Как же мощно! Спасибо 🧶

Can you give us the project from GitHub? :(

Why can't I hear anything?:(

Brutal. I can't complain about the "gross income" which was like 100fold the revenue of these games. But I can, and will complain about the 30% tax, and 30% STEAM take on top of the 5-8% refunds. That is the one and only thing I still hate about STEAM. They take far too much from indie developers.

i have millions for marketing now where do I spend it ??

Simple, but making a separate animation script for each facing direction invites inconsistency issues. And you're also coupling your animation system with a scripting system.

This is exactly why I stopped developing games and chose something else to do with my spare time. I developed games for about 10 years in my spare time. I made about $5000 of profit in those years. Sounds like a nice extra, but that doesn't include buying equipment needed to develop the games, hardware and software. In the end it's a lot of time spent for little profit. It's a lot of fun though and it taught me many good skills. I moved from game development to art, using a number of the skills acquired over the years and building on them. I'm now making more profit in one year than I did in those 10 years and that's with all the real costs deducted. For me game development was a stepping stone to something much better. Who knows what it eventually will bring for you.

Don't forget the taxes at 15.3% before the IRS throws you in Federal Pound you in the ass facility.

actually good breakdown for once. nice

As solo devs, I think it's important to be harsh with ourselves and ask why should I buy this game? What does my game bring to the table that other similar games don't? If there are hundreds of similar games made by bigger teams with bigger budgets, then the game is likely to be of lower quality, and the customer would rather buy the higher quality product.

tank you

Super helpful video. More people should know about this!!!

in hte past in whatever 2006 till 2013 i made a lot of music for fun .. only paid me like 200 dollar.. ... I tell this because i got lucky i dont have to work because of parents and stuff but life is hardcore. Someone who learn a bit and become dentis make lik 200k a year just doing what they love.. makes no sense doesnt it I gotr lucky i get a base income too

Hey! I made $0.23 for the 2 weeks. That is sad story...If some wants know more about how to make money with games - just let me know)))

I cant find the "spatialAudioPlayer3D" is my Nodes, is it like an addon?

thx

i think is more because you make games about stuff people dont care much

!🐛BUG ALERT🐛! The video version contains a bug where if the audio player is a child of something that rotates then it will not update the RaycastPlayer correctly. To fix the bug remove the RaycastPlayer from the node and ready function and then use the following _on_update_lowpass_filter function: func _on_update_lowpass_filter(_player : Node3D): if _lowpass_filter != null: var query = PhysicsRayQueryParameters3D.create(self.global_position,self.global_position + (_player.global_position - self.global_position).normalized() * max_raycast_distance, $RaycastForward.get_collision_mask()) var space_state = get_world_3d().direct_space_state var result = space_state.intersect_ray(query) var lowpass_cutoff = 20000 #init to a value where nothing gets cutoff if !result.is_empty(): var ray_distance = self.global_position.distance_to(result["position"]) var distance_to_player = self.global_position.distance_to(_player.global_position) var wall_to_player_ratio = ray_distance / max(distance_to_player,0.001) if ray_distance < distance_to_player: lowpass_cutoff = wall_lowpass_cutoff_amount * wall_to_player_ratio _target_lowpass_cutoff = lowpass_cutoff Alternatively you can view/download the fixed code here: www.patreon.com/posts/98559205 (its free)

3:39 "Z80 was used in many TI calculators" and then shows a TI-89 which uses a 68000 CPU 😅

This is kind of inspiring for me. I am working on a 3d game in Godot, where the player plays as a dolphin. It focuses on how they use sound for nearly everything. I wanted to implement a system similar to the GSound demo posted here on UA-cam. I thought that I was going to have to write a custom audio server. But this gives me hope that I won't have to.

fyi the lerps here are actually creating a first order lowpass filter (or smoothing filter), or an exponential moving average. it's similar to the filter you're using on the audio, but at a much lower cutoff frequency, and smoothing whatever values instead of audio

Damn this is SICK, i found this tuto so useful as a starting point but other than adding more rays (like each diagonal for xy xz and zy planes and evey diagonal inbetween) i have no clue on how ot improve it further. Doy ou know other effects other than the two you showed so that i might get my hands on them? or do you plan on expanding this example?

Love the breakdowns, maybe next time you can also show how much you make from the UA-cam vids? Would be very insightful!

Hats off to you for keeping at it.

God damn it - you deserve better. My recommendation is to make something "stupid" and funny again. I think people prefer ugly and funny games that are made on purpose instead of games that try to look good but only copy mechanics (like that cat tower defense). Make a spinoff of Beardy McStrongarm in Multiplayer where his friend Baldy McLongfoot joins the adventure and they together can transform into a Megabeard McKickass super character where each player controls one part of the body xD

hey if its not too much trouble do you mind me asking what is your full time job. also maybe in the future you can do a video about how you manage time for game dev with a full time job. to tell the truth it is something that i struggle a lot. love your content and i wish you best of luck and courage to work on your up coming release.

u need to focus on the graphics u need a unique artstyle so the veiwer can buy the game

I just make a layer, put it at the very top of the layer list, manually set its depth to like -100,000, use that layer for the stuff i want to *always* be above the player, and call it a day lol. Because the depth = -bbox_bottom doesnt "ignore" the layer set up. Its just changing your player (objects) to basically always have a negative depth, which by default, the lowest depth layer is 0. Just need to manually set the following layer to 0 so it doesnt auto change it and the rest of the layers to go along with the new -100,000 layer (which im sure you knew that and was just speaking casually)

Have you partnered with any publishers? Do you do free marketing using social media?

Losses? No thanks. Negative profits? Much better.

That was a really cool breakdown of all your games. It was nice to see all of the stats and updates on games from previous years. I don't think I've seen an indie dev do such a thurough breakdown before, and that was nice to see. I think it was a much more realisitic peak behind the curtains for a lot of indie devs compared to the bigger indie dev youtubers who often make a lot from their games. I really like the art and style for Okashi Towers, keep up the good work.

Help, why does this happen):. Out of bounds get index '10' (on base: 'Array')

This is something I have thought about a lot. Thanks for making a video on it!

Great tutorial! Im glad i saw this on the internet today

Amazing tutorial, thanks! Any chance you'll be uploading this code anywhere, or making it into a Godot plugin?

Great tutorial. The effect is very good. The main thing I did differently when following is using ray cast queries instead of individual ray cast nodes. This allows the node to be added just like any other regular node. The only other thing I had to change when doing this is when I emitted the ray cast, I would have to add the current global position to the direction I wanted to emit.

Really high quality video

woah thanks blekoh this is actually something that will super improve a game I'm working on 👍 people really don't realize how much of a difference good sound design makes

can you solo kiro 2?

I bet your last game made way more by now. it looks very well made! thank you for the numbers, I'm just at the begining and it's scares me how difficult it is

Hey man, good luck. You'll keep improving, and eventually, you can live off making games (if that is your goal IDK). Your last game is a clear improvement.

1:20 ma boi's about to cry... LMFAO, It's atleast a cool game dude. don't worry

I am gonna be brutaly honest. It is awesome you are taking a leap of faith and actually finishing games, and they are pretty cool! But for the level of quality the price points are WAY too high. You are selling a game for half of hollow knight which is a crazy, gigantic, amazingly polished game in every aspect. Maybe try to focus on polishing more so it looks more like a high end product, or try getting numbers by making the games way cheaper, like mobile game companies do! I do NOT mean to be rude, I am legit trying to help with my opinion! Good luck on ur journey!

I love the graphics. Music sounds fine too. I am not sure about RTS + Tower Defense combination and how it all got integrated with story. While it looks like was made with quality and I can see it, it also has appeal, I rather see it as a mini game than big release. I would pay half to feel good about buying this kind of game. As for the rest of functionalities, I am not sure how much went to make multiplayer and map editor but I definitely would recommend focusing on foundation first and adding further additions as time goes (if there will be audience for it). Still, big respect, subscribed, wish you the best on your journey.

100% appreciate the look behind the curtains at the Sales and Costs. Thank you!

Going to leave some brutal honesty here as I think that is the most helpful thing for indie game developers with promise. I hope you don't take this as negative because I only wish the best. I think your latest game is a huge step forward in art direction compared to your other games. Your other games look very amateur. Beardy McStrongarm looks like a first game, your sequel games with the commands lack even the most basic polish so they really don't appeal at all. The main character art/animations look like they took an hour if even. This game looks way way better. I was really surprised with how much better it looked. The limited pallet idea was great. However, it just doesn't look like a fun or interesting game to play. Tower defence is over saturated. It looks like you put a spin on it but it just doesn't appeal much. I think you have huge potential to make a winner though. The art looks super promising. I think people would love to play other types of games in this style. I think the number one thing that would help you make a successful game is prototyping. for your next game I think you should create 20 or so game ideas. Some should be very simple. Like really simple, with a clear game loop and some spin on an idea. Then actually block out and prototype the feel of 3 or 4 of them. Establish the game loop with no art as quickly as possible to see what feels like the most fun to play. Make the one that feels the most fun. Avoiding giant games like indie devs who attempt to make open world is important and avoiding the most common games like tower defence, platformers and stuff with rounds/score without interesting twists to that genre is also important. All of the idea stuff is easier said than done of course. I think your prospects of making a success are great though. Good luck!

Congratulations, your game looks pretty big, but you've made it to launch! BTW the art is so cute

yay! congrats 🤗💖
