If you would like me, an Artist, to work with you on your game,
Just hit me up

But be warned. I won't work with just anyone.

Reminder that anyone who gives you shit because of the way you choose to make your game is a nodev and their opinion should be discarded immediately.

Amazing games have been made using a huge variety of engines, frameworks and other means of making games, and you shouldn't be memed into ceasing development because someone tries to give you shit for it.

Reminder to JUST MAKE GAME.

>the whole problem the genre has is that every new attempt at one either tries to be an exact starcraft clone for the esports market
The whole problem is that people think that Starcraft is ideal for the esports market and that everyone else just wants either TA or oldschool C&C.
For some reason, post-Generals C&C, Earth 21X0, Rise of Legends, Warcraft 3, Dawn of War and all other kinds of RTS are simply ignored.

You can bet your ass that a shitload of people would be in love with something that combined the strengths of C&C Generals, C&C 3 and RA 3.
(i.e. streamlined but not as streamlined as RA3)

The only guys who tried something were Petroglyph and they just suck at making RTS nowadays. Grey Goo was budget Earth 2160 and Universe at War showed us why you should never make a deal with Sega and/or Microsoft.

>uberent
You don't mean the fucks that did Planetary Annihilation, do you?
Because fuck them with a rake. They brought out an RTS without terrain features and were massively overhyped thanks to their defense force.

>discord clique whodev namefag

>>166565239
Once you get a bit more experienced it plays differently than Downwell, even though at the surface it seems like it's the exact same thing. Other than that we're adding more items, ways to trade resources and environmental modifiers/dangers. The initial idea, at least for me, was to just expand on Downwell since it seemed like a good game but with not a lot of content.

>>166565271
Thank you!!!

>>166565216
I had a quick view through your code. I like it. Though I think it's weird you use an outdated library like AnAl.

Also some people will get triggered over your globals.

>>166564448
I guess I don't remember it then

>>166565432
Most LÖVE animation libraries bind animation logic and resource handling/loading together, which is a bad thing to do. AnAL was the easiest one to change so that I could use only the animation logic part of it and handle graphics elsewhere.

As for globals it just makes sense to use them a lot for small games like these.

Can you help a beginner out?
I followed this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJFPtPQP2WE
But I can't figure out how to lose lives when an enemy hits me, I've tried to find out for a few hours but without success, can you give me some tips? I think it should be written in the enemy object as a collision event with the player object but further than that I'm lost..
Thanks to anyone helping.

>>166565934

You shouldn't have to tell people you're master race if you're master race.

Thanks.

That is the gameplay so far. Eventually you'll ride around the track in a little train, doing typical toy train things.

>>166566549
Sounds lovely, can't wait to play a demo!

>>166566549
So will it be a toy or a game?

Not even meming. I feel that the distinction is important.
Toys don't have goals (Think Minecraft, Space Engineers, etc.), games do.

Do you plan to add more frames to the turning? It feels weird for some reason. Other than that it's good to look at your game. It's very appealing to the eye.

yes, exactly
when a collision happens, you want to call it through either other.HP or [player object name].HP so the player object can update their hp

it's not a very difficult process, but you can ask anything you need to know if you need any pointers, i made a similar thing during global game jam

i'm not sure, i like the 6-directions but i get where you're coming from, it does look kinda choppy

Yup, I'm just getting basic shapes made so I know it all works. It initially didn't really occur to me that all the pieces have to be very deliberately proportioned to be able to line up properly.

What is with Vine constantly copying successful indie games?

First Cavern Kings being a clone of RoR and now cloning Downwell.

Do you really not have any original ideas?

Back off, yesdevs.

>>166567659

>>166567669
I'm the programmer and I had the original idea on this game so it's not like he's the one cloning anything. And I personally have no problem with clones that add something on top of an existing idea.

So you don't have a game then? No progress means no game, which means SCRAM!

Thing about programming is that it's one of those things where you basically need to invert your mind onto itself and mind break yourself.
There's a certain amount of mental resistance, which never goes away as long as you are pushing yourself.
You will only ever realize your progress when you go back to easier things, which have now become trivial to you.

The hardest part is finding something that pushes you and then pushing through.
And, unfortunately, good tutorials on shit are really fucking rare, unless you intend to study that shit at a good university.
I learned programming at a technical university and it was one of the best things in my life, despite everything else that happened afterwards. We had to go to class once a week and do a work sheet for two hours straight, until we accumulated enough points to count as not being absent.
Then in the second semester that got expanded to three hours with even harder tasks and some really fucking strict restrictions. Shit like "do this exercise without doing anything that isn't OOP".

Which language and what tutorials are you using?

How do I time my levels correctly?

I want the average time of a level to be 5 minutes.

Should I speedrun and make sure the level is still 5 minutes?

Should I play like a normie and make sure its still 5 minutes?

Or should I make sure its about 3 minutes but challenging so if the player dies they won't have to go through the same 5 minutes of gameplay they already went through but died and have to redo?

okay? I guess enjoy never getting feedback ever, unless you want plebbit upboats elsewhere

>>166574618
To nail down level times you really need to do testing across a wide group. As the developer, you will never be able to replicate that data. You can be the source of an "expert" or "staff" time but nothing more.

Trying to make each level a uniform length is a pretty lofty goal, though, It will involve lots of back and forth testing and tweaking. I would finish the levels, test them, and set time limits based on the test results.

>>166574618
Create your very own "dumbest expected user".
Make a few guidelines and play according to those. Time the levels according to that.

The magic is that few people can draw well and write jokes. It’s the combination of the two that makes what I do so rare.

I think there's been 1 in 10 threads for me. Of course that is skewed, because I only see the stuff directly replying to a non-filter post. When that happens, I check that filtered post, but so far none of them I regret having filtered. The actual false positives happen when a post replies legitimately as well as a shitpost and then gets hidden recursively. It's a drawback I am willing to take.

I don't even filter "source", because that is such a common word. Shitters keep using several unique phrases though, so they still get filtered.

>>166575265
Ah, well you see anon I've also filtered 'where is your game' and various other phrases that amount to that so enjoy talking to yourself from now on.

I need to make an input list for a round so that the game can load replays. What's the best way to store the inputs as the game is running?

>An arrayList where the index is the frame and the value is a list of inputs.
Fast access with the array, but lots of dead air on frames with no inputs.

>A map from the current frame to a list of inputs.
Slower to add to during game, but doesn't have to store empty input frames.

Which one will affect the framerate the least? Slower input processing or keeping a larger array in memory?

Rounds are arbitrarily long, but I expect an average of five minutes would be what most people would play.

Man it feels great when you spend hours programming and finally compile and it all works as expected.
Made a time manager system that allows you to subscribe functions to be called on various ticks
Have a json file that defines how long these ticks are, how long days are, and defines how long seasons are
And time is dynamically shown based on how long various ticks are defined. In this case it's 1, 30, 60, 240, and 480 with season length 15.

Even better is they are all various static classes so subscribing to them is easy, don't even have to tell it when to call your function, will automatically subscribe it based on the name of the passed function (passing a function called OnTick will always be called ever tick, OnLongTick ever 120, etc)

Next I'm going to work on a select system to show data about an object you select, a dynamic designate system, and stock piles.

Maybe I should make literal death threats to my boogeyman :^)

I don't want to make pixel junk "art games" since I fucking hate the "lol so retro xD" bullshit more than anything but I've always wanted to make a game and am trying to finally get off my ass and do it.

Nigger, the dude specifically DOESN'T want that style of tutorial.
He asked for tutorials for people who know zero programming.
Which is literally every single one, aside from very VERY few exceptions.

>>166578165
Hahahaha what the fuck. That's hilariously overengineered, though I hesitate to use the term "engineered" because it sounds awful.

who the fuck is rick:?

First danny shows his game then the nodev starts screaming and throwing shit on the wall and holds a knife to danny's throat. Nick shows his game and gets ill then leaves the bar. Nodev follows him home to laugh outside his window.

Barkeep says "Sorry I asked".

Either that or Unreal blueprints. They are great for beginners who know nothing of programming.

really glad the kickstarter gimmick is on its way out.

It ruins games.

I prefer 2D anyway and want to make 2D games, I just thought Unity was a good place to start for either one. Will skills in GameMaker really transfer over to future projects? My worst fear is that I'll spend tons of time learning to use a program instead of learning to make games.

Damn.

Also, by the way, 12 PM is noon and 12 AM is midnight.

> using fucking FTL as an example of kickstarter ruining games

fuck damn this thread is unsalvageable

>>166578738
Start small. You always learn, no matter what you do.
You can do a lot wrong with Unity, even by following tutorials.

well this is neato. i love the lighting. please tell me this is the map editor of some toy themed battlefront type game.

>12 AM is midnight
12 hour clock was a mistake.

>>166578790
>Damn.
Still not nearly enough.

I cannot imagine the amount of assets you actually have to keep track of. How is your file naming setup? Descriptive, truncated or numbered (i.e 001,002,002a,etc)

>>166578908
AM = ante meridiem (before noon)
PM = post meridiem (after noon)

>>166578881
I'm curious how you got battlefront from that webm

>>166578836
Alright, guess I'll switch to GameMaker then. It's only my 3rd day trying to dev so I guess I didn't really lose any progress by trying Unity first. Is GameMaker flexible enough to create a complete game that could be published or will I hit a wall with it before then?

>>166578824
That wasn't my point, personally didn't like FTL that much. I know there's much better examples.
