This person
This person right here
Do you even realize how he's trying to make us not give up? Do you realize that he's spending his time drawing something for us when he could be making a game or working or studying, but no, he's giving his heart to us when we're being such faggots who are getting jealous of FELLOW DEVS who are also just trying to make their dreams come true.
Can't you be a little more kind like this person? Do you have to feel angry over everyone who's better, or further ahead in in his game than you?
We should be a community that encourages progress whatever it may be, not shame it because it doesn't look like much now.
Learn from this person, try to be like him.

its not my jam, but the idea was that it would take place after dd12. Winter jam didn't happen because of lack of communication or something.

in fact it'd be very hard

i think it'd be impossible unless you're some kinda sociopath

>>164064984
I had separate ideas for boat jam and mecha jam, but unfortunately I could only make one because the jam was combined. It wasn't a big deal, I just think it was unnecessary.

If I'm a real dipshit who really just hates coding, is Blueprint strong enough that I can at least makes games for, say, game jams with it? I know programming principles and I'm not "above" doing it when necessary, but every time I realize that Unity requires quite a bit of C# scripting just for basic shit I get nauseous.

Just to be clear, I'm not asking "can I make a game without coding," I'm asking "is Blueprint a good enough substitute for coding". I know that even with Blueprint I still have to understand logic.

Could you tell me why? I mean, I know that "durr what engine I use" has 3800 different answers, but I like to hear people's opinions anyway.

Using clickteam fusion 2.5 trial, if I can get something good working ill buy it and the html5 export from the humble bundle.

I mostly program in C, but this is quicker and I need to make something I can sell for like $0.99. Also prototyping.

It might be because game makers are so foreign to me, but i'm making a platform game test, and so far I have needed three objects alone just for the player. Is this overdoing it?

>>164066883
How do you force yourself to do something

So Im making a system to hold stuff like feats from D&D or advantages from GURPS. Anything wrong with just having an array for each character that holds line numbers for the CSV holding all the feats? For simple checks, like having a military rank, I'd just see if the array contains 37, or whatever line that feat is. For stuff affecting combat, I'd pre-calculate everything related to combat bonuses during the init method that doesn't need to run unless there's a level up or an area change.

Somehow I just don't like thinking about or even coding UI even though I love coding. Must be because it's some sort of art thing.

Here's a question about music /agdg/:

I wanna make an RPG with dark and foreboding atmosphere like in the king's field series (which is basically Dark Souls with more synth music). Naturally a lot of that atmosphere will be due to the soundtrack, but I don't just want to copy that stuff.

So what's music that's kinda similar to this style?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFr7AyT17sI

At the moment I'm strongly leaning towards the style of silent hill:

>>164066503

>how do i get discipline ?

discipline can be hard to achieve. from what i have read on the subject the idea is basically that discipline is like a mental muscle. the more you train it, the stronger it gets and the longer you can apply it.
so, start out small. force yourself to do something you don't want to do for ten minutes a day for a week, gradually inreasing the length of that time as you go - 20 mins, 30 mins, etc.

good luck, anon, and may the force be with you.

>>164068850
>doing more of the good work upfront means less time redoing it later.
In theory.

This project is probably the biggest I've ever done so far, and all of the things that I've done while "trying to think ahead" proved to be either wrong or incomplete, which means a loss of time thinking too much "ahead" to being with.

I noticed that you get faster results when you just code it the simplest/easiest way first, while keeping it clean of course, and then refactor later when you really need it because at this point you have a better scope of the game and what kind coding proved to be the more efficient for it.

New system: blocks get upgraded on match, only the highest tier blocks can explode, but you need more each tier.
There are bombs and timers, and you can place locks to control block shifting.

What the fuck are you talking about, post game.

Redpill me on Kickstarter. Will anyone fund me if no one knows who the fuck I am?

I don't really go on that site so I'm not familiar with how stuff works there.

>>164071780
THEY will if you have a good game/product to show. Doesn't matter if you're a random. If you're a well known professional you will probably just get more money because of name brand however. Personally I think its worth any indie without a publisher no matter what to do a kickstarter. Easy extra money/free marketing.

>>164071780
>Will anyone fund me if no one knows who the fuck I am?
No. Kickstarter is a test of how well you can shill over a long period. You need to be able to build a fanbase (or tap into an existing one like Toby Fox did with Undertale), and then aggressively shill your kickstarter when it launches

>>164071780

>I dunno anon is that the best use of your time?
I always planned to make better art, but I never really did it, and then I actually got nominated in an international contest but my art is so shitty they don't actually put any screenshot of the game in their communication.
I asked a friend to give a hand to create better art. Pic related.
It's still work in progress, as I am not convinced by the current texture.

is it still a bad idea to make 2D games in unreal

Does Godot have visual scripting? I can't really tell from the website.

>>164075717
It doesn't in any of the current stable releases. But if you build the current master, or use an unofficial nightly build, it will have visual scripting. Or you could wait for 3.0 for the stable release with visual scripting.

>>164075839

The nightlies are pretty stable, I've been using a build from December 4th, the only problem I can see is I think HTML5 export is broken. I haven't actually tried the visual scripting, but from what I can tell it is completely implemented.

Here's where I got the build: https://archive.hugo.pro/godot/

>>164076261
Riddle me this: If I wanted to build a 2D game entirely with (or at least largely with) visual scripting, would this be the way to do it? Or would buying some shit for Unity be the better option, assuming I don't actually care about the $65?

>>164076369

Download GameMaker

I am new to godot. I want to make random tile maps for dungeons.
Should I make a .xml and use the tilemap node with code for random dungeon generation? Is that the best way?

>>164076436
GameMaker's visual scripting is basically unusable anon

>>164068812
Wrote you a little bit of feedback:
http://pastebin.com/v4g1DEZH

>>164075584
Might be interested, but before we get serious I'd like to know whether you use Photoshop or Inkscape or what.

>>164076369
Godot actually has a dedicated 2D engine, unlike Unity which is just hacked on top of their 3D engine. Godot is also just better in my opinion. Try it out, the download is tiny.

>>164074681
pretty awesome

>>164076562
I'm already giving it a shot, but I'll say I'm kind of wary of not having any tutorials for 3.0.

>>164064686
Yeah its poison water.

>>164076448
Don't use .xml, it is being deprecated in future releases.
tres for resources and tscn for scenes is what you should be using.

As for the dungeon generation, yes, using tilemaps is good, you can make multiple tilesets and choose a random one then build the map with that.

>>164076226
Is this !pokemon island?

>>164076537
thank you for the feedback
You're right about things being hidden "out of bounds" in certain levels not level 3 though, i fucked up an forgot to put boundaries in

>>164076803
What about just making a Sprite with collision and whatever else it needs for each tile and then instantiating them randomly?

>>164076632
The tutorials out there now will still almost completely apply, the only thing not covered much yet is the visual scripting.
Honestly you shouldn't be using just visual scripting, no matter what engine you use. It's better to learn actual coding, and GDScript is pretty damn simple. But there are several visual scripting demos if you want to look https://github.com/godotengine/godot-demo-projects

So I'm new to /vg/ and retarded. Does anyone know anything about twine? I want to make a small chose your own adventure with art/music.

>>164074754
Patronite, mmmaybe

>>164077042
That could get laggy with too many nodes. The tilemap is optimized for having tons of tiles.

>>164077051
Well yeah, I'm sure there will be points where any visual scripting language just won't cut it and I'll have to do something. But I really really just don't like coding, it's horrendously dull.

Thanks anon.

>>164075041
That's what hot-reloadable text-based scripting languages are for as well.

>>164076851
yes

>>164075362
It's funny that every single engine out there has visual scripting and high-level networking, while in Unity it's the opposite.

Just deleted the animation I was working on through out the day. :(

>>164077439
Yup, Unity purposefully doesn't include features so that they can make money from those features being made and sold by the community.

>>164077276
>But I really really just don't like coding, it's horrendously dull.
If you're 1MAing, you WILL code anyway, using visual scripting or not.
Graphs are not a exceptionally different language. It's just that they are visual, but they work the same way as GDScript. You're still using the same functions, the same classes etc.

Adding to my post

I have an object called player, and an object called img_player

My problem is in the area commented "setting sprite direction"; the direction changes, but after I am done moving and horiz goes back to 0, the player goes back to a (I am assuming) default direction of right. What can I do instead so that it still checks if horiz is greater than or less than 0, but keeps that direction set? Do I need to add another variable for direction?

>>164077673
>>164077439
I fucked up, I meant to say that every single engine except Unity does NOT have high-level networking, and Unity has it, even though they didn't make visual scripting, which is a much easier feature.

>>164078348
Godot has high level networking AND visual scripting, suck on that Unity.

>>164078457
It doesn't have high level networking YET

>>164077935
I guess I should have been more clear. I understand that visual scripting is literally just another way to display code, even in the most abstracted languages. But it's so much easier for me to understand and "get into" that I can barely work without it.

And yes I realize I am basically a retarded chimp.

>>164077965
Yeah, I agree.
I'm testing out a cinematic mode that adds tilt shift and bloom for shinier bullshots, it's actually still a pixel-perfect game

I think this game is starting to come together quite nicely, but I also think you should consider working on the camera a bit. I don't know what it is, but the camera movement always seems unappealing. Maybe if you made it so you have to click and drag to rotate and smoothed it out a bit?

Yes, exactly!

Godot question! Should I try and export collision and other properties for each tile into the tilemap? or should I make a purely sprite tilemap and manually place my collisions where I want them?
I'm reading a page that says exporting the collision info into the tilesheet is buggy.

Most of the core material is done (flying, gravity, planets with PG'd mountains and cave systems, shooting things, etc) and I already have a list of content to add, but figured I'd ask around what comes to mind with a space exploration game, scary monsters, crazy planets and nature, robots?

I hadn't thought about it, but colliders are going to be a pain. I can't just use a blanket convex mesh collider. I'll need to either strategically split up the model so that individual mesh colliders can cover the model in a satisfactory way or start thinking about just creating a bunch of collision meshes or something.

JSON is likely over-flexible for your needs. C++ and parsing in general lends itself much better to more specific formats, such as binary (that just means instead of writing the characters "100" for an int you write the literal bytes 0x00000064) with a strict schema that you come up with to fulfill your needs alone.

Got something that works alright for the physics of it and slapped some placeholder thruster effects on it.

Made some juicy progress. Refactored the animation system to be more extendable in the future. Played with particle emitters to juice up my spells.

Cute/10

Do you have a menu yet?

will you be able to fly the carrier? That sounds like a lot of fun, especially if done in a FTL sort of deal

This feels about as weighty as I'd like. The thought of AI driving something with this much mass reminded me that I've never been able to create a formation flying AI that I've been satisfied with. Makes me wonder if the overall slipperiness of everything is going to make it even more difficult.

I'm open to suggestions if you all think the design is shit. What I have works for my purposes, but if I can find something that meets the requirements and isn't too much work to model (i.e., something I can do in less than a day) I might remodel it.

I feel an urge to install batteries.

See you soon then! Take care!

Is this design final? It looks like a placeholder desu

>>164097435
>Do you have a menu yet?
I don't even have gameplay desu

>will you be able to fly the carrier?
A ship is a ship. All it takes is setting the "use player input" flag to true to make it controlled by the player. I'm flying it myself in the webms. That being said, I wouldn't allow players to fly anything that big. You wouldn't want to fly and control something like that the same way you do a fighter, and to make it satisfying would require a crap ton of unique UI and control work. It'd be a completely different game at that point.

>Is this design final?
Nothing is final. It's all programmer art placeholders so I have something to work with. I'd love to have an artist do it for free so that stuff actually looks good, but good models realistically aren't going to happen until I find and start paying an artist.

What an odd request. I will try, but I don't think I'm skilled enough to capture Stallman's essence in 16x16.

>>164098401
if we're requesting costumes, then how about the imagemagick wizard?

>>164098401
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as magic, is in fact, magicka, or as I've recently taken to calling it

Found your marketing point, my man.

how is my noir?

Is it a given that if I make my main character a cute girl, more people will be interested in playing it?

I figured this one was easier to try, so I did that first. Meh.

... magic plus alchemy. Alchemy is not a form of magic unto itself, but rather a discipline for magical spells made useful by the harnessing of the magical energy within oneself, the magical energy within the objects around oneself, and the harnessing of the magical energy within beings around oneself comprising a full discipline as defined by the Order of Vocations.

Many magicka users utilize this core magic every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, this magic which is widely used today is often called alchemy, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically magic expressed through alchemy, as developed by the great Wizardry Convent of days long past.

There really is such a thing as alchemy, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the discipline they use. Alchemy is the discipline: an extension of magic that expresses and manifests magic in very precise ways. The discipline is an essential part of any magicka, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete magicka system. Alchemy is normally used in combination with magic: the whole system is basically magic with alchemy added, or alchemical magic. All the so-called magicka denominations are really denominations of magic!
