educational cell biology game. You play as a single celled organism and micromanage the insides of the organism (organelles, protein complexes) in order to get things done. We'll make assets using the protein data bank and the final result will be a mix of mechanics we take from city builders, rts games and colony sims.
My first two attempts taught me a lot and now I'm ready to buckle down and make it for real.

It's kind of interesting, but very vague at the same time. You're starting with a theme and attempting to pigeonhole game mechanics. Not every theme can become a game. Have you tried making a GDD which explicitly lays out every gameplay mechanic and the gameplay implications behind each mechanic? IMO, there's no way it turns out to be fun. As a game, it's unintuitive and overly complicated.

>city builders, rts games and colony sims
Each of those genres have very specific gameplay structures that make them work. Mixing and matching mechanics doesn't automatically produce a reasonable game. Have you considered turning this into a incremental? That could be more reasonable.

Game design is really hard. If you have a very specific game that you want to start from like this CellCraft game, that makes it 10x easier. A collab can't work if the requirements are too vague. "Copy an existing game exactly" is way easier than just some vague idea. I highly doubt that game is scientifically accurate. It most likely favors reasonable and fun gameplay over scientific accuracy.

The white character model appears to be stuck, potentially because the navigable area (navmesh) has not been generated correctly or is blocked by an obstacle. Here are some suggestions to troubleshoot and potentially fix this kind of problem:
Visualize the Navmesh. Most game engines allow you to display the navigation mesh (often a green overlay) using a debug view. This will show the actual areas where the AI agent is allowed to walk. Check Obstacles. Ensure that walls and other non-walkable objects are correctly marked as solids or obstacles, and that the pathfinding agent is set to avoid them.

this is just a cutesy automation game.
It's missing the story/setting of being Santa having to meet a deadline by Christmas every year, which would really be the key selling point.
Maybe make it so some machines are powered by magic and magic is powered by Christmas cheer and you have less of it to draw on if you don't make enough presents, and are rewarded with more magic resource if you do well.
Have random events that change every year like a baby boom, demand for certain types of toys (that need different resources and production lines), etc.

I feel like there's an element of /agdg/ culture that shames devs into sticking to the same project way longer than they should. e.g., We say "where is you're game" and "post game" as if a developer is supposed to have just one singular game. As a whodev chronic project hopper, I don't really have "a game" to post: just a mountain of abandoned prototypes and various tech demos, and I know I'm not the only one like this. However, I feel like guys like myself are much closer to assembling a good game out of all these parts and workflows than most "one game" developer, minus maybe a few.

project hopping is great if and only if you're playtesting these prototypes with people irl or where you can see a recording of them streaming it with face cam. You need to test your ideas, and the only real way to do that is playtesting. You can't entirely trust your own taste. The only way to know if you've struck gold is if you see most playtesters have genuine interest and positive reaction towards your game, and especially if they keep bugging you afterwards about updates or wanting to play more.
Most anons here have a forever project they continue to be attached to and put all their efforts towards despite it getting poor reception. Some haven't even playtested. Some haven't even coded anything and are just here to shitpost.

Cope, you just can't afford a good camera.

I just ask chatGPT because everyone ruined Melee.
You don't just spam bro...I'm one of the best players and I don't dashdance or wavedash or ledge hog I do high damage KOs like Sakurai intended.
It's in the Melee tutorial, Mario does a complex high risk meteor smash while every Mario player just spams back A.
All air moves in Melee are overused. I use my B moves in the air because it sets up a cool looking combo with different techniques. I don't run and hide and "punish" or tech chase spamming the same move, it's extremely ugly and unaesthetic gameplay that can be overcome with mere reaction times. If you're gonna spam you're predictable. Niggas just try to spam so fast you literally can't even react in time, they aren't aiming or trying to outwit their opponent with clever, unpredictable movement because they rely on spam to win, not skill.
Thought about doing tournaments and winning with my proper method of fighting cause I own on slippi, but I think I'd rather just make a better game. I'm tired of being the sole owner of this philosophy in my country. I don't have time to play against based Japanese appreciator's of Sakurai's work.
I'm just going to have to force the world around me to change using the power of intelligence, not people.

Realistic or le hecking reddit good graphics are not more artistic per se. In some senses you can attribute the realism from oil paintings into skil but from a true artists perspective beauty is in the eye of the beholder, creativity and imagination matter more than copying something well.

I built my models in roblox using their block, wedge and cylinder primitives but I want to swap to Unity, is it best to convert each gun into a single mesh or could these primitives maybe become unity primitives? Right now when I convert them to Unity it creates a unique mesh for every former roblox primitive and I was hoping for something more performant considering I have almost 100 weapons. I'm a noob in everything but roblox so I appreciate any help.

This. You erase it and try again, with game design you can't even try until you figure it out in the first place, there's no throwing yourself against the wall and improving endlessly, takes a vision and willingness to reach it through total comprehension without falter.

easy for him to say after $100M. he hasn't been tested by failure.
or maybe he had been. like he tried to find a job after getting his CS degree, couldn't, and then gave up. it was a fortunate decision in his (very special, hugely outlying) case, but if he were a never-give-up kind of guy he'd have kept trying to find a job.

Just drop the art part and like, make a game. Use simple shapes

>the same thing has dozens of videos, addons that handle the entire thing by itself, etc... but for unity

man, halfway through my 3D game i'm regretting my engine choice more and more. godot seemed easier to learn because of gdscript, but then you have to be the sole nigga trailblazing something because it hasn't been done on the engine yet...
best part? if i actually spend a year trying to do this on my own some indian will just pilfer my code as soon as i release because godot doesn't protect it either.

i'm turning this into a r*guelite and then enginehopping.

Didn't answer the question but maybe around 200 reviews week 1.

In case you missed yesterday, it was supposed to air on the 20th but my co-director (who is both animator and editor on our verdict show) let it fall to the wayside so we bumped it four days to make it before Christmas.

As for why it was in December at all is because I felt that originally having one show in June and one in November was too close together. So I made is push it to Christmas time.i really should where a blog post or something detailing how fucked up production was this time around. We're debating on doing a director commentary.

>>550936495
Very cool concept, I hope he can successfully execute it with appropriate quality and quantity of content.
This is what indie games should be about IMO, experimental gameplay that you would never see in big budget games. It's not like any of the things in his game are wholly unique, typing to move, or even Arthurian robots have been done before, but he combined them in a way that feels very novel.

What I want is closer to a mugen group fight.
You select a list of 6 anime wifis, then they engage in a template story, but they behave like a simulation of DF (spatially) only that it will have some VN dialogs between the npcs.

So the game will calculate a relationship score based on their DNA stats, which would indicate their relationship if friendly or hostile to the other npcs.

Then a simulation of events and days based on a kinda story about being stranded in a random island, like LOST will happen.

This story template will trigger a bunch of random events based on the group relationship stats and events are triggered if a girl has a certain trait.

Then the narrative conflict is represented with a roguelike fight.
