New Gamedev thread. This is thread is only for people who have deved something. Don't post in this thread if you're just an idea bro who has never deved anything in their life.

The engines:
>Unreal
>Unity
>Godot
>Cocos
>etc.

Go pickup one of these engines and start deving. My advice is don't ever get too caught up with reinventing the wheel if your goal is gamedev. Even people who want to "develop their own engine" are using a million frameworks. If you're developing a 3D game, you're going to use a preexisting graphics engine instead of developing one yourself because that would be pointless. You are not going to improve on the graphics engines developed by 1000s of engineers smarter than yourself. It's a lot of advanced trigonometry, I foolishly bought a graphics programming book when I was young and dumb and overly ambitious. There's no point to it.

So basically every game engine works fundamentally in the exact same way. The only difference might be more in the realm of performance handling, but unless you're like a computer genius, that's not even relevant to you. Unreal gives you full access to the source code. If you're so smart you can decipher it and modify it to your heart's content. I recommend real. I'm no programming whiz, but what actually counts:GAMEPLAY PROGRAMMING is very intuitive. It's very easy. If you can write out the rules for a board game, you could easily write those same rules out in code. That's how simple and intuitive gameplay programming is.

First time posting, just found this board, I'm making a coop shooter about shooting an occupying state yay.
Can anyone educate me on this board? I read the history but is it growing? should it be? Will normal people think I'm based or cringe for posting here?

>>47625
It's a tiny board. If you post good work in progress, it's not cringe, no matter where you post it. If you post shitty work in progress you can cancel the cringe simply by acknowledging the shitty state it is in.

>>47626
I mean my initial reaction, or rather, expectation would be it's a board where no one is a loser and everyone has girlfriends or whatever but if you think there is some cringe particle here I'd like to know more.
Today I worked on POM bullet holes

>>47625
board has been stagnant for a while but it should be growing because you can actually talk to sane people about politics here unlike basicaly anywhere else. plus we have some side boards like this one.

>>44989
voxels are largely an overhyped meme. they definitely have use cases, especially for stuff like what minecraft does, but replacing entity models with voxels is wildly non-performant

there are games where they fit and games where they don't and also objects that benefit from it and objects that don't

have you seen this?

I usually support workers but everyone working for 343 Industries or Microsoft needs to be shot immediately post-revolution without any trial or time wasting procedures. Microsoft for the abomination that they call the Windows operating system, and 343 for blowing through billions of dollars over 15 years making shitty games.

>>46979 cod has been slop since fucking black ops 2, but at least games up until cold war had a spine to them and criticized the industrial complex and warmongering, now it's just "hurr hurr let's fight the commies" without a hint of irony or anything, it's mind-numbing garbage made for people like tectone

CoD has been abysmal dogshit post BO2 and its "narrative" took a straight nose dive after Cod 4. I mean, the campaigns for the most part are just over the top schlock and literally is the 1/3rd of the game literally no one cares about. Its like watching porn for the story. Its literally "operator culture" capshit that won't even last a few years of relevance due to being an online only game for the 2/3rds ppl actually give a shit about multiplayer and zombies.

>>47620
COD 4 had a shit campaign as well.
>DURR WE MUST INVADE THE MIDDLE EAST BECAUSE…ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES IS ALLIED TO RUSSIA
>WE NEED TO INFILTRATE INTO RUSSIA AND INTERVENE IN THEIR CIVIL WAR BECAUSE…WE JUST DO OK????
in retrospect everything to do with ukraine was predicted by cod4 in the sense that westoids are retarded and incapable of stopping their governments and special forces from constantly fucking up other countries

>Also every single CoD villain is basically in the right. Their grievances against the US and NATO are more than justified, but the writers always throw in some “let’s nuke New York” plot point to make them irredeemable.
yes this is the standard trick with all liberal fiction.

Ken Levine lost a Twitter argument to the woke crowd and tried to fix Daisy with retcons through the Burial At Sea DLCs. After Israel is destroyed we'll spare him for being one of the good ones willing to accept constructive criticism. Also his next game (Judas) seems like a spiritual successor to his Bioshock stuff but on a much more expansive/immersive sim scale like Prey, so I'm rooting for it to succeed.

Legacy of the Chinareich Edition

The other one filled up again so I might as well recreate it. For all those interested this is the big thread for all your Hearts of Iron 4 and modding related content, mostly modding because let's be real nobody plays vanilla anymore. Specifically alternate history. From Kaiserreich to The Fire Rises, mods from this shoddy game set in alternate timelines seem to really do numbers. And create serial killers.

So most recently the latest update from vanilla broke every mod's nation selection screen. You simply hate to see it

require context also i only know this retard tried to defend bokoen1 and had a personal vendetta for a TGWR mod that was trolling

>>47595
>>47603
why would you require context, it's pretty obvious this guy is the issue just based on that post alone

>>47604
yeah ive seen the pics and i swear to god a nobody trolls him and he get pissy and make posts about he is being harassed, i probably was banned for saying bokoen1 ban was deserved.

>also i only know this retard tried to defend bokoen1
What bokoen1 said is surely an unrealistic ( had operation unthinkable happened, Red Army would probably be in Paris, the only 2 advantages of Allied militaries would be fighter aircraft count and early nuclear weaponry ) and of course entails a mass slaughter fantasy. But lowk it didn't deserve a permanent ban cuz it is fundementally not very different than a german guy telling the french guy how they crushed them and won in WWII. Bokoen1 just wants his liberal worldview to be dominant under whatever means possible, just like every political movement really… humans do fight for their abstract valuations.



 

What do you think about the word "gamer"? What do you think about people who calls themselves "gamers"? And do you consider yourself one?

>>47597
I don't play games anymore unless its re4 og

I'm too busy making my own project

File: 1786673293582-9.png (1.11 MB, 828x821, original.png)

I mean you can call someone that reads books a reader, but being a reader isn't seen as in-of-itself an identity like people seem to treat being a gamer as.

I'm only a gamer in-so-far as I play videogames regularly (in bursts but those bursts come pretty consistently) and enjoy seeing them made and played by others, but It's something that only applies to me while I'm engaging with the medium directly / semi-directly.

>>47597
>people
What class are they? What mode of production has produced their atomized social relations and their rejection of class consciousness?
> do you consider yourself one?
There's nothing wrong with being a consumer, but gamers believe in the virtue ethics of consumption as if they are fine craftsmen. They are proud of being the best at sitting inside all day and being a seething degenerate like Asmongold or Hasan. Their belief in "getting good" at games like Dark Souls reflects the neoliberal imperative to "make rational choices so you don't die homeless in the street by failing to jump through the hoops of the healthcare industry". The ideal capitalist subject

>>47600
Readers in that sense are called bookworms.



 

yall have any good general game recs? I feel like im stuck on cs2 nd cant find anything else that brings me joy and im in an empty loop of queuing and losing (currently on a 5 game loss streak)

>Timesplitters
I played Timesplitters 2 when it came out and I have no idea why people like it. Very arcady mid-tier shooter.
Let me remind you that in the same year came Battlefield 1942, Morrowind and Hitman 2, so it wasnt a technical issue. Some damn good games came out that year and Timesplitters 2 is just bleh.

Found this upcoming game called Hypernet explorer. Don’t know where else to put it.

>>47519
>Very arcady mid-tier shooter.
High tier arcady shooter. Time splitters 2 was and still is peak.
>>47514
It’s true

>>47506
Just play Doom 1 and 2 and a few custom campaigns you won't want to play any other FPS games again.

Are there any modern games that actually get the cyberpunk aesthetic right?

Cyberpunk 2077 looks pretty great during the night cycle, but during the day it becomes clear and sunny and looks more like gritty Futurama than cyberpunk.
2 posts omitted.

there's a LUT mod for cyberpunk 2077 or whatever that lets you tone down saturation which makes it look a lot like your third image and less like los angeles. in fact cyberpunk 2077 is hands down the best rendering of a cyberpunk city ever made for a video game, too bad the game itself is so fucking shit.

File: 1783468852424-2-2.jpg (295.2 KB, 1920x1080, cloudpunk.jpg)

Cloudpunk is really the only game i've seen capture cyberpunk urban sprawl/arcology at anywhere near the correct scale. The sequel is going to be a lifesim, and largely ditch the voxel graphics, so it could either turn out great or completely disappointing in that aspect.

>>47361
pure kino

low bit depth retro colour palette in this game, very grey and concrete levels but they also had these sunny dirty grassy areas in syndicate (1993), doesn't have the neon design and 3d lighting aesthetic of cloudpunk.

>>47361
this is how Bukharin's USSR would look like right now if stalinoids had not ruined everything



 

We should organize a date and time where we all hop on a game for a couple of hours. I know how to run TF2 servers and have experience running one. If there's anybody who is more confident in running a tf2 server, then be our guest.
<MAGGOT SPACING
We should also discuss gamerules (allow crits? don't allow crits? add this plugin? dont add this plugin? etc,etcetc)
<MAGGOT SPACING
If this thread gets enough interest with multiple anons wanting to participate then it's a deal. AND WE SHOULD MAKE THE MOST OF IT!
<MAGGOT SPACING

My proposed dates for when this could happen:
07/25 - 18:30 EDT (UTC-4)
07/26 - 18:40 EDT (UTC-4)

Anyone still playing the game? For me swiftplay kinda saved it. Only fun mode to play right now, wish they would just return twisted treeline.
What champs and modes do you guys prefer?

Anyway, alk about the game

Suprised they changed core game so much it would warrant existance of classic mode.

lol is bourgeois and dota is proletarian and the fact that there isn't a dotag tells you everything you need to know about this place
