images on my Steam store page instead of hosting them myself?

Yeah, Valve is pretty cool with people using steam api.

what are some of the underused game mechanics that you like?

porn isn't art though.
is degeneracy.

Don't act like many games today care about the artistic aspect beyond virtue signaling

Now Progress I can get into.

where the recap at

art without ethics is a waste of time and therefore has not value.

same with food.

>Make an art asset
>The texture looks really nice and you think its gonna turn out alright
>When you unwrap it it looks hideous and amateur
>Get depressed and lose motivation

Why does this keep on happening to me

If every human being had to star in mandatory 1-hour porn film as coming-of-age ceremony, no one would care for porn at all.

>vices should be celebrated
>gluttony should be celebrated
oh wait, vices already are celebrated in western culture.

i just thought it looked really shit and if it's a low budget/small team game it would make more sense to me. i was actually surprised to find out that it's a nintendo game but i guess they want to keep it simple on purpose

porn is art as much as games are

>spend 15-60 minutes every week looking for recap poster

>spend 3 minutes making your recap post

recap is a meme

games aren't art though.
they can be art, but they're not art.

nobody thinks sports are art by example.

>playing video gamer is bad
I swear I've heard that slogan somewhere else. Your next like will be something about manchildren or growing up.

I enjoy my video games and I don't give a flying fuck if it triggers people. It's not addiction, it's a hobby like anything else.

Mediums aren't art in and of themselves. I've seen plenty of games/porn that I'd be willing to call art, and I've seen plenty that hardly were art at all. It's a case by case thing, not subject by subject thing.

Not to mention half the entries readily admit they have no progress for the week CANT LOSE DAT CHAIN DOE

Also I'm drunk af i have no idea what i'm typing

>I don't read posts I'm replying to and proud of this.

awful thread

isn't is always?

yeah most of these are people with addiction issues and no purpose in life, how is that relevant to game dev

of course they are, user. most adults don't actually play video games. as a video game developer, you can be excused to play games for research purposes, and to play your own game during development, but you have to ask yourself which is more important, to play video games or to create video games

HOW DO I RENDER THIS STUPID CLOUD AS MULTIPLY IN UNITY?

UNITY DOESNT HAVE BLENDING MODES!!!!!

HELP.

REEEEEEEEEEEEe

You aren't considering games as art the original questino doesn't make sense so your argument is invalid

> it looked really shit
Nigga pls

first: calm down.
Second: usually thats the kind of thing you can google in 2 seconds

what the fuck is that

>making texture before unwrapping model

???

lol what that is pretty fucking lewd for nintendo
>During last night’s Nintendo Direct, a few new characters for Arms were revealed. In particular, the internet loves Twintelle, because, well, she’s kinda thicc.

BIG
BROWN
BUTT

...

what the hell get out of my thread you nerds

Isn't it the best plan ever?

little red riding hood dev never shared his knowledge on how to model butts

>Haydee
>Nier Automata
seems like a solid plan

Anyone knows if the dev doing the Fionna RPG here has a devblog or something?

If not solid, at least pretty tight.

pls squaredev post a side view of the wolf girl model

Here you go, man.

Looks pretty comfy, in all honesty.

Do you think players would hate me if I added a shader to make the game look like this?

Give him a hair flick idle animation when in fight mode.

Game story idea:
Generic damsel in distress story. The main character is a strong white male who must go save his true love whom was kidnapped by the generic evil character. The gameplay can be whatever you want. Throughout the game you never see the character's true love, but there's always reinforcement about how much the main character loves this character.

Finally after beating the entire game and defeating the big bad boss, you are reunited with your true love. Your true love is a male. It's important to never give hints about the main character being gay or that the damsel in distress is actually male.

Bonus points if the big bad character is female.

I hate everything

I don't get it. It just makes the entire game look like it has cheap motion blur?

GOTY

Game pitch : user finally makes a fucking game instead of wasting his time telling us useless ideas
