Well, it's the difference between you looking like an insecure nodev and a respectable, moderately successful yesdev. So I think it's in your best interest to put some weight behind those wild claims.

This is a first draft of a character we're working on. Cyberpunk setting. VN. Thoughts?

If i serialize an enum in c#, then change the add new enums to the enum definition and deserialize, will eserialized enum be incorrect? as in if the enum is serialized as a number instead of name then it would be incorrect which would suck for me

I've got a reality check for you slick. This is the bottom of the barrel. Anywhere else on the internet you run around flapping your mouth with your endless opinions about gamedev and all anyone has to do is click your name and see that you've never done anything. This isn't the last bastion for some underground elite of gamedevs. This is the last bastion of nodevs and posers.

I actually wanted to get angry reading this, but it's pretty damn reasonable when I think about it.

They do. I don't know how regular they are, to be honest. I can not stand /v/, so I only go there like once a week.

I also think they are set up by devs who are near to release and want to shill or just simply starve for attention.

I went to prototyping in 3D and slowly started to learn Blender and low poly until art collab bro shows up again to continue sweet 2D game (it has been almost two weeks now, wonder what should I do).

>>169574163
I like it reminds me of what lesser systems tried in the mid 90s when 3d was all the rage (like Sonic Blast in the game gear)

>>169578470
Thanks for the feedback!
I'm intending the air-dash to be more of a quick dodge type move, it brings you to max speed almost instantly so it's good for a quick turnaround

I am planning a glide mechanic later on though

>>169571689
I have seen something similar on Mercenary Kings, and it wasn't really fun, you may want to take a look on that.

You probably want to add in delta time, if you aren't using a fixed time step. Also this will probably create problems with physics if you use physics simulation.

>>169580738
the only physics should be grenades and jumping i suppose

ill take your delta time into consideration but what would that change?

>>169580890
Delta time makes sure things don't go in slow motion if the game tick slows down, or go at superspeed if the opposite happens.

>>169587103
That's not entirely true. Sometimes you make good progress, but no visuals to back it up with, so you just post at recap time, saying, "I've made asset loading faster; I've removed a bug which only appeared to every 10th player" etc. It's a sign that you and the project is still alive despite the silence.

Recap is only good for e-peen comparing and discord whoposting

>>169585957
Pls add shadow. Shadow helps you determine item location and will give an additional but natural visual queue when the item is lifted.

Also I'm not a fan of how the top lip of the case is part of the grid. The bottom isn't. Why the top? Fix!

Otherwise, this looks sweet. You doing a RE4 kinda thing?

it gives me something to look forward to every week showing off what ive been working on otherwise i might not make as much progress

----[ Recap ]----
Game: Skylarks
Dev: Mako
Tools: Rust, Blender, Logic, SDL2
Web: -
Progress:
+ Implemented process spawning, sleep/wakeup, text IO, and about 70% of the message passing subsystem
+ Wrote some demo scripts and set up a (kind of shitty) harness to use them as integration tests
+ Embedded the interpreter in a simple command line interface and fucked around running scripts in text-only mode
+ Embedded the interpreter in my actual engine and wrote a state machine to manage the compilation pipeline
+ Wrote a parser for a lightweight markup language I can hook into at runtime, and added highlighting support to my Vim plugin
+ Fleshed out some storyline treatments and stitched a couple random scenes together into a crude demo reel
- Tracking which scripts I need to load is a pain in the ass and adding this to the asset loader is not fun
- The scene manager doesn't know about the interpreter yet so it doesn't actually run any scripts when you play the game
- Markup tags don't do anything yet
- I had a shitton of work stuff to do, and also wasted about a day on an unrelated side project, so progress was a little slow this week

Same here but with the artist. I went to a side project because I don't like doing nothing.

And I remember your game. I was waiting for it to happen.

>>169588962

For anyone interested in my texture bleeding problem from yesterday - I've fixed it. Also here's a little look at the level gen going off and the fix'd result.

The issue was so Idiotic I'm almost proud I thought of it. When importing images Unity has a "Max Size" setting for textures. I've Imported a 192x192 png, set the Max Size to 256 to avoid downsampling and never gave it a second thought.

Turns out, today, when increasing the sprite sheet png to 256 just for the hell of it, matching the Unity "max" setting precisely - It now works. Fucking magic. I can't tell if Unity is retarded or I am?

remainder that if you won't believe in yourself nothing good will happen.

you have to believe, you - can - do - it

I've already discussed this at length here. I'm going to attempt to make custom-shaped item frames, but it's not even close to a priority right now, as rectangular item frames work fine in the interim, as they have in every other game using attache case inventory. The system for custom-shaped frames would likely involve a CSV string to show open/occupied spaces, which is a bit more difficult to implement with rotation and all, so in the meantime I'd like to make progress in other areas.

>>169588621
>any resident evil after 3

>>169590898
RE4 is great by its own. RE5 is great in coop.
Resident Evil Survivor is just great

>>169590665
>CSV string to show open/occupied spaces, which is a bit more difficult to implement with rotation and all
just have the game engine procedurally generate the CSV string from the item sprite, taking any given rotation factor into account, so that it is always correct.

Been lurking for some time here and thought I'd post some progress on the first game i've attempted to make. I have no art skill.

I'm hoping to add an "enemy" on the right side of the screen for player to attack or defend against when in sword or shield mode, also I want to make the health and power bar more active as well as taking health away if player abuses holding down keys when a note has not entered.

been a while since I last posted, completely overhauled my art style in the meantime and today I added this new enemy type. They swarm to you and attach themselves, which slows you down and drains your health until you dash to shake em off. The plan is to implement them in a boss fight.

>>169591805
are you the dungeon break guy?

>>169579097
Yeah I have been playing through merc kings now for the last week.
Wasn't too fond of its style, 90% of guns useless, I'm thinking of making it more like Magicka - different combinations will make specific types of guns or not work at all.
Player discovers it themselves and uses the right weapon for the right moment.

>>169588714
>+ Wrote a parser for a lightweight markup language I can hook into at runtime
What are you using this for?

>>169573854
FTL battle system is too shallow for that, but co-op multiplayer would work great. More shit to micromanage, each player takes care of a part of the whole.

>>169593724
>>Pan dimensional hacking to avoid entropy;

that one is way out of whack with everything else

>>169592362
It seems better. Mercenary Kings had a bunch of shit just for show. It's a bit different, but try to take a look at Stick Ranger, it has a gunner class, and it has some pretty sweet variations, I even keep multiple different guns just to use in different situations.

>>169593724
You should change the "illegal car downloading" to something less obvious, like "theft of manufacturing files for a high-end automobile". That way the player gets that little "aha" moment instead of having the reference right in their face.

>>169594283
Yeah, still need to tweak them a bit. The assassination one is too long as well, need to figure out how to shorten it, but I want to keep it because it's pretty cool.

The tone of these don't feel very legal, instead of describing the crime try mentioning the illegal act, and then maybe include an injured party to keep the lore stuff, so instead of
>illegal car downloading
>espionage, ford motor company
and for
>Running a clone kidnapping ring;
>grand larceny, conspiracy, Monsanto genetics and cloning

>>169589547
It probably has to do with how it's trying to fit that smaller texture into 256 and fails at scaling it.

Textures are usually in powers of two.

>>169592768
Most of the game's content will be text. The markup language serves two purposes: Formatting the text, and splicing values into the middle of strings. These aren't really conceptually related but adding either one meant changing the way strings are parsed so I figured I'd do both at the same time. Anyway, this lets me insert the player's name and make it bold/italic/whatever.

Will you ever finish any of your games? I think lots of stuff you've done is pretty cool (like procedurally generated levels in metroidvania type games). I think you should set-up a blog or something and make tutorials, man. I think you could even like make patreon or something.

I get that, but if this is the list of Unity acceptable texture resolutions they need to rethink their fucking shit. There's no warning anywhere.

...Also I'm dumb because English isn't my primary language and I simply thought
Power of 2 = Dividable by 2, and, as previously stated - imported a 192x192 texture.

Wouldn't it make sense for you to release before greenlight is killed? Even as early access just so you don't lose that opportunity. I mean, your game is already greenlit, waiting untill after it's killed will result in more costs for you.

is not about the game, what made you cry is something inside of you.

people cry at movies.

I cried when I realized how he became old, since I was happening for a crisis back then.

they're like everything - 95% of them is shit (including passage here, it's a turd)
i haven't seen such art game that has pretty much no gameplay and is still good, but i'm sure there is something out there i'm missing

>>169597161
I don't think it does though, right? If you're greenlit, you're basically in since I have access to all the steam docs, NDA stuff, steam API, and the ability to push beta builds. Anyone else know?

The only thing that makes me cry is the thought that I'm gonna be part of (and associated with) this shitty industry.

>>169596909
It's a good thing the download page mentioned the game only lasts 5 minutes because otherwise I probably would have quit before then. The closest thing to "gameplay" is every once in a while you have to walk around an obstacle.

>At least for me, it made me cry.
For real?

Yeah real tearjerker we've got here.

>"Yes, you could spend your five minutes trying to accumulate as many points as possible, but in the end, death is still coming for you. Your score looks pretty meaningless hovering there above your little tombstone. […] Passage is a game in which you die only once, at the very end, and you are powerless to stave off this inevitable loss." [Jason Rohrer: "What I was trying to do with Passage"].

To the guy who told me you couldn't pixel art without knowing how to draw:

WHAT THE FUCK WAS I THINKING

Of course you need to know how to draw. Anatomy, line art, shading, etc. HOW ELSE ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO TURN STUFF INTO PIXEL ART OR 2D PIXELATED ART YOU DUMB SHIT (me).

what the FUCK are you on about?

>>169597679
I honestly have no clue, and if I were you I'd ask steam directly, it can serve as proof in case they change their minds later on too. It would suck to wake up one day and realizing you got a refund and a fuck you from them.

>>169597231
Wow, I've sat through power point presentations that are more fun and emotional than that.
The story is super linear, you know from the very beginning that she will die first, the music is extremely horrible and hurts my ears with that high pitched tone, the art doesn't help at all, with anything. getting the chests doesn't really do anything and it pretty much looks like it's pure chance and no skill.

1/10 This shouldn't be called a game.

>>169598513
Actually, they're HD 2D sprites.

so that circle trig formula script, what stops it from generating entities endlessly in that pattern?

>>169598254
if you draw like this though you might as well just use animated dolls.

>>169598670
I don't believe they can refund that unless it comes from their own pocket. They did donate all greenlight funds to charity IIRC.

Jam?

>>169598745
The guy posted a for loop some I'm guessing the fact that its a for loop is what prevents it from generating entities endlessly. You should really, really look up for loops if you're not familiar with the concept.

>>169598957
so a loop proceeds until it is completed, and this is literally a circle

>>169598786
http://steamcommunity.com/greenlight/discussions/18446744073709551615/133256758580075301/

Just checked that post and it seems you are okay, the ones getting refunds are those who don't have greenlit items:

> If you paid the Greenlight Submission Fee and don’t have any Greenlit titles, you can get a refund of your Greenlight Submission Fee.
>If you already have a Greenlit title, but haven't completed the digital paperwork to set it up in Steamworks yet, there's no need to worry. Once a title has been Greenlit, you have an invitation for that game to come to Steam. That invitation doesn't expire with any of these changes.

I GIVE UP.

To be honest, games like the Passage really makes me sad.

It's just sad that the emotional capabilities of the average gamer can be triggered by that. What could they possible feel when they meet some actual drama or real suffering? Don't get me wrong, it's a nice game about a touching subject, but, come on. This story has been told countless times, and if you need a pile of pixels to remind you of your mortality, then maybe you have problems with your life and you must also be quite illiterate.

Aside from that, Terry Cavanagh has other games with similar subject matters and they just hit harder and has some actual weight and thought. Oh, and they also function as fucking games.

I don't want to shit on the poor guy, but this game is just pretentious, like you've said.

>tfw modeled for 3 hours but scrapped everything because it sucked
I hate wasting time like this

Fucking Dark Souls tells better stories about ways of going through life with its NPC quests.

>>169599240
If the for loop is going on infinitely then you need to change the condition that ends it. If you say "for i = 12" and the loop is going infinitely then you obviously need to rectify the way the loop is written.

>>169599685
this should be in the op

>>169599454
You learned some things about how not to make a model. Not a waste of time.
