gamedev is ridiculous, dudes. It's like 4 different skills/mediums all mashed together, with their own small sub-categories included as well if you want to git gud.
fuck.

Yeah, for 1MA. That's why you do collab or learn everything by yourself. Also post your 3d

add an attribute to the object named can_fly or is_poisonous. set that to true if the object can do those things. and then do logic based on that

What's the general "flow" of rendering in SDL end up looking like on my side? If I want to make a map out of various tiles of sdl textures, should I just render them all individually and clear between "frames"? this seems wrong, and I feel like I should be compositing them all to one texture to render at once, but whenever I search for something like this I don't really find anything about it.

In UE4, there is a "Print String" blueprint, if you want to see some value on screen, you use this, but then it just keeps scrolling down and you get a mess of strings, specially if you want to check two or more values at once, it becomes a shitty mess.

Is there a blueprint node that does that, but it shows them in a more "debuggy" fashion?
Sometimes you just want to see some values while in game to see how things are behaving, but with print string is a mess.
I could make my own Debug widget, but that's still a bit rudimentary, there should be a way to do this sort of automatically.
Is there?

>>174229368
I'm pretty sure I'm perfectly valid as it is? I mean, it's working.

Don't know why you'd be angry. I can't make other people angry. At least, I don't think I have that power.

If I wanted attention, I'd probably leave my house.

>>174229851
>game dev
>looks tedious

wew lad, next you're going to say bricklaying looks tiring?

Now that the dust is settled, is Godot worth learning or not? What's their licensing model?

>>174229789
Depends on what you're looking for. There's no technical problems with LÖVE that prevent you from doing what any developer can do with other frameworks or engines. It's just that you have to more work yourself while others like GameMaker or Unity save more time.

The question is if you want to do things your way or if you want to save time and just use GameMaker or Unity.

>>174229932
>is Godot worth learning or not?
It's a straight upgrade over GameMaker.

>What's their licensing model?
You own your game 100% and you can put whatever software license you want in your game, you can even modify the engine and sell it too.

Hey aggydaggy, how would you go about simulating air or gas pressure in a 2d tilemap?

I know games like dwarf forress, terraria and starbound does something with liquids which might be similar, but are there any games that does it with gas or air for whatever reason?

>>174232130
Blender isn't shit. Your friends are just elitist pricks. If Maya would be 10/10 3d modelling software, Blender would be at least 9/10.

>>174232130
the fundamentals transfer between whatever program you're using.
blender is fine for hobbyists. 3dsMax is preferable for modeling, but a lot of people make blender work.

>>174232216
SS13 is based upon a mediocre atmospherics simulation. I remember one of the versions of the game (goonstation maybe) made a new atmospherics simulation that wasn't half bad a few years back, but I haven't got any idea how the algorithm works.

>>174232130
>People I know that model a lot said to em that blender is shit tier
Then why there's a shitload of fantastic stuff made in Blender? Your friends are cunts.

>>174232130
Blender has some wonky menus sometimes. But once you get used to that the actual software itself is good, and perfectly capable of making great models. Usually people who say Blender is shit are people that learned a different modeling software and are now unwilling to touch Blender because it's "inferior".

I just played 10 minutes of Shovelknight and I don't get it. What's the appeal of that game?

>>174232216
The simplest method that i can think of that disregards gravity would be "if tiles next to me have lower pressure, transfer some pressure at X rate".

>>174232804
Nostalgia. Did you play a lot of NES games in your youth?

>>174232953
I mean I did, but I'm not a fan of the fact Shovelknight controls/movement were intentionally made shit by today's standards just for the nostalgia factor.

I too have always loved how obviously stupid but still instantly appealing the idea 14 year old me had about wanting to make an MMO.

Not any game in particular, just *an MMO*.

>>174233073
>>174233152

There's no shame in not being a part of a game's target audience. As far as I can tell the game was received well, so apparently there was a market for it.

>>174232408
>>174232216
I've actually implemented this, and talked with SS13 devs about it.

Every tick, check every tile against every one of it's neighbors. Keep track somehow of which tiles have already checked their neighbor so you don't transfer to the original tile again when you get to the neighbor.

Find the average between the gas in one tile and the gas in its neighbor. Approach that value according to a magic number for how fast that gas can transfer.

For a better simulation, have the gas transfer faster the bigger the difference is (ie oxygen rushing out when you open a door to space). I just made a shitty chart for this, but a math wiz could probably figure out a proper curve for it.

Also: check in 8 directions, not just 4.

I remember they changed the rules to make you legally responsible to make good on physical rewards that don't hinge on the project succeeding.

As someone with over 8 years of his youth wasted completely on MMOs, I have a huge notebook filled with sketches and notes about what I consider to be my "ideal" MMO.

And it's really not that far out of the realm, budget wise it should be cheaper than Aion and most F2P MMOs nowadays. Yet I knew better than to try anything until after I have enough disposable income, and have made some small co-op games for practice beforehand, to get a better grasp on networking.

I'm still struggling with making even an entertaining singleplayer game though, so that dream is a good 10-20 years away, but I'll definitely turn millions of teens into wastes of space with an addictive MMO, just like what happened to me.

I guess a complicating matter would be having several gases with different densities, e.g. adding hydrogen which should make its way to the top. Or even worse, dealing with gases with different temperatures, where cold air flows to the bottom and hot air towards the top.

Your example makes a lot of sense though, so I'll give it a shot, if only to see if I can get that part to work.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Progress:
+ spent today refactoring some more engine code
+ spent today also learning about steamworks sdk from the documentation
- all improvements are in back end refactoring that is still not finished since last recap

>>174228610
Anon your art is beautiful

>>174236539
Correct excepts its a human not a bot

>>174236465
you might be right

but the libraries I use are .lib and .dll, sloc must be counting their library header files though

pascal, php? idk.

There is vb and asm though, I had to use a small asm from a tutorial for the graphics and the sound, like the sound buffer has to be allocated from assembly using int 21,48, but for some reason when I try to free it it just crashes so I just allocate it and never free it and it works so far

Move or Die was made with Love2D. It's not bad.

But that would be against the rules!

588KB, 907x590px

So I got the basic status system working.
Moving and jumping adds fatigue and as time goes on the mood will go down also.

Will add status effects once they go low enough.

Anybody had problems with starting a game exported on Android with Unity? Mine just hangs on the splashscreen.

Any news on when Steam Greenlight is being shut down?

I had a game idea and I think I can put together a short polished trailer by the end of next month. Worth bothering with?

>>174236712
You're only supposed to run it for code you wrote, libs don't count.
Are you the dos guy?

>>174237072
I used to run the recap, so I looked into the rules.

There's nothing wrong with manually saving the threads and then parsing them for recap posts.

I forget beyond that, but I'm sure a bot that only ever went to AGDG, and only refreshed like a 24/7 open browser would be completely undetectable (and not particularly abusive) anyhow, especially if you didn't automate the actual posting.

>>174237248
But they are implying the recap poster could be a robot. Robotposting is not allowed because robots are by definition automated. Not to mention they would have to lie to the captcha unless they are using the legacy captcha.

No I wasn't making the snowtown dos game I was someone else making a different one, the assembly is just for dos video and audio, they are called like normal functions from the c code

What's /agdv/ stance on flash games?

I want to make a simple game and I thought about flash, since it's supported in basically every site.

>>174237908
Sometimes it saddens me that my only finished games are LD ones.

>>174237979

Still, with flash I could host it on many sites such as Newgrounds, DA and etc.

What would you guys suggest in it's place?

>>174238050
cloc-1.72.exe from this page:

https://github.com/AlDanial/cloc/releases


put all your source code copy paste into c:\temp\gamesrc

then put that exe there

then open a dos box and go "cd c:\temp\gamesrc"
then "cloc-1.72.exe ." and it will print that table

then just click-drag the dosbox to rectangular select the text, right click to copy, paste, find-replace spaces with tabs, put > on the start of every line, and you're done

>>174232216
simple cellular automata

>>174238284
*spaces with underscores

>>174238265
.html + js, same way

>>174237729
A robot that reads posts and compiles them into an image isn't breaking rules. The robots that break rules are ones that spam advertisements and shit like that.

Recap guy only makes 2 posts, first post is just a post letting people know to submit their recap, and the second post is the finished recap. It's completely possible that both of those posts are actually made by a human, the bot just writes the text for the human to post.

>>174238367
I'm not an experience dev, with html+js could I make it run on those sites?

is it worth developing on an older version of love2d so more players' cards are usable?
love 0.10 requires openGL 2.1, love 0.9 requires openGL 1.1. I'd like to use certain love 0.10 features.
I know openGL 1.1 is really old.

>>174233983
> Every tick, check every tile against every one of it's neighbors.
> Also: check in 8 directions, not just 4.
Yeah, that sounds very efficient...

When Flash is dead, why did it want me to download a new update yesterday?

>>174238403
But if they were a robot it would be against the rules for them to post, even a single post. Thats why its fair to assume no one posting here identifies as a robot

>>174238687
Flash thinks flash is not dead.
Also updates are to fix security vulnerabilities that were found up to 5 years ago.

>>174238593
When you can see the gas, and it's moving only in 4 directions, it looks real dumb.

>>174238041
Why is that anon? If it is because you are better at setting good low scopes during ludum dare try doing that for your next game? If it's because of the deadline, start giving yourself deadlines. If it's because you work with friends, invite your friends to dev with you more often.

>>174232216
Brogue has gas simulation stuff in it. It's open source too. I can't check right now but I think it just checks all the neighbors and moves some of the gas to that neighbor if it's got less gas than the current tile.

But it's a roguelike, so the gas only calculates each turn, it might be intensive if you did this check every frame.

>>174238593
Bigger issue is that gas can only move at a speed of 1 tile per tick maximum.
So even a 12k psi vs perfect vacuum would be unrealistically slow.

>>174238782
I meant checking every tile every tick. A physics simulation should "know" when there are inactive regions, in this case areas of equilibrium, and put them to sleep until further notice.

- "Fuck this!", try to start from basics.
- Find out that there are literally zero descent tutorials/books for beginners that teach basics.
- Find Peter Han at last, pirate videos, watch it
- Draw lots of lines and circles
- Practice, practice, practice
- Find Norling's "Perspective made easy", yell "WTF THIS IS THE BEST DRAWING TEACHING BOOK EVER!!!"
- Draw lots of cubes ant tubes in perspective
- Practice, practice, practice
- Read Loomis, "Fuck this shit", drop Loomis.
- Read lot of other theory books that you can understand now.
- Practice, practice, practice
- Watch Robertson videos
- Practice, practice, practice
- Learn color theory from different places
- Draw lots, still don't get colors, wtd.
- Go to the oil painting lessons to lear color
- WTF this is the best medium ever, colors are so easy now!
- Learn anatomy hard way since couldn't find any dscent books/tutorials on this matter
- Practice, practice, practice

tldr: Lot of practice.
Now I'm on the road to Vilppu.

Create a circle of tiles from the diameter and then spread the gas based on some radial gradient if the tiles have less pressure than your origin tile.

Breaking the rules does not make something pop out of existence. Likewise, existing does not imply something is not breaking the rules. The rules are pretty clear in disallowing automated posting.

That's how matrices are. 4 x 4 x 8 byte for a double precision matrix.

Even a normal single precision matrix would still by 64 bytes and would therefore take at least 16 cycles to copy.

>>174241527
Doesn't have sprites for everything yet, obviously.

YuGiOh! VRAINS
New anime featuring characters that use leading-edge technology to create a virtual space where they host VR duels. The protagonist is Yuusaku Fujiki, and his ace monster is named "Decode Talker," who wields a giant sword. Yuusaku transforms from his school uniform when he enters the VR space for duels. He also has different colored hair after he transforms, and he rides a surf board while dueling.

>>174239275
>it's seems that the only way to handle slopes without them breaking is splitting collision into two parts, you first move on x axis and check collision and handle shit, then you check the y axis and handle shit.
or have two states, while on ground make the player snap to the ground no matter what the slope's angle, change state one he jumps or there is no ground underneath.
it is impossible to handle slopes otherwise, don't even waste your time like i did ;-;

I even made an ajax system that uses their web api to implement a high-score board that shows the usernames of the players

and also i found out how to award achievements

I didn't make a full game but I'm sure you could do it if you just made a newgrounds account, then go upload your creations, choose game swf/html5, then give it a name, and then in there there is links to the docs and probably a link to a forum or wiki with templates or something

Awww shit son! Now I don't have to grovel in the dirt begging for particle effects like a peasant anymore.
So far I always had to take unreal's standard effecs and some of the infinity blade mobile particle effects (which are cool and staying in) but now I can do all these fancy particle effect tutorials.

There must be a catch to all of this but we'll see.

Oh yeah I also finished detail pass on this area for now.

How do I stop it?

I break down my game until it's too boring for me to even be bothered to work on it, then I ideaguy it up to something I can never implement. Rinse and repeat.

>>174242761
Is this a good choice just as a basic video editor?

Any free one I find always have some ludicrous restrictions

>>174243297
I'm gonna assume that screenshake and such will come later, as the barrels feel really weak in my opinion. Also, the chain reaction should go faster, so things get chaotic and out of control, rather than an easily avoidable chain of explosions. Look at how games like Doom handle explodey barrels and chain reactions.

>>174243317
Yeah my 3D animating skills are still pretty rough. I do much better in 2D, and I'm working to translate that into 3D still.

>>174242940
No I wanna use it to improve cuts and fonts and make some fancy shit in general so the stuff between the gameplay scenes doesn't look like it's made in paint

Stuff like the fire particles in this trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc8fsve6u8M
Though those guys put quite a lot of post processing effects over the regular gameplay scenes as well

>>174243174
This revolver has a shitton of bullets.

I'm trying to get into 3D game dev. What if I wanted to make a simple 3D game with a lot of billboards, but high res billboards. Would that be taxing for any specific engines? I know Skullgirls had trouble with their fucking title screen because the image of the logo was so big.

>>174243453
I don't think it's really an editing software.
It's just to make scenes that are already rendered a little more fancy by slapping effects and tone mapping and all kinds of shit on it.

Like an additional layer of detail.

>>174243415
If your game gets boring when you break it down then it was never fun to begin with and no amount of flair and "things that are fun to program" will change that.

Find something that is fun to PLAY and make that the focus of your game.

>>174240493
>>174240612

I like it. What engine?

>>174243653
Should be fine as long as you have level of detail.

>>174243684
I meant boring to program, not boring to play. But I take your point, if I find it uninspiring to program it probably wouldn't have been fun to play either.

>>174243784
Java + LibGDX

>>174243653
That has nothing to do with the engine of choice and more to do with GPU fillrate.
Skullgirls ran fine on my laptop, were you running on some dinosaur toaster?

Anyways if you want simple 3D use unity, UE4 is a choice too but unity's more lightweight if you're not on a decent rig.

>>174243478
>I'm gonna assume that screenshake and such will come later

Oh shit thanks for saying this, i completely forgot to trigger the screenshake. All that is in the game already.

>>174243827
>>174243840

Thanks. And with Skullgirls, it was only with the PS3 version, which isn't a powerhouse by today's standards, but I wouldn't have thought it would be that much of a problem for the hardware.

I have question about clipping. Say I have a 1 million polygon 3D model and I put it behind the clipping plane. It will still be in the memory, but it won't be rendered, right? The program shouldn't lag if it's not visible?

It won't be that much

Anyone else using UE4?

I need to trace the mouse to the world, to show the selected unit where to go, should I do this in the player controller?
I think that in some UE4 samples, they do this in the player character?
And drawing the circle where the user is targetting?

I never noticed the menu issue, in general the game ran at full 60 during gameplay, since it's a fighting game and necessary.
Another thing to keep in mind is VRAM usage, skullgirls characters had over 1000 frames of animations and the sprites were pretty damn high res even on ps3. I still have no idea what techniques they used to fit all those frames in memory.

It has infinite capacity at the moment, so the only limit is your imagination

and patience

Game: House Cleaner
Dev: Shotgun Anaconda
Tools: Clickteam Fusion 2.5, Aseprite
Web: https://twitter.com/ShotgunAnaconda
Progress:
+ New office tiles
+ New shotgun enemy that chases you, different shooting patterns depending on slowmo or not
+ Tweaked slow-mo and movement AGAIN
+ Added loot drops, currently only money
+ Changed hud
- Started on a level generator, can do nodes and layout but cant really figure out how to make it build the world
-Really need to do menus...

>>174244495
Depends what you consider "much". Pretty sure it will be at least 500 bucks. I would never pay this amount for my game.

>>174244325
>It will still be in the memory
It should be in the GPU memory, yes, but not in the render buffer.
But don't forget that its geometry might be taken into account to calculate shadows and/or reflections. Depending on the engine.
In Unreal you can dictate the area of an object before it's culled, and I guess they take this into account when calculating shadows and reflections outside of the frustrum too

Sorry, I should have clarified. The issue was fixed before they released the game, but it was the only version where the full logo couldn't run at full speed because of the size of it. It was actually Zone who broke it up into smaller overlapping layers to get it to run at full speed.

>>174244495
>>174244602
Just you wait. I'm betting $500 minimum. Or they'll start out at like 100 and gradually raise it until only decent looking games get though.

>>174237997
Flash is fine, only neckbeards who think Linux is a viable platform think otherwise. It's still commonly used thanks to being the easiest and most convenient way of putting shit online.

If you don't think it's fine, just look at Patreon and how many backers and tens of thousands of dollars a month flash games are getting. I'm pretty sure a single one of those flash game Patreons is making more money than all of agdg's nodevs combined.

Progress:
+ Buffed Lore to be less punishing to play
+ Intro stage backgrounds being redrawn from scratch
- Intro stage backgrounds being redrawn from scratch (will modify where possible to lessen work thanks to anon's suggestion but this is still taking large amounts of time away from implementing stuff for DD14)

maybe new steam system will actually be better for devs

>>174244504
If that function is specific to that character, then I think doing in the player character makes more sense.

A controller can jump around actors of different classes which might have different functionality.

>>174244674
Interesting.
>It was actually Zone who broke it up into smaller overlapping layers to get it to run at full speed.
Maybe it has to do with the ps3's architecture, splitting that up into layers for parallel processing?

>>174244942
I hope it makes steam so exclusive that it stirs immense jealousy between devs who can get on Steam and devs who can't. The online butthurt and drama would be fun to read.

>>174244942
It's worse for the shitty game spammers since now you have to pay per game instead of developer but instead of a community vote there will be curators who play and decide on which games will reach the "real" store, hopefully it will be less about spamming your Greenlight page everywhere and having pretty trailers and more about your game's actual quality.

>>174244942
Or maybe people will just go to Kickstarter or GoFundMe to raise enough cash to get on Steam.

Don't worry, I'll pay the fee for AGDG games when I make it big

>>174245234
thank you man i appreciate it

>>174245234
Just gimme some cash instead.

>>174228902
That's pretty embarrassing. You're really quite desperate aren't you? Why do you keep trying to latch onto things like this - it won't make anyone actually care about you.

>>174244942
It probably will be better for talented devs with lots of monies. But for new people who are not able to produce absolute quality and don't have the monies (ie AGDG), it probably will be worse.

How does the split with Steam work for sites like itch.io and Humble Bundle? Developers can distribute keys for their games through these outlets, but they can simultaneously distribute them DRM free directly from the outlet's servers.

Does Steam get a cut from these sales? When I buy a game that offers both a Steam key and a DRM free download on Humble, is my money going to three different places (Humble, Steam, Dev), or are developers able to generate keys for their games without Steam getting a cut of these sales? Someone here said that Steam doesn't allow developers to generate keys since they could be sold on grey market sites, so I'm curious what the situation is with Humble and Itch.

>>174244942
Greenlight is already an obstacle. Based on player statistics, a majority of greenlit games fail to make the $100 fee back even before Steam's generous cut.
At this point, putting your game on Steam as an indie developer is an unpaid resume-building exercise. It's unsustainable as an actual job.
The voting process for greenlight absolutely isn't the issue with the system. Even a shitty game can get past that. Don't forget Steam gets as many as 50 new releases every single day.

>>174245974
>Based on player statistics, a majority of greenlit games fail to make the $100 fee back even before Steam's generous cut.

Majority of games on Greenlight are fucking halfassed shovelware.

>>174245974
Or maybe you should make a good game.

>>174246104
No, an overwhelming majority of games released in general across every platform ever is fucking halfassed shovelware, and don't think for a second your game is any different.

>>174246190
>and don't think for a second your game is any different
I'm not halfassing anything, nor I'm trying to greelinght anything, and especially not trying to greenlight something I wouldn't give a yes myself, you fucking NIGGER

>>174246190
No reason to project so hard my salty friend.

>>174245849
As I understand it Valve only gets a cut from sales directly through Steam. Developers are free to generate as many Steam keys as they want and to sell them however they want.

>>174245849
you can do what you want with steam keys, theyre not automatically generated (a valve outsourced fivrr employee has to ok your request) but its not difficult to get thousands of keys for your game.
steam dont get a cut and i dont think it really bothers them that much because the entire attitude of needing to give away steam keys wherever you buy it feeds into their domination of the market which is what allows them to charge devs 30% on everything and do next to nothing for them.

>>174246520
That's what I thought as well, but like I said, got conflicting information here which piqued my curiosity.

Most games in general are not half assed shovel ware, they just have boring designs, created by people who don't even play video games.

>>174246665
Artist here. What engine do you use?

>>174246838
go fuck yourself faggot

>>174246867
Never heard of that engine. Confirmed for nodev.

>>174246838
that bait literally doesnt work, since i didnt even mention working with any engines.

>>174246735
>Most games in general are not half assed shovel ware
the term shovelware refers specifically to the quantity being so much that it requires a shovel
if most games arent shovelware than shovelware isnt even a real thing.

>>174246996
>the term shovelware refers specifically to the quantity being so much that it requires a shovel
I rather think it refers to those shovel boxes you see in video game stores where just a bunch of different games are mixed together and you can buy them for cheap. Same exists for everything, games, DVDs, CDs, etc.

>if most games arent shovelware than shovelware isnt even a real thing.
Shovelware is just a term people use for games they don't like. Even if the game is objectively bad compare dto other games, most games still have a shitton of work put into them, that'
s why I wouldn't call them shovelware, just badly designed.

Pajeet's mobile Pixar character dress up #5890247580180547 is shovelware because he puts out 40 of them a year. Greenilght is just mostly boring run off the mill "this oughta be good enuf" baby's first attempts at getting rich and famous.
I see people's work here. Some of them do have that kind of attitude.
Some actually do put in some real effort to be better than the rest at something visible and have a good chance to make it somewhere.
