New to AI world: How good are 3D modeling AIs?

Hi everyone ^^

I wanted to hire some artists to create some 3D custom models for our game... but they cost a lot and cannot afford it

Any suggestions about this topic? I'm afraid that AI 3D models may have some serious issues, especially if they need to be animated (but I may be wrong)

ER Convergence: what do you think of this mod?

Hi everyone! ^^

I've finished several runs in ER and wanted to try something new

I'd like a total overhaul mod, something that makes it almost like a second blind run and found the Convergence Mod

Are there any better mods for a total overhaul?

I like the Convergence so far, but it's quite close to the original experience: what I'd like to find is something like the DS3 Archthrones

Sono un Game Director senza alcuna esperienza se non 20 anni di gaming alle spalle e quasi 500 titoli terminati... chiedetemi quello che volete!

Ciao a tutti, sperando di non ricevere ondate di insulti per l'essere un Director senza studi specifici alle spalle (ho studiato informatica e sistemistica, diploma senza laurea), voglio parlare con voi della mia situazione attuale

Non è un ruolo che ho scelto ma qualcosa che mi sono "ritrovato a essere": ho avuto un'idea e delle persone hanno iniziato a credere in quell'idea, e solo io ne avevo una visione chiara e completa

Così, tra collaboratori retribuiti e collaboratori volontari, ormai sviluppiamo da quasi 2 annetti
Talvolta non mi sento all'altezza del mio ruolo, eppure i collaboratori continuano a credere in me e nelle mie idee; l'esperienza da gamer finora sta bastando, ma la mia paura è che un domani non sarà più sufficiente

Grazie a tutti per gli spunti di conversazione e riflessione che mi offrirete!

Aiuti in Italia per Developer Indie?

Ciao a tutti! Sono un indie gamedev italiano che collabora con un piccolo team composto all'80% da italiani e mi chiedevo se in Italia esistessero delle opportunità per studi di sviluppo indie italiani (finanziamenti a fondo perduto, eventi o cose del genere)

Grazie a tutti per le risposte! ^^

Slow/Tactical Soulslikes or Frenetic/Dynamic Soulslikes? Why?

I see new Soulslikes coming out are *usually* faster than "old school" Soulslikes, is the genre changing somehow? What do you like the most and why?

I personally rather a more tactical feeling, where strategy matters more than being fast
(Examples of what I like: FromSoftware's Souls, Lies of P, etc)

Would you like a 3D Soulslike set in a Cyberpunk setting?

Is that Medieval setting that important to you?

Do you feel you could enjoy a Soulslike even without Dragons and Swords?

Hi everyone

I'm a gamedev making an indie soulslike and I wanted to understand how much important are online features in soulslike games for you

Due to the indie nature of our project, we may not be able to add an online component to our game (both Coop and PvP), and we wanted to understand how important that's for you

We may add it if we'll reach proper sales, but we don't think it will be a D1 feature

Thanks for your answers!

I really wanted my game to have custom models, but due to high pricing in 3D art, I think I will need to find a way to create a GRAPHICAL asset flip

Sad because that's what I wanted to avoid (at least, mechanics we have are 100% handmade by us)

Do you think that asset flipping graphics is a problem?

How did you deal with that part?

Thanks everyone! ^^

Making a TPS Soulslike... this is what our market analysis told us

Data Report:

  • Souls-like games have been constantly growing in numbers since 2016
  • Exploded in higher amounts in 2021 and beyond:
    • Pushed by the hype and appreciation of the public towards Elden Ring
  • 1,572 total Souls-like games released, in 10 years
  • Only 42 are to be considered as market successes
  • Most of the unsuccessful titles must address a great lack of reviews indicating:
    • Inability to attract gamers’ attention through marketing

Improper development and resulting issues (game perceived as unpolished, janky, unoriginal)

[...]

Data Report:

Both games are still played today looking at the last 24 hours player count peaks: 632 and 1,695

Forse non i pareri più popolari di sempre

Ok lo ammetto, troppi giochi che amo da condensare in troppo poco spazio >.<

Ora, con queste info, quanti anni potrei avere?

In quante categorie mi insulti e perchè? xD
