Righto.

A good chuck of the performance at the moment goes on the ambient occlusion, which I force on because tracks currently have no shading. Hopefully after some baked shadows it'll look fine without it.

Would you mind (or anyone with an older PC) going to the menu, opening the console (with `, the key next to 1) and copy pasting this whole line:
>stat fps | t.maxfps 500 | scalability 0 | r.ambientocclusionlevels 0
It'll make it look terrible, but I'd like to know if it becomes more playable. Your framerate should pop up on the right.

Alternatively

will attempt to find a good setting

1/3

Finally finished first pass of art update for MoGiSho (Moth Girl Shooter) my eyes burn because I have been going at this for 4-5 days solid on 3 hours of sleep and a ton of caffeine....

The Moth Dust (bomb) animation is still placeholder from the prototype, the progress for the first stage is about 50% done and the art for the stage is about 70% done. There is another parallax background the stage switches to after the mid boss (the encounter at the end of the webm) which is the city proper.

I feel like I am right on the edge of burning out because I pressed myself pretty hard to do this in a few days so I am going to get back to level layout and mechanics progress before I touch art again. I have no clue what I am going to do about music since the last time I even attempted to compose anything was about 15 years ago but I will do my best. Also I need to find some female voices for reaction sound effects like a yandere laugh during the moth dust ability (Violet Hollow Laughter).

Forgive the video quality, I am still learning how to record and convert properly. Two still screens will follow so you can see what it looks like without the messed up artifacts/noise.

Aye tracksdev, I was the guy who made the multi-track drifting fan-art, played the game and loved it.
One question: I accidentally did something (don't know how) and my cursor separated from the tracks and became the white circle thingy from the flying mode, but I couldn't move up or down and could only delete track pieces with the right click and switch to the train cam. I had to restart the game and only then the flying/building modes toggled properly. You might wanna check out what's wrong.

It would be a huge relief to not deal with this anymore. I think it was very telling how gogem and the shitposters started suggesting that we just get rid of jams because of the shitposting like that was the yesdev solution or something. Fuck that.

>>168436491
A PC game where regular updates were not seen as a bad thing. You can still play current games on high settings and good framerates with hardware that is half a decade old.

And when you convert 3D models to sprites, it really doesn't matter whether you have 2 perspectives or 16. Bastion did the same.

Nobody should listen to gogem or gogemposters. Just ignore any post with that name.

>>168436881
As was already said that was a great idea and agdg tends to ignore great ideas so we will just have to wait and see who takes initiative

>>168436881
Except people can just make empty itch.io accounts to vote.
At the same time, many people who enter Jams are newbies so they might make an account just to enter, so there's really no way to discern which new accounts are shitposters and which aren't.

It's funny because in America we don't just let any retard wander in off the street and make our laws. You have to be accredited.

For a gamedev it's as easy as putting your game in your itch.io account. Don't have a game? Then you aren't really ready to represent game devs.

why is this a problem though? everyone can vote even if they don't make games. that makes it fun, other wise the people who make games are just choosing what games they want to make... and also like 10 people at most will vote which leads to a shitty poll

the whole reason the poll went to shit is because of the spamming-bot that rigged the poll and made stupid shit win. if you need an itch.io account then you can't spam votes, one vote per person

If that's what you call stating reality as it is. I'm sure you see people telling the truth as some kind of ideological enemy. It's easy to appear as if you are controlling the narrative when others share your opinion, like moving jam votes to itch.io.

No need to do that with the current jam though as it appears it will be COPS

>Can you tell me how I can be sure that no bots made Pirates or Cops win?
You will need to rely on the collective agreement of agdg, which as of right now is reflected in the current poll
http://poal.me/uwq3j0

Your frustration over your misunderstanding of this situation is understandable and why we will be moving votes to itch.io for jams in the future. Know why? Because it's the collective will. Not narrative spurred by ceaseless shitposting for years on end.

2MB, 709x480px

In the collectathon platformer mechanics realm:
long fall damage now works. Falling (at a certain speed) for too long starts an inescapable fall animation (no jumping, attacking, etc., out of it) and triggers a stunned landing. Damage taken is proportional to how long the fall is.

As a bonus, the landing animation can be recycled for attacks which send Dixie flying.

In the cuhrayzee brawler mechanics realm:
attacks can now specify that they will "Use Stored Attack" when listening for an input. Every time an input listen window is triggered, the attack it WOULD play if that input was triggered is stored. If an animation that wants to Use Stored Attack is then triggered, when it hears an input it will dynamically select whatever animation was queued when it was triggered.

The net effect of this is that some attacks (right now, the double-jump and backflip, but also crouch attacks and a couple other situational command specials) which can be arbitrarily triggered at any point mid-combo will now no longer interrupt that combo, but will instead remember where it was and resume there.

This logic will probably be expanded a bit further when I reimplement Block Stocking, since I still love that mechanic

As an aside, I'm replaying Banjo Tooie and I'm wondering: were the warp-pad and warp-tunnel mechanics worth implementing here? Or is it one of those things where if it's worthwhile to teleport around the level, the level is too big and pointless to begin with?

I need some input from ideafags.

I want to do a game where you control a merchant and you go from town to town buying merchandise. You buy low and you sell high.

Basically, mount and blade without the combat, maybe a bit of spice and wolf in there.

I need to find a small game-loop to have while you travel from town to town, preferably not combat-related. Any ideas?

>>168442035
This is really amazing.
Like, imagine being so far up your own ass that you not only deny the possibility that other people voted for loli in earnest, you even deny them the option to vote for it, or for the other legitimate themes (mecha and construction). And you keep spamming your own poll time after time. Impressive.
I bet you came up with those two themes yourself and can't handle anyone wanting something else.

Quick rundown on this game?

So seriously, r8 my game idea.
>Dungeon Crawling tactical RPG
>Control a group of adventurers going through a dungeon
>Combat is hexes or grids, but all about positioning. ie entering into threatened space of enemy with longer reach weapon will let them attack you once and so on
>Very brutal difficulty, get hit once injuried twice die, characters don't come back once killed
>Risk vs reward style game; once you have some treasure you have to debate stopping or carrying on

How does this sound as a game concept? I need to know before I start working on it just to know if it has any marketablity.

Make a game then and put it in your itch.io account then you will have a voice. Should anons who can't play any instruments go to /mu/ and start attempting control over group activities there? Would enacting easy common sense solutions to prevent this be construed as censorship? Things to ponder.

Loli has never been censored. It loses every poll and is only boosted by VPN attacks which stink and are obvious and we all watch them and then move on with the real options like we already have.

Moving jam votes to itch.io instead of poal.me or strawpoll is the future. AGDEXIT now.

Are you implying someone was suppressing votes for loli all day yesterday up until the last 20 minutes of the poal when marmofeels and loli magically exploded in votes?

You are further ensuring lolijams will never happen simply because people detest giving babies what they cry for or even deliberately cheat for. The lolifags here are literally SJWs which is quite ironic. Really makes you wink.

>>168444496
That's actually a pretty fair point. It does seem like common sense and this argument appeals very well to my moral beliefs too. If you don't contribute to society or a group in any meaningful way then your opinion on the future of that group or society is basically negligible imho.

That's based on the assumption that loli really has never been censored.

Your argument checks out though. Its like homeless, non-tax paying, illegal, criminals, people to stupid/lazy/insane to get ID or function as normal citizens should not be able to vote in elections. They're opinion shouldn't matter because they don't assist the country in any way, they're literal drains on humanity, parasites.

My first ever progress post... without any game footage or anything because I'm phoneposting from bed:

>Learned how to raycast
>Used raycast to check for whether the player is on the ground or not, which in turn allows the player to jump

Assuming 2d game it's a good idea to do a couple raycasts under the character to check if he's grounded. For example one on each edge of his hitbox and one in the middle. If any of them hit then you can assume he's grounded.

congratulations you killed jams for good

>>168444159
Yeah, unless you can put all your sprites in the same sheet (which is harder the more colours you have, of course) you're much better off doing it programmatically. Then you're also open to animating the colour and other effects that wouldn't be possible with separate graphics, and it save you some offline work.

Made it possible to check for mimics by kicking chests. Might show a row of teeth or a glowing eye staring out.

Everyone starts off as a whodev.

Overtime, the community gives you a nickname and you no longer become whodev

Any advice to make this less convoluted or is it fine?

I'm trying to get an object to simply move to a mouse point but I want an acceleration.

Disinfo. We had our meaningful poll and it's still up.

The next poll will be on itch.io. Jams are not dead. Nice try.

>>168446453
Pretty sure Unity can do reflections.

>>168447764
it can't

>>168447735
Not always!

Sometimes it's "game that your game closest resembles-dev"

>tfw scope is slowly getting more and more out of hand

>>168447583
The only issue I can see is how you're detecting when it's finished. You should check whether the distance remaining is less than the speed, if so, move to the target point and stop.

I also don't see the point in previousPosition.

thank god

wtf i love godot now

In C# can bytes and shorts do math or are they converted to ints?

>>168446453
You know something is bad when it constantly tries to compare itself to the most popular thing in an attempt at relevance instead of standing on its own merits.

>>168447583
Speaking of style alone, what you have is fine and very standard.
Depending on your language there may be a clamp function [so speed = Math.clamp(speed+accel, 0, maxspeed)], but it's not even a upgrade in clarity really.

>>168447568
>tfw posted my game here for a year and never got a nickname

>>168446453
That looks terrible. Things on the ground don't touch their reflections, the coins are really dark for some reason even though the terrain isn't, etc.

>>168444327
>https://clyp.it/c4zftj5t
It's not bad but there are parts that don't feel too shoppy.

>>168447583
>>168447897
Oh, and specifically the issue with how you're doing it is that the object is likely to overshoot the target, then overshoot back the other way, and jitter in place as the process repeats.

>>168448020
Why don't you try it? I'm pretty sure they'd get converted but why are you even asking this, it takes one line to check..

Unless you're working with library functions that specifically use bytes and shorts, like low-level color work, you should never have a use for these types anyway. Stick to ints, premature optimization is the root of all evil.

well

an attempt was made

gonna put off learning character animations for a while and go back to working on the code :^)

>>168445369
Thank you for the kind words, anon!

>>168445662
You have the chance to make an amazing game, anon. Don't lose heart! Just keep at it and never give up!

>>168447921
Then who decides? You?
nice!

I think the guy is working basically alone and going against two massive companies that monopolize the industry. If he truly achieved something other big engines don't, I think he gets to brag a bit

tfw my first recap

>>168447897
> You should check whether the distance remaining is less than the speed, if so, move to the target point and stop.

it'll complete the transisition before stopping the next frame then?

do I just math the target and current position difference and compare it to the speed?

>>168448258
>then overshoot back the other way, and jitter in place as the process repeats.
I thought it would do that too but for some reason move toward seems to have that covered.

>>168448141
what if it's a shop that has a backroom you explore in a dungeon-crawl style

>>168447764
Water reflection is the only one included I believe. For mirrors you have to roll your own camera and texture/shader (or be a noob and buy an asset from someone who already did it). Either way it's not the same "rough reflections" demonstrated by Godot there.

>>168448326
Maybe more then one person? Now that would be nice!

>>168447921
Did I say that?
The poll is up and agdg made decisions. You want us to think you're shitposting and trolling but you're really just crying. A lot. It's annoying. Once we move to itch.io for future jam votes it will be nice not having to hear from you at all.

>>168447473
Will the act if assaulting them still make them attack you but just avoid a Dark Souls 'you got eaten' one shot? Either way it looks good as always!

>>168448020
On the CPU, all integers are processed as words. So a byte will be converted to a word, then back transparently. Compilers can sometimes "vectorize" multiple operations on smaller types into fewer operations on larger types.

In terms of you writing code, however, the result of a byte added to a byte will be a byte.

>>168448439
Great! Now please suggest a way that we can anonymously vote on the subject, without there being any doubt of the legitimacy of the results, that'd be really helpful!

>>168447473
Nice juicy progress right here

>>168448587
Epic, truly.

>>168448732
Ok rotatedev.

Remember to make your variable names as short as possible to speed up the game.

>>168448318
Looks pretty fantastic to me

>>168433254
I wish we had automatic garbage collection in our brains. I want to work on my game and every now and then I will get dedicated enough to open GameMaker and look at my code, and then I see how bad everything is and get discouraged by how much work it would take just to fix what I currently have.
