I'm trying to find some information on how to create my own version of the procedural skybox in Unity
But every search result is just somebody saying "lol just give the default procedural skybox a directional light"

Does anyone have any good resources where I can learn about shaders or skyboxes?

I'd love to make music for games. I realize there is a flood of composers and there is basically no demand. I still get contacted a fair bit but nothing ever materializes. Why do gamedevs seek out composers when they're still in a concept phase with no idea how to actually make a game? Is it just because it takes no effort but still feels like progress? I'd happily dedicate a shitload of time to compose for some shitty game no one ever plays as long as it gets finished for once.

Honestly? As a composer music is pretty much the least important thing about a game. I don't see how any other aspects of development would be seriously affected by the musical direction. Sure lots of musicians are lazy as fuck but it still shouldn't take a considerably long time. A game should at least be in a working state before you need to think about music.

Like there aren't a shitton of musicians climbing over each other to make music for games. Any hack can slap together serviceable music these days. Lots more failed musicians than failed game devs.

I remember I posted to reddit maybe like 6 years ago looking to music in /r/gamedev and got 3k listens and a dozen dudes after my services (which all amounted to nothing). If I did that now I'd be downvoted into oblivion for blatant self promotion.

Musicians need to step their game up and innovate
Give the devs different versions of the same song we can fade between when its tense, or you get spotted by an enemy, etc

You don't come around these parts often, do you? If there's one thing we have in spades, it's failed game devs.
Anyways music is the one portion of game dev I can't do, and I know I'm not alone there. Programming is fine, gameplay is done, and my art is continuously improving. But I have zero experience with music. If you really want to work with game devs, then you're going to have to start shilling your music.

I really enjoyed DJ Sona'a design in League. Her music replaces everyone's BGM on the team and, as the game progresses to the climax point, the music starts to become more lively and energizing.

To design such a system a more involved relationship between a musician and game designer/programmer must be established. This can't be one-sided.

>>168868523
Music tells a player what they should be feeling in that moment. Different elements in music can call up specific events or stories that happened in the game already. Perhaps the music portrays a certain character unseen by the player's eyes.
It can point towards motivation, emotion, or can be used as a literal representation of something that the music is attached to.
Boss fights are usually intense, hence why the music has a higher tempo, includes more percussion, sometimes a choir or even some brass instruments to push urgency. Stringed instruments are used for tension, apprehension, or suspense. I can go on, the point is:
Music is equally important to story and gameplay. Each element goes hand in hand to help each other create an experience for the player.

Composing music itself, i will say, is much "easier" when both story and gameplay has been worked out. But there's no reason it couldn't take precedence.
Music can change the entire feel of a game in an instant. Horror games become less scary without music or sounds.

>>168870097
A filter effects the tonal properties of a sound by removing (and often adding to) certain frequencies from the harmonic spectrum. An LFO (or low frequency oscillator) modulated (or controls) the frequencies this filter affects (or other parameters like pitch of the note or volume).

i see most players just skipping those after the first time or two

look at it this way: let's say you're playing xcom enemy within. would you EVER take a 335 shot? because a 1 or 6 on a d6 is a 33% shot. and thats not a shot worth taking. ever

Never heard of it.
The site lists no example games.
The forums have some traffic.
The feature list is at least decent.

You could make a game in it if you tried. But why would you choose something that has a small community and few if any successful projects?

>>168871812
still sounds like something not worth taking a gamble on ever

again, would you EVER take a 33% shot in xcom? would you even take a 50% shot? how about an 80%? personally, i settle for nothing less than 90% and get mad when I can't secure a 100% and am out of rockets/grenades for guaranteed damage

>>168871986
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

>>168872063
You miss 100% of the shots that weren't guaranteed in the first place.

Don't waste your time firing when you can throw a grenade, fire a rocket, call an airstrike, or cancel the mission altogether.

>>168871951
>But why would you choose something that has a small community and few if any successful projects?

Because some guy on IRC recommended it to me.

Was wondering if any of you guys had experience with it.

Since I want to make a retro first-person game I'm tempted to just use a Doom source port engine (like GZDoom) instead.

>>168872123
>Cancelling a mission because you don't wanna miss a single shot.

>>168872163
: (

>>168869884
That is just the worst.

>>168871986
To be honest this is exactly why I don't like xcom, I just can't stand the dice roll shots. Too much randomness like that could possibly punish good plays, and sometimes reward bad plays.
However, that dice rolling for an item in the game isn't so bad, it's basically just a gambling room. It doesn't actually determine if you kill an enemy or not. As far as I can tell the actual combat is still all on the player's skill.

>>168871986
the difference between this and shooting in xcom is that you CANNOT afford to miss in xcom.

This is just money, which is not key to winning, and you should have some amount you can waste if you've been doing okay beforehand. (I'm just assuming so, though, maybe his game has money be really important).

You'll get recommended Unity, Game Maker, and Unreal Engine, in that order. While none of them is really suited to what you want to make, they all have the advantage of a huge community, and a dev team that's paid. There are a lot of engines out there that are technologically equivalent or better to the big three, but without the support and community.

That said, if you're making a doomlike, just mod doom isnt a bad plan.

Here's a question: say, hypothetically, I fucked up my game (hypothetically).
The game doesn't crash, and it runs fine, but I did something very stupid while making it and it uses more memory than it really has any right to. Again, it's not a stupid amount of memory, the game still runs perfectly fine and all. But it could be better.
I know how to fix the problem, but it requires rebuilding the backbone of my game. I would have to run through all of my objects, assets, and remake all of my levels.
Is it worth fixing? Could you live with just leaving something like this? I don't know if I can, but I really don't want to spend the next month remaking everything

Weird Discord people are trying to convince me to write my own engine from scratch but I know better than to listen to their nodev siren song.

>>168872581
>You'll get recommended Unity, Game Maker, and Unreal Engine

I know. Also, fuck that. I was considering UE4 but I heard producing moddable games in it is not really a thing. I was also considering Unity but the map editing story for Unity seems to be really weak. Game Maker is full-stop not a 3D engine, unless something has changed in the recent past.

>That said, if you're making a doomlike, just mod doom isnt a bad plan.

Yeah, pretty much! If I ever do want to make a prop that's a 3D model, though, I'm worried that I'd have to fight the engine to do that.

>>168872826
But what if you only use an existing open-source game engine and keep none of the same assets, familia?

>>168872983
Modding. Is. Not. Game. Dev.

>>168872946
Well, does it work? Based on what you've said, it looks like it.

People usually release software with the warning, that any damage cause by the software can not be blame on the developer, so you are safe here also.

I have only played one really fucked up GM game so far, which simply crashed, but kept on running in the background. I didn't notice this first, and I kept on restarting the thing, which lead to a moment where +10 instances of the game was running in the background causing extreme slowdown to the system. So if your game collects its mess after it's closed, I don't think you should worry about it.

>>168872497
xcom is a poorly designed game ihmo who in the right mind would make shots random based and then decide "well lets give enemies mind control,tons of hp,be in large number and/or placed in strategic spots" you need to deploy the best squad you can get and still have a slim chance to win this force player to savescum which is tedious and honestly ruin all the little "fun" you could get

kek, by what logic? You're producing gameplay.

Actually IS there a good map editor for interior scenes for Unity?

More specifically, one that is cheap or free (since ProBuilder costs 95 fucking dollars)

Let's say I have a 3D strategy game, like StarCraft2, where you usually look down on the game world as you would do on a map. So as I understand, I watch this world from a given perspective, yet the mouse moves in the orthogonal world of the window.

What is the usual method to calculate the point where the mouse clicks from window position to game world position? Maybe I'm looking at the problem from the wrong point, but the translation between the different perspectives is new to me.

I've got another vertex snapping question if nobody minds.
Its working and animated/moving vertexes snap fine however immobile objects don't visibly snap. I realized its because vertexes are snapping based on the world matrix rather than the view or projection matrix. I'm having trouble actually getting the snapping to that to work.
Please hold my hand again.

I remember banished dev saying that he'd probably spend as much time learning 3rd party engine features as making his own robust and 100% fit for his needs engine

>>168877140
Take a look at the bullet physics engine

>>168876937
It's fun, but extremely slow. Like you've said, just to get to the actual game play implementation phase, you have to set up a shit ton of other things. Model loader, camera etc.

Other than that, real time collision detection along with loading and handling models with animation is a whole new kind of art.

If I'm correct we have one very dedicated dev who engine devs an FPS with OpenGL. He rarely posts, though, but good progress, nevertheless. For 2D and maybe for 3D which does not require that much actual 3D logic it's perfectly fine, by the way.

It will, newfriend, it will. Furfags are an endless gold mine.

Is there any light-weight program that allows me to easily make flowcharts like these?

I'm making a sort of RPG with multiple choices leading to different outcomes and it looks like shit in a text file to be honest.

I don't like furry stuff but for some reason I'm sad he's not doing as well as he hoped. It looks like he put some effort on it.

Not sure.
But don't you have MS Office, LibreOffice or something equivalent installed? Powerpoint or Draw (LO) can do it fine.

>>168886925
It's not porn, so they don't really give a fuck. There has been quite a lot of failed furshit despite of /agdg/ opinion of it.

Also, there is the kickstarter bane nowadays, people prefer much more to pay for patreon than try their luck with kickstarter, since the dev did not show hard proof that he would rather die than drop the project.

yEd is a pretty good graph editor, or there's Twiner which was made especially for branching story editing.

I don't think he had a plan or anything for it.

I've never seen ads and like only after a week one's begging on his Twitter for advice.

I guess even furries can't expect money to just get thrown at them without some work for it.

Yeah, he probably overestimated the size and level of interest of his audience. Don't know how he marketed it as I steer clear of most furry forums and things, but it was definitely not enough.
People need to stop thinking that kickstarter is easy money. It's just a pre sales platform nowadays, no longer a 'fund my project' platform.

In GameMaker, is there any way to have an object draw itself at one depth and have it draw a sprite at another depth?

My sweet Lolita, a preying maneater
Left me in the number six motel
How was I to know
She'd strip me to the bone
And steal away my heart as well

Speaking of kickstarters what ever happened to David?

Loli chicken fight, characters have different abilities depending on whether they are top or bottom
At least one character in sukumizu is a must

Why wouldn't it be? You gotta be shit at something before you're good at something.

>>168888478

That's actually pretty inspiring.

>>168887935
Don't sweat it, anon. Does it work? If yes, then go on the next task, I'm sure there's plenty ahead. The next time you'll have to implement something like that, it will be much easier, and you might just find a better and more efficient solution all together.

Or do you want to learn kung-fu without getting hurt? That ain't gonna happen, anon. Stay strong! I want to play your game!

I have no idea why I haven't thought of powerpoint, guess I just associate it with slideshows and school presentations. I'll see if it plays nice and if I can get it to have the "infinite expanding" sort of page I want.

Note to self: Was walking on the footpath when a girl riding a horse went by, HORSES ARE FUCKHUGE! I am 1,80m tall and the back of the horse was taller than i am. Movies and games portray and make horses look way to small.

Trying to make a rocket jump prototype for fun.

I've never worked on anything even closely related to any of the knowledge domains necessary to make games yet I'm having fun. UE4 is really amazing for noobs, I mean, I still constantly have to learn a tremendous amount of things really quickly but I made that in only 4 days and that's only thanks to how easy to use UE4 is.

So far I've learned how to use blueprint, animations, physics, collisions and HUD. What would be the next step? I'm thinking AI so I can get some dynamic interactive elements going on

What kind of horse is that? My father breeds horses, I'm, 189, and all of their backs are around or under shoulder level. I know jack shit about them, so your guess is just as good as mine. Just wanted to let you know that those films could be right.

Bullet markers.

Wanted to draw bullets at a lower depth than the player and their markers at a higher depth, but you can't set a sprite's draw depth separately from the instance's.

So I have an invisible object loop through each bullet instance, get each of their target x and y, and draw a marker at that point. Not sure if this is efficient or not, but it works.

Visuals for my rhythm game.
I can't figure out why some components spawn when they shouldn't and some others don't delete themselves when they should.
It's also probably going to be placeholder visuals, as simple as it is to understand I think it's really boring.
