Even though you are right, the recap guy had been replaced by another one. I don't know the reason behind that, but it's cool that someone had the balls to carry the torch.

It's fine there.

Why is UE4 going back to forward rendering when deferred rendering is the future?

>>168593925
Forward is just going to be an option for the games that benefit from it, it isn't going to be the main one.

>>168593925
deferred rendering was a meme, there's nothing you can't do better in forward

You haven't made it as a dev until someone's made porn of your characters

>>168594280
When using many lightsources the deferred rendering gives you much better performance.

If your game's only light source is the sun, then maybe forward rendering is the bettter option for you.

>>168594508

You can't make yourself make it by drawing your own porn, that's not logic

>>168594508
>everything that exists has porn
>your game literally doesn't exist until it has porn
this is true and you know it

1. Many of Yandere Simulator's systems were scripted in inefficient ways, and I lack the expertise to refactor these systems properly. At some point in the future, I will require the assistance of a more experienced programmer to re-implement many of Yandere Simulator's core mechanics. Character AI is my weakest area, and is a huge part of Yandere Simulator.

2. I am unwilling to bring another programmer onboard the project right now, because refactoring so many parts of the game would most likely take an extremely long time (I'm estimating about 6 months) and I am unwilling to allow a delay of that magnitude to happen before the game's crowdfunding campaign, because a 6-month period without any hype would drastically damage the chances of a successful crowdfunding campaign.

3. I am very grateful towards every Patron who is generously supporting me, but the Patreon donations are actually a great deal of stress for me, because I feel an overwhelming amount of pressure to avoid disappointing my Patrons. I am heavily considering downgrading Yandere Simulator from a full-time job to just a hobby, because the task of making significant progress in a timely manner is proving to be extremely stressful and detrimental to my physical and mental health.

Do devs really care about fan creations, not to mention if they are lewd?

I've seen fan arts get completely ignored before, and lewds which triggered the dev. It's like a total gamble from the artist's standpoint how will his work be perceived.

>>168595062
So he's self aware enough to know he's got problems but not competent enough to solve them?

>>168595129
Personally I'd take any art, innocent or lewd, as an honor
if someone cares enough about something I've made to create their own art based around it, that's a huge complement

I can understand devs not responding to every single thing they get though. I wouldn't personally get offended at porn but I know people who are anti-porn who would probably dislike it out of principle

>>168595129
i appreciate every piece i get, it's super rewarding to see someone else draw your stuff and i think most devs think the same
i'm sure people who get triggered by lewds only do it ironically

Ok so I need a bit of help with making a character look a bit more adult.
this is one of the MCs for my castlevania clone, her outfit is not final, I'm going to add a big fur coat that stops at her hips.
My issue is, she looks like a kid, and I want her to look a bit more ara ara~ (since she's a mom)

Any tips? I have a feeling it's mostly the head size.
I tried searching for models from Dracula X Chronicles for PSP for reference but for the life of me I can't find anything that works in blender

How much soda do you guys drink? Be honest

I literally haven't drank soda in 2 years

>>168595528

>>168595481
smaller head longer legs

>>168595481
head size but also shape, adult heads tend to be narrower while kid heads are rounder

>>168595528
1 can every 4-6 months I guess

Is Yanderedev autistic or does he just have a specific regional american accent? There's something about his drawl and intonation that I just can't stand

>>168595528
500ml per week or so, only when it's pizza day.

>yanderedev doesn't know how to make a state machine

how fucking embarrasing
it's literally just a fancy name for managing states with an enum rather than multiply horribly chained and nested ifs

>>168595528

>>168595528
I had at least 2L a day for a few years. Now I'm only on tea and natural juice.

wait what the fuck yanderedev's been using javascript this whole time?

how can one man be so incompetent, be aware he's incompetent, yet be too insecure to try and fix his problems without whining about it on youtube?

Is this one person?

>>168595528

I do. Anything fan made means someone liked my stuff enought to take the time to make something based on it.

>>168595898
I find it so weird how he seems to be treating Yandere Simulator as if its anything other than a dumb meme game. Like, he's talking about crowd funding and hiring professionals and stuff as if he's making some sort of high budget epic adventure filled with lots of content and depth, when in reality its just a dumb meme game that got popular due to youtubers and kids.

>yanderedev thinks if he partnered with a company, them having 50% of the profit is unreasonable

how fucking dense can he be? How would he deal with working on a game with one other person if he was the one who came up with the idea, let alone a larger team?

why can't someone competent try and cash in on the anime fetish market so this guy gets his shit together?

>>168596297
Lots of anime porn games already exist, Yandere literally only got popular because of the constant controversies the dev drums up, not because it's a good game.

>>168596251
Why the fuck do these people overcomplicate things. People have been using mouse for rotation and WASD for movement for thousands of years now. Don't reinvent the wheel. You've got a mouse on pc so use it.

>>168596251
middle click + mouse gestures to rotate. edge scrolling

>>168595528
I've had maybe one soda in the past 3 years.
I used to drink like one can of soda daily. But I decided to just stop that. Now I drink water almost exclusively.

>>168596251
the main problem I can see is you've got your y axis rotation rotating around a focal point (with the camera being a radius distance away from that focal point), yet the x rotation is local to the camera's position rather than being based on the focal point like your y rotation. It should be one or the other

As far as controls go, what other controls are there for the game? It doesn't make sense using both the left and right hands for different aspects of the camera's movement if you still have to move the character as well

Visual stuff, mostly.

I have so many surfaces going on I'm scared it will all just crash at some point. Gotta fix all memory leaks soon at some point.

Implemented rocket shells (for enemies) and added another enemy tank.

Made all tanks and bullets a bit slower to make the game less hectic at times (might have made the player's battle tank too slow to be fun, though).

Originally I made the enemies deal different amounts of damage, but I think I'll keep it at 1 damage per enemy bullet. The player, however, will have differing damage output (battle tank shells deal more damage than scout etc).

Gotta start implementing different perks (extra armor, faster reloading...) and level progression as well.

1v1:ing some tanks is actually quite chanllenging.

Reminder that quirky self-deprecating humor won't hide how shit your writing is so you better get good at it.

Read and write, ask for critique.

And by reading I mean read good stuff. What is good stuff? Check /lit/'s recommendation list for a start. Read analyses or critiques of other literature, or analyze what you've read yourself. Understand how a given event or an object is described trough words.

Also listen to real life dialogue around you.

I've got a weird model bug going on in Unity. My model is inside an empty gameobject, and it's origin is set to be at the feet. When the game is running, it correctly positions everything, but when its in the editor it shows the model as being below the empty gameobject for some reason. If I make it align in the editor, it ends up above the parent while playing. It also appears to mess up what counts as the transforms position as well.

I'm making a third person game with static or semi-static cameras a la prerendered background era games

would you be mad if there wasn't any mouse input on a computer game? just using WASD, arrow keys, enter, spacebar to jump, shift to run, etc?

I kind of built the control so that you could easily connect a game controller to your computer and use that, but I don't want to alienate people. my justification was that all RPGMaker games are no-mouse and those are still popular, but I'm not sure what people want or expect these days

Yanderedev is fucked. I never cared about the /v/ Eva drama or people's opinions of him as a person. But I now believe him to be a fucktard.

>>168604234
Unity is the only way to make a game.

>>168603920
do you mean a game like resident evil or silent hill? i think controls will be very difficult especially with wasd and for the current generation of players. even with controllers it is difficult to make controls feel okay from static cameras. when it switches between them is the worst as the player must reorient but you dont want the character to suddenly switch directions but at the same time its better to have the character move relative to the camera rather than their own orientation

>>168596183
>I find it so weird how he seems to be treating Yandere Simulator as if its anything other than a dumb meme game.
He's guaranteed to make millions whenever he starts a kickstarter for it. He's already received the go ahead from his fan base. They are literally begging to make him rich.

It may just be a meme game but I'm not surprised how much this went to his head and how things have ballooned out of control. Once a project is worth millions of dollars it doesn't matter how stupid it is you'll start taking it very seriously.

What I'm seeing though is Yanderedev imploding into himself because he's not getting enough attention and praise (somehow) and now he wants to be a tragic overworked artist martyr figure.

>Yandere literally only got popular because of the constant controversies the dev drums up
Incorrect. He utilized /v/ to gather thousands of followers before he outed himself as being Evaxephon after which /v/ hated his guts, but the followers were already hooked. Then he moved to reddit and octochan (reddit being the one that matters) and further expanded his fan base there. No controversy needed. In fact most of yanderedevs fans have no idea there is any controversy with him. About anything. They know only what he whines to them about via his youtube updates.

>>168604649
>What I'm seeing though is Yanderedev imploding into himself because he's not getting enough attention and praise (somehow) and now he wants to be a tragic overworked artist martyr figure.
I think you're reading too deeply into it and what's actually happening is just that the project is difficult

but then again, this is also the general that constantly cooks up weird shitposting canon about its users faking eachothers deaths and people shooting eachother irl so whatever

>>168604551

>>168604967
>the project is difficult
His feature creep (more like explosion) was incredible. Now instead of selectively yanking features he's hinting that he's just going to downgrade the entire project to a "hobby" whatever that means.

I'm starting to really believe Yandere Simulator is a stillbirth game. Something is wrong with the dev's brain.

more or less, like final fantasy games 7-10. I wanted to give it that "cinematic" feeling rather than just the "generic video game third person camera that follows you around and which you can maybe rotate with the mouse"

I can't think of a good alternative without using the mouse. if I add the mouse I'm going to have to restructure the whole input because it would be awkward to move with the mouse and then have to switch to the arrow keys to navigate the menus.

I've already got the movement aligned with the camera so the up arrow always move the character upwards on the screen.

the problem is there are only 8 directions of movement with WASD, while there are "infinite" with a controller thumbstick, so it looks kind of awkward when the character turns

Why does it feel like the better I get a programming the more difficult GMS becomes to work with?

>>168610260
It is designed as a gateway language. The really neat stuff you do as a pro is locked away so scrubs don't get overwhelmed.

>>168610260
Because it's honestly worse for abstraction than even C is.

>>168610260
Are you a serious gamedev or not? Gamemaker is a perfect engine that serious gamedevs use to create million dollar games.

>>168610253
I wouldn't either.

>>168610398
Should I move onto something like Unity or perhaps C#/Monogame or C++/SDL2 then?

>>168610519
Monogame is great if you're looking for a lot of flexibility without having to do a lot of the basic stuff like implementing a sprite renderer.

>>168610260
Because you're using the visual scripting, and visual scripting is bad.

>>168609913
personally I'd make the squash animation a tad more subtle. More details is always a good thing so you wouldn't want to remove it entirely.

>>168610519
>>168610582
Well, SFML is the same way but I would recommend you use C# over C++.

Extremely smoll progress

Lootboxes
Side rooms with upgrade stations/save stations/loot can now spawn
Canned lighting system for now because it's a pain in the ass to make it work right

The next step is to make a room that goes to bossfights and link the boss exit to a new level with different spawning parameters.And a map of how deep you are in the planet would be nice. Also any suggestion for enemies are welcome.

-> P RO G R E S S <-

Starting to look like a game, I think.

Level "progression" is now in. The missions are randomized (at the moment) and there is no logic behind enemy selection, but the system works. Once all enemies are destroyed, it goes to the next level (that is, mission numer goes up, level seed in randomized and the room is re-loaded).
If the player dies, the same mission repeats.

Also added low walls that can be fired over but not moved through (not in the Webm) and made some new mission rooms (I can literally draw rooms as sprites, no need to use GM's sucky level editor).

This is Blue, the actual boss of Verse(stage) 01. All of her special phases are flower based.

My encoding is getting a little better, I think, but could still use some work. As of right now I am wrapping up the first stage for the most part. Missing sound and no music whatsoever but stage 1 layout/fights are 90% done and stage 1 art is about at about 90% (the pink HUD can be changed if it is not your style, I am planning to make about 10 of them to pick from)

3/4

Her second phase, Lunar Bloom (her 'bullets' are primarily petal shaped because of her theme)

4/4

Blue's final phase, Full End Flower. It constantly blooms and sheds its petals.

Part of me wants to continue to clean up this stage but another wants to continue on to Verse 02 and come back to this stage later. And again, no sound or music so eventually I need to give thought to that as well.

It builds by normal attacking but decays over time. The current combo though is a multiplier at the end of stage tally. At combo 10 it changes your moth dust to not only eat bullets but also add the bullets to your score using the combo as a multiplier as well (combo caps at 15)
