j- just according to keikaku

But gogem has the answer

but gogem isn't here

No son, it's a quest

Add "Game Journalist" difficulty mode for extra salt

Made another item, now to balance it.

>but gogem isn't here
Hat's how he gets you

quests are a waste of dev time.

>To spite his own inadequacies as a gamedev and failure in gamedev he uses it all as a platform to incite more hatred against him so he can tell himself he's some kind of outsider, and that's why he failed.
That is 110% happened with the SidAlpha thing.
>youtube.com/watch?v=yzogY5JAkzw
It's called self-destruction and it's how gogem has always bailed out of failed games.

>hearthstone clone, will get to play with friends, about a third done with a base game.
>vr farming game. Have made vr demos before.
Im not a HUGE fan of TCGs but having friends to play with would make it worth it. On the other hand I love me some farming games and no one has touched it in vr yet. WHAT DO

Whats a good way to insert chicks with dicks in a nonporn game

Are you talking about futanari or transsexuals?

Good for you, user! Just keep pushing it. Start small. Add some scores. Make things flash on the screen.

You know how, user.

where can i follow you

He pulled more shit this year than any year yet. Must be finally realizing it's over.

Either or both

I think a $0 patreon will do that even after 1 month. It's been like 9 now.

meatray.com I guess. I haven't done much this was just an experiment in AI stuff.
I want the goblin to be a sassy secretary while you design the dungeon, and little cute adventurer NPCs try to conquer it.

I'm still amazed how poorly gogem took being featured by SidAlpha. It's so obvious he was looking for negative attention but he somehow could not handle it in the form of a DirtyDev label like that was too much for him. I guess that wasn't the honor he was seeking.

I assume you're not talking about adding an obvious parody character.

For a transsexual character, create a character that is mostly feminine but has a few 'off' masculine features (height, slightly broader shoulders, narrow hips etc.) but nothing that is extremely obvious. The character should have the near universal transsexual traits like shyness, low-self esteem, overly feminine dress, makeup, hairstyle (to compensate for male features) and aversion to personal questions and relationships. You reveal that the character is trans in a situation like, someone is interested in the character romantically and they're forced to reveal their status to them, someone walks in on them changing, a third party character who knew them as a male before transition sees them and blurts out the information, things like that. The key to realism is that it shouldn't be obvious that they're trans, but once you actually discover they're trans, it should feel like it "should have been" obvious. The signs should be hidden but still there.

Futanari, you'll need to go the Ninier route. A character that was cloned or created and 'mistakenly' given male genitalia, a character that was accidentally changed by a misfired potion or spell or machine, a character that was 'cursed' with male genitals by an adversary, things like that.

Actual real life intersex people with genitals like the opposite sex are never attractive. In reality the genitals appear deformed or 'ambiguous'. It's hard to sell a character that is a girl that 'just so happened to be born with a penis' because that's not how it works in reality.

>meatray.com
oh cool
i was the user always complimenting yous shit art months ago

Thanks a bunch user

>ninier
I meant to type Nier

So I want to make a procedurally generated roguelite system-shock style game.

Where do I start?

You gave this a lot of thought. Are you a tranny or into trannies?

Depending on what you're hoping to get out of adding a trans character. If you want fanart bait, it may be wiser to add all of the characteristics mentioned, but leave it ambiguous. Of course this works better in games that are more mechanically based and not as story-focused, you can get away with telling less.

>Are you a tranny
Yeah

First you must create the universe.
Then you google "$yourEngine rogue like tutorial" and/or stalk udemy and other sites for a 20$ Pre built learning experience.

"DirtyDev" is synonymous with asset flippers and scammers. It's basically a way to label a publisher's entire body of work as Do Not Touch garbage and that's what really got to gogem. Watching his meltdown reaction all leading to steam removing his games was great fun.

Feminine penis or gtfo

Google python roguelike tutorial.
Super easy

I finally fully (I think) finished my snail.
It took me probably about 8 hours and it was my first time animating anything.

How do you guys think he looks?
Also, is 8 hours too long to spend on something like this?

rougebasin articles. Start with the basic room, corridor, approach or perlin noise caves, then expand from there. Rooms aren't rectangles/squares but one of a list of shapes, so on.

Mostly, just play rougelikes, every dev has a devblog. The community is pretty open, etc.

>lite
Never mind, just have a system pick from a list of options automatically. What's hard about that?

Too long but don't worry, my nigga, I too am spending a bullshit amount of time at animating.
Don't get discouraged. Everyone was new once.

8 hours? Wtf user. It looks passable but still, 8 fucking hours.

Is using floppy disk as a save icon is ok or not?

It looks acceptable I guess, I don't know what it will actually look like in your game.

>is 8 hours too long to spend on something like this?
You need to change your perception. It's 8 hours you spent towards improving and learning pixel art and animation.

If you had spent 10 years already doing pixel animation and this still took you 8 hours, then yes it would be incredibly bad. But if you're a beginner, it's not a big deal.

Shell shouldnt change size. Is that the player or an enemy?

Thanks, how long do you think something like this should ideally take?

r00d

I'm going for a cartoon-y animation feel. Like how solid objects still can contract, expand, flex, stretch, etc.

You're still learning so, while 8 hours is objectively terrible for that result, it's fine.

But you may find it helpful to set a time limit for practice. 1 hour to sketch the design, 1 hour to polish, once you're done you're done. Make sure after you're done you stop and look at what you did wrong or right. You could have made 4 sprites in that same time!

>"DirtyDev" is synonymous with asset flippers and scammers
some made up name a bait youtuber came up with isnt synonymous with anything.
and i didnt have a meltdown danny.
defending yourself from lying sociopaths on the internet is a full time job, you should know this.

>You need to change your perception. It's 8 hours you spent towards improving and learning pixel art and animation.
That's a good point, thanks!

>Thanks, how long do you think something like this should ideally take?
Really impossible to tell. Depends on you.

lmao dirtydev you are still butthurt
silly dirtydev

googs please go back to working on your game

>how long do you think something like this should ideally take?
Once you're competent, that exact animation should take less than an hour. But what will probably happen is as you get better, you won't keep making animations like that, the quality will improve while the time you take per sprite remains roughly constant (unless you're aiming to get shit done fast)

i just finished.
gonna watch something.
stay chill nodev scum.

The way you open those chests is adorable.

Back to working on character customization, added a new layering system for different body parts, faces, tattoos.

>lying sociopaths
You sound like an actual crying baby right now. Nobody has lied about you. Speaking bluntly about your games (which are shit) and the things you do (pull shit) is not being a sociopath either.

Your long downhill decline has been absolutely wonderful to watch. I'm sorry if you think there's some angle of empathy you can play on. You're shit.

>he's starting in on "danny" now
Literally Insane Shitposter 2.0 is gogem? That's hilarious.

>New download
>Not the Demo Day game
I have my analytics page in constant F5 lockdown now

jfc my sides

itch.io/jam/agdg-demo-day-16/rate/

I desperately need some ideas to improve the gameplay guys.

My biggest problem is posted as here and I agree
>Mostly I found that the whole game just revolved around kiting until enemy spawns outbid your retreat vector, which probably isn't a problem.

My possible solution is
>I can tone the monster count a bit, but increase their speeds, which would solve kiting problems probably?

But all ideas are welcomed!

>i didnt have a meltdown

Haven't played your game yet but from all the webms I've seen I'd say it's most likely a problem of level design.

Oh fuck, here is the correct link
itch.io/jam/agdg-demo-day-16/rate/102580

>didnt have a meltdown

>ad hominem for two minutes
>first actual argument is the intentional fallacy
>people use this video as an argument

Did you already see my elite Bloodworks gaming video and feedback? I think you're the only one who hasn't seen his video yet.

As for your question, I think if your leveling balances out with the monster spawning, that would work too. Of course the speed thing could work too, but I don't know. On the other hand, you do want to have the game end at one point, right?

...

what is this

>didnt

No, I missed it. Did you post it here? Can you repost it please?

>how these professional talker youtubers got no bars? shits pathetic

>calling others liars
>calling others sociopaths
>has a zero dollar patreon and implied sidalpha needs patreon money more than him
>implied sidalpha was lying
>still implies everyone is lying and remembers things wrong and his games are good

what was the appeal of Axiom verge? artyle was meh, music was okayish, enemy designs and bosses were total shit, nothing that shines yet it was successful, why?

There is no real level design, I just scatter some random colliders around. Creating smarter levels correctly is probably too much.
>On the other hand, you do want to have the game end at one point, right?
Yes but I am pretty sure there must be ways to improve game play with small amount of works.

Yeah, I decided that I will release it on at most two months, so a dead line is already set. But I want to improve things a little before releasing it.

Aw, thank you. I'm really trying to improve my art but it's tough to self inspire, you know? Not the creative sorts.
I'll try to keep up and around more often without being annoying.

Introduce movement. Maybe a jetpack that launches you a set distance up and forward (so you're not always going backwards) or dark soul rolls with I frames. You could also try adding a "base", that way you're not always going backwards but instead around?

It's a first-time-playing type of video
youtube.com/watch?v=DMuKE0CtV58

I accidentally closed the itch tab which contained your written feedback, but the gist was that the plugin system is a good idea for the type of game you're going for, since it felt that one could run out of stuff to do rather fast. And I always ask whether you want to add a plugin creator for users.
I liked that game, although I may be a bit biased because the zerg rush stuff reminds me of Mirklings.

8/10 meltdown not enough swearing. Gogem always acts like a pearl clutching bitch whenever he's on the defense. There's no real fight in the little faggot, just sniveling and deceit.

People desperate for anything vaguely like a 2D Metroid game.

I didn't play it but wasn't there some gimmick with glitches? That metafictional bit is probably what gave it the edge

It was the first fan boy metroidvania that was marketed as such. I liked the enemy design desu. But overall yea it was meh looking back.

>you can make tons of money anywhere
Yes gogem knows all about making tons of money.

>you're just confirming facts were not important just another character for BOGEYMAN OF THE WEEK TRYING TO BE LIKE DADDY STERLING REEEEE
he is positively fuming

> dark soul rolls with I frames
That sounds good, I will experiment with it. Coupling it with faster monsters can make things interesting. Thanks!

Thanks!
>engine dev
noone made that joke before :P

The first boss you encounter was "angel" (from doctor who), which are extremely fast but stops when you look at them. kinda unfair as first one

also, I realize downloading a plugin does not equal always online
talking bullshit in a constant stream is difficult and I mess up
at least I never said nigger

>bruh really?
>when you've done something more with your life than play other peoples games while saying other people's opinions I'll hit you with a real killer punchline
The fucking irony. He is the punchline. That was unintentionally hilarious. Literally sounded like Digital Homicide's little brother.

This is a nuclear meltdown friendo You literally started shrieking about videogame reviews as a concept.
>PLAYING OTHER PEOPLE'S GAMES you fucking journalist scum you PARASITE
>DO NOT PLAY MY GAME OR LOOK AT MY GAME OR TALK ABOUT MY GAME
I mean holy shit. You could not have melted down any harder and you even felt the need to share it to twitter out of some fucked up logic who gives a shit why you do anything. It's great entertainment.

>prove it with actual facts
What was gogem even talking about here? He acts like he's on trial for murder and being framed when all someone did was report on what exactly he was doing.

hmm explosion is causing spikes for you too, will rewrite the thing. for some reasons, it is horrible on some computers

he's literally insane. one might even say he
reeks of failure

Well, it IS a laptop running a game and OBS in the background

>reported on
you mean blatantly making shit up and insulting someone without even naming them?

lmao what a nerd

but still, explosions are problematic. it only adds 15 particles per explosion but still causing a slowdown. I have no idea why.
