Proggy.
Added a new weapon(s): The crossbow dualies.
Has double the fire rate of the bow but half the damage and projectile speed.
I also replaced the water textures and added distortion to the shader so it looks more natural.

Added charging animation for when you charge the ball into a power ball.
There's a flash when you charge the ball so I thought I was going to have to add a bunch of new particle for the different power ball types, but I realised the hit flash was exactly what I wanted so I can just reuse that.

I've been getting one daily answer out of Claude Sonnet for free for the last couple of weeks and I was about to pay up today, but do you think Codex is a better option?
Why?

what devs think gamers should want: a game you just make, without overthinking, without being a perfectionist, scoped with limited content, with a practical art style

what gamers really want: a game that is perfect, well thought-through, with tons of content, with high detail photorealistic 3D models

File: proof.jpg (143.2 KB)

>>563719067
codex with 5.4 very high thinking is better than opus max, AND you get like x3 the usage you would get with sonnet high, it's night and day, but you can't use anything above 5.2 if you don't pay

^plus they have a $7 plan so you don't have to spend the full 20$ to test it

My company pays for it. The other IT team has zero visibility into how many tokens I burn in OpenAI teams, and accounting doesn’t give a shit they’re too busy processing million dollar invoices to think twice about a few hundred bucks on OpenAI. Life is good.

balatro normalized glorifying slop
"hehe it makes me addicted, this means it's really good"
"the dev really spent a lot of effort making it stimulating with ui effects etc. this means it's really good because it makes me addicted hehe"

telling me that i'm too much of a boomer to enjoy it, is like telling me i'm too much of a boomer to enjoy heroin.

somehow people started making brainrot sound like a good thing. i mean gambling is literally the most soulless way of gamedesign possible.

this all wouldn't bother me so much if it wouldn't cause all gamedevs trying to make slop now too. as if it's some sort of trend to make the sloppiest slop possible. i'm not the target audience for equivalent of heroin.

worst thing is those heroin junkies think it's me having a problem. they look at me with their crack eyes and rotten teeth and think it's my problem for not enjoying life in their sloppy dopamine world they created.

After every cultural push, a counter-cultural push follows.
People today look at Dark Souls and say "well actually it's not that hard of a game I dunno what the big deal was with it" but the reason it exploded in popularity in the early 2010's is because at the time the industry was turning EXTREMELY casual. There was this saying going around treated as universal truth by game designers "if the player sees a game over screen that's the developer's fault". It was a time when "infinite regenerating health" became the norm for FPS games, action games became God of War-likes with "spam square to win", tutorials and handholding out of the ass for every little thing, etc. Some players were of course getting frustrated, and then Dark Souls came (well Demon Souls first but it wasn't even sold in the west initially) whose gameplay was really reminiscent of the old, harsh and unforgiving games from back in the day, that punished the player severely and didn't hold their hand. And of course people loved it, because they were sick and tired of all the casual garbage dumped by the industry at the time. Which is why ironically if a game like Dark Souls was released 10 years earlier (with graphics matching that time period) it probably wouldn't have become so popular, because people the people of those times were already used to difficult games.

In the same vein, people will get sick of gamblingcore games eventually, the question is: when that time comes will you be ready to capitalize on the opportunity and offer them an escape from that?

i feel like old mmorpgs and even stuff like pokemon basically taught you how to become successful in life. it taught you all the basic lessons:
a) only pick enemies at your level to level up, if you pick enemies to hard for you you just die and even lose experience points (yes old mmorpgs make you lose xp on death) -> only work on stuff that is at your skill level or you make no progress
b) grind (thats how work works) -> do the same stuff over and over to get big
c) find a guild to powerlevel you (nepotism is key to success) -> getting help from higher level people levels you up way faster
d) work in a team to achieve things you can't achieve alone -> work in a team
e) pick a role and stick with it (healer, mage, tank etc.) -> pick a skill and master it, work together with people who master other skills
f) follow a linear progression instead of just aimlessly wandering around the world -> similar to picking goals at your skill level and not jumping ahead - also not overcomplicating it

Had Dark Souls come out in early 2000s it would have been incredibly mid and likely very jank. If you've played Blade of Darkness or Enclave or other games like that from that era you know how jank they are. I mean souls has a fair bit of jank even as they are but they would have been quite a lot worse had they released earlier. I can see it having a dedicated audience but it would have been niche sort of like the Kings Field series and spinoffs are.

Gambling is just a reward mechanims in the toolbox of game design.

Claiming that skinner boxes and dice roll slop is bad, is like claiming that sugar and shit like honey should be banned from cooking recipes, because le american food is garbage with chemical sugar.

im not against gamba. i just think those two games opened the floodgates of the most mobile-tier slop ever.

i've never seen such a wave of trendchasing uninspired slop in my life.

miziziz is a good example of a small-game dev that actually tries with weird unique ideas. hes in it for the love of the game, and u can see that with his projects. these new games are not like that.

>>563728987
trend chasing is not unique to videogames.

the real million dollar game is the one that sets the trend.

>Claiming that skinner boxes and dice roll slop is bad
Skinner box is by definition bad, at least the conventional used meaning by people. It is the "eating sugar by the spoonful straight from the jar" of your food analogy. As opposed to say making a carrot cake with a lot of fiber that's slower to digest and doesn't instantly trigger insulin and dopamine receptors in your mouth like plain sugar does.

>>563729232
how hard can an inventory system be

one thing that fascinates me about trend-chasing is how close-minded it makes people. it turns a world of infinite possibilities into a finite one. and "finite" isn't even the right word, it's "singular".
it narrows down the space of possibilities to one idea only.

you could argue that it makes you completely blind.

you're so hopeful that the pendulum will swing back but if you actually zoom out, and look at gaming trends in general, you'll see that the casualisation of the 2000s-2010s has only progressed further into the slopification of today.
you're forgetting that at least 2 generations have now been raised on shitty mobile slop games and roblox who think that skinner box design, microtransactions and gamba are perfectly fine and are now buying games.
we literally have one of those retards in this very thread.
if you want an analogy, look at television i suppose. it effectively killed reading, and while critical circles of television did appear, the concept itself of "rotting infront of the telly" did not disappear, it metamorphosed into something more horrid which is doomscrolling on tiktok.

Cheating makes you more goal oriented and gives you a taste of what ambition can give you, lying teaches you theory of mind because you must assume someone else's perspective to know what you must lie about to get away with it. Failing to get away with it teaches you the consequences and makes you more socially aware.

I am extending Node so I should have Position and Scale available but I don't. Looking at the definition of Node in the SDK does not show the properties either but all the tutorials I look at does it this way.
I believe the problem is the SDK setup, because that shit just seems error prone to me. I got VSCodium running and installed the C# Tools For Godot extension, but VSCodium does not recognize properties of Godot objects, neither by intellisense or when I try to play from the Godot editor.

Helped a neighbor clean out their garage and got some delicious chocolate cake. Made coffee to provide a nice bitter contrast to the cake's sweetness.
140 days left, I owe 5 full days of work to my game. Spent the entire day yesterday making glacial progress on a UI element but it's almost done. Today I have to recreate my project for reasons, which is another one of those things that makes games take such a long time to make. I'm at 1100 hours in so far on this one and it's a sequel to one of my previous games and shares a lot of its code and assets. Things are not going well...

seeing thomas brush talking to jeff vogel makes me almost angry. constantly trying to push the idea that gamers want dumb short games. constantly obsessing over money. it's almost like trying to peer pressure jeff into doing less work and producing more slop because the indie sloppers all agreed to feeding slop because its easier to make money doing that. this whole anti-work ethic, this whole anti-intelligence ethic, anti-effort, anti-value. i get where its coming from. but man something about it rubs me the wrong way. it's like believing you have to be a shit developer making shit and making sure its as shit as possible. and then wondering why your game doesn't sell lmao.
i'd sell it's well deserved. if you glorify being a shit developer, then have fun getting filtered by the market.
and constantly referring to balatro and schedule 1 (games that actually took 2+ years of honest effort), wont change the fact that the other 100k slop titles all fail with that mindset.

Your engine almost certainly has a way for you to add invisible occluders for culling purposes if that's what you're going for. If you mean occlude as in clipping, then I think you're wanting the stencil buffer, not the depth buffer.
