>What makes you want to drop it?
X to win fights that only take time with notbing remotely difficult or interesting about them, insane side quest kill counts (dozen of Grandogoos etc.), uninteresting plot, BRAINDEAD PUZZLES THAT TAKE AWAY CONTROL AND PAN THE CAMERA ON EVERY ACTION, and no usual Neps far enough in the game to make their absence uncomfortable.

>>8628
The first two sound like SvS. That puzzle camera does sound pretty shit and annoying.
I was already missing Neptune and the other goddesses when they were absent in SvS, so it sounds like I will not like this game much myself.

>The first two sound like SvS. That puzzle camera does sound pretty shit and annoying.
Quests were much more tolerable in SVS than they are in GMRE.

>>8631
That does not bode well. Last time I was on I had two quests that required items that seem to barely ever drop. Just gave up on them eventually. Not like I need the shares from quest completion anyway, or whatever the reward was.

>>8632
SvS had two or three annoying quests in the mid game. 
GMRE, on the other hand, doesn't wait to give you some really annoying quests. "kill X enemies", for example. It takes quite some time to run across the map to find the enemy you're looking for... and it takes even more to kill X of them because you have to wait for respawns.
There's always Nepbike to help you traverse the mob spawn locations but:
1) Nepbike is kind of clunky to ride
2) You will bump into unwanted encounters when riding this thing in narrow dungeons sooner or later

To update on this, I've done a lot of work on the programming side adding saves and also making it so players can't savescum on gambles. I also have been working on a tilemap system so that players warp between separate maps and the maps they return to are the same as they left them. Been updating graphics as well; I still use AI, but with how advanced things are getting, it's been more and more on me to figure things out. More mini games too

I'm finally starting to get back to this, but I don't even know how to make my textures not be upside-down anymore. I'm literally flipping the texture's pixel data vertically before giving them to OpenGL, and the texture flips horizontally instead. I'm so tired that I can't even put it into words. I'm considering just giving up on GPUs entirely and making a software rendered game, and keeping the resolution low enough that it performs acceptably.

>>2223
Okay. A lot of my struggles have come from the fact that OpenGL textures and coordinate systems are upside-down and I'm trying to flip it. I've tried simple ways to flip, but it never works correctly because when you use a frame buffer, the frame buffer is upside-down too and thus inverts all the flipping logic, so I'm forced to try more complicated methods.

But I just realized that, unless I'm mistaken, if I pretend that the coordinates on everything are "top-left is 0,0" without actually flipping anything, then everything will always work perfectly except for being upside down. I just need to flip the screen once at the very end when the game has been fully rendered.

I just removed the Y flipping/inverting logic from textures and shaders and vertex buffers and sprite instances and everything, and everything fell into place. I'm not drawing onto a frame buffer yet though, I'm not 100% sure if the result flips every time I draw onto one, but I think it won't.

>>2226
Sounds like good news, then.

I've come to a very enlightening conclusion on gamedev and it's really improved my outlook on how successful my game will be. It's based on the idea that most people (90% or more) involved in gamedev are idiots. These are the people that are permanently stuck in tutorial hell/decision paralysis instead of actually making something and getting hands-on experience, trust fund kiddos that do nothing but throw money at third-worlders on Fiverr and Upwork and say "make my game for me" then get really mad when none of it looks good or plays well, people that don't understand why their totally unique match-3 puzzle game with pastel colors only sold two copies, one of which was refunded, or people that actually have a good game but only decided to start marketing weeks before release with some halfassed reddit posts and nobody knows it exists.
So when you read articles like "Most games on Steam never make a profit" it seems demoralizing at first, but when you look a bit deeper you realize that most games released on Steam are asset flips, AI garbage, puzzle games, or games that otherwise had zero effort put into their development or marketing. The few remaining games are ones that actually had effort and thought put into them and are doing pretty well.
With all this in mind, if your game is:
>unique
>fun to play
>looks good
>has a modest amount of mar

>>2222
The vast majority of people are retarded. There's nothing surprising about that, but it's hard to internalize just how far-reaching consequences that has, other people's retardation can warp your perception of reality. Most people really have no idea what they're doing or talking about, and lack even the most basic ability to interpret the world around them or their own actions and their consequences.

As long as you care about making a good game, succeed in making it, and don't completely fuck up the content that is visible on your store page, it will probably find success automatically thanks to Steam's algorithm and word of mouth. You only "need" marketing if your game is ok but not great, or if your game is garbage that relies on meme streamer appeal or virality to make anyone care about it.

In hindsight, growing up with:
- infinite free emulated video games
- infinite free Flash games and animations
- wide cultural expectations of filesharing for music and movies
- the intersection of good video games made by white dudes
- geeks running the internet and having fun
was pretty much perfect.

I don't want to get lost in reminiscing, so I'll just say that the abundance of digital media and internet preservation have made it easier than ever to see how boring and lame things are. The only thing The Powers That Be have going for them is cultural inertia, and they've been digging up the corpses of 80s toy lines at an alarming rate. It can't last forever, and if we're willing to make new stuff ourselves then it'll stand out.

>any tips for better dreams?

Try keeping a dream diary. Even if you can only remember tiny details and jot down snatches of half remembered dreams, over time your recall and their intensity will improve. Have been doing this for years myself, and it's interesting to go back over dreams from several months ago to see how they develop with time and your own situation in life.

If lucid dreaming is what you're after, would highly recommend reading picrel as a starter. Has some excellent techniques for inducing them, and how to prolong the lucid state.

Pippa has been on a roll lately making fun of games that try to railroad your decisions by playing them satirically. It just brings into perspective how if a game forces a 'correct' decision, then nothing matters when you play the game.

Why don't vtubers have their own websites? They just keep things on social media and don't bother with having spare content on an actual site.

>>2328
While I'm asking dumb questions, why do vtubers say "Mm" or "yeah-yeah-yeah" so much? I know it's a filler, but it's such a WEIRD filler in casual English. I'm used to hearing, "Like"/"Um"/"I mean"/"OK"/"Actually"/"Really"/"Right?"/etc.. My guess is that it's a pullover filler from Japanese, is that right?

>>2328
Easier to have a 'brand' than it is to have a business in this climate.
>>2330
Not just filler, dead space is a problem for other media as well (can't have it). Podcasts use software that trims a bit of the dead air but vtubers must be padding for show length and doing this instead. I can't say I hate it, I'm guilty of padding conversation in real life until something important needs to be said.
