not exclusive to RS

Literally 1 real complaint of the 8 you mentioned.

>>175379350
That sounded like two valid complaints, agility and prayer.

>>175379657
not liking agility doesnt make it bad.
unless you name something specific like the wonky RNG attached to it.

So when is somebody gonna make a VR suicide simulator?

>>175379823
Itll have to be like Mirror Edge-tier suicides to be worth anything.

>>175379793
>not liking agility doesnt make it bad.
Not liking something is literally the only thing that makes it bad.

>>175378853
short answer: epic
long answer: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepic

>>175380104
bad is something objective, like the abuse, and reliance of prayer on both sides. Even though it turned in to the original git gud with JAD and prayer flicking.

You forgot safing though, which is probably the biggest flaw that trivialized a lot of bosses before jagex stopped being lazy for a brief second.

RS is a very flawed game, but its leages above WoW and the rest of the Theme Park Group.

>>175378874
once you realize the whole game is clicking on different parts of your screen your argument is invalid.

1. what's bad about it? it's just like any other skill. you click and click and get experience
2. the only one I can think of is the heavy ballista, and I don't agree with that
3. every mmo has this problem. jagex has a moderator dedicated to preventing/banning bots. over a million have been banned since release
4. the only dead minigame is trouble brewing
5. yeah flinching sucks, you're right. safe spotting is alright
6. a lot of the skills are pointless. when the game was made the developers didn't expect anyone to get to 99. nobody is forcing you to fire make
7. prayer allows for interesting pvp/pvm
8. I think you're basing this off of a small sample size

>>175380382
>bad is something objective
Bad is a subjective judgement of quality and always will be.

Not a valid defense in a discussion that began with a remark arguing that all MMO's are bad.

What if you "borrow" assets from AAA titles to make your little game.

I don't intend to charge any money for my game. So how much trouble can I expect? Will they still come after me?

I came to a realization that these threads are seriously 33% autistic perfectionists who genuinely can't help but call you out on most inane shit, but always mean well, 33% cunts who do the same thing as the first group but out of pure jealousy and 33% bored shitposters who may just call it shit or praise it depending on their current mood.
The last 1% is me.

>>175381842
the amount of trouble you will get will most likely be proportional to your game's quality and popularity

so don't expect any trouble at all

(seriously though if your game becomes well-known the worst you'll be likely to see is a DMCA takedown)

>>175382249
DMCA takedown to where? I intend to release it as free a torrent and just collect a little donation money.

Usually when people are nitpicking your game it means they can't find bigger issues to complain about, which is a good thing.

>>175382453
To wherever you're hosting it. If it's a torrent, then yeah, there's not much they can do (but if they really wanted I think they could go after you for accepting donations, probably not likely though)

idea guy here

a multiplayer game where you're a wizard and you use magic to kill other wizards

between battles you sit in your ivory tower and brew mixtures and write scrolls to improve your killing spells

there would also be spells that effect the environment, e.g. a spell that destroys a bridge, killing the wizards on it

you win when you are the only wizard left (death is permanent)

Is it possible to make a game where you fight monsters that you encounter throughout your journey that you can capture to join your team or would people just scream pokemon clone?

I've been working on this off and on for a couple of months its essentially an open world tile based RPG with real time combat. there are monsters you encounter by entering certain regions in the screen for example if you're in region x20,y,50 - x60,y100 monsters will spawn at a rate of 5-10 steps and there's a dice system to decide which monster spawns.


The combat works by assigning abilities that you learn over time to the QWER keys. every move has a cool down anywhere from 0-60 seconds depending on the ability of the move. for example this beam type move that does a flat 600 damage would take 30 seconds to cooldown where as your basic attack which does your strength level * 3 would take 3 seconds to cooldown, the whole abilities system has yet to be worked out.

anyways heres some progress videos let me know what you guys think

>>175391245
You do know Pokemon didn't invent the monster breeder genre, right? They were over a decade late. And there have been plenty of monster games since then, with varying levels of success.

>>175391245
Make it Pokemon but for adults.

As in brutal dogfights where the monsters shred each other to pieces and can get mortaly wounded.

As long you avoid the typical tropes related with Pokemon (colorful worlds, music, monster design etc) you can easily get away with it.

Also what >>175391426 says, monster breeders are much older than Pokemon, Game Freak and the Pokemon Company only managed to market it better.

>>175391780
>As in brutal dogfights where the monsters shred each other to pieces and can get mortaly wounded.
Or just like the Pokemon OVA's.
Not even adults want to watch actual dog fights.

>>175391245
Man you saying real time and QWER made me hope it was like a single player MOBA with poke mechanics. Good design though, especially the video titles.

>>175390321
Soon anon. Though it won't have instants (and a very simplified stack), I have 2 mechanics planned to work around that.

>>175388181

>>175391780
>As in brutal dogfights where the monsters shred each other to pieces and can get mortaly wounded.
Shock value gore only appeals to edgy teenagers. People would much rather play an appealing stylized game.

hey aggydaggy I need your help
I'm making modular spaceships, but it looks like shit (pic related)

So anyways, the parts are all cubes, some modules will be 3x3 or whatever, depending on what they do.
Whatever, it doesn't matter.
So I'm using simple cubes that are just the edges of cubes to indicate where you can put build. Basically they are the default cube.
But I want to make the game with an orthographic perspective, but then these edges just look like shit.

Reminder that you WILL be sued for anything from IP infringement to infringement of patented game mechanics. Once you get big enough, you WILL have such attention.

So-called "gag orders" (TROs) and settling out of court are why you don't hear of specific cases more often (also nobody cares about the nth indie dev's legal dramas) but once you have something worth taking, you will be targeted.

You can't use a controller if that's what you're asking. Lead dev made that decision so it wouldn't be unfair to people using touch as they'd get stomped.

Read the fucking manual.
From the 5.0 upgrading manual:

Unity no longer uses “Helper References” to access common components.
In Unity 5 and later we can no longer access components using their“shorthand helper references” and we must access them directly
using “GetComponent”.
One example of this is accessing the Rigidbody component attached to the same GameObject as the script. In Unity 4 and earlier, this was simply accessed with “rigidbody.”
Now this must be done with “GetComponent<Rigidbody>().”
It is usually a “best practice” to find this Component when the instance of the script initializes, and “cache” the reference in a local
variable.
This is commonly written as:
private Rigidbody;
void Start ()
{
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}

Now, with the reference to the local Rigidbody component saved in the variable “rb”, we can use this reference anywhere within the script.
One example would be to add force to the rigidbody with:

rb.AddForce (someVector3Value);

You have to write it something like this:

private Rigidbody rb;

void Start ()
{
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}

void FixedUpdate ()
{
float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical");

Vector3 movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);
rb.velocity = movement * speed;

Anyhow yes you really should have an llc lol. We keep tabs on new devs who appear to be making it, collect data on previous cases and previous devs, to decide exactly when to spring a suit on them. Really the goal is having them settle out of court but we can easily win in court as well.

I don't know how to write this with addForce. But you also have to assign the speed for my code.

public float speed;

And then set the speed to what you want. Then you should be able to move the object with the arrow keys or analogue stick

I'm assuming most of time refund is into steamwallet so money is never lost.

>>175400939
New one definitely looks better.
Also that drifting style problem is a common problem. As you make more models you get better. So eventually the oldest models you made will end up not looking so good.
It's a good idea to keep a palette of colors that are used throughout all the textures, to help keep the colors consistent. And when you make a new model open a few of your old ones to use as reference.

>>175401537

Now that I think about it there are some nice possibilities for gameplay

Game set in a public park, ENF mode is playing as a naked woman trying to find some makeshift clothes and get home without being seen, photographed or caught by police, exhibitionist mode is playing as a pervert woman trying to be seen and jerk off in public but not photographed or caught by police.
Time of day is difficulty mode,
Easy is night time, there's only patrolling police and horny couples that don't pay much attention to you
Normal is early morning, there are joggers going in a pattern and elderly that can't see well.
Hard is daytime, young moms with their children running around
Expert is evening when everyone is here

Explore park to find unlocks, ENF unlocks stupid outfits(leaves, bandaids, bandages, cardboard box, plastic bag), pervert unlocks new toys to pleasure herself with.

Game over screens could be cool, getting photographed will show you a screenshot of you being spotted on a social network/imageboard/porn site with nasty comments, getting caught gives you a newspaper article or news report, all added to a gallery for future appreciation.

>>175405496
Technically, it isn't covering up the whole screen, but rather, it's deactivating everything on screen. The background there is actually the background that's normally obscured from vision by the boxing ring. Same shit, though.

I can put in a transition and probably make everything visible while paused, but part of me isn't sure I'd like for the pause menu to keep the player and enemy visible onscreen. I don't want the player to be able to use pausing the game to buffer frame-perfect inputs or use it to cheat on visual cues.

>>175405463
Well theres already software which lets you paint directly onto the model itself. Seems really handy for detailed work.

I think even blender has that feature

Not knocking you in anyway, I think your portraits look fantastic

They don't get to take your house because you worked on the infringing materials there. They get to take it because you own it and you owe them a billion dollars. If you don't own the place where you're living, they can't take it.

I don't have an answer to your question but I admire your project and wish we were best friends who could talk about statistics/systems/programming/pokemon while eating pizza, or some other food.

Needs polish but the teleport stab works now. it can place you on the other side of wire fences and if you collide with a floor, wall or ceiling the sword will stick in place and you can use that to double jump. Unfortunately the shadow particles still look really bad and I'm at a creative block on how to fix them. I need tendrils or something.

its literally just one guy stirring up shit as always.
No one gets sued
no one cares
stop feeding it

>>175410371
I seriously hope the clown guy is a placeholder.

> their game is so bad they're not getting sued

>tfw got sued for being too original

>so desperate for feedback, ask the prosecutor what they thought of it, offer keys

This has nothing to do with the story I planned. I just thought it was a cool shot

>>175409156
Ha, that's really nice of you. Thanks friend

>>175411680
I feel like there's a lot in this game that you don't convey properly in your progress posts.
WHAT ARE YOU HIDING

>>175411680
They're all moving in unison.
