fuck off m8 we all know how to make fucking asteroids

Who said he was a real man?

wheres your finished game

I can make that for free in Godot

>tfw you just finished writing 500+ lines of code and about two hours of work based on direction and got everything backwards now the game is crashing and burning
im about to end it all in 5 minutes ask me anything

banned on itch.io lol

dev!

Hello hurricane simulator dev :^)

Are there any Godot games on Steam right now with over 5000 reviews? Because for LÖVE there's this one store.steampowered.com/app/323850/Move_or_Die/. I don't think an engine is respectable until it has a game with 5000 reviews on Steam. Wouldn't you agree?

Just press Ctrl-Z and do it again. Good programming is about sacrifice and emotional maturity.

I will, but first I need an answer.
I'm conflicted on if I should make a fully 3D asteroids-like space shooty game. Or a top-down 2D asteroids-like space shooty game with 3D models.

Hi.
After I moved to gamejolt it netted me about $2 in ad revenue so just rest assured that we're all gonna make it. :^)

2D top-down with 3d models.

steam audio doesn't work. i'm heartbroken.

700 sales is what I consider a success, anything less that 700 is a failure.

That's a very low bar for an engine. It means you don't believe games made in Godot can do any better than that.

Holy shit, that trailer is cringe.

>costs money to set up a business
>costs money to set up tos and other legal stuff for business
>if you don't set one up, you get more deducted from your sales if you are lucky to get any
This is why you need a job and dev in the side

You're saving money in the long run.

>costs money to set up a business
Depends a lot where you live

talent is a meme, remember to practice user!!

>person with talent: 1 year of practice and industry-quality work

>inverted memearrow
what did he mean by this

...

person with talent is less than person with talent, apparently

it means he's a leftie and supports hillary

I'm living with my parents until the robots take all the jobs and I can get minimum wage for just existing and then spend the rest of my life making whatever game I want and releasing it for free

and what is gonna come first? That or the cure for baldness?

>open engine
>start new project
>set 3 variables
>close engine without saving
help

save your project before closing

more market for me

that's the least of your worries, almost no matter where you live it'll cost like a few hundred bucks at most to get started, the biggest "cost" is to cover your living expenses for a long ass time while you make some games

did you apply for that internship?

There are already cures for baldness.

I buy a couple jars of peanut butter each month and live in the crawlspace of this random family's house. I even leech their wifi and go up to get water when they leave for work.

the best you can do is delay it indefinitely with terrible side-effects

What side effect does putting butt hair on your head have?

your head is become butt

YOu need to practice well, 10 years of bad practice, just scribbling around without actively learning would never catch up with 1 year of focused learning. If you're not trying to be the best you can possibly be you're just a dud who will never get anywhere in life.

If I need like 100 different objects, should I make them all as duplicates and then tweak them in gamemaker or should I try to make them all save to and load from a file?

>mark as "Done"

2D gameplay is dead. 3D gameplay is the future.

Hey agdg, my landlord is putting a filter on the apartment internet on Monday. One of the websites that is blocked is Veeky Forums for pornography and extremist views. I guess this may be the last time I post on here in a while. I'll try to make a lot of progress until then.

>Tracks - The Train Set Game is actually made by one of you
this makes up for all the times you made fun of my autism, Veeky Forums

he's about to make it big while you still have autism

Get your own internet?

Don't be a pussy, if internet was in your contract then tell him that if he filters your internet you are going to pay less rest because he is in break of that contract.

We only make fun of autism because we are autistic ourselves.

is it really the same dev? i remember those shitty ass webms

oh yeah he never bothered to get mathematically smooth shapes

fucking game design-only niggers

looks pretty comfy but there's no gameplay.

I could potentially get a phone plan but money is pretty tight. There is only one internet option for the apartment and it's what they provide themselves. I could see if the library blocks Veeky Forums

is it worth going for a game dev internship? university having a program for interns to make small games for companies and was thinking of applying for a programmer position.

If my main motive is to get better at programming would this help?

Just use TO--- oh right you cant kek because mook blocked all nodes back then

>he thinks gameplay matters

not gonna make it

>CRT-nostalgie will die when last person born in 1985-1990 will die
Funny, I thought it's only the people born AFTER 1990 that do this... because people born BEFORE 1985 actually remember what CRTs looked like!

I wonder if you could get around their block by using startpage's proxy? You'd have to deal with posting without javascript, but it'd be something if you could.

>leech off of soyboy nostalgia by making a virtual babby train toy for grownups
>make basic bitch level editor
>buy an ambient occlusion asset
>youtube fags make easy long videos just fiddling with the crappy level editor
so this is how you make it

its a UE4 game its to be expected

...

relax user, im sure your metriovania puzzle platformer is gonna be great

fuck that motion blur tho

They do

>his skinner box is resonating more than my skinner box IDEA, waaahhhh

hey man we needed a brio game

Get a VPN

Why is Godot so much better than every other engine? Usability and ease of Game Maker, but the power of Unity. Can non-FOSS engines even compete?

...

i smell unity

The only thing Godot is missing is an extremely popular game that "proves" the engine is worth using.

That's true. Y-you're working on it, right user?

I'm so glad I discovered Godot when I did. The next couple of years are gonna be so exciting.

I can tell you that the 3rd year gonna be spectacular - you will finally realize godont cant do some things you wan and you will be porting projects on Unity or UE4

Fun!
I love fun!

Hell yeah I am.
/v/ will have daily threads about my game for months.

j-just give me a couple years.

Godot and yesdeving is pulling me out of depression and you aren't gonna drag me back there. Sorry, not today nodev!

That game's already been made

>the power of Unity
You take that back. Godot is way more powerful than pay-for-shadows.

...

You will never make it.

You will make it.

I already made it.

I wont

You have made it.

Define "make it"
Define "(You)"

not you

man i'm already fucking doing it. even if my game is trash.

...

remember when everyone was waiting for polycode? what ever happened to that anyway?

do you think if i fap now that i'll lose some motivation or will it be a good refresh?
