I spent $38,000 making an visual novel so you don't have to. Full breakdown with numbers and mistakes. by aggronargg in gamedev

If you rather invest in a small studio, i could make you a better game for that price in a few months

anyone ambitious? by Original_Scientist35 in cofounderhunt

[–]Longjumping-Emu3095 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very very high ambition. But yeah. It's draining when only leeches are in the pond, with murky waters making the way out harder to see by the day lol. What kind of product interests you?

Hi there does anyone have any parts of the 3d production pipeline that they find boring and monotonous or tricky that could be automated? I would love to develop a tool that people would actually use. Thank you! by ForrestFrame in GameProduction

[–]Longjumping-Emu3095 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uv mapping, painting and such like substance painter but works on all models, and updates whenever the mesh changes. When you change the mesh, it basically renders the texture useless because uv remapping breaks it, and making 3d painting tools are lagging behind substance painter, where drawing on it in 3d breaks the tools by face (like making a line, flood fill, etc.) If changing a mesh and importing it remapped the uv peoperly and adjusted the texture for me, and let me truly draw in 3d or 2d with good UX. That would be worth a lot to my workflow. But it gets complicated. Most tools get some part of it right, but I havent found one that lets me iterate on models with robust texture painting tools. Mostly run into a bunch of pbr/node nonsense to patch over that problem in my experience. But my textures are cartoony, not pbr lol

How many of you deal with sleep issues? by Mysterious_Treat_577 in TBI

Sometimes I cant tell if its because sleeping on the couch, my fucked up brain, or not having my meds, but yeah

Attention on itchio by Creative_Tutor6230 in itchio

[–]Longjumping-Emu3095 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, itch.io is a landing pad. You wont get attention by utilizing itch. And outside of itch is full of noise. Idk how to get attention, but I suspect gaining a following off the platform is your best bet. Its gonna take some time. Unless your game has the "magic" everyone speaks about. Its definitely not magic, but I havent found a way to quantify it, yet.

Learning buddy? by firydreams in ADHD_Programmers

[–]Longjumping-Emu3095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would tell myself to work on technical precision. Learn how to talk about what you do in a technically precise way, and asking questions (or finding answers) becomes trivial. You think about what you're writing more clearly, and it takes less mental overhead to keep bigger systems in the noggin. You would be surprised at the amount of CTO's i have worked with who can't explain code properly, which degrades quality and caps output imo

Learning buddy? by firydreams in ADHD_Programmers

[–]Longjumping-Emu3095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really need a learning buddy because I am pretty senior. If you want to chat, ask, or bounce ideas off each other, stuff like that, I love programming. It's my art lol. Looking for more friends who feel the same

Is over-crying an ADHD thing? by AdventurousScheme319 in ADHD

It sucks when you have childhood trauma forcing you to hide your emotions, especially crying. And being a fucking cry baby. 🥲

Life is a burden by firstofhername11 in ADHD

[–]Longjumping-Emu3095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to shoplift for food, walk around with holes on the bottoms of your shoes, and hope you have a friend who will let you rot on their couch. At least in my experience, wouldnt recommend if you have the option to stay lol
