Hey guys. I'm making a gravity puzzle game, and I just finished a level editor. Would anybody be interested in trying to make some levels for say a couple dollars per level?

>>175465510

I think this is more like how they do the camera in Paper Mario now. The old one had Mario just be the center of the universe, but now I have a set of box dimensions I can change the size of that will tell the camera to move if Mario leaves it.
Does the new camera look better?

not happy with the ambient transition right now and the music itself could use some work but this was more about learning how to make a good dynamic music system inside FMOD.

Can we agree on like 2.50 USD per level? They're small and take a few minutes to make, I'm just no good. I can send it through paypal.

The goal of the game is to get the asteroid into the black hole. Try the levels I already poorly made for examples. To make a level go to edit and click the question for instructions. It will generate a text code.

Started working on the actual AI to be used for the Wooden Mannequin enemy. Shown here also is how the AI can be adjusted in the middle of the game for experimenting. I plan to add more attack animations for this enemy later.

I also still need to give them defensive moves (i.e. dashing away from the player's attacks).

I hope these graphics are placeholder.

Also I think you should flesh out the game and be 100% done with the mechanics before throwing out money for level designers.

>>175467840
>>175468129
lad, spend more time polishing up the game and editor first.

Also being able to shoot any time, without limits trivializes it completely. You have a really neat concept though.

>>175468363
They're all placeholder obviously.

I believe all the mechanics are in final. I cannot think of more to add.

post games without ui. i can't make it.

>>175468391
What limit would you put on the shooting? 3 per level is what I was going to impose, but it isn't implemented for testing purposes.

i'd pay a lot for someone like this, sadly i haven't found it (even amongst "pros"). all i get are dudes who ask for links to the kind of song you want, shit out something generic and kind of like it with their own style. sometimes i just throw in the towel and take what i can get.

3MB, 709x480px

Retopo'd Dixie's hair to make it smoother and have a more consistent silhouette (rather than being a mess of spikes). Also eliminated a lot of unnecessary tris. Reshaped her head and neck somewhat. Gave her shirt actual buttons. Also redid her face and hair materials to use an average of the vertex normal and world normals, which smooths out the way light hits them. This keeps her hair more evenly lit on top and her face evenly lit in sunlight (no five oclock shadow on her chin due to the overhead sun, she's only ever shaded behind the cheek like most cartoon characters).

This will be the last retuning of her I do for a while, because I'm starting to get into that monkey-house effect where I can't even tell if I'm making good changes anymore because all of the iterations are running together.

In terms of ACTUAL progress, more level design for World 1. Now that I've settled on a gameplay loop of collecting empty cores and filling them with shards, I needed to add some cores to find (I only had two planned, and each world should have 5). So I added a few little areas here and there with mini-challenges to yield empty cores. Full cores will still only be found in Showdown Zones.

Also, enemies can now specify what weapons they're permitted to spawn with. Weapons are still random, but some enemies can say "never spawn me with a projectile weapon", "only spawn me with axe-class weapons", etc.

Oh, and redid the grass again to make it more vibrant.

I like the outfit. I've considered two tweaks, but they're gonna come later if they do since I'm done working on this for now and I want to get back to gameplay.

1) Give her a bandana around her neck, partly because it adds some color variation and partly to hide the shitty collar on her shirt
2) Redo the shard patterns around her legs a little bit to suggest the shape of cowboy boots.

>>175469682
Also, since this isn't as fun to watch as combat, here's a look at one of the new areas I've added, which is just a little fight with a small exploration "puzzle" to overcome. This was where I decided I needed to specify weapon spawns, because having enemies spawn with guns in such close quarters made the encounter way too challenging.

I think your music sounds very cheap, the aesthetic you've gone for is very applicable to a certain niche of indie game but I don't think it's very marketable. I understand you've deliberately gone for a nostalgic sound design (I like doing 16 bit chiptunes) but it's a period not that many people are gonna actually be nostalgic about, people might just think it sounds dated on accident.

The reason why you have so many brazilians churning out shit hans zimmer ripoffs is because people want that stuff, people respond to production value often more than harmonic or melodic content it's sad to say.

Here's some scattered pieces of my shit if you want to send some venom back, I like harsh feedback the most.

spooky swing and peculiar boss sound a bit too cheesy and "in your face" imo. for video games it should be more like inoffensive background noise almost like elevator music so it doesn't distract from the gameplay. but then again if peculiar boss is for a boss fight those are supposed to be more intense so that's fine i guess.

Took me like 3 hours to finish this big sack of shit because blender kept freezing for no good reason.
It's not blender's fault though, it's my toaster

Where do you hire artists? Ones that aren't college kids who will take 5x longer than their estimate and continually fuck you about. I don't want to spend a year learning art, just to make something mediocre.

In Unity, how can I animate a projectile (object), but make it so that the object doesn't always go to the exact keymarks the animation pointed to, but rather just perform the motion I made with the animation?

Basically I want to give a projectile a short animation right after it was fired, before it moves to its actual target. However, when I animate it, instead of making the animation motions, it always moves to the exact points in the scene where I put it in the animation. This means when the player fires the projectile, it doesn't make its animation where it is supposed to (near the position of the player which fired the projectile), but always at a certain place in the screen.

>>175474794

I have a new issue regarding dice rolling in lua, using the same code on my phone seems to be a lot less random, I the code waits 1.1 seconds before rolling again, I may need to add more waste variables after all.

Do I even need to use waste variables to skip the seed?

While it might have been in A minor, it doesn't use enough of the notes that differentiate it from its relative major hence why it doesn't sound particularly sombre.

I need help with homing lasers. I already have the lasers working more or less, but have two things I would like to have better.

First, the lasers should have a prefire animation (they should make a short curve before chasing the enemy), but I don't know how to do this, especially with my current homing laser scripts.

Second, I would like to have the homing lock-on script so, that I can't just target enemies at a certain distance/angle (like how I have it now), but they also stay locked/targeted once you had them locked, no matter if they leave the allowed distance/angle to target.

Those are basically my main problems right now.

I feel like swinging shouldn't be too bad, as an abstraction of what happens in real life when you swing on a rope you basically become a child object that is parented to the rope, and you inherent some velocity as you swing along the path of the rope.

Unless you mean swinging from a bar that the character grabs onto, in which case I might approach it functionally like having an invisible platform that the character can jump from unless they are not swinging and then the invisible platform doesn't count as a jumping off point. Visually you would just have a different set of animations for "IsHangingFromPipe" or something.

In what way do you want your combos to work? How do you see them interfering with your basic movements?

It's basically a dead language unless you're an obnoxious ad creator. You'd be better of learning COBOL or some shit than flash.

>>175491130
yes i meant swinging from a bar, you can't control the character once it's in the air (like irl), so you're stuck with whatever velocity you had before jumping out, i forgot about ledge grabbing, not sure if i want to add a special tile for it (to check collision with) or detect it automatically.
as for combat, it will be 1vs1, the camera will zoom in, combos will be a mixture of movement and action keys (like street fighter), for an example if you want to throw an opponent (if he's on the left side), you press an action for grab, up then right to throw him behind you, i want controls to be responsive so having a delay (to process if input is a combo or not) feels weird, and so does a tree of if statements

That sounds like you have at least two distinct 'states' for controlling your character.

One for parkour movement, one for close combat.

You could very much approach this with a rudimentary state machine. So the while your player is in one of those two states the input buttons do different things. just as an example, you could have spacebar be jump while in FreeMove state, and spacebar be crouch/low input while in Combat state. Same goes for how much left and right movement and speed your character moves around at can also be dependent on which state you are currently in.

As for parkour movement, even the real life version is just platforming, you just descend at a different speed if you are sliding down a wall, you can jump a second or third time if you are near a wall, etc. Try to break down what you think you can't do into small similar things you know how to do to make it look like it works.

At all? Check that you've re-seated all the cables completely, double check that if your power supply has an on/off switch it isn't in the 'off' position.

After that, you can either test that your power supply is working with a multimeter, or you can slowly start removing components one at a time to physically debug what could be the problem. Even if it's overheating it should still turn on, even if it is just for a few seconds.

let some misguided idea of "true pixel art" blind you.

The PC does turn on, but after that nothing. The BIOS doesn't show up on screen. Hell, the screen doesn't even wake up from stand by.
I'm scared.

Learn to program. Use functions and macros. You are applying damage, a force, and spawning 2 particle effects all in the same area. What the fuck.

>>175503003
what do you mean

It becomes just as easy after a bit of practice.

Blueprints specifically are good because they compile much faster than C++, also latent functions and timelines make a lot more sense.

It's good in narrow circumstances. Only when your problem is naturally graph-like in structure; trying to force other problems on visual coding is masochism.

I like it. But I'm not really a programmer, aside from knowing some absolute basics you can learn in an hour or two.
You've got to organize your blueprints (both visually and using functions) a lot if you want to edit or do something complex

trails for raycasting weapons (also there's a bit of blueprint for the weapon itself in there)

>spawning 2 particle effects
I'm spawning multiple ones on a line between where it was shot and where there was an impact, so there are some checks for whether it should spawn another emitter or end it.

Yes

No

Yes

Yes, but audio is really fucking important in making a game enjoyable

Bit of a stretch to call an animation state machine visual coding.

>>175502342
Blueprints can be as bad as coding.

Because you are fucking retarded and forgot the "cleanup that shit and add some comments" part. Go back to Unity Oh wait..What was that? You don't want to? and stop scaring potential devs with your memes away.

Are you looking for an enginedev or just someone willing to entertain the idea of coding your idea?

A friend of mine had a similar symptom, it turned out to be a short in the cable connected to the on/off switch on the case.

I would probably try removing all unnecessary components and cables and see if you can't get just your motherboard with PSU connected to post. Then start plugging things in one by one and see if any certain components cause the system to shutdown.

First attempt at colliders and Interfaces causes damage on equipping a weapon. Current options include fixing it to work like most games, or forcing the player to attend weapon handling classes and get his/her open carry permit before they can safely equip weapons on their person.

In unity(or any gamedev, really), is raycasting constantly(for example, onto where the mouse points, or where the weapon points) good or bad practice? Is it a big resource drain?
