Take on small projects first, forget the tactics RPG for now, decide what engine you are going to use, then try making a basic platformer, go watch tutorials, just start small and work your way up

Learn how to make a tic-tac-toe game first.
I shit you not. This is to get you familiarized with the basics in your tools of choice, including the game engine, programming language, etc.
The game should have a complete main menu, win/lose screen, etc.

Then learn to make a tetris game. Make it that each tetris piece is editable via a txt file, to teach you basic file data creation and editing. Again, this should be complete with a main menu, maybe an op[tions screen to control difficulty, etc.

Later on you can use whatever technique you pick up here to create files for different unit types or attack types or whatever.

Then learn a pong/breakout game to get you familiarized with physics. Again with a main menu and stuff.

If you're feeling confident enough, feel free to deviate from the usual tic-tac-toe, tetris, or pong game design.

The point is to learn things bit by bit, and your list of completed games, even if they're laughably simple, will motivate you because you're able to complete your projects, you'll be familiar with the usual bugs and what are the usual first steps to fix them, usual design considerations, etc. You'll have an established workflow by that time, that you'll definitely need if you really want to take up making a tactics RPG.

today I finished the first pass of the radial menu for special attacks. it's basically the same idea as the god hand roulette moves where time slows down and you have a few seconds to select the attack you want in order to keep the momentum going. my special attacks are gonna have TIMED HITS type stuff to keep them engaging though

the number of slots is changing every time i open it for demonstration of how the slots distribute, in the actual game you'll probably start with 2 or less and over time add to the total number of slots available

i imagine more of a harvest moon type game where instead of working the fields, you use your whip on people who you've previously instructed to work your fields. you can breed slaves and sell/trade them on the slavemarket to get more efficient slaves.
eventually, emancipation will become a thing and you'll need to use the wealth you've acquired to delay emancipation for as long as possible.

Got any recommendations how to make blood looks better on surfaces?

Right now I draw it to a surface. Should I draw it over all objects? Only on the walls/static objects? I'm not sure. It might look weird on same places either way.

Mhm. I agree. Right now it just draws the blood as it is, and I got the particle effect made so it "thins" out at the end of the spray.

Also not sure if I should keep this much blood in the full game? Is it funny, silly or just over the top?

At some point you realize Hammer is a piece of shit for map making, and you won't be sure if you need to write your own extension tool to do it properly.
Then you realize you lack the experience to write something like that, with enough features to do the job.
And then you look at the other tools(Blender/3DMax geometry export, Unity, Unreal, etc) and realize they are just as shit

Basically: Its fine, but just like any other 3D tool: You will run into issues with your knowledge, or the limitations of the tool.
Nothing substitutes learned knowledge, experience, and a good work plan.

I think i got my web builds working again, could you peeps test and and see if it runs?
So far it runs for me in both firefox and chrome, but at a pretty shitty framerate. It doesn't run properly for a friend in firefox, a lot of the shaders just aren't rendered for him, so i was wondering if anyone else gets these problems.

Were you manually manipulating the gib on the right side of the room? 'Cause otherwise those physics are certainly over the top. I'd say the blood is too, but that's so subject to personal taste that, y'know, whatever. I think a few good long smears would be better than the entire wall ending up a solid red.

>>165593032
One thing I might suggest (I know I just said that I'd personally tone down the blood but hear me out) is having a general "spatter" from wounds that gib, not associated with any particular gib. I just having the streaking looks a bit "cheap" whereas having a nice splatter that the gibs would then move away from, leaving streaks, would be better.

Just a thought.

>>165593352
You mean generate predetermined splatters around the gib on the wall instead of recording the actual particle effect?

>>165593157

>>165593521
Right. I mean, it doesn't have to be "predetermined" in that you could generate it however you wanted (generic splatter sprite taken from a list of choices or something more dynamic), but you've got my meaning.

>>165593528

The original phrasing is totally unambiguous, and I agree that it would be a stupid thing to make.

I'm not the one who said it had been done before.

>>165593778
For the record, I don't mean the gib generating a series of predetermined spatters as it flies, I mean generating one "predetermined" spatter in the proximity of the original wound, and then using your current streaking system in tandem with that. The choice is yours, of course.

you notice the AI way more when the gameplay mechanic is cheating it out.

Impressive:
a fair amount of shooter AI where things are scripted and setup that the AI naturally flanks you. Giving you the feeling of depth when there is none.

haven't played anything really impressive though. most of it is just a bunch of cheap tricks or lookups that ask how the player is doing with things like Health variables, accuracy, speed through levels and vary the difficulty based off that.

>>165596271
in retrospect yeah thats obvious, but how many devs do you think make the enemy open itself up purposefully so you can do a cool move on them?

they might do it when the enemy swings and have a momentary down time, but I doubt they do that thing where you can counter it with specific items or skills.

>>165596146
Only during the openings. Once your ELO is above 1700 you start to appreciate it more.

A fuckload of them. More than I could ever possibly name. It's a cornerstone of designing an action game, or any game with combat.

how much money can I make if I start making unfinished furry porn games?

>>165596579
Most to all, I'd wager. The people making them understand that ultimately the game is meant to lose to the player, so you give the player the means to overcome the obstacles you put in their way.

Players who can't find a way to overcome your obstacles are liable to quit. People who quit out of frustration give bad press to your game among their network. This might harm sales.

So, instead, you give them clues and hints - clear openings of attack and elbow-nudges in the right direction.

Good game making isn't about putting ideas in the players' head that lets them beat the game. Good game making is doing it so well the player thinks they're the one who came up with the idea to begin with.

In Unity, I want an object to by default ignore all collisions and then be able to selectively enable collisions with that object and other objects
What's the quickest way to do this? Keeping a running list of all colliders just to ensure that it individually calls ignorecollision on them seems wasteful as fuck. I'd use layer collisions but if I did that then I couldn't re-enable it for only one object.

yes I understand that, but I'm saying what games make an enemy jump back, twist their arm to the left and then have their shield behind them so when you shoot an arrow at it the arrow bounces off randomly and hits them in the back of the head knocking off their helmet.

I'm not talking about just openings. I'm saying programming stuff that seems random and memorable. Kind of like some sort of goat sim thing where you feel like it's a glitch but it's actually supposed to happen.

I don't think there's any issue with that, it's just that properly using that kind of code when I'm barely running the game in the first place would result in me having to go over the code and change values and rethink everything that runs on an interval for the sake of someone's 2003 pc not being able to run it properly in the first place

i should, however, fiddle with it in case i want to have any kind of bullet time effect or something

>>165597367
Games where the developers had the time and ability to make those things happen. All good action game devs want you to walk away with memorable moments. Making those memorable moments happen in a way that the player causes them to happen without it feeling totally set up is the hard part.

>>165597229
you said "quickest" so the first thing that comes to mind is just making it a trigger on OnTriggerEnter check the name/tag of the collided object and a flag for if collisions are supposed to happen with them. If yes, do thing, if not, don't do anything. I don't know what you want to happen though, it might not work if you want physics things to happen which would need the colliders and not a trigger, and it wouldn't be efficient. For rapidly enabling/disabling you might have to just use ignorecollision.

They definitely do. Things like The End boss fight in MGS3 shows just how hard they tried to make it so that the player had at least *one* moment where they had an epiphany and got that rush from suddenly going from prey to predator.

And even if you didn't get those, they tried to at least make you laugh here and there - they wanted you to have a good time no matter how badly or well you played. Though obviously it's still a boss fight so they can't pull their punches too much.

>>165597662

The internet is a wonderful thing, make use of it's full potential instead of just using it to fap to boys who tuck their weewee between their legs and wear stockings.

Some feedback from messing around in World of Horror for an hour or so:
some menu options autoselect themselves when you transition between menus. Might be because of holding down click?
-UI isn't totally clear
-no relation between hints found and events
-no reason to go to certain areas
-cannot select spell/item menu in fights
-Strange Light event card had no effect
-indicator for casting Regen on self was too subtle, it should make a sound
-no indicator of how much time has passed (that I could find)
-Shop Doge is cute
-2nd soundtrack is broken
-Aesthetics are great


Feature Suggestions:
-Special cards that can only be drawn by certain characters. This would add a bit more personality and flavor to them.
-This kind of game gets boring very fast if there is not a large variety of cards. I imagine that you are already aware of that, but this demo got awfully repetitive.
-Special cards/enemies based off of the Elder God chosen?

>Hold down RMB to spawn a bullet
>There's sometimes gaps where no bullets spawn for split seconds which becomes more apparent when the bullets spread out
What the FUCK why

>>165594873
Yeah, that can happen, but by the time they catch up to you, you should be able to kick again.
Also, the kick propels you at 50% towards the
camera's backwards vector and 50% of the world's UP direction, so your best bet is usually to kick at a horizonal or slightly upwards angle, so that you get the distance and the ability to maneuver once you land.
>>165595803
Yeah!

>>165590387
Apart from the transparency, the spray looks too consistent in terms of distance sprayed. It would help to have occasional sputters that go a long distance.

>>165599103
The gaps appear BECAUSE they're being spread out.

I'm confused, is FL Studio free?

>>165599196
Oh, right. I figured because they spawn in consistent increments the gaps should be even..but I didn't take into account the fact that my manual shifting of direction was NOT consistent. I'm sure if I made the object rotate at a consistent rate that the gaps would close.

...Duh. Fuck.

Added mouse control to the camera to complete the keyboard & mouse controls.

Also testing a new look for the in-game menu, where only the left side of the screen is blurred. I'm doing this so that in the graphics options, you can see the changes in real-time if you turn on/off ambient occlusion, bloom, anti-alias, etc.

I'll be making code to make the game display keyboard/mouse icons instead of controller icons when keyboard/mouse input is detected, and switch to displaying controller icons when controller input is detected, like in Dragon's Dogma.

I'm amazed that webm can shrink my video to less than 3 mb and at first glance I can hardly tell any quality loss compared to the original 17 mb mp4 file

>>165599406
Its not a good idle

Its not jiggly enough in the right places, for instance, you have zero horizontal squash, and a fundamental aspect of the squash/stretch is when you compress, you widen, and when you stretch outwards, you shrink the sides.

Not bad, but could use some work.

I have played the demos you released so far and I'm really satisfied with it. Only complaint: the top HUD is kinda underwhelming, especially the health counter. You should redesign it.
By the way it's incredible that the game demo is that small for being so beefy. What size the actual game file growing up to?

Screen Shake is literal cancer.

Screen Shake is what wannabe game designers think is an awesome feature when it's easily one of the worst things that can go into your game.

>>165600417
It's hard to tell without the accompanying juice, but at a glance i think the characters don't mesh well with each other, and pixel games don't usually have constant idle camera shake

>>165600148
>>165600384
>mixed voxel sizes with global illumination, bloom, and depth of field
Why would you do this.

>>165600047
not my part of the code, but basically, it checks if something gets caught up "inside it", which can only happen if something is caught between several colliding objects. enemies are destroyed, bosses and minibosses destroy the block instead and the player can temporarely pass through them if hurt.

>>165600618
>Screen Shake is literal cancer.
screen shake is great your a cancer.

>>165599723
Which are you gonna do?

>>165600604
Please just don't put her in the game at all, even as a placeholder.
Putting asset store shit in your game will break any unifying style you've had going on until that point. Just use capsule or just cubes put on a skeleton, at least people will know that it is a placeholder, just don't put in random crap like maids.

>>165600618
>i don't like it therefore it's cancer and shouldn't be used

At least reduce the camera's velocity to zero for fuck's sake.

>>165600604
I think it's funny to have a shitty pre-made maid (hue hue) in your demos, so I say keep her in the combat prototype. It's like having a "WORK IN PROGRESS" banner only funnier.

>>165600705
>>165600807
Not him, but while I don't think it's an absolute no-no I think it should be reserved for meaningful occasions. Otherwise, to make meaningful screen shake you have to go so over the top that it just looks terrible.

>>165600807
That's what literally every complaint about anything ever boils down to.

>>165600417

Shake the target instead generally. Save screen shake for big moments like ultimate attacks or at the very least aoe attacks that impact the environment like an earthquake attack.

>>165601086
Dunno, typically it's for pretending you're making a game and shitposting.

>>165601158
The Batman Arkham games use slow-mo to an extreme degree and it cheapens it.

It's cool sometimes, but its like every attack.

When you see games with screen shake, its always excessive to the point where it wrecks your aesthetic, and playability of the game since everythings all over the fucking place and its impossible to see whats going on.

>>165601086
Unless it's a total overhaul then no.

game's actually supposed to have anime art style (but not toon shaded). not as simple as the maid character, but something closer to Persona 5 or Catherine perhaps.

I could make the characters all look like dark souls, (or basically realistic western faces) but since I'm also doing the art here, I know realistic faces will take me more time overall for the whole game, considering both the concept art and the 3d modeling.

>>165601257
>Sorry, what do you mean?
enemy should flash, maybe knock back anything really.

I can't tell if you activate a block or something and the enemy isn't taking full damage. You need to work on the hit confirm first before stuff like camera shake

Software to make maps
I.E. whatever the modern equivalent of Hammer is.
I'd just do it within Unity but for whatever fucking reason, the number of times a texture repeats is an unchangeable value in the material so if you want to have a large quad for a flat area, it's either gonna be super stretched or you're going to have to duplicate the material for it

>>165601115
i think music makes up most of the filesize. surprisingly, the code takes the second place and outweghs the graphics. still unsuer what the actual game file is, do you mean the exe of the latest demo?

the filesize difference between the demos is because we added most of floor 4 between them. it's actually mostly playable too, bar a bunch of unfinished things, just not accessible in-game.

oh, >>165602610 was me. I was just sharing one of my reference images.

My point was that since my game takes place in a city slowly being consumed by supernatural monsters, the point about silent hill makes sense, if only to get ideas and not necessarily about the exact visuals

>>165603432
doubt it will get anywhere close to that, unless steam api has something else to say.

>>165603243
but no one uses bsp for maps anymore. you make meshes in blender and import them into unity/unreal's editor and position them

>>165604370
I'm not saying that I care about the actual file format, I want a tool that doesn't suck. Blender is ass for map making as far as I can tell because it supports literally 0 functionality for it beyond "yup, it can make 3d stuff". It's the mapping tool equivalent of fogging a mirror, that doesn't mean that it's good at it though.

If it's not anime then it's sentai as FUCK which may as well be the same shit.

I've pirated the full version of probuilder and gave it a fair shake, in my experience it's MUCH faster to do stuff in Maya (the program i'm used to), and then just export it into Unity.

somehow you've managed to make this style look good. i think the lighting, color pallete and careful spacing of everything sell this look, and save it from looking like a dime a dozen unity project.

would probably play this/10

>switching between three pastel colors to do damage to color-based enemies and absorb similar-colored projectiles

ikagura did this too, but with only 2 colors. you could look at it for inspiration.

please christ don't. you have a really cool victorian aesthetic and putting this hideous MOE shit in would completely ruin this otherwise great character design. it conflicts with the general atmosphere of your game tonally to a the point where i thought you were joking with the first webm you had it in.

i know those waifu bucks are tempting but i implore you to maintain the artistic integrity of your game. make a different game with that character if you really want.

>>165606279
it's just rarely done right, and is often too strong like that picture so it's jarring.

How do I make a water level "not boring"?

>>165606571
a) make it take place over the surface of the water instead of under the water
b) keep movement fast

>>165604753
I guess I'm not understanding. You have to make the meshes in some 3d tool, and there aren't many options. If you can afford Maya, go for it. You have to put the meshes together in another tool - this would be your game engine's editor.

>MOE shit

I never really planned on going that far, but the game will be in anime style, leaning more on the realistic side (cowboy bebop, gits), check the replies for what I mean

What's a good program to use to organize an idea? Like for a design doc.

its clearly japanese inspired but i didn't get the "ANIME" impression from the design at all. if anything i thought you were going for the DMC, bloodbourne dark souls, castlevania, aesthetic which is a much better style to be honest.

>>165606571
Don't make it slow as fuck like most water levels. Don't change core mechanics into less fun mechanics that also by the nature of only rarely appearing have to be simpler because the player will have had less experience with them.

>>165606806
paper and pencil

>>165606571
How about you just don't fucking make one? It's not like you have to.

>>165606806
google docs with a table of contents

you could try a mind map tool if that's more your style

if I had the funds I'd go for that.

pic related is one of my influences, it's kind of what I'm going for
