>>127466706
Programming anything that isn't directly related to the game but still needs to be done so that you can continue gamedeving.

>>127466706
"enginedevving" - Developing an engine. As this is not "Mechanical/Electrical Engineering General - M/EEG", it refers to Video Game Engines.

You should tell people about the thing you're selling.

>>127467396
Could be worse...

You could be Googum

>>127467174
An engine could be a tool, but in that case I'd rather call it an SDK

Hopefully none of us are SDKdevs, or at least we get paid to do it for a company

>>127467396
its actually very easy to set something up, maybe we should or someone should set up a site for people looking for groups.

>>127466506

I would have included waifus if the game was funded

Stop using "waifu" to mean "girl" even if they're just for fanservice.

Waifus are in the eye of the husbando.

Any advice for an aspiring game Dev?

No, please put the shield down by default. I played Link's Awakening first so I liked having a separate button to block, especially because it let's me strafe an enemy with ranged attacks instead of turning around when I need to move away which leaves my back exposed. Link to the Past fucked it up by having the shield up by default. I hated that and it's why I never finished the game. Also, can you put a swing on the sword so that it starts pointing at 12 o clock and then swipes down to 9 o clock? I can already see shit like bats and ghosts flying at you and not being able to defend yourself from their aerial attacks. Good lord Link to the Past pissed me off so much. How does a gameboy game get it right while an snes game with more power and resources somehow screws up the combat system?

>Pseudo-Companies

>There is a strange obsession with creating game companies in the GameMaker community. New users are often guilty of this more than anyone else. You don’t need to create a logo, or a business name, or assemble a team of people you’ll never end up using (seek help only when you need it, team requests should be used sparingly). Don’t create a shoddy website for a non-existent, unregistered gaming company. Don’t put obnoxious trademarks on your software. If you want an identity associated with your work, use your username or your real name. Or how about linking to a YouTube channel where you can post videos of your game when it’s out?

>In a nutshell, splash screens and bogus company names don’t make you look credible. Since most people abandon their GameMaker projects and teams, it’s best to leave any business details for later – and only if you plan to stick to it and produce more software. And if you want to protect your work legally and freely, copyright can instantly be applied to your work. You can also use a free Creative Commons license, if your game is freeware or open-source. As for trademarks, you don’t need them.

Why would anyone hire some random coder when they can hire actual graduates with degrees?
Problem solving in programming is an expected basic, the other really important part is being able to work in a team and produce friendly code.
There's no such thing as "impressive code", being able to code a complex AI is an absolute minimum, what's desired is clean readable reusable code that keeps a convention, doesn't needlessly alter state, doesn't leak, etc etc.

>making a mobile game

like I said, serious issues

>>127473740
And my point is even iterating through contiguous memory can rape the cache if not done properly

>>127473762
Make priority be influenced by distance to player, as well. If two enemies of the same kind are the same distance from the player then they may a well both go desu senpai.

>>127473762
make a director who monitors the fight and sends in shit if there's room

>>127473456
create a mob AI that controls all the individual mob entities, assigning priority to the closest and then pushing it to the end of the queue

>>127473852
it was a strawman
if your thing can run well on potato systems, you can't worry more about bigger systems

>>127473928
ah, yes

>>127473456
It's turn based? Roll for initiative, distribute their delay as interval time for one single turn / number of combatants.
E.g. 2000ms / 6 mobs = 333ms
mob 1 attacks at 333ms
mob 2 attacks at 666ms
etc.

>>127473393
>>127473489
Draw calls specifically, I mean, but that's part of graphics fidelity I guess

It's unlikely that draw calls will be the bottleneck in an indie game, since simple graphics mean easy instancing and batching and whatnot, but it's easy to make cache misses build up even if you're just doing the same behaviour a lot of times

>>127473928
False sharing can be overcome, whereas non-contiguous storage will always thrash the cache

>>127473625
I didn't do that, I just made a class that contains a single vector and provides an interface which replicates the behavior of a twodimensional vector, because the data I want to store in the second dimension of vectors is usually smaller than the vector class that contains them and because as I said, it's a gigantic list which might accumulate to a half a gigabyte in size.
But I really just wanted to know whether there's a good reason not to make gigantic vectors like that.

Several search algorithms rely on RNG to avoid local maxima, you dummy

>>127474434
Okay that's not dumb at all, good job.
It's fine to make giant vectors if you need all that memory at once and if the user has enough RAM

Making games for your career only applies if you want to do, say, game design, since art degrees are a fucking joke. But programming is a different beast. I would even go as far as saying making impressive shader demos would be miles better than making regular games.

what about the virtue of self teaching?

thing with graduates is that you can't really know for sure what they are made of and how much training they're gonna need
on the other side, if this guy has been doing shit alone, and impressive shit, you know he can handle himself and can adapt to the company

>>127474921
Sounds like a hash table, the secondary lists for items with the same hash

But that doesn't really explain why it's so big, because either the objects are large and owned by the hash table and the size overhead of std::vector is negligible, or the objects are tiny or only pointed to, in which case the hash table itself is way too large

>>127475743
Too repetitive for my taste but alright for a first attempt.

Hey, just in case you asswipes are interested, HeartBeast's udemy course on making a platformer in Game Maker Studio (which is free) is on sale for $10 right now when it's usually literally $159. No idea when the sale ends, but I already got it. Goes through the basics of using the program, uses 100% scripting and none of the other actions, so you know you'll get a grounding in GML, and is careful to teach proper terms and make concepts like inheritance clear.

I'm not finished with it, so it might fall off. Dunno. But if you were considering buying it at the full price for some stupid reason, do yourself a favor and do it now. Or if you just think it sounds cool.

>implying

>>127475832
In any non shit university you need to teach yourself a lot of stuff, so I don't know what you're trying to imply. Sure there's the usual guy that weaseled his way into the degree, but you can discard him with a simple fizzbuzz or similar.
The problem is also that CS is a meme degree that focuses on research and is mostly irrelevant for practical applications, what you want is software engineers.
Another thing is, "impressive shit done by oneself" barely exists because most problems have been solved for decades, the bulk of programming is just designing subsystem interactions in a nice way. I've worked with a few of "self taught programmers" and a lot of their shit needs to be completely rewritten because it's unreadable. Some can't even handle big codebases because they are so used to actually writing all the code they work with themselves. Sure they are great for prototyping, but that's about it.

>>127479405
Looking good, anon. You should make a blog to post updates for this.

aggy daggies, I'm using Unity/C#

I'm destroying an object and I'm spawning a prefab clone of it.

My problem is that in the script attached to the prefab, there are two references to values in 2 other scripts. In the newly spawned clone, they are not linked to those scripts/objects.

How can I use GetComponent/gameobject.find to do so?

I've been googling this shit for two days but I just can't get the syntax correct.

Please help.

>>127480098
If the other scripts are also on the prefab it should keep the proper reference to the new instance components.
If you are trying to reference other gameobjects:

GameManager gm = FindObjectOfType<GameManager>();

or

Camera previewCamera = GameObject.Find("CharPreviewCamera").GetComponent<Camera>();

>>127478683
Is that a red panda or a racoon?

Trying to create my own Solid generic object to be a parent to floors and ceilings in my game. Using gamemaker. I had floors working but now I'm trying to test with ceilings and I'm having some issues with the character falling through the floor after contacting a ceiling. I'm pretty sure what is happening is the character is failing a collision check in one step, but by the next step the character intersecting with the solid. I had a solution involving changing the y position at the beginning of a step by 1 until the player was no longer intersecting with the ceiling, but it appears that this causes them to fall through the floor on the way back down. Should I tie this interaction to the v-speed so that they don't fall through floors? Once that's fixed how do I make the character not get stuck in the ground on the way down.

Hey guys I'm ShillFaggot from ShillGames!
I've been here for 9 years but I never posted.

By the way, my game, Fable V is coming out on Xbox next week! We're really happy with how our nothing went. You can check out some footage on youtube, twitter, twitch and you can read our interview on IGN!

what is this game eventually going to be?

One useful thing is to open up a previous version of the project, and Export whatever object I need. It comes out as a .unitypackage or .unityasset or something, and then can be unpacked into the newer project. Helpful when "something happens" and my prefab loses all its references/editor-assigned values
