reposting my question in this thread i accidentally posted it twice in the last one kek anyway here

are twitch dev streams actually any good for getting the word out about your game/getting donation shekels?

i mean if you trudge through the shit that is the livestreaming community and deal with all the bullshit you have to do to get a decent stream set up does it actually amount to anything?

>>165833812
PUFFY

>>165833680
thanks for not fucking up the OP

>>165834074
The only people actually interested in that kind of stream are other devs (and very few non-devs). And those will usually stop watching when they notice they can't learn anything from watching you do it.

>>165834074
I would say the livestreams are bad for your personal development

If you want to do it, I would honestly, record the development session offline, then just stream the video playback and answer questions in chat when/if they come up.

Unless you're doing something like that project that's being entirely streamed, its not worth it.

Twitch as a platform is good for a lot of things, but it's absolutely not good for game development since there is a lot of fucking around and often you're going back to something way after the fact.

Youtube is a much better platform for game dev stuff imo.

>>165834074
I can understand people watching video games. Watching other people dev though? Unless you're already friends with the person or part of their dev team, I literally see no reason why would you do this other than looking for more things to procrastinate to.

>>165834348
live coding can teach you a lot.
art as well.

Is there an AGDG for nongame dev?

>>165834348
> other than looking for more things to procrastinate to.
That's the appeal maybe. It's a kind of procrastination, but not as bad as marathoning some tv show or edging for 5 hours

I wouldn't watch deving but I'd watch art/animation under the right circumstances weed and comfy music

>>165834074
Some fag called Dan Schifferman (I think) does dev streaming, but he's doing it as a tutorial session, not as progress stream.

It works as long as you have discipline and a decent attention span. If it doesn't work for you is because you lack those.

>>165835467
depends on your culture, the hardest thing is from east and westerner to learn each other language.
japanese and chinese are extremelly hard for a westener, meanwhile english and romance languages are extremelly hard for japanese.

I gotta say that I really don't get it at all but that GUI is simply hella stylized. But I'm not sure if that's in a bad way yet or not as I have no context.

A big problem for me, I'm trying to make sure my GUI is visible in split screen mode so I have a set area I can have it in and that's it. This forces me to have to get really creative or die trying. I don't know how well I did since I can't step back from it at the moment since I'm to involved, but I did get nice comments on it the other day even though it's STILL spotty as shit. But I will say that that is way better than what I would have done if I didn't have limitations.

>>165841143
“If the red cross emblem or similar signs are used for other purposes, no matter how beneficial or inconsequential they may seem, the special significance of the emblem will be diminished,” an email sent to the game’s developers reads. “The red cross emblem or similar designs are not general signs of ambulances, health care, first aid, the nursing or medical profession, or similar matters. Moreover, they are not signs to be used for commercial purposes, such as for advertising campaigns or on products.”

You'd have to live under a rock to believe this. What a pile of bullshit.

>>165841486
It really is a fight though, anon. Lots of time spent talking with others too and looking over GUI samples. It's also a fight in that I really wanted the GUI to be colored with the player's favorite color, so I'm trying to work that in too.

As a content creator, that's a pretty good mindset. Keep pushing yourself and see what you can make from those restrictions.

Just make sure to not get so caught up in pushing boundaries you forget to just like, make game.

Yeah, I know. The RPG side of my game is complete, I'm implementing merging it into the action side, and then I'm focusing on the action side.

I just don't want to tack on stuff like I did with my previous games and make royal messes out of everything, so I'm taking it in phases and milestones and pissing people off because my old as fuck game maker prototype doesn't exist anymore, so everyone assumes I'm going about this wrong.

Well, basically you want to put no effort into your game and have assets just magically arrive on your doorstep. If you aren't even motivated enough to figure out how to attract an artist or make art yourself or do whatever it takes to get your game made, I don't think there's anything to talk to you about. I wish you the best of luck living in that dreamland of yours, though.

>attract an artist
Of course, and there it is again. I started to talk about assets but you had to bring your artist gods in it. It's always about pleasing them.

I don't know why I expected a different answer today. Forget it.

>>165844543
Well, calculus could be useful if you want to generate 3D maps and stuff. But nowadays, I believe you would find those kind of stuff for free.

>>165844771
anon, where exactly do you think art comes from?

How do you go about scrolling environments in games? Can I just create the environment and either move the camera over it or move the environment, or do I also have to spawn the envirionment and despawn it again for better performance?

If yes to spawning, then how do I do this?

>>165844848
the muses, the artist is but a tool in the service of god

>>165844990

>>165844771
You either attract an artist or become an artist when it comes to making art for your game. I can't even imagine being so distant from my own game that I wind up using asset packs. That just boggles my mind completely. If you believe in your game and have a vision for it, that's something to work for, but if you just give so little a shit about your game, why are you even bothering to make games? To try to leech money off filthy mobile casuals? Is making a good game even a priority for you? If you're really that bad you can literally just use boxes or something else. Get motivated, pal. I believe in every dev here's ability to get things done, but the matter of varying motivation is a different story.

And spend months on a game that will barely get noticed by agdg.
Don't bring placeholder dev up, he's just one exception to the rule and amusingly very few people have tried his DD12 game despite all the praise which shows what agdg really thinks about placeholder games.

>>165845412
So any time anyone tells you to move a camera you're going to come back with "ummmmm well ACTUALLY, if you didn't know, the CAMERA doesn't REALLY move, it's ACTUALLY the game world that moves IN RELATION TO the camera"?

>>165845353
deleting objects creates garbage, which triggers the collector, which causes lag

keep an object pool and just deactivate/reactivate what you need, never delete anything unless you have to

everything needs to be transformed every frame anyway, the renderer only has a single space, it can't move, you have to transform the scene as if it is moving

every single 3d game ever made does this

>>165845353
If by scrolling environments you mean like endless loops of stuff like boss battles in Sonic Advance 2, yes you move the environment for those.

>>165845434
I don't feel like he is one, yet.

>>165845447
Who cares, anon? It's your game, and you made it. Do you need any more validation than that? With the hundreds of games releasing daily, we all have extreme difficulties competing. If you're not in it solely to make good games, you'll not find it very rewarding.

>>165845628
Also to reply to you again, yes that global offset is typically how cameras in games work. You shift everything when you draw it.

>>165845412
I'm not really sure what you are trying to get with it, but camera is the device used to determine a viewpoint to the screen.

You don't go into any dev engine and move every single environment element. You move the camera, which has an optimal way to shift stuff.

Backfist, swipes enemies to the side after lancing a blow

Double lariat, spin attack that scatters enemies all around you

Jab, can be used to cancel other attacks, interrupts enemy attacks too

Hammer fist, bring your fist downwards in a swinging motion, can put enemies into a dazed state

Haymaker, takes a long windup and if you miss you stagger forward and have a longer cooldown animation before you can act, but if you land it does a shitload of damage and crushes enemy guards

Keeping every single object is going to lag much more. Do you think games loads the entire game scenery pool, and then just activates/deactivates what it needs on the stage?

Almost all games have load points, where the player must go through to advance to another part of the map, it used to be black screen with loading on it, but modern games started adding pre-rendered cutscenes to it to make the transition less visible.

I didn't mean pre-rendered as in small movie-like animations like in the earlier MGS, I meant like the ones in Uncharted 4, where they make you have to proceed through a specific place, and when you start going through it, you can't stop, because it is just a pre-rendered animation being played while the game finishes loading the next part of the map.

Use red box and white cross.

Man your shitposting is extra aggravated today. Did you uninstall garry's mod in another fit of rage or something?

>>165849308

That's a colossal understatement.

People don't need to always like or reply when they're busy throughout their day. Do you LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to every video you watch on youtube?

>wouldn't that kill you pretty instantly
Depends on how much air you got in your lungs and if you plug your orifices. If you then use the ship's shadow to shield yourself from the nearest star, you can survive surprisingly long.

>>165850321
>pretty instantly
Nope, it will take 15 second to die on average, unless you try to hold your breath in which case your lungs will explode and you will die sooner

This is why you will never be taken seriously in the gaming industry. You can't take criticism from someone who's a better judge of your work than you are, because they're not biased of the work.

PS, I have worked on several major games you probably have played, and I've made a popular indie game too. If you knew who I was you'd shut the fuck up.

you can survive until you run out of oxygen in your blood, you can't hold your breath in space

Good thing you will never disclose any details we could check, otherwise you'd look like a fucking idiot, right?

Not if you're prepared for it. It wouldn't exactly be pleasant though. The important thing is to not breathe. The moment you do the extreme difference in pressures will literally pull all the gas out of your lungs and potentially cause other sorts of damage.

You'll be in an immense amount of pain as well, as your fluids will boil. Not your blood, thankfully, but it'll still cause you to swell up in size. If you manage to not breathe during this you've got about 15 seconds of oxygen.

If you brought an oxygen tank along though the wonders do not cease. The UV rays from the stars are going to give you a wicked sunburn -- worse, since you've got the full full spectrum of starlight hitting you, your DNA is also going to get shot to hellfire as you get pounded by cosmic radiation. Enjoy your cancer.

It is also extremely cold but thanks to it being a vacuum you'll only lose heat very slowly.

In sum, you've got about 1 or 2 minutes before you die in space without a suit.

plugging orifices != holding your breath

That's great because I was trying to emulate that style, it's sooo good. Of course my attempt is not as good.

>>165850764
hyperventilating, then exhaling is probably your best bet, should give you a few minutes of consciousness, assuming you don't overdo it and knock yourself out

does it hurt to die in space?

>>165833680

Does anyone know if it's possible to make a funky room transition where the screen shatters like in those old school RPGS with gamemaker?

>>165850989
does it hurt to suffocate, be burned by radiation or having your internal organs shredded?

>>165850989
Nah having you blood boil is comfy AF

>>165850989
Well, let's see. Your eyes and skin are boiling, along with your stomach fluids. You're getting a horrendous sunburn. You're swelling up to about twice your present size thanks to those fluids turning into gases. It's pretty much dying being boiled alive while also being microwaved, both inside and out. It'd be pretty excruciating.

Hopefully you'd lose consciousness quickly.
