the best games are ALWAYS inspired by real world activities that the developers found deep joy from
having a life is the best way to make good games

what do you enjoy most in life?
can you convert this concept into a video game?

Problem is, that was at a time where the world wasn't connected by a giant network where you guys could goon to anime girls together

Its pretty much impossible to inspire your games by real world activities, when the inspiration you get is off of the internet, which is where everyone other person also gets their inspiration

not in terms of providing the player with a dopamine loop
dig hole
get minerals
sell minerals
upgrade tools
people are fucking addicted to this shit
the dopamine loop, plus the goofy quirky premise, plus the heavy shilling from the publishers, all add up to the success of the game
this is my true opinion on the matter at hand
dopamine slop + aggressive marketing

>Tajiri would grind white limestones into perfect spherical shapes known as Dorodango (Japanese: 泥だんご, lit. "mud dumpling"). He would throw the dorodango at birds, turtles, and other small animals with the mistaken belief it would safley weaken them for capture. One day he struck and gravely injured a neighbor's cat. He tried to get help, but the cat did not survive. As punishment, his father forced him to keep the infamous dorodango by his bedside, the white stone now bearing a red blood stain on the top half. Tajiry revealed this was the inspiration for the pokeball, a dorodango that could do no harm.

I-I think I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna project hop from this sunk cost fallacied game of mine. This game idea is a lot like an idea I originally wrote down months back except
>scoped down hard
>sounds fun
I think it's got a solid chance of making it and a quick development cycle, less than 1 year. Want to test out how well I can dev it and decide from there, hopefully this isn't a mistake that results in just prolonging my flop of a main game but it feels very promising on the GMI scale.

Less actually, third game you become sustainable, around the 4th-5th game you're in made it territory. The stats are skewed by people making their first game, making no money, them making a postmortem on reddit about how because their 2d pixel indie platformer didn't make a million bucks that it's the indiepocalypse, and they declare gamedev a hobby and essentially move onto something else.

Gamedevs succeeding is divided into mostly 3 factors:

-Luck (big channel plays your game and it explodes, your game was in a meta that only JUST became popular, you inadvertently created a new meta, etc. etc.) (rare)

-You managed to make a good game your first time that people want to play (rare)

-You keep making games after failing and learning from your mistakes until you develop a game that people want to play.(also rare in the sense that most indies give up after their first)

My mind is swarming with ideas over a few of my dream games all of a sudden! I can't do all of them in reasonable time though!!!! I can't afford to project hop more than once either! How do I even choose besides using the following parameters?
>estimated dev cycle
>estimated game fun-ness (gmi level)
I've already had to drop one of my dream games from being made anytime soon since it just has high ngmi levels which I realized as I fleshed out ideas about it. The only thing I'd be able to do to save that game would result in a huge increase to the dev cycle, like years of time. But these other ideas are shorter by comparison, from as short as under a year to as long as 3 years.

If I project hop it has to be something within reasonable time, less than 1 year. If I choose to wait until my game is done than I can go for something longer, but anything longer than 3 years is just way too big of a risk! How do I decide?!

If I ever actually make a game I'd wanna do a limited run of physical copies. Bake the game onto a disc and then add a map, a guide (even if it doesn't need it), maybe an extra lore booklet for flavor or something.

I know like 3 devs who are on their 10th game or thereabout. Only 1 of them succeeded and iirc it was with his 8th game. This says "average" but I've seen how that word can be used to mislead, anything on median revenue per game based of total games released by developer?

If you think it'll take you 1 year, it'll actually take over 3 years. Go for something you think you can finish in 1-3 months if you want it to be done within a year. Your main game should be the SMALLEST game you can think of that's still commercially viable.

Why do so many indie games seem like they are intentionally trying to be an "indie game".

Sure the production is going to look amateur unless you are a savant. But it seems like there could be more indie games that seem designed by and for normies even if they are made by a basement tendie eater or a hipster. A game that a AAA studio would want to rip off and do better with their gigantic resources.

it doesn't. you can't possibly be receiving dopamine for something in which you had no input.
have you confused dopamine for adrenaline? nausea? an erection? constipation? headache? heart palpatations? you might be dying. terror? just general confusion?

The brass bit is the cartridge and those are usually ejected sideways and up. Again, don't know if that's the vibe you're going for but I feel like it might add to it.

Replaced a lot of old assets that are commonly used in shovelware assetflips.

Godot 4.4 introduced new AgX tonemapper, which I really like. They also greatly improved the quality of baked lighting, which is quite noticeable.

It could take way longer. If don't have any hard deadlines and external pressures, you'll constantly be tempted to drag things on for longer. Most games aren't released because the devs thought they were completely done with it, but because external pressures demanded them to be released in the "good enough" incomplete state that they are in. It's better to plan for way smaller, be in that "good enough" state for longer, and then spend as much time polishing as you can.

weed is one of the most powerful tools for a game dev. the trick is to only smoke in the latter half of the day. thus the day is divided into three phases.

phase 1: sober phase
phase 2: reflections (go for a walk)
phase 3: consume the buddha.

The second trick is to abstain from coding in the intoxicated phase of the day. you should instead focus on drawing and thinking about your ideas on paper. Only code once the idea is solidified. Preferably, code the next day. If your game is nearing completion, now is also the time to play the game and explore potential mechanics. There are many easy wins to be had.

I had the same problem with health bars though. It feels better if you exaggerate the health bar rather than have it display the true percentage.

The same likely goes for orbs, you want a middle ground between volume and height.

You don't realize how grating that is. I would not be surprised if he's doing this in hopes a certain someone sees it to seethe, perhaps a previous employer of his he hated? I mean I'd be hard pressed not to buy a lambo and do donuts at a previous employers workplace just to dab on them before peeling out just to let them know I never have to get in the wagecage again.

I WILL NOT DEVELOP MY CUSTOM S3TC COMPRESSOR

I have checked internet what are the strongest best S3TC. I downloaded one of them. The niggers didn't provide EXE but source code!!! I tried to compile but it was broken and required Microsoft Compiler!
I had to fix this shit to compile.

But eventually I got .exe. When I compressed my texture:
it has over 40 PSNR.
they do use my algorithm that I written on paper few days ago. So I don't need to develop my compressor because they already use my ideas, they stolen them.

I have visually inspected output image and looks good, not perfect, with some modifications to compressor it could be better, but it is good enough, I can use it now instead of 16-bit RGB texture. DXT1 uses 4-bit per pixel while 16-bit RGB uses 16-bit per pixel, RGBA8 uses 32-bit per pixel!

If I continue using compression and optimization everywhere, soon I will be able to run the game on SNES, with full 3D and 1000 objects. It's just matter of time.

There are certain parts of gamedev that are quite fun, like prototyping and learning, but having fun for yourself does not create a fun game that other people would want to play. We obviously like our games as a concept, but it's a shit ton of hard work to turn idea into reality. You would understand this if you put any real effort into making a game and weren't a filthy braindamaged nodev. Fuck off back to /v/.

Yes anon, people will post things they like in social media, like their cat pics, game videos or yes gamedev shit. Yes anon, people would still do said things for fun if social media vanished.
No anon, correlation does not imply causation. Before the social media boom people still did things for fun, yes anon even gamedev. Flash games or free game websites for example. And even before it some just made stuff and dropped it in random for whoever to see, like how Cave Story came to be. The widespread of information and/or the development of free or "free" general use game engines would sooner be correlated than social media of all things.

You retarded fucking nodev. Obviously people do things for fun, but you're simply assuming that the act of making a commercial-quality game is fun to anyone because you've never even tried. You can dig a small hole on the beach for fun, but no one goes to become a slave in a fucking coal mine for "fun". You can start a backyard garden for fun, but no one starts a 50 acre farm for "fun". In the same way, small games and prototypes can be fun, but once they get higher in quality, it's hard fucking work, which you would know if you tried at all.

Good games aren't made for fun. They're made for reward, and the reward doesn't necessarily have to be money. Some people will make them for attention and for the respect of the audience, but they're not making it purely for themselves.

I need marijuana to function. I don't know what it is about my brain, but without weed I am completely useless and get distracted.
When I smoke it? I get tunnel vision for whatever it is that I was doing while getting high.
It's a double-edged sword, yeah, because if I smoke weed while watching youtube, that's all I'll do for the next 3 hours. But if I'm programming and roll a joint? It's 3 hours of nonstop, uninterrupted work.

Back when I was in high school, I took the ACT during school and got a 29, which isn't bad but isn't amazing either. I retook the test a month later, this time I ate an edible brownie on the way there. Got a 35, which is a top-tier score since the test is out of 36. That 35 was actually the highest score at my high school.

Same with the AP exams for high school, I got 5s on all of them because I was downing fire crackers on test day (fire crackers are when you smear peanut butter on 2 graham crackers, sprinkle weed on one of them, then sandwich together and bake it in the oven... This was over 15 years ago, so I didn't have access to gummies or candies like today)

on general terms I take the same workflow I use for my cheap style, but do some changes like use an AI 3D sculpt as 3D reference, and some extra steps like upscaling the pixel art texture using an SNES emulator filter, then manually fix it by hand like the hair and the face.

Also another extra trick is to use freestyle in blender and do corrective blend shapes on the cheeks set to drivers controlled by the camera Z axis.

You baboon, you illiterate monkey. I gave you exactly an example of a good game made for fun, release for free. While you use engines and pre-made tools this motherfucker made all his stuff from scratch and gave it out for free with no expectation of a "reward". Actually go fuck yourself for not knowing the great of greats that it is.

No idea, but that sounds like cope he would say in an interview to pretend to be all cool. His friends played them and acted respectfully because that's what friends do, not because they wanted to play the games. He knows this and took that as a lesson as to how to make good, fun games that other people actually wanted to play.

Fix your reading comprehension problem, zoomer. Smaller prototypes can be fun to make, and I'm sure it was fun when he started making it, but do you really think it's fun to add QoL? Input remapping? Translations? Achievements?

If he really didn't make the game for others, with no expectation of a reward, he should've kept it to himself on his hard drive forever without ever releasing it.

Incels have this fantasy of women and what it's like to be in a long-term relationship with a woman in the same way that nodevs have this fantasy of games and what it's like to work on a high-quality high-passion serious game project. After you spend enough time with enough women, the magic is gone, and you'll see women for what they truly are. After you work long enough on enough games, the magic is also gone, and you'll see gamedev for what it truly is.

Do I hate women or gamedev? I would say: no. However, I'm realistic and see them for what they are.

Have sex and just like make game.

Ive seen good stomachs done with AI but I have no idea how to prompt it. And it's not like breasts or general body shape where I can go grab a lora to fix it. Then you have landmines like abs or male fat distribution patterns that's in AI slop all the time. The recession/groove between the aliac crest and rectus abdominal muscles makes me diamonds. But if you type that shit in nobody tagged something so clinical not once not ever. There's not even a "hip bones" lora which actually surprises me a little.

agdg doesn't know why a character walking on the level can take me 20 days to make.

End up explaining I basically remake from scratch a framework I memorized because every new godot project I remade the same codebase from scratch and from memory.

Basically the same framework I used in 2017 is the framework I use in 2025, but more polished after years of remaking it from scratch.

Spending enough time with women and games teach you that women indeed can smell bad and have mental breakdowns, and that games eventually drown in so much tech debt that you can't even bare to look at it anymore and just project hop.

Yes some but how many of these current one's would abandon "hobbies" like gamedev if it weren't for the validation they get online? Surely 10 friends irl would vinidicate them to work on it for 3 years, right? Of course not, most of these would go back to do whatever activities were popular pre internet popularity. Look at those youtubers that just do random "I made Mario 64 in Unreal!" Sahara desert that ocean of validation and this guy would likely not spend time on it as the only avenue left is releasing it, free or paid Nintendo would come after him and have the game taken down.

this is still very much in the concept stages but i do have some ideas in terms of plot and characters if anybody is interested
i dont know if showing off just concepts is a no-no without a proper game to show for it but i want to state for the record that this is for way far ahead in the future when ive actually learned how to do anything in terms of coding properly, if that

Trying out different fonts and bringing the gameboard into the main theme for panels. Not sure if I like the font, but it's easy to change. Definitely like the more streamlined game board.

Still need to add horn bets, and I'm done with all the major bets. Also at 30 special chips (Need a new name for these) which is a good feeling. Demo will have plenty of content at least.

Lads I'm feeling suicidal today. I'm a 30yo who's never accomplished anything due to being an anon neglected outcast.

Anyone out there kind enough to mentor me in enginedev lite? I found an engine I like that uses C# and ECS, but I'm not smart enough to be able to use it on my own. I would pay you my neetbucks aka my uni savings that I still have from when I dropped out after deaththreats. I just want to finally own something of my own.

Haven't posted here in a very long time since 4chan makes my depression worse usually.

I don't actually want to make an engine, I just want to use an engine that's not the big 4 (Unity, Unreal, Godot, Gamemaker). I want to do real programming and ECS. It would make me happy even if all I make is a text-adventure-like game or a pixel shit game.

There's 6 ways to roll a 7 on a set of dice. It's the name I'm sticking with until I think of a better one. Corny craps puns are a dime a dozen, and not very interesting.
This will hopefully intrigue people unfamiliar with craps, and rolls of the tongue well.

They're both shit that people have managed to make work through insane dedication.
Just want to do things the right way. I know an engine that has a successful game in it that if I knew how to adapt to my game ideas then it would work.

But I'm stuck in middling intermediate knowledge territory. I need a mentor to fasttrack me so I don't waste my entire life.

Honestly I would probably concede the engine thing if someone agreed to mentor me in Gamemaker or Godot though I'd still prefer it the other way. I've used Godot a lot and know many of its limitations + I find myself wasting time with things like themeing UI and animation instead of real code. Because once again doing real code in an engine or outside an engine is equally as hard, but an engine obscures it to a "beginner" like me.

think about the finite actions you can take with a controller
if you remove the continous aspect of time you end up with a much more limited space to explore in terms of gameplay
good turn-based games tend to offset this with a rich set of gameplay states / rules
bad turn-based games give you four dudes in a row with 3 possible actions each

It's about risk and reward and you can use a limited resource to turn odds into your favor. My goal is to have the same type of keybinds as P5 as opposed to tedious menuing in DQ11. The game will be 3D ofc.

you need to get some game design fundamentals looking at board games.

most board games actually are pretty simple and area about shit like getting the most items, getting the most score, coins, controlling territory, being the last player, getting first to a point, having the most of a certain element or card or token or worker, etc.

I just spent the last 2 hours opening and closing two different projects i started this week. It's time to take a break from gamedev. The agepill is hitting hard me thinks.

Project 1: I can't even get past the basic mechanics so maybe it's not even worth testing. It's a 4 niggas in a row combat but expanded on.

Project 2: Combat, Player Controller, Enemy. Tab target combat but single player.

The reason why I'm not stoked about either project is that both ideas are less reaction based. My goal is to make the player feel accomplished by barely coming out alive with a build they improvised. Webm is unrelated but it was a project i worked on a few months back.

>Dev is related to IronPineapple who made a video glazing the game that got millions of views. That's all there is to it.

I don't see a video on his channel about Fly Knight though?

And even if that were the case.. Are people really THIS big of sheep though? It's so god damned boring. It is an absolute slog to play through. The hit detection is god awful and it's one of the most repetitive games I've ever played. Even if a big youtuber glazed it surely these people would play it and realize how bad it sucks. Thank god I only have one boss fight left before the game is over.

The average manchild developer I think should grow their taste from anime and comics and dungeon and dragons, into a wider reach of more subtle and mature media.

There's some strong emotions games usually don't try to convey,

Have you ever wondered if a videogame trully meant something in your life?
A game that you still remember 20 years later?
A game that was something beyond SHOOT SHOOT KILL KILL KILL JUMP ON GOOMBA NAZI ZOMBIE COD FIFA SIMULATOR?

A game that made you realize a moral truth?
A game that you felt something beyond mere amusement?

Have you ever wondered if games can be something more than le funny jump man into goomba grind?

You have to define what combat really is.
"Combat" is a theme, not a game mechanic.
You could easily change the theme but keep the same game mechanics.

If you mean PVP combat then that's cheating because Player Intelligence is always more interesting than AI.

>Do you like responding quickly like QTEs?
>Do you like the directional aspect of dodging in Dark Souls, accidentally rolling the wrong way into an attack?
>Do you like memorizing combos and inputting them in quick succession like Fighting Games?
>Do you like enemies dynamically changing their strategies via State Trees?

Each one of these can be adapted in "non-combat" way.
"Combat" is just a go-to because it is an obvious representation of "Conflict."

Many such cases in MMORPGs like Runescape.
Dungeoneering/Roguelike as a minigame is much superior to Runescape.

Arcanes was a decent Worms clone.
And Miner Disturbance is a much much better Motherload that requires a lot more skill.

How do you guys do parallax scrolling for your 2D backgrounds? Like what's the fundamental? I can't fucking get it going

My thought was it'd be a foolproof system that could cover any room size, any background size, any camera size if I established the top of the background as the part that must be drawn when the camera is at the top of the room, and vicea versa for the bottom of the background/bottom of the room. Same thing for left and right.
Looking at just the horizontals here, If I then removed the camera's width from the equation, that would leave me with the amount of horizontal distance that the camera covers when moving all the way from left to right in the room.
If I then make it so that the background moves a proportional amount of distance whenever the camera does, I thought that would be perfect.
But no matter what I do I just can't get the background to move at all, it stays smack dab in the middle where the camera is
Shit's fucking frustrating

Sonic Advance & Jazz JackRabbit 2 & Super Metroid ironically.

Honestly making a horizontal racing game is simply retarded/handicapped, but having incompetent designers is an even bigger shitshow.
They had to add spindash to Sonic 2 to admit they're too retarded to design the levels and Sonic's controls accordingly to make him playable.
They wanted to make Pinball the Platformer while ironically Pinball controlled better.

How about fixing Sonic's abysmal lack of dexterity/acceleration which is the reason why he can get hit by a slow moving coconut or Eggman's retardedly easy bosses that require hidden damageboxes for you to ever get damaged?

Sonic actually starts behaving like a normal video game character when he gets his speed boots. He should have had them on at all times. The initial inertia form the speed boots actually enable you to dodge enemies properly.

The level design also doesn't lend well to racing characters like Sonic, it lends better to Megaman X with his walljumping.

There's a lesson to be learned about wasted level design. I've seen so much wasted level design in RPGs & MMORPGs it's criminal, it should be outlawed to be so wasteful with level design and waste so many assets behind a copyright for a tiny RPG nobody will ever play when those assets & level design could be used for something else.

normal sprite in the foreground:

if you are using a game engine that already moves the normal forground sprites around (unity/godot movable 2d camera) you can do some math
>automatic camera built into game engine:
>screen_position = world_position_for_engine_camera - camera_position + 0.5 * screen_size

>world_position_for_engine_camera = screen_position + camera_position - 0.5 * screen_size

>world_position_for_engine_camera = parallax_factor * (world_position - camera_position) + camera_position
you see this final equation
if parallax_factor is low, like 0.01,
it will take a tower that is a kilometer away and move it to just a few pixels away
and when you walk for two kilometers past the tower
the tower will now be a few pixels away on the other side

Hill Top without the spikes and invulnerable enemies.
Chemical Plant zone without the vertical water parts. You can try to do horizontal water parts if there's no obstacles in the way.
The racing vs mode should have been the entire game without that retarded switch powerup.

Like I said before: Sonic Advance meaning Freedom Planet 1
And make the levels all based off Emerald Hill but with 0 spikes cause that's the only level that behaves well for a racing character with Sonic's abysmally bad dexterity/handling/acceleration.

ofc they don't just say "just make a good game", but they definitely say "just make a good story, just make good graphics, just make good gameplay"

first time posting here, looking to get some guidance on what I should do next.

i finished most of the book "the C# players guide" to teach myself the basics of the language.
then I finished the essentials pathway on learn.unity.com to get an idea of how it works.

im ~1.5 hours in, watching codemonkey's 10 hour tutorial now on how to use unity, on youtube. seems like its going to be about building an overcooked knockoff.
just wanted some opinions on this.
is there something better i should go with to learn how to use unity and make games or is what im doing fine?

i'd recommend to write a very simple save/load system now. using things like [Serializable]
also create problems for yourself, like e.g. what if your character has a target object by reference. how will you save/load that reference?
i'd recommend to do that because when you do it now it's much less headache than trying to think about this when your project is complicated already.

If your game doesn't work on paper/tg/ then that's when your idea is bad and you should feel bad. Not when the engine and your dogshit programming abilities can't do justice to a good idea.

As an amateur, you get 0 support, attention, praise, resources etc. when you most need it but once you make it all that comes in spades. And yet so many guys who make it hit a massive sophomore slump and their productivity drops like a rock. Maybe it's scope creep & no deadlines but IMO it's because of the recognition. Being treated as a nobody by society while knowing you could make a game with 5k+ steam reviews just puts a weird feeling inside.

That's because "What's a good game to make?" is completely dependent on the skills and resources available to the person or people making it. A good game for me is not going to be the same as a good game for you. A good game for your favorite e-celebs is not going to be the same as a good game for a AA or AAA studio.

>>513871605
I tell the retards here to copy the gameplay of another game because game design is the hardest part of gamedev, but you can skip that by copying someone else's game. Just because you copy a good game doesn't mean you'll be making a good game. Your skills and resources are completely different from the dev(s) that made the game you're copying. It's just to make gamedev as easy as possible for yourself, which you absolutely need.

camera position - 2d camera position (usually very close to player position)

basically that final equation
>world_position_for_engine_camera = parallax_factor * (world_position - camera_position) + camera_position

Making games is how you learn to make games, reading or watching videos about making games is just you procrastinating, being a nodev and not making a game. You don't need more information you need to make game.

So it can't be a subjective definition, which means "good" games are not necessarily successful ones. Otherwise your arguments make absolutely 0 sense.

the problem of this thread is that you can make all sorts of claims and you don't have to share your game to prove your ideas are right.

i can literally claim the magic pill to become a yesdev is becoming asexual, because not being focused on sex will give you insave drive to focus on gamedev. how would you guys disprove me? other than asking me to show my results.

then i could find some asexual gamedev and tell you "see that dev is asexual, so you just need to be asexual".

the only valid advice people could give you is something like code that works, that you can type into your editor and see if it works.

That's because you /agdg/'s are a bunch of (numerous uninformative slurs followed by informative slurs) disinformative, contradicting disingenous antisocial hypocritical faggots.

A bunch of devs literally asked for the simplest things you could have helped them with; ideafagging and you told them to fuck off.

I see 0 game design documents in this thread.
I see 0 game developers working together as buddies besides "Hey here's my progress , also anyone got a tip that will help me with 1% of my game?"

Of course an antisocial is going to tell you "fuck off and learn by yourself by "actually making game" by yourself". Which in reality translates to; stop going to this useless general cause we don't know ourselves and the help you'll get here barely covers 0.1% of how much you actually have to learn and do by yourself.

basically in your level editor, give your background object a "world_position" and a "paralax_factor"
(you can also just give it a 3d world position and derive parallax_factor from the 3rd dimension, with a little trig)
before every frame draws, the background object gets moved to a temporary "world_position_for_engine_camera", so the camera sees it in the correct place

Good and bad are purely subjective. When I say "good game", it's not from the perspective of a consumer/gamer. This is a thread for gamedevs, so good and bad should be from the perspective of the producers.

Good from a gamedev's perspective should be a game that, without coping and gaslighting yourself, you're sincerely happy with the results of once you ship it, including how many sales, how positive are the reviews, and how popular of a reception it got. This takes into account how much time, effort, and money you put in. No one wants to toil away at a passion project for over ten thousand hours just to produce a game that doesn't even get played for a total of a few hundred hours when you add all the buyers' playtimes together.

No, you are wrong about this. A good game is a game that you would have fun playing and would prefer over an overwhelming abundance of other games. If your game doesn't meet that criteria then it was never going to make it in the first place, no matter how trend and algorithm optimized it is

make a dozen different games with a stack of standard 52 cards first
then make a dozen different games with a stack of index cards, where you write/draw your own cards
then make a small tower defense video game in 2 weeks. something like bloons TD 1 or 2
THEN you are allowed to even think about making a "tactics" game

can you guys help me collect failed games? i want to see what type of games fail. especially games that look somewhat decent.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2307170/Everwarder/

e.g. this one, i feel like it failed because it has basically no real "theme" other than being dark.

i can't even find a word for the environment or for the characters. like, it's just "dark" and that's it. and the environment is just "shapes".

also as an esl i don't even know what the title means.

I really do appreciate you putting in the effort anon, but I just don't understand. I don't think game maker has 3D camera positions like what you're doing and I don't know what the blue dot is actually signifying in your example (I think the centre of the camera's projected screen?) or what a 3x xyz is.

I think I'm just gonna get some sleep and come back to it tomorrow, it's making my head hurt, but like I said I do appreciate you sharing theory with me

A game you make for yourself to play is very very different from a game you can convince others to play. You know how to play it without the game telling you how to. You know all the lore and backstory without it being anywhere in the game. You know all the quirks and how to avoid buggy situations, but other players won't.

>>513873241
I'm not so low-T and emotionally fragile that I need to protect my own ego by gaslighting myself into thinking that a game that no one else liked is a good game. If I make a flop, I'm willing to admit to myself that I made a bad game, and that's okay.

Typo, I mean a virtual "3d XYZ" position for your background
Everything is a 2d position
You just scale it closer to the camera 2d position (center of screen) by a factor between 0 and 1 before drawing it

Basically
class Background
private 2d virtual_world_position //set at level editor, and never changes
private float paralax_factor
public draw(2d camera_position)
{
draw sprite at an XY in world space
and that drawing world space XY is.....

that game looks meaningless. like nothing in it looks like it has a premise that has meaning in the human context of existing.
no comedy, no interesting movement, no character relating to humans, no environment that relates to humans, no goal that relates to humans, no story that relates to humans.
it's almost impossible to self-insert there and find fun in that self-insertion.
it looks like a slow robot walking simulator while shooting a gun.

why do you need to prototype and have playtesters when other indie devs literally really 10000s of games that people playtest and review already and you can just see what works?
you literally have access to a giant studio full of devs who prototype and run playtests for you and you are the ceo who can analyze it all.

Simply by adding those hearts it shows that the main character is a romantic. Totally. Don't make him read books or give hugs cause then you overspecialize and only certain kinds of girls will lust over He-Man in robot form.

When did I ever say that I don't want to play my own game? My ideaguy list of games I want to make and play eventually has well over 100 games on it, but as a solodev, less than 10% of those are realistic in scope. Why don't you actually try making games for once? You'll understand that game ideas that are fun in your mind aren't actually as fun in playtesting, and some games that you thought wouldn't be as fun turn out to be insanely fun in playtesting.

Any braindead 10 year old can be a videogame ideaguy, you shouldn't need help with that. If you don't have a game in mind that you're trying to make why are you even here?

Game design documents are a retarded cargo cult concept that indies do because they see studios do it. You're not pitching your game to investors or studio executives here, nobody has to give you permission and greenlight your project, just fucking make it you retard.

>/agdg/ is the equivalent of a teacher throwing 5 books at you (they don't even do that) telling you to fuck off for 2 years and come back when you've learned.
You seem to have been institutionalised by the modern education system and are incapable of learning on your own. Nothing we say or do can ween you off the teat of structured education so if you can't do that for yourself then you're fucked. Also this isn't a school or a classroom. Why would you come here feeling entitled to being spoon-fed information. We told you what you need to do (make a game) and you seem to be doing everything you can to avoid doing that one thing. You're not owed anything, go make a game, or don't, nobody cares.

I'm being 100% serious.
The only thing I'm being sarcastic about is that you judged a game based off its look instead of its gameplay ... which again while understandable cause you got to market yourself somehow to stand out ... it also shows how shallow you are as a person.

I am now judging your merit and actual intelligence based off your analysis skills and I oblige you to show me an example where presentation is a trillion times more important than gameplay;

Sorry for answering this for you. Maybe you can find another example.

So practically Minecraft already had a GDD/working prototype which he copied. That's how games are made ... well that and creating GDDs/prototypes from abstract ideas and real life.

The problem with GDD writing is that anyone needs to ask about writing one has no clue what should go in one. Ideaguy drivel is not game design. Game design is like damage formulas and key-lock dungeon layouts, not a moodboard of some biomes.

ok so all I'm hearing is I don't need a GDD. I'm making a game based on other games I played too.

We assume that people already know what goes into a GDD and it isn't random mechanics without context that require more than 1 sentence to be explained and we assume that people understand that a purple prose book about explaining the atmosphere of the story, environment and character's backstory isn't gameplay ... you need actual level-design/gameplay to turn those abstract concepts into something ... such as a feeling of claustrophobia means you can create a labyrinth or make your character slow moving when attacking too much or when the lights turn on while ironically making him go faster when the lights turn off.

But I am assuming that people here areN'T special eds tabletoid consumer kiddies who just press a button to earn their peanut like the monkeys they are.

I can't believe this has to be said...

Anons we are holding a game design document jam/contest.

Anons you are absolutely fucking American spelling bee's level of pathetic.

This isn't a "Lol look how amazing our GDDs are" this is a "Prove you're not mentally defunct by writing an acceptable GDD"
I swear to God I am quitting from pandering and listening to any of you shmucks and going to greener pastures if /agdg/ can't even write an acceptable GDD.

>inb4 thread devolves into the American education system and how pathetic spelling bee contests are.

Ok so it's official we are starting 2 GDD jams;
1 is the pre-GDD where chucklefucks get told en masse how retarded they are for failing basic comprehension skills (which we'll rug under the carpet to not show how mentally retarded we all are)
and the 2nd will be the actual GDD jam full of easy to understand concepts which other gamedevs can create prototypes and possibly full-fledged games from.

Now who's offering to judge for the 1st game jam that's obviously going to have over a few hundred GDDs? who's willing to kill their own neurons?

Spelling bee's only happen in America because indeed Americans are illiterate. Germany & France have much harder languages than English and you don't see them doing spelling contests. Not even Britain does it.

It literally shows how mentally retarded Americans are that spelling your own words is worthy of a trophy.

notch was an avid player of infiniminer. he started working on minecraft after its source leaked. the unique things about minecraft come from infiniminer. a fully destructable/constructable procedurally generated voxel world where you mine. notch added basic crpg dungeon crawler shit ontop of it. the end
