So let's talk about game design no-dev shit.

How much of the 'high concept' design of your game do you really intend and plan out? Do you just create a basic idea to tell a story or create an interesting gameplay loop on a superficial level, or do you go deeper and attempt to create a type of gameplay that really enforces the core theme or experience you are trying to craft?

>>166371278
Do what you want.

Considering I haven't made a game for 4 years now, I've gotten pretty good at the concepting stage, planning out most everything in advance.

I just want to finish one ;_;

>>166371576
I'm guess that you have to load Monoscripts and not just load the goals directly?

If so then looks good, very few people make use of the removeall with predicate as much as they should

what this guy says is truth. Vitamins are undervalued. Gyming and taking vitamins would help IMMENSELY with focus, something I myself need to get ontop of as I have so many unfinished shit that I want to do, start, but never finish. I have hard trouble focusing on one thing and I believe if I start gyming and changing diet/taking vitamins I would be much better off.

Proper sleep is also very important.

Depressing but it's something.
At say $5 after Steam cut/taxes per, still plenty of dollars. Enough to sustain a 1MA.

>>166372815
>I'm sure that if you really dig deep into it you will find that it isn't 1MA.
Oh not this again. Depends entirely where you place 1MA, if you call licensing music or buying assets not 1MA nothing is truly 1MA.

Is coco2d worth looking into?

>>166373216
Seems suspicious. Just curious or are you working on a game?

>>166373138
Hey dude, we can team up!

The only caveat is I'm not a programmer, I'm more of a concept manager. More of an ideasmith. But if we can find the programmer, then we could just split the work 3 ways equally!

I really should make some fucking assets. I've got a degree in art. I know how to 3D model. But I've also got crippling self-doubt and anxiety

being an artist gets you a fanbase and gets you laid
being a programmer gets you rampaging relatives who need help with turning their computer on and will blame you for the malware they suck in in masses

>>166373840
Game programmers are sad little men secluded in their dark rooms that failed/didn't bother to get an engineering/cs degree and thus a real job.

Artists are outgoing individuals that studied what they loved and get tons of pussy/dick despite being jobless and having to freelance for manchildren making videogames.

What do you think?

>>166374259
So you're telling me artists are coat tail riding normie parasites basically

>>166373840
As an artist, I both envy the programmer for his simple-minded tasks and feel relief that I follow a more creative, fulfilling path than what boils down to something akin to reading instructional manuals.

>>166374384
I don't know, anon, I feel the other way around. Programming is a very relaxing thing to me, because it's objective. If it works it works, and to find the way to make it work is like the best puzzle game ever created. It's just pure fun, and I know that there's an answer and a solution to every problem out there.

Yet art is very frustrating. Even if you do your best, it can still be shit if you measure it with other standards. I loved arts when I was younger, but this feeling of working on something without knowing if it will ever appeal to anyone just kills me now. Not to mention the "practice" meme. How much for how long and how? There's simply no way to tell if you are going to spend the next years or months on this thing before you get any passable results. At least I know that my game works and that's a very good feeling. Even if it's with spaghetti, I have managed to implement physics or some other system. Maybe when I start a new game I'll have enough experience to do it better, but I don't care, because I was able to work and have fun. But with art, you can not work until you get that thing right, and drawing shit is just not fun. You can not have placeholders in your drawings.

Damn, even just thinking about how frustrating art is makes me teary eyed.

>>166375415
At the risk of seeming like I'm meming, can I ask what language you program in? I've always wanted to get more experience in it, my early impressions were... Not good. You're right in some ways about some ways in which art is frustrating but it can be extremely soothing at times as well.

>>166375415
Programming is a lot more discrete and precise. Art is like a function full of artifacts that depends entirely on the current state of the program and could yield different results for the same input at different times.

>>166375523
I don't want to meme you, but C++.

I think an /agdg/ collab is possible and I'm here to tell you guys how to make it work :

/agdg/ as a WHOLE will make a game, one game, a single game, which will be the official /agdg/ game. It shall be decided beforehand whether the game is 2D or 3D and on which engine it will be made - these two things are the only requirements needed to start.
Then what? Have EVERYTHING, which means assets, musics, codes, etc, uploaded to some sort of online cloud/website. Whenever someone works on something, they can announce it in the thread if they wish, either way, bam, they upload it to the /agdg-game/ website along with whatever code they wish to attach. Have everyone work on the game in a very random way and before long you'll get something working. Who knows, a sidescroller that is also a top/down game? A RPG which also a space shooter game? All of these at once? Think "twitch plays pokémon" here.

/agdg/ can pull it out, it's just that easy, we just need a simple platform and then everyone can poor their creativity and ideas in it to make the best game 4chan has ever created. There are NO limits, there is NO limit.

RTS combine the complexity of large interfacing systems with the logistics of real time action. That's why it is so hard.

Population growth and migration mechanics progress
--------------------------------

[+] Population is abstracted into "pop" variable, where 1 pop == 1,000,000 humans. Makes it easier to calculate numbers.
[+] Game's time is divided into "ticks", which are kinda like turns. One "tick" represents a week. It is still open to change. I figured that 1 day ticks would be too autistic. And I also figured that 1 month or even 1 year ticks would be too normie 4X tier. So, I went with the middle road.
[+] Population on each planet grows 0.01% each week.
[+] Each star has habitability values. Habitability value determines how lucrative that star is as a new home.
[+] Habitability can be naturally low and it is also lowered by current population in there. The more population is there, the lower habitability gets.

--------------------------------------

What is going on in the WebM?

The star with the yellow/light-green circle, has 1.000 billion population at the beginning and 3 habitability. 3 habitability is like living on Venus. Once I unpause, all that 1.000 billion people will go to live anywhere else than there. And they do. Each star eventually gets filled with people according to its habitability value.

The numbers at top left are weeks since game start.

I dont think it can. As far as I can tell when it moves onto a border space it gets sent back the other way, and because the border is just a rectangle it doesn't have any points where it could make another violation.

This is starting to feel CUHRAYZEE, /agdg/. This concept feels like it's coming together in a really cool way.

More combo work (I love how easy it is to slot attacks together here), some back-end work that handles things like attack wind-up and swing speeds on a per-weapon basis using a table, a more robust spline-based "swipe" system that can handle shapes other than simple arcs, and the first application of a (tweaked) Fist Summon effect to a combo finisher.

Also adjusted the air floating mechanics for combos, it feels really satisfying to use now. The advantage to doing it this way (apart from making for a potentially more interesting momentum management game) is it prevents you from sequence breaking platforming segments too easily by air comboing.

Can't blame you.

when I actually get around to implementing "actual" values and add humans then interstellar humans would probably start out at around 40 billion population (40 000 pops). By the time humans start colonizing other stars, they have had plenty of time to grow. By that time there are probably a lot of people living on other planets in Sol aswell. Considering that, even 40 billion would be a pessimistic quesstimation.

Why not "1 pop == 1 billion" instead of "1 pop == 1 million", then? Frankly, Sol Nations faction will start out like that, but actual playable interstellar colonies would be in millions of people. This is simple because origin planet will have a modifier "Evolved to Live on this Planet: +100 Habitability". Which means that most of the population will live in Sol early on. And early colonies will be having populations in millions early on instead of billions.

pixelart has been used in the games in the past not as a design choice, but because of limitations developers back in the day were facing. hardware was simply too limited to display anything but a few low-resolution sprites with little color and with little animation.
the issue with rixel aesthetic is that it completely destroys one of the main problems developers were facing - having to adhere to a strict, merciless grid of a small resolution, something that can be said to be more than anything the foundation of low-resolution art.
wario land 4 and many other games running on 32-bit/16-bit systems tend to upscale sprites quite often, but while they do so, they never break the limitations of the native low resolution they're working in and when they downscale things, these things lose detail instead of gaining it. the scene keeps a cohesive look, because most of the elements work within a single scale.

rixel aesthetic isn't inherently bad, but saying it's authentic is a lie.

There's going to be a lot of work trying to find (free) fitting imagery as well as making the whole thing cohesive. There's also that you have to put more work in anything self made you want to add to make it fit the assets since it can't be as simplified or stylized.

I think it's worth a try, I could see it work honestly. Once (if) the project starts I'm sure more people will be entranced to participate, it's just that for now people are naturally against making effort towards something so fuzzy that has never been attempted before.

If it does utterly fail then it'll be known and the topic won't have to be brought up again. There's no harm in trying. Don't you guys want to see some sort of "official" /agdg/ game made by everyone out there? I'm genuinely curious as to what it'll look like.

I want to create sort of a mine, I still want it to collide with the floor and react to gravity but I don't want the player and enemies get blocked by its model, I just want them to sorta clip through it when walking.

What the fuck

you are incredibly naive and shitting up the thread

everyone here has their own projects, why would they work on something thats doomed to fail some newfag came up with?

in the physics settings you can choose which layers interact.

Anon >>166389736 is probably right, a chat would be good.

Votes were 7-7 so no harm in remaking it. This is last the time though. See you in 24h for the result.

>>166390210
If by sunshafts you mean that horrible bloom, then yes. Motion blur is alright I guess, personally I generally don't bother if I can get 60 FPS or higher in the first place.

something really interesting i noticed when people post human models on here:

if your model is really exaggerated like the that one, people won't really critique it and maybe even like it.

however, if you post something somewhat competent and based on some realism (but still not great), you will get vehemently hated and raged on or told to kill yourself instead of critiqued.

This project sounds fun.

Although, we need to think of a kind of game which actually can be made with a band of uncoordinated people.

I think that an action game(platformer, shoot'em'up) doesn't fit such a project. Such projects are too narrow in my opinion - we would be in a situation where only one person can actually code the game at a time.

A type of game that immediately comes to mind that could work is an RPG. RPG's, after all, are the embodyment of a million separate subsystems that are shitty on their own, but their sheer number of those subsystems makes it up for their shittiness. Someone can just make the combat. Someone can make a shitty minigame. Someone can exclusively make NPC's.

However, I think that this should START OUT as exclusively menu based - kinda like anime VN's. Once we have the menu based world traversing done in a reliable way - everyone can just go nuts on whatever they want from there. And then, this menu based world traversing can be substituted with smth else if there is someone who wants to do that.

What do you think?

---------------

Also, it could be an RPG in Tron-like setting. Not because of the aesthetic - rather because Tron-like setting lends itself to having limitless minigames.

>>166390771
well of course
if your art is Symbolic of a thing it can look however you want as long as people recognise it as the thing
if your art is Representative of a thing, it has to actually look like the thing or it's not doing its job

I'm going to start learning Unity and try and make a 2D game, any words of warning?

Fixing the stairs bug by not fixing the bug at all and just making it so its impossible to have level designs where you can push the puzzle cubes onto stairs.

Let me guess, the blocks have spikes on top of them because you couldn't code it so that Boku can move on top of them?
