Doom engine works across every platform known to man, has a fuck ton of documentation, an active community, tons of tools, tons of free to use assets.

The only draw back is that it might be illegal to commercially release a game that uses it.

It is the best engine for making first person games. Period.

An iso tactics game is definitely doable in Game Maker. Unity is ass, so you might be better off using GM.

Don't bother too much with tutorials and such, just like make game bit by bit until you've got all the parts, then put them together.

Just a question:

Since your sprites have no outlines, how do you handle the player blending into stuff that is of similar color. For example, how does the player blend when in front of the sky? Both are bright.

>>127284918
extremely.

Good question. It's trial and error mostly. But having a sprite with a few different regions of colors helps. The dark hair, white body, and skin colored... skin. But if something clashes too bad, you just have to change it until it looks alright.

How did you figure out your color palette? Every time I want to draw something I always forget to pick a palette. I WOULD use this:

...That is, if I remembered to use it. I always forget and end up just trying shit until something works. And if it doesn't work or it looks off, then I just go
Image > Adjustments, then move some sliders around in Hue/Saturation and/or Color Balance. It works I guess, but it feels lazy and disorganized.

I've never found a science to it. I've barely even found an art to it. For me it's just a matter of having an idea of what you want it to look like, then tweaking it and tweaking it until it resembles that.

If you're just working on sprites, try working in greyscale. That way, you will make sure that the values have contrast. Then go back in and add color value to it.

It is a real level. Of course, the most important thing is the design of the level, how it works and feels to move through. The graphics being busy is just superficial to that. I do see what you mean about it being cluttered, I've heard that elsewhere. I've done done some work to reduce that, but it's a bit of a balancing act between being sparse and being cluttered. And ultimately I'd prefer it to be more busy than sparse ;)

This was a really tough one to get working but it does finally. I'm thinking a lot of cool stuff can be done with this and I'll have an example of that tomorrow.

I agree with this man. That stuff looks so stupid to watch, how can you take the game seriously when everyone is hopping and spinning around like rabbits. It's turned me off from games like Quake.

How can we ever compete with the power of Rotatedev

I was once using a singleton. I was addicted, my game slowly became dependent on that one little thing and its marvelous ability to connect my stuff. But then I found Jesus and now I am completely singleton-free. Individual parts of my game can now be tested and it still works even if something else breaks a little.

You too can become singleton-free if only you let Christ into your heart.

Is there any sense in giving away a tricky-to-weight-paint model to a random online art community?
I'm sure they can be creative with it, and there must be someone out there that can get it to work, but I don't like giving away things knowing they might be faulty.

Why is UI so hard. Or rather, tedious. I'm using Gamemaker so I literally don't have to program anything, but this is getting so confusing and annoying trying to figure out how exactly I want the menus to work because there will be mulitple players and teams and gamepads and stuff, and then it takes like an hour just to get the 'Options' or 'Start Game' labels at the right position. Why can't I drag an image over to the room and give it a hyperlink to another room? No, you gotta do all this other shit that takes 10 hours.

Can't wait to start adding multiple resolution support. Oh boy. How would you even optimize on other systems? I have my computer so it works with my exact setup, but how will I know if the game crashes on launch for someone else?

welcome to programming, but really. make an object, make the sprite the image you have, make a simple collision checker for your mouse and inside the condition for clicking on it goto that room, it's not terribly difficult but if you're new to game maker that'd probably do it.

I'm not even a millennial but the millennials are getting handed a shitty economy and the global problems and traps that the previous generations lured them into, and now they're the ones expected to put up with it or fix it. You want to blame someone, blame the Baby Boomers for stealing from the Greatest Generation and shafting their children. Of course they could get jobs when they were younger, their economy was fixed by their parents and college was cheaper. But greed keeps them from sharing with their children, so now you have these younger people who won't have social security and will have to work way past retirement age just to pay of their college bills while the Baby Boomers get to live in comfort, not having needed college just to be mediocre. The world is not the same as it was 10 or 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 years ago. Stop pretending things have always been the same, you've just given up, that's all. there's no reason why younger generations need to put up with this shit.

Trying to use a few different types of dungeon generation algorithm for my game. Fucked around and came up with some random-ass algorithm that made room-and-hallways based dungeon floors to go along with cave and arena floors.

Does the squares version look too fucked for a roguelike floor or nah?

gamedev is very different from all other things because you have few different expertise that you need to make a game

humans usually don't master more than 2-3 important skills throughout their lives, sure maybe they can juggle through some more but my point is that if one aspect is stronger than another than why force yourself to finish it, you are just going against human nature and human ability and keep banging your head against the wall

tl;dr those who stick to 1ma will quickly realize it, tho who won't will take a significant amount of time to finish something or keep banging their head against the wall

so I drew out a diagram to help explain the issue
in monogame when you flip a sprite it keeps the location vector at the top left corner, so how do I flip the sprite and mirror the rotation and location given only the original location and rotation?
it flips it in place, but for the sake of the image I figured it was clearer this way
what sort of translation should I do to find where the new location vector should be?
the rotation is just mirrored on the x axis, right?
please help

Don't reply to those people, there's a small group that will shitpost about engines all the time. They post about how you have to make an engine purely from scratch if you want to make a true game. And will call any already made engine a shitty meme. So it's best to ignore them.

I was thinking more like an underground military / laboratory base with experiments that were abandoned and escaped to roam the halls, but that's cool too. I'm more concerned with the make-up of the levels at this point. It's not really close to the traditional:

Room --hall---Room

Layout. But I still think it looks kind of cool..not sure if I should scrap it and go back to trying to do a traditional layout.

Coming to this thread only to read the same shitposting and the same individuals shitting it up again and again is starting to get annoying. Really.

>>127293332
Eat whatever as long as it's low carb and no sugar.

gaise is it fair to expect every pc player to have a gamepad ?

>>127293101
Not him, but how do you not eat when you're hungry? I can work out and run till I can barely turn my neck or until I can barely walk, yet I don't have the discipline to stick to a diet or even measure my meals. I think mostly because I hear stories about a lot of certain diets being actually unhealthy. I'm more worried about making sure I get proper nutrition rather than forcing myself to scarf down chicken and spinach and nothing else. I'm pretty good at not stuffing my face 24/7, but I will always have that annoying gut since I'm not totally strict.

>>127293448

I notice this now and before, people here like to learn and implement algorithms, which I love. I have gone through the learning processing of reading tutorials on algorithms and it can be hard + time consuming. I've done it before where I create some helpful guides but I want to make it into a once a week kinda thing. Once a week I will produce a guide on a topic from most voted to least. The guide is up to what you guys want. Written, video, source code, demo... What do you like to learn form?

Why ? im serious. Everybody does have some gamepad around!

>>127293585
>if everyone had a superior gaming controller, everyone would be using an inferior platform
I don't see the correlation

>>127293448
Assume every player has a keyboard and mouse and possibly a steam controller

>>127293940
The question of whether everyone has a gamepad or not isn't even important, what's important is that if you're asking this it means you have no intention of letting people remap the controls, which is sickening.

>>127294241

i dont think asking for a gamepad means no remapping of buttons. Or did i miss some law change ?

>>127294276
KB+M doesn't have enough analog input though
Any game that requires precise movement becomes a major task of twitch timing instead of learning a natural movement. With a joystick, instead of releasing the button at a very precise moment you can smooth out by slowly releasing the joystick and adjust during the movement

A pro and con of a keyboard is that it has a lot more input, which can is bloat in a lot of games

Mouse is a lot more precise for shooting and other targeting tasks, though

>>127294356
Microsoft now mandates all games to have the Xbox One controller to be hardcoded in.

>>127294356
If the player can remap controls then it doesn't matter. Unless you go out of your way to disallow keyboard input, then I will resurrect you for a second ending.

>>127294506
>windows 10

>>127294506
My game is linux only

>>127294514
my game has keyboard input but practically speaking it looks like most people can't press enough keys at the same time to fit two snes controllers on one keyboard so if you want local co-op you _need_ a gamepad
I'm not willing to dumb down my controls for this

>>127294629
It was really great arguing with you, I've learned a lot about the topic we were discussing

>>127293448
No. I always hated people not letting me even remap the sticks, so one of the things I want to do in my game is make everything remappable. Some of us grew up playing Goldeneye and Turok and N64, it sucks being a 'disabled gamer'. And then making a PC game without PC controls...well...I wouldn't do that if I were you.

How would you design a game without levelling (without experience points)? How would puny humans defeat a mighty Balor? Only with incredible magical items? And then still lots of timing and tactics.
Please give your thoughts.

the body doesn't run on magic bro, you're constantly doing all of the above at varying rates depending on your exercise and eating habits. You can't possibly run at a deficit for any significant period of time without changing the fat stores in your body. It's constantly fluctuating. This boils down to very simple math, which is why we have the nifty calorie unit

>>127289485
Can't you just make objects for all the images that just have a single on-click function, then click and drag those? Doesn't seem hard if that's all you need.

>>127294680
In this case, just leave it. I'm pretty sure you can plug two keyboards into a computer and if your players are trying to play local co-op on a single keyboard it's honestly their fault if it doesn't work.

>>127294887
No, I meant modern games not including Goldeneye and Turok and Perfect Dark's default controls. Deus Ex Human Revolution, Mass Effect , the first Bioshock, a lot of old shooters on original Xbox and Xbox 360, they forced you to look and turn with different sticks, or could only use left stick to move and right stick to aim. I could pretty much only play Gears of War, Halo, COD, BF4, Perfect Dark the main big shooters, but all the smaller third party games were hell.

Not even Battlefield Bad Company or Bad Company 2 could let me play left-handed without messing something up. Borderlands 1 had the option, but I was stuck using left trigger to shoot, and right trigger to aim. I'm right handed too, so my controls are all alien to everyone, even my own family lol. They will never understand, but they played the same games too so it doesn't make any sense. I guess they just adapted. I still beat them at everything though so it's not like my setup doesn't work.

Thank god for Inputmapper on PC though. It's a godsend and now I can actually play Fallout New Vegas the way I played it on consoles. I'm definitely going back to play the games I missed out on, like the original Bioshock and Mass Effect 1. And it won't need to be on easy mode this time.

Does anyone else sometimes wonder if they're creating complete garbage but they don't know enough about game design to even realize their game is bad? I'll be playing my game and thinking everything is coming together nicely, but then I'll think "What if I'm CWC and this game is my Sonichu?"

It's not bait. It's the game I'm making based off of the gay romance novel I wrote.

For a small JRPG-inspired game: 2D "platformer" view, or top down? Side view would potentially mean less assets to create since directional movement becomes limited, but I feel like the feeling of exploration and expansiveness is limited as well. Top-down would seem like the traditional approach, but requires more assets per character and a little more work in general. What do you guys think?

the only way to find out is to show your work to others If you've done that and still feel that way after getting praise then you have normal-ass impostor syndrome
