/agdg/ - Amateur Game Devvy Doo

lolidev did literally nothing wrong

Reminder to add unskippable animations for actions that are done often. This will help pad out your game's playtime.

Example:

Pick up item - 1 second pick up animation
Open door - 1-2 second door open animation (you could increase this in tense games by making the door open slower)
Death - 3 second death animation, 3 second fade out/menu fade in time, 3 second score add-up time, then 1 second "restart" button fade in
Loading - Add an extra 5 seconds to the loading time even if it's already loaded

Those should help get you started with making your game longer

Progress: Got some more maths right and did the unit tests for them. Next up is making it all efficient.

After will work on my ECS system a bit more. Kinda hard to work it out without adding singletons, though. Then I should be done with my engine and finally get to do the art. Been reading up on loomis and learning heaps.

is this why jrpgs take so long to finish?

in smt iv you had to use an elevator or something a lot and there was like a 10 second animation every time

>>128523716
this is something i'm worried about. making an adventure or rpg game you'd want at least 8 hours worth of gameplay. when you think about it, that's a shitload of content to make.

Make a game you like about things you like. Post a demo on V or VG and hope it gains traction from there.

You know your getting some form of traction when people naturally want to share your demo without you saying or they start waifu-ing your characters/requesting drawing of them in draw threads or on Tumblr/Fur-affintiy/DeviantArt/Etc.

The most important thing about the first step is praying that the things you like or find entertaining is the thing everyone else feels the same way about. And if not, how you can present it in a way someone who wouldnt, would like it.

>Raycasting is a very useful and powerful tool available on the physics engine. It allows us to fire a ray on a certain direction with a certain length and it will let us know if it hit something.
>This however, is an expensive operation
>expensive operation
What the fuck? Literally all Unity users will tell you to use raycasting for ground checking for performances and then you're telling me that it's expensive??

>Raycasting against a mesh collider is really expensive.
You've got to be kidding.

>>128527598
Oh god another unity tutorial babby.
How long till you start posting your shitty rolling sphere videos?

>>128527598
expensive is relative
you can fire alot of rays per frame and it will still take a barely measurable amount of time
just do what they say and if it drops your framerate to 1/3 go do something else

>>128527598
Firing a couple of rays per frame for ground checking isnt going to hurt

>just do what they say
They're not consistent about what they say 90% of the time which is why I was complaining. Yet another thing that I'll have to test by myself, you just really can't trust those fuckers for anything in their own goddamn engine.

imagine if you actually knew how raycasting worked! then you would be able to make informed decisions based on your own knowledge instead of relying on a tutorial to tell you whats happening

Do I need to learn and get a good grasp on opengl with 3d stuff before I can apply it to 2d games which I want to make?
I want to use it for cool lighting and effects and just more control in games I make but I'm not interested in 3d at all

>>128528283
Lots of different ones
The most popular are
3d: unity and unreal
2d: gamemaker, with construct 2d pretty far behind
2d has "frameworks" as well that do less work for you than an engine does, such as love2d or XNA or haxelflixel

usually 2d is strongly recommended for beginners

>>128531752

If a game is good, I'll keep it, but it's no easy task making a 2 hour good game.

Try making your game 2:30 that why they can't refund.

LISTEN UP YOU PRIMITIVE SCREWHEADS!

This is a collection of random shit I've done in game maker over the years. It is my firm conviction that beginners, or some of the more braindead retards on here, should look through this as there's a bunch of content and tricks to using game maker that I've accrued over the years. Off the top of my head, there are:
- dialogue boxes
- perfect platforming mechanics (and simple too)
- stealth mechanics
- top down shooter gameplay
- various implementations of inventories (array-based, object-based)
- about 1/4 of a decent puzzle platformer (called Phil.exe)
- a random level generator that saves rooms from 1 game maker file to a folder, then in another file collects those cells into a 100-cell (or something) grid
- other procedurally generated content
- a hamfisted extremely basic raycasting proof of concept using the 2D drawing functions of GML (extremely slow)
- art assets you can use
- tile based collision detection (vs. object-and-sprite based collision detection that you'd normally use)
there's a readme file with a couple of other things in there as well.

the sounds that play when you open chest, win a battle/lose a battle etc are from a 99€ loop bundle by EastWest
everything else in the game is still 11/10 music though, it's just those little sounds were really good at building atmosphere
I suppose it doesn't really matter, I just won't be able to play it the same way again without thinking "stock sound" when i open a chest
I always thought a genious like him just hired an orchestra and wrote those effects himself or something

>>128533748
The chest opening sounds and such? that's the thing, they literally are, they are live recorded orchestra loops
the songs in the game are a combination of older DAW and live singers and stuff though
the sound is probably because it's like 1990s surround mics or something

Need an opinion on a system for a standard RTS attacking mechanic.

I'm trying to implement a War3/Dota style Orb/UAM/On hit effect when a projectile collides with a target though I can't seem to come to a good conclusion for how to implement it for a networked game.

Right now what I've got are functions within the base unit class to handle each individual on hit effect's debuff though I feel like this is silly as it leaves me with a giant if-else or switch-case tree.

Since the game is multiplayer I'm limiting myself to 32 debuffs by using an int as a bit array (so like a value of 7 is 0b111 which the code would read as the first 3 debuffs being active simultaneously on the object).

I'm wondering if there's a way to avoid the if-else or switch-case tree entirely or optionally pull the on hit debuffs from another class entirely.

Like what I've got now for example just seems colossally retarded even though it works.

networking arrays is a huge pain in the ass though since they need to be encoded on the sending side and decoded on the receiving side, I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible for network traffic by sticking to int/float/string which are handled automatically by the built-in API.

What I'm more interested in though at the moment is not the 32 debuff limitation but how to not have a 32-element switch-case or if-else tree in my base unit class.

I might be able to get away with creating an OnHitEffect class and just having a bunch of inheriting classes for each effect which I create prefabs for and instantiate as needed.

Yeah this seems less retarded as I can just override the base ApplyHitEffect function from the parent in each inheriting class with whatever that specific hit effect is supposed to do.

There are multiple ways of doing grounding tests. I'll elaborate if you want.

>>128544493
The character controller component is something that lets you do movement without rigidbodies that automatically handles sweeping movement against geometry, you still need to implement your own actual controller on top of it.

It's like a retarded kid feeling proud of making a dirt castle, but I guess it's progress. Is it even worth it when the game won't be any of any considerable size anyways?

>>128544493
>it isn't a bug if you can work around it

>>128544789
I think you are responding to the wrong guy. Grounded is exactly a feature that should be implemented on a per-game basis, because you may want to restrict jumping among other things to fit your own game.

>>128544810
GML is really simple, if you know a bit about programming logic you can learn it in two days. Look for some videos about programming logic, and watch Tom Francis videos, he explains how to make a game, and explains what each line of code means

i know. this one seemed simpler. so i tried and i figured it was broke. and really its very simple implementation but it wont work with the charactercontroller. i will go with the rigidbody now probably.

>>128545178
Considering my five year old is breezing through kiddie coding games, this is a far less inflammatory statement than it seems.

This is only if you are using dragndrop though. GML actually requires some work to learn if you have absolutely zero coding experience.

It's pretty easy to pick up but not RPGMaker Ruby-lite easy. So it's not quite retarded kid level.

You seem to have missed the point, but I'm not surprised.

What do you guys use to make sprites? Will ___Paint___ suffice?

>>128545064
You don't have to.
There are a bunch of ways to do grounded check, so i'll try to elaborate according to what i've used so far. I bet there are better ways though:

raycast: You place a null at the bottom of your character and you fire continuous raycasts. If it's within [arbitrary value], then your character is grounded, and you can jump.
This method has some caveats, but it kind of depends on your level. You may want to set up a debug to show raycast length, so if your character gets stuck somewhere without being able to jump then you can check that debug length and adjust your [arbitrary value].
You can even cast like 4 rays off-center from your character if one ray doesn't prove enough.

collision check: You can check if your character is in collision with something, using things like "oncollisionstay".
There are multiple ways to handle it, but at it's simplest form you just set grounded to true if your body is in collision.
This won't work well by default, but it's a good start. It won't work because you will be in collision with walls as well, so you could climb walls with this implementation.
You can do multiple things to fix this.
You can tag walkable terrain as "ground" or something, and only set grounded if you are in collision with that.
You could also check the normals of that surface, so if they're within ~15 degrees of the "world up", then you could consider them ground.

You can also combine the two methods to some extent, it's really up to you.

How do you guys do animated backgrounds? I'd like to have it in my game.

>>128526230
Shougi

>>128546153
Asprite or Photoshop

In photoshop, use the pencil tool and layers.
Open the canvas navigator on the side so you can see your sprite at a realistic size as you draw.

Asprite and other specific spriting programs let you edit a frame while the animation plays. This saves a lot of time.

if you can make an entire game with it, and you know how to organize visual things, it would be a hell of a lot easier than coding in my eyes. you can add comments and shit, and you build it slowly, piece by piece. if that's an entire game, that's pretty cool really.
