just censor them and post them if they actually exist

>>163922078
Tried, but it's not so much lewd as it is hardcore, and I can't really censor them without blocking out almost the entirety of the frame.
I don't know where the line is- I can block out the immediate area of contact, but dry humping or jiggle physics are hardly safe for work.

delta time y/n?

Also, I added a frame capper using the chrono header in C++ to stop my computer from sounding like it's dying while I test shit out and for some reason any time I try to cap my max frame time around 16.6_ms Windows forces it to exactly 15.6ms causing me to get around 64fps avg. Is there anything you can do about that shit besides using Linux?

>>163923105
Check if the delta time is lesser than your intended minimum. If yes, sleep for the remaining time.

>>163923105
Try using steady_clock instead, also these clocks will always be inaccurate, it's a big deal with audio programs especially.

>>163922483
>>163922745
>>163923105
How does Vsync work exactly, anyhow? If you push a frame too early does it just hold it until the blanking period? What if you push in two frames? Does it queue them or does it just render the most recent one?

help with c#

in an inherited class, when i call a base function from within an overriden function, it uses the baseclass variables instead of the childs

the virtual function in the base class looks something like this


public virtual void f(){
if(a == 0) return;
}

the override function in the inheriting class looks like this

public override void f(){
base.f();
dosomethingelse();
}

when base.f() is called, a has changed from its default value but it's still use the default because that's what it is in the base class. please hlpe

Should I be using A* for this or is there an easier solution? Basically the AI would only jump over short walls and drop down short drops like pic related (blue line means it can reach the player). It won't try to jump over gaps, jump up onto a platform or anything like that. If it can't reach the player via those rules it just patrols left and right.

Hey /agdg/,

Does anyone ever find themselves getting stressed out by setting themselves over ambitious projects, or even just ambitious projects?

I find myself getting stressed just planning out very large projects, and worrying is the thing even going to be fun after putting in the huge amount of work it will seem to need. Also hoping i don't overlook something critical and waste tons of precious hours working on something that won't work how I want.

>>163924407
Yeah all the time. That's why you always have to start with a smaller goal. Work your way on it, and when you finish that you can move on a bigger one or make that same project grow by pushing the goal a little further.

Only instances have values stored in variables. An instance can't have 2 variables with the same name and type. So "a" can only refer to one value per instance

You never waste time while working on something. If you at some point decide that it's not the way you expected the project to be at the start, you can re purpose most of what you've made for it for the other game in addition to the knowledge gained.

If you're using an engine, learn 3D modelling. It's not really that hard, you can grasp blender in 2 days as long as you focus on learning the shortcuts, which are a must. For textures you can just download some free ones and filter them or something, or use just one color per poly and bake AO maybe.

Animations are somewhat more difficult but not really, just takes a bit more time.

As for idea guy,y ou don't need somethng groudnbreaking. copy some old game, simplify it to what makes it fun and maybe put your own twist to it.

>>163925154
I am not aware that what you are describing in the original post is possible as a problem. You must debug or execute the same code from within the calling function. If you query a before you call the base function, it will have the same value as inside the base function (outside of multithreading of course)

>>163924983
>You never waste time while working on something.
But I mean in terms of having an idea for a game that you'd absolutely love to create, but it's very hard to justify all the time it will take, but you could just about do it maybe if you kept a tight schedule..

But if you spend a lot of that time working on it, but realise you made a big mistake. Bad architecture, framework doesn't do what you need, langugae you picked is not appropriate, game engine not stable/fast enough etc.. and you need to scrap a lot of what you did and start over.. then you know you'll probably never be able to find the time to finish it.

I guess I just should know better, but it's hard not to try planning out uber projects...

>>163925228

If you're a 1MA and aren't doing this being funded by someone else who expects results by some date, I don't think any of this is relevant.

If you are making something new, as opposed to copy-pasting something that exists, you can't know what is the correct way of achieving anything and the only way to find out is by trying. It's like an optimization problem, the landscape of which you don't know how it looks like and you are trying to find the highest hill.

Something is not working? Change it to make it work.

>>163925228
I'd call you a retard and say they most likely use motion capture or just taiwanese slave animators who work 16 hours a day for months but I don't know for sure so I won't call you a retard for trying to animate 300 bones, because that's totally logical for an indie dev to spend time animating needlessly complex armature systems. Retard.

I plan to have a single base mesh and use attachments (e.g. current mesh has 60 bones dedicated just to hair all of which will hopefully be driven by physics) and this is just a training session in getting good.

I do think it's interesting you are using reddish blacks for outlines, but why? Is it for strategical reasons (like the game having predominately black backdrops so colored outlines help sprites stand out) or did you just like the way it looks?

lowpoly is completely subjective, there is no rules for it. But calling 48k lowpoly is still dumb.

>>163927862
>lowpoly is completely subjective

We could, you know, use some games as samples, combine and then divide their number of polys and settle on an "average poly number". Then everything below it would be low poly and everything above it would be high poly. No need to fall for the "everything is subjective" meme.

>>163927639
being the outward face of an industry mogul and getting caught being involved in dirty political schpiels is pretty far removed from simply being an independent developer who likes hanging out on a website that also happens to be used by nazis and pedos, though.

>>163927259
The second one, mostly. I tried with a black outline before but didn't like too much how it looked on some sprites, and since I'm working with a limited amount of colors and sharing them between all the characters I needed an outline that looked good on all of them.
I'm not sure if there will be a black backdrop at some point, but if there is, it will save me from recoloring the sprites for it too.

>>163927749
i consider things to be low-poly if i can make out individual polygons. that's a good definition.

>>163927862
there's really 2 types of low-poly
there is the low-poly aesthetic with low-res textures, which makes things cute and nostalgic
Then there is what the industry knows for low-poly, which is a mode that will work in the engine.
Most 3D models are made with really high poly count. To the point where you don't see polygons at all. Then they reduce the polygon number so it runs on the engine, and use the high poly version to make normal maps, this type of "low-poly" used with normal maps (made using the very high poly versions) make the 3D models with low polygon count look like very high polygon count.

15k or less is good for using on a game engine (depends on the game and other factors of course)
but the cute, nostalgic, low-poly is far less (pic related)

This is retarded, it makes no sense to talk about low poly in that context. Usually when people say low poly they refer mostly to the style.

In technical terms low/high poly depends entirely on the application so there's no rule there. Also, to increase performance game devs usually create a high poly model, but only to create the normal map that they then use on a lower poly count character.

>>163928161

What about some mobile games like Injustice? All the characters are below 8k, really low for today's standarts, but you can't make out inividual polys on them, and both smooth shading and normal mapping makes them look like they have more polys than they actually have.

It's about the aesthetic, not the hardware. Although low poly games can also run better on toasters and mobile platforms, so it could help with having a wider audience.

>>163928842
modeling like this is actually just as hard as doing high poly stuff, you need a really good understanding of silhouettes/design/use of triangles

beginners often underestimate it because less polys is thought to be less work

This is exactly the same for pixel art. Since it's so few pixels people think that means it's easy to make good quality pixel art, but in reality it's hard to make a small sprite look good because each pixel is more important to the overall shape.

Some non progress mockups. Keen to make a game that's a mix between CMANO, xcom and evangelion. Eldar gods fuck up half the world, you gotta hunt and defend the ~ruins of humanity~ using modern weapons.
You run something like Nerv from evangelion, but if they had no budget.

Say I want to decouple rendering from updating.
>A) one render state and overwrite that once per frame after both rendering and updating finished(so the updating part sweeps through the game state and copies whatever it finds that needs to be rendered to the renderer's state)
>B) double buffering for the render state + a flag that says if the back buffer is ready for rendering/finished updating. So the updating part has a pointer to this back buffer and does stuff to it while it updates, then sets the flag when it's finished. While this is happening, the renderer just uses the front buffer until it finishes dumping shit to the gpu


A or B?

>>163931521
So what are you modeling stuff off of? Making it up?

Because CMANO is to some extent, quite realistic in that it's modeled off of real life specifications in regards to shit like radar power, RCS, missile range, etc etc

Or are you not going for that much of a simulator/realism?

Help a retard please?
Basically I need to store a database of items for my game. I was thinking of using either Json or XML.
My problem is, different items will be different classes all deriving from a generic Item class. For example, all items have names and descriptions, but only potions will have a "heal amount" value, only equipment will have stats, and key items won't have a price. How am I supposed to serialize all these different child classes?

Going to use the CMANO database as a resource for weapons and whatnot, but i won't be able to approach the realism of CMANO.
Really want to play around with radar systems after seeing CMANOSs so this is an excuse to do so, most of everything else will just be tweaked to be plausible and play ok.

>>163932860
>>163932979
Haha sorry. I shouldn't have posted that without also providing help.
I guess I don't really see the issue. Why not do this manually, or just have one generic container? The format you save the files in isn't really important since you can parse them yourself however you want to. My save files are just plain text.

is there a way a dev can get direct type of funding for his game.

i don't mean like crowdfunding or donations. i mean like when a publisher or individual gives you.
i assuming that don't happen alot but i believe is possible

>>163932860
maybe SQLite and a table for each class

>>163932860
super easy. Implement a serialize() method on your items. Json doesn't give a fuck about the contents as long as they are properly structured.

I need some motivation bros.
I always dreamed about being an artist, and then I started to gamedev, I love it, but then I became older (I'm 28 now), and I just want to start having an income and leave my mother basement and get a gf, but right now I'm a failure.

Luckily I'm now enrolled in software engineering in my local college, but I want to be an artist.
Sadly the alternatives (writer, painter, musician) are so dire, so I'm stuck with games.

I don't know I simply need some motivation, like everything will be ok in the end.

>>163934972
Anon, you've pretty much listed all possible art form, and you stated you didn't find any of the appealing to you. It's still a debate if game dev is an art form or not. Coding is a mathematical and logical process, graphics fall into the drawing category, so are left with game design, which is basically idea guying.

I would say, finish your education, get a job, move out, meet with other people to meet some gf material, and in the mean time, try to decide what you really want, because from your post, it's clear that you have no idea.

And yes, if you want something and work not only hard but well for it, then you can create something beautiful.

I have a clear goal and maybe you guys can point me in the right direction.

I wanna make a basic as fuck FPS style game with about 8 players where they have to deduce a spy-type character hidden among them without all dying. It would need scripting ability so that doors and lights can be powered by generators which require gas-cans.

I thought about doing it in Gary's mod to get a basic prototype up, but I'd rather spend my time learning something that can lead to other things.


What engine would best facilitate this for a relative newcomer to all this with a dickload of freetime for the next two months?

Thank you i love you

>>163938915

No. Do you have any Pictures from that game?

>>163940641
no a frame trap is a move or sequence of moves that is inescapable once caught in it.

for example let's say that the player has dodge animation that last 20 frames and i frames on the first 5 frames, and cannot be cancelled into any other animation once started including the dodge animation.

If a boss has an attack that has a hit box on the first 5 frames and follows up with an attack within the 15 frames after. The player would be unable to dodge that attack completely and would be trapped.

Not sure why I posted in hindsight, sorry lads.

I think there's a market for it
but I also think it is a small market, looks too realistic to get much interest from the hentai community

Should I start making demakes?

Will a Resident evil in 2D be popular?

>>163943139
no, that's an awful idea

>>163943139
>Will a Resident evil in 2D be popular?
no

>>163943139
I can personally guarantee it would make a million dollars

>>163943139
Ask the GBC RE

>>Literally rubbing the software like a magic lamp to make it work

My programming experience in a nutshell.

Especially every time I have to use anything math-related, quaternionsor whatever. I literally just copy-paste stuff from stack overflow, then keep adjusting the values and moving them around until I get the result I want.

At the end of the day I close the class and pray to god I never have to open it again, like a black box put together with voodoo and lots of duct tape.

>>163943139
Yes, spend your time making a demake of an already licensed game and series for months and receive a C&D without ever receiving a single dime, notoriety or anything special.

there seem to be no other games in steam with demake tag.

I'm planing on making a sort of 2D/3D hybrid remake of RE with 2D graphics in a 3D engine.

Something like this.

But not crap.

>he can't even do a parody
lmao pleb.

>>163943496
that is a horrible idea. how anyone with sane mind can think that is a good idea?

>>163943496
Because legally you can't call it an 'X' demake unless you owned the rights to X

Is that guy who wanted to make a secret society /gsg/ here

>>163943496
I don't know, anon. Ever since Nintendo took down the fan Metroid projects, I'm sort of scared to mimic anything with a big company's name on it.

read about copyright law faggots.
Parodies are covered by fair use.

>but I'll remake another company IP what could go wrong
fucking retards.
make something similar.

where exactly does lua look for the .lua file when you "require" a module?

>>163944042
same directory

>>163941503
Cute
Is this the game with the dancing pot?

>>163943887
I just meant searching 'demake' in steam isn't indicative of anything because calling a demake a demake would be silly

>>163944178
it should appear as a tag, right?

Fairly sure I'm not going to use half of these, but hey fuck Yagni!

>>163944042
really? cause right now i have a file called keycodes.lua:

local t = {}

t.SPACE = 32

return t

and another lua file that requires it:

VK = require "keycodes"

if KeyDown(input, t.SPACE) == 1 then
MeshTurnX(mesh, 0.01)
end

and it's not working right, i know the problem's in the first line or in the module somewhere beause if i comment out the first line and replace the second arg of keydown with 32 then the script works exactly like it should

kung fury was a pile of fucking garbage and if you enjoyed it your game is probably shit

>>2d RE is a horrible idea
>read about copyright faggots
I don't understand.

Also try to make a clone of RE without parody in it and try to call it "but it is parody! so fair use". please do

>>163921123
I didn't get any work done, but I thought about a lot of things :)

>>163944370
Really nice, how are you making those effects?

>>163944335
Why?

Most games are just an assortment of stolen ideas anyway, the only reason to make a demake is to directly ride on the popularity of a franchise, which most people generally try to hide.

>>163944370
You already had plenty of rixels and now you have graxels too!

>is too hard to make a good game inspired by RE in 2d

That's a new term to me. Please explain.

>>163944867
Obviously, but I want to know what it's supposed to stand for.

>>163944792
Nothing, but what good is that as a search criteria on Steam? Especially if you can't specify which game you copied.

>>163944436
>>163944557

Maybe it's because of local t? I sword that local meant it was only accessible in the same file, but it's been a while.
