/agdg/ - Amateur Game Development General

What's the first game you built?

First for Java.

Third for engine dev in Idris

so who entered the Linux Game Jam?

>>171729138
Completed? None.
My first attempt was a village builder. Made one bitchin' map-editor for it, because GM sucks ass. It all fell apart when I needed to make gameplay.

One feature of your game is coded exactly how you want it to be by the next time you open your project.
Which feature is it?

>>171729946
the feature where u stop shitposting and postgaem

>>171729305
>distributing non-free software to free-as-in-freedom platforms

>>171729946

Probably the online highscore stuff.
Everything else I have a solid idea how to approach even, if it might be difficult. In terms of uploading / hosting / displaying information, or literally any sort of non-client side functionality, haven't got a fucking clue.

If it is set to B32, I no longer fall 1 pixel into the ground. But I still hit 1 pixel into the wall. Probably because left and right is unchanged? So the sprites don't clip on the y value.

Where do people respawn in "realistic" mmorpgs? When they die what happens? My game needs to be coherent the whole way through and im wondering if other games got lazy

>>171733229
It depends on the MMO. Instanced stuff like the first GuildWars puts you back at the start of the zone, while WoW, an open world one, has multiple graveyards in every zone, and you have to walk back to your corpse as a ghost and pick up your body. I can not give you any other examples because I haven't played any other MMO.

i like the reviving at a church in town cliche.

this has a ton of problems though.
>if content is too hard, people will have huge runs back to the area
>if death isn't incredibly punishing in its own right through currency loss, xp loss or something else, it will be abused as fast travel
>doesn't promote people playing the game 24/7. when you die and get sent back to town, you probably will get up irl and do something else instead of continuing the grind

there are solutions to all these though depending on how your game goes. are you making an mmorpg?

>>171733229
a realistic mmorpg would have permadeath but it does not work very well when you put a player on a hamster wheel for gear and xp

>>171733390 is the most sensible way of doing it

Position your floor on y=100 and your character with the 32x32 sprite above that so they would fall and collide with the floor. Somewhere on your screen, draw the character's y position constantly. T&B set to 0&31.
When the character stops falling and it looks like they clip into floor, what is the character's y-value?

>>171733783
well I have a coherent idea for it but im wondering if players would like it because then it would need to be a primary element of the plot and i wonder what kind of immersion it would give the player. everything would be 100% coherent though. but thats the thing im just wondering if players would like the idea in the long run.

It depends on the quality of the rest of your game
Being an android as it currently stands sounds like 'you're a human but you can ~showracemenu during the game', which isn't enough to make any judgement on. I don't think it'll especially affect the appeal either way unless you give more details on what it'd actually mean to play an android.

I'm taking runescape and modifying the ideas of that. I started working on it a couple years ago after fiddling about with rs private servers. I realized that I wouldn't want to dedicate much time to my own private server because of the legal ramifications, so I tried to see how far I could get on my own. I've worked on it about 1 day out of every month when I get the fancy, so I've got nothing to show for it, except some engine work! It should cost me a couple tens of bucks a month for an Amazon AWS server when I release it on September 2021.

bad platformer game in Alice when I was 14

I have a 4 slot inventory that you can find extra slots for up to a max of 8. Currently the ways to navigate through it are either just clicking with the mouse or using the scroll wheel to cycle through. Since the mouse will be aiming at enemies most of the time, I'm unsure if just the scroll wheel is an adequate solution.

I'm considering trying something halflife style with 1-4 keys and double tapping a key to go down a row

what do you think. how large of a menu are you willing to use a scroll wheel for?

HTTPS brah, you can probably get away with a free tier heroku or something like that for an indie game.
A high score table is little more than a database hello world.
The biggest problem is to filter out fake results and/or to limit requests.
The former probably requires validating replays, the latter can really be done well only if you can identify purchases.

I like the idea of bad guys being "chatty" like in Fallout and River City Ransom so I'm trying that out.

Also listen to my tunez progress (i am not very good at this normally but I can't stop listening to this bit?) https://clyp.it/0ikkunet

Also I'm going to sleep it's 3 am I have to be at work in 5 hours .-.

Can I just instantiate all of my prefabs at runtime in scripts in Unity? The way all of the tutorials do it feel like I'm putting together legos instead of learning to code.

I am on the fence of just making my own 2d engine but I feel like I wouldn't get to "making the actual game" for far too long.

Now that there's a new separate camera that isn't parented to the vehicle, you can see the vehicle spasming around
I've been playing with speed, smoothing, rotation, etc values for everything and nothing seems to have an effect

>>171740907
the vehicle is spasming because the hitbox it lies on is spasming, you probably have to work around it but I'm not quite sure about how you'd do that

>>171740816
i was under the impression monogame support/development went to shit along with XNA, is this not the case?

Are you using Unity? I made a long rant about that a long time ago.

It works that way because Unity can't into ghost vertices for collision. The official UnityTM answer is just a sugarcoated "deal with it".

>>171741003

>>171740991
I should have mentioned that the vehicle is controlled entirely through the hitbox already anyway

>>171741065
>Unity can't into ghost vertices for collision
I removed the rigidbody, raising it well above the track, and controlled it entirely through just changing the transform.position, and it's still happening. I'll pastebin the code after putting some comments in

>>171740224
Do I hear Sinistar?

Then it's probably your camera tracking? Are you lerping correctly its movement?

>>171740907

There's a difference between Update calls.

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ExecutionOrder.html

>Fixed Update
Happens before physics calls (ex. rigidbody)

>Update
Happens after physics and input, but before animation

>LateUpdate
Happens after animations

It's entirely possible that the jitter from your camera is related to updating its values in the wrong update call.

Can someone suggest me a good damage formula system?

Right now an attack has DAM and PEN while characters have DT. If PEN does not equal or exceed DT, damage done is capped to DT.

>>171741316
>>171741427
I'm 90% sure it's the vehicle since the jitter happens when the cam position is fixed.
Anyway, I accidentally fucked something up so I undid all my script and unity changes for this session and magically fixed the camera issue despite it happening before this session, and the new issue is still here. This is giving me a headache so I'm stopping until tomorrow.

Suggest starting to put together an actual game (i.e. objectives and such) so that you have an actual direction in place and can see a beginning that could lead to an end. Then you can add in whatever craziness tickles you as you continue to put together actual game content. If you just keep adding random things without any content you're going to have trouble tying them together. Your game has the potential to be a Mario Galaxy where every new "level" is an "oh damn" moment.

I still need some help here. See those two points for the blue arms? I need to figure out the equation that will translate those points based on the amount of rotation/stretching transformation on the main sprite.

So basically an equation where I can plug in the x and y offsets from the main sprite's origin, the angle of rotation, and the percent of horizontal scaling (from 0 to 1), and have it spit out the adjusted x and y coordinates.

>>171729138
I never completed a game before in my life (this one is the one though!) but my first game was making a text based adventure in QBASIC on Win98 SE. It was probably 20min long and included text 'combat' which essentially let you pick an action and then rolled a dice to see if you succeeded. Since there were no stats you could pick or upgrade from the start it was a pure RNG cluster but I was having fun so I have no regrets.

>>171745457
you say horizontal scaling but it looks like you're skewing the image
if it's just scaling then it's fairly simple

save the x and y of the offsets
from there if you scale it horizontally then it's x offset * scaling amount
then deal with rotation, get the new angle offset from the new point which is player origin + (offset * scaling) and the y and it's basic trig, assuming this is all in world space you'd need to add the players rotation to the new offset rotations

I can explain it simpler but hopefully you understand that

Yeah, I just made it in paint.net, it's not what I'm actually using. The only transformations I'm performing on the main sprite is rotation and horizontal scaling.

That actually makes the problem a lot easier to understand, though! I appreciate it.

True 1MA rarely happens, especially in regards to music/sounds.

>>171744952

Going by the genre standard pricing even shit games sell at the low end I listed and sell well enough to keep a 1MA afloat for a year+ so that is what I am basing it on. JLMG right?

There's a reason most 1MA games took 5 years, and don't particularly look very good

In America all prices are one penny lower. So something that's $10 is $9.99
This is because small brained Americans will see the "$9" and think that's a better deal than "$10", even though they're practically the exact same price.

I'll just drop my now 4 month old demo here https://mega.nz/#!1o5ywLTA!c-AoAFziP3DikQzdVgvyqiK7_faWKLo6J-tdvGEOVJ4

This was a interesting week though, old programmer quit due to personal issues. He will make documentation and promised to help any programmer get into it. Great.
Day later a friend of mine was like "How's the game going? I'd love to help if I can see some documentation" Perfect timing.
So after this weekend probably have a new programmer. (and sure as shit I'll avoid programming as much as possible, already do that 9 to 5).

A good tip for everybody here, that I found out the hard way, only work with people you know where they live a physically can go. If people quit half way and you depend at least somewhat on them you can pull legal action or crowbar meets legs action.

Proggy I worked with 4 years ago on Hexa and Brothers' War/Tian Xia (if anyone remembers that shit) just straight up went up in smoke.

Hey guys, I need some help with math. I want to make a automatic targeting system like Armored Core has. There is a square in front of the mech, that is rendered on the screen, anything within that square can be targeted. I don't know how to calculate what is within the square and what isn't.

I assume when choosing the enemy to actually shoot at it would be whichever enemy is closest to the middle of the square.

In Europe, healthcare, higher education, and so forth is subsidized by taxes. So something that in fact costs tax money to produce/serve is "free."

This is because small brained Europeans will see the "free" and think that's a better deal than +20% tax rate, even though they're practically the same exact price.

Latest version:
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/150692454/#player

Updated:
>Fixed gravity and jump height resulting in yellowman landing on different Y-axis coordinates
>Added a doublejump
>Added a dmc inspired enemy hop including beautifully handdrawn particle effect
>Added intro sequence with skip button
>Added title screen animations for yellowman and title letters, and stretched the background down to hide the white bar
>Added a background under the "how to" button. Yellowman peeks out from behind it.
>Added a pushback effect when running into enemy. Doesn't work when initiated from up close.
>Added a WIP version of hitstun/hit detection to the punch attack. Also works with the Metroid beamu. A red box is still being displayed because scratch resizes the sprite to 1 pixel if it doesn't contain pixels. I'm fucked, ayy caramba.
>What whistle sounds are picked during the idle animation are now "randomized"
>Increased ground and movement speed. Still can't seem to get rid of the delay before moving after pressing left/right
>General removal of some useless arguments and statements

Try force smoothing the vehicle's transform.postion. Heres what I use for my camera:

void FixedUpdate()
{
float posX = Mathf.SmoothDamp (transform.position.x, ollowedGameObject.transform.position.x, ref velocity.x, smoothTimeX);
float posY = Mathf.SmoothDamp (transform.position.y, followedGameObject.transform.position.y, ref velocity.y, smoothTimeY);
transform.position = new Vector3(posX, posY, transform.position.z);
}

Set SmoothTimeX & Y as public floats. You probably need a Z as well. Toy with the values. Tell me if this sparks any ideas. Also, I don't know If you saw in last thread, but how many tris does your vehicle have?

>>171750661

And in private, you don't have to seperate the wheat from the chaff.

Advantage: Private.

People tend to take it personally when you ignore them. Or, in this case, when you correct them. I feel like there's a long list of unpleasant things you'd rather do than admit I may have a point, and that's an issue with public & anonymous.

>>171753759
I think you are a bit too easily swayed by people, I feel no pressure at all to take any suggestion seriously or even reply to them but crowdsourcing ideas is nice if you are stuck on something and it doesn't hurt anyone.
I'm willing to bet that you act like a cunt to everyone which makes them hate you if your posting style is any indicator.

There's also the fact that your game will never be known if you never show your face, having a social media presence is important if you don't have a marketing budget.

>>171754178
>I'm willing to bet that you act like a cunt to everyone which makes them hate you if your posting style is any indicator.

You are very naive if you think your game will be known simply by its own merits, to make people interested in your game they first need to know it exists.

Networking comes later. It has no place in discussions of development. And you don't have to define it for me. My opinions on these things are built around more experience than you're willing to give me credit. If I had to meter my experience, I'd say it was 'A Lot.'

Networking is a diseased charade. The more power it has, the weaker meritocracy gets. I want you to be upset at the sound of that. This issue is Clubber Lang, so get mad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-ThyXkarFY

Otherwise, get ready for more of the same nepotism and identity politics. You may not think it, but video games are in far better shape for this stuff right now than film or comics are. I speak from experience.
>I'm not telling you to keep some happy bubbly twitter account where you reply to every single shit comment you receive
I am glad you say this.
>it's a good idea to at least share cool and funny moments during your game's development to build interest.
And this. But you mentioned twitter in the bit from before, implying that you should share your cool funny moments, and a twitter would be the way to do it.

Okay, I have to stop you though. I am a big fan of speaking plainly, and that's why I seem a little cunty. I want to make this next bit very clear:

The Sooner Twitter Dies, The Better.

Anything bad you can do to twitter, is a good thing. The fewer days twitter has alive, the happier everyone should be. Whatever fills the gulf twitter leaves behind, will inevitably be an improvement. The smiles that Gawker's death made would be a like a rehearsal. Twitter must never be used to prop up a positive example of anything. Twitter is anti-communication and anti-education.

>>171755670
I don't care about Twitter in particular and didn't mean to imply that you should use a Twitter to share stuff, you can use Reddit, Tumblr, your own blog or whatever you want.

Also it's pretty ironic how you talk about identity politics and then go on in an irrelevant rant about politics, I'm pretty certain that whatever bad experience you had with social networks was because of your own cuntiness and opinionated personality. This might score you some drama points in the marketing department, gogem is a master at this.

You aren't sounding smart or enlightened here, just cunty and anti-social. I'm vehemently against social networking replacing human interaction and "big-corp" behavior in general but I don't let that get in the way of making my game.

Finish the entire game using ripped sprites then replace them over time with original ones until you have a game you can sell

I've had people complain at me for using free music that they recognise.

Tbh Famalam I've had this discussion more times than i could count -

Me: How much is it?
Buddy: Its like 5 bucks.
Me: That doesn't seem to bad. Why not. Get it, if you like it.
Come to cash register - It's $5.99.

People abbreviate, and the brain actually tells you "its not that epxensive bro, its just 5$". Theres actual science behind this bullshit.

I knew a "one guy band" who made his first album for free. It turned out as a "great as fuck", he got famous, worked with other bands and yada yada... made all the connections that he needed. Then he realised he still wasn't making money out of it, made another great album but for a small price. Noone is buying it.
It's a mad industry.

>>171752341
I'll keep my eye on your project. It looks FANTASTIC!

>>171756173
Sir I am a big fan of speaking plainly.

The psycho analysis gets no more complex than that.

Tumblr is doing a little better now. It's good that it added private messaging. Before that, you couldn't respond to anonymous questions in private. And asking questions yourself, non-anonymously, you had to worry about them publicizing it. These were much bigger issues than they seem to be now. It's hard to explain the claustrophobic feeling of just wanting to whisper to someone and get a whisper right back without this sort of quasi-doxxing everyone was capable of.

Private messages removed a great deal of that, because society instantly recognizes that screencapping private messages and posting them is a cunty thing to do, and you'd have to do of your OWN efforts.

But tumblr still has these thousands of little issues bleeding it dry. The main, biggest one, goes like this: Everyone you follow seems to be getting the last word in, all the time. To suspect anything to the contrary, you'd actually have to put in more effort than the comfort of friendly insulation brings about. Like twitter, tumblr is anti-communication. Just.. nowhere near as bad. Twitter is supreme king of the anti-communication machiavellians.

>>171756727
you have more than one thing?

>>171752341
>>171756875

I would also like to follow this. Anywhere where we can see progress being posted?

>>171756287
You won't use it. Because you're not going to finish your game.

>>171756336
Fun Fact : This started out with me experimenting with isometric action shooters with ripped sprites to do exactly that. But then I decided to just rip off old games instead.

>>171756629
Nigger, it's a psychological thing thousands of marketing experts and psycholoogists can confirm. People see a price with .99 and a shitload of them will see a lower number at the front and will associate it with a cheaper price, it was proven countless of times and it works. Same with putting specific products at specific aisle height, putting the bakery department at the front of the store, supermarket music, they're even triasling spreading specific fragrances to see how they affect spending habits.

Not sure if anybody is interested, but I'll put this here.

It's pretty basic, and full of bugs (full EA mode), but who cares...

Controls are W, A, S, and D.

>>171756637
Sort of. The last one was built on the assumption that sequential animations are going to be instant, but I tried an adhoc solution just to see how it felt, which turned out to be great. However the adhoc solution ignored many assumptions the engine made, causing hard to detect bugs. So I started rewriting the game. Got around 7k of 24k loc done atm.

>>171756875
>>171756951
This is the part I have trouble with. There's a few people who want to be kept updated on where it's going, but unless they're willing to ask me on skype or discord "How is the project going" there's no way to make it work.

I guess there could be like a mailing list or... something? If you give me throwaway emails which would then lead to real emails or skype/discord accounts, I could keep you posted that way.

>>171757301
just make an anonymous blog

>>171756629
My theory is that people are lazy and rounding requires you to read and process double the amount of digits truncating does

Anyone here familiar with 'Learning C# with Unity 3D' by Alex Okita?

Is it any good?

>>171756937
And nothing about this rant is relevant to your non-existing game's potential success, you are going off on stupid tangents either because you have a very scattered mind or you are trying to squeeze in the last word to make your "let's develop in secret" idea seem less idiotic.

This is making me doubt your claims that you have "a lot" of experience, once you dive in game development and actually try to market it all these silly worries and opinions will seem be insignificant in the bigger picture, you seem like a kid who just discovered how shit social networks are.

>>171757301
Twitter/tumblr

>>171757301
>mailing list
just fast forward a dozen years and use social networks

I could really use some help with visual design guys:

If you were to make a logic circuit/processor/gate, but looking ancient(like aztec, for example), how would you make it look like? Assuming it could be electric, or optical or anything else.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HOW DARE YOU LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE YOU ARE POISONING YOUR VISION WITH SOCIAL NETWORKS CAMELS ARE HORSES

>>171758001
Then every single player would get the exact same order of "random" events. Like everyone would get the stun animations in the same order.

>>171758531
no, i blamed you for being a biiiiiiiiitch

>>171758610
Just set the seed once when the game starts. It probably seeds from the current time, so unless two players start the game at the exact same second, they won't see the same sequence animations.

>>171758539
>CAMELS ARE HORSES

Hi fellow amateur/indie gaming enthousiasts!

How about we share some of our best game ideas, am I right guys?

I'm totally not an intern working for an AAA studio which has commited creative seppuku by replacing all the older workforce with young employees straight out of college who have no experience or ability to negiotiate for their salary or worker's right HA-HA-HA!


So start telling me your best game idea.

Now.

Just quit my job to go full time Indie Dev. How fucked am I?

A game about being an indie game dev and making a game in which you can do anything.

>>171760278
Essentially it's Skyrim meets Family Guy, but online. I'm currently in the planning phase, it's going to be a big game so it might take three years or so to finish.

Depends. Do you already have experience with working on a game?

If not start begging your old boss to take you back you imbecille and start doing it parttime next to your job.

>>171760317
Do you have any qualifications in gamedev?
Do you have a source of income?
How long will your savings last?

>>171760317
I have a work-from-home job and i slack off at it to learn gamedev, so to outright quit you'd have to be amazing at gamedev, have a complete idea and be able to push something that will give you money before your savings run out.

So you tell me.

Come into the Discord. People are pretty chill. I really like your project and RPGs in general. I usually hang out in the voicechat. The text only posters actually have a different culture within the Discord, so be aware of some of the shitposter stuff that live in the Discord text chats.

I can completely understand not liking Discord or leaving 4chan account-less anonymous posting system. Unfortunately you'll eventually need to sign up for some kind of communication tool in order to form attachments to peers and have decent conversations.

Non-Discord option is making a Tumblr and/or Twitter and posting your progress or thoughts there.

Whatever you decide, I wish you luck on your project.
