If Ansdor can't draw her and he is okay with it, then sure, why not.

>>128695068

Well, the other side of the argument is that the backgrounds should show more detail, because the foregrounds/platform should be very basic because all the player cares about them is that they are bright and solid so they know where they can stand.

The ship is starting to take shape.

I plan for the greenhouse to be divided into a left and right segment with cargo in the middle(which you'll be able to interact with to detect contraband and check that cryopod passengers aren't still corpsicles). Your cargo will be part 3rd party shipped goods and part trade goods you pick up according to your own whims.

You need to take another look at your horizontal collision code.

All its doing is checking for a meeting at its own coordinates with the a wall twice, when it should be checking x+3 and y+3 or whatever its movespeed is.

Use it if it's working for you, but like why? Why waste your time with gravity when you could just have a vertical speed when there's no platform underneath you? Can you even translate your gravity into how many pixels you're moving per frame?

I think you need way more frames in your animations.
Also the whole movement and stuff feels a bit too fast.
Dark souls works because it's slower and more deliberate, not some DDR-on-HARD-APM game

Make them fade out, don't destroy the trail right away when you're done because the existing trails instantly disappear too then.

Deparent them and destroy with a timer or deparent them and then reparent and deactivate with a timer.

>I think you need way more frames in your animations.
i've already done more than 350 frames. 4 frames for each facing direction, 2 frames for each attack direction = 18 frames per humanoid monster (east and west is mirrored). 4 directions is much tougher than any mirrored platformer 1 framer. also this really is the first thing i've ever animated.
And I don't like my wall perspective either but it's too late. this is my first game (other than LD) please let me finish it in this century.
>the whole movement and stuff feels a bit too fast.
the base movement speed is slower than it's ever been, you default to walking and hold the dodge button to run. is IS a bit confusing to attack-into and not collide with enemies, when I fix this I think combat will become clearer.

Let's say I'm making an endless runner-type game in GameMaker (I'll have other actions too). How do I go about making sure the "room" is repeating?

83KB, 1917x1028px

>FINALLY rigged up a way for the game to only draw things that are in camera's view
The FPS remains a lot more stable instead of dropping to a fraction when the whole map is "found". When you increase the window size I don't zoom in or anything, so more map tiles are drawn and the framerate does decrease, but there's a lower limit compared to before when the whole map was always being rendered.

Here's a picture of the FPS full-screen map tiles everywhere

and here's a picture of the FPS when almost none of the map is being drawn

>>128703776
I made the backgrounds in aseprite, and I'm importing them into GM and setting the obstacles as boundaries in the "rooms" subset. If the player touches them, they die. There will also be enemies and a method of attacking (most likely a combination of knife throws and dagger swipes depending on the enemy distance to the player).

I want to have the backgrounds scroll continuously, while having the platforms generated in random patterns.

>>128704165
They are mainly us, right? The bad thing about generals is that they're only used by people that actively seek them out. This means a dwindling population, a cliquey subculture, and no onlookers that stop by to give viewpoints that aren't normally heard.

You play as a submissive and perverted cleric who has to keep her incredibly buff and masculine party members alive as they keep getting into increasingly deadly situations. Gameplay is top-down view and controls like Nuclear Throne.

>>128697427
Dude you're not supposed to have another slow frame after it's fully drawn backwards. I imagine the extra time will piss off players too unless you can switch weapons and the hammer's special thing is that it's extra slow but strong as fuck (in which case I'd just make the hold longer rather than what you got going on there...).

If you really want to do that, you'd want to add more frames anyhow (but only in the part where it's going slow).

Their 'problem' is that they actually talk about gamedev. Just see the difference between the time the /v/ thread got mentioned in here an now.

>>128704607
I think the way you're doing it now is the best way, because no matter what the resolution is, the player will always have that circular FOV so everyone pretty much has the same experience. The only advantage a larger window size will give people is being able to see where they HAVE been before, and even then, players with a smaller window size can just drag the camera around.

I always like seeing progress from you, keep up the great work!

I really don't understand where the hate comes from. If your idea is good the anons here will be sure to let you know because they want a new game that's not cookie cutter, if you present something shitty they'll let you know just as well. When it comes to art I can't really vouch for them if it's not a cute anime girl they flip their shit and the only way to prevent that is if it's actually decent.

>>128704469

Bullshit. There were two progress posts, one old progress from an agdg dev and another new progress from an agdg dev, one useless art post and the rest was people saying "I want to make a game, add me on skype".

It's the default Pico-8 palette. It owns for sure. And unfortunately tile space is at a premium. Even using four tiles for the O might be too much. I tried to make it 8x16 at first, but it came out even worse.

If I do have extra tiles in the end, first I think I'd rather have a portrait graphic for the title screen and something special for the win and lose screens before I mess with the title font.

Though, it's hardly a platformer since there's no jumping mechanic.

>>128707434
There's a better method for updating data on the client only when you specifically want to?

I'm not using SyncVars since the class has around 60 fields it reads from a file with many changing on a frame basis and the client doesn't need to care about them since all the calculation is done on the server.

The only time the client needs the information the server holds is when they click directly on the object and choose inspect, then the server has to spill it.

>>128707052

Cool progress today

If you're fast enough to smash the owl while flying, he drops a golden egg that you have to kick around like a soccer ball. There's a big nutcracker that can crack it open with its mouth so you have to bring the egg to it and it will free the candy cane inside (permanent speed boost).

Most devs just stop posting in agdg at some point anyway. Not going to cite them since it will trigger as usual the good old 'but hopoo still posts here' reply.

When you get far enough in your dev the good thing is just to move elsewhere or start shilling on /v/ if you're selling.

I mean, look at slipstream. People have been making fun of him for the past week but now that he made it they're going to shift the shitposting to someone else.

It doesn't even qualify as a meme because only one person ever posted it. Let's just say a lot of the worst cancerous behavior on agdg starts and ends with one special child on meth salt medication.

Nope. You can open the p8 files with a normal text editor and go to town.

>>128710486
You are everything that is wrong with animeposting.

>hi danny!" type of shitposting is definitely new
The "people" doing it are not new though, and before this they were obsessing over some other dev who made them feel uncomfortable. Rotate and sourcefam have been here for years and shitposting is literally all they've ever accomplished. They're literally insane. And they've been here for years. That's the first red flag that there's something wrong with someone, spending years on a gamedev board and not actually making any games.
The proof is right here

you can see people have been telling him to stop being a worthless piece of shit for ages. Some people never change. They just find new things to shitpost over.

>not making your own delicious and (relatively) healthy coffee at home
>not being free from distractions, sipping coffee in your own home, so you can dev easily
disgusting

I guarantee you're a fuck up otherwise you wouldn't have felt the need to make a defensive reply.

>>128711089
ok

>>128710934
Fuck man, home is where I'm the most distracted. I'd much rather be here or in an office where I don't have all my crap around, my PC with all it's games, or connected to IRC, Steam or any messaging programs for people to bug me with.

>>128711161
Hmm. Fair point.

>>128710934
you're not allowed to fap in Starbucks though, so the main risk to productivity is diminished

>>128711198
Yeah hi literallyinsaneshitposter we were just talking about you.
Oh wait nvm "we" are all danny I forgot.
Fucking psycho.

>>128711209

>Playing destiny after their microtransaction jewry
Anon I beat KF the day it came out and I don't even play that trash anymore.

>>128711209
not only are you not devving, but you also have a shit taste in games

you are indeed a 10/10 agdg member

>>128711292
you are amazing

>>128711289
>not fapping in 2 minutes and getting on with shit

>>128711289
That too.

>>128711209
That's good, hopoo. Now everyone else will have a chance to catch up to you.

>>128710489
Dannyposting has been a thing for over 6 months straight now. There's a reason we call them literally insane shitposters. They lost their minds. The tragic part is one of them was close to becoming an actual yesdev. Then again he's been close to actually just like making game for 2 years now.

>drinking anything else besides water

>>128710552
>That's not a very good pattern either. Spirals are the lowest common denominator of bullet hells.

that's literally from a touhou boss, i recognize the pattern

>>128711503
Hopoo could take the rest of his life off and most, if not all, of the people here would never catch up.

>>128711295
I'll try.
>>128711306
Jewery? Do you mean the silver that literally doesn't affect the game in any way? Like, it's not even a pay to win. Its emotes.
>>128711362
Oh GOD... That is actually motivation to hop off and dev.
