not much progress lately, as I just closed on a house last week and moved over the weekend, but i'm hoping to have another set of levels ready for DD

>>180306315
game idea: zelda but you only have a shield

>>180306315
I've been wondering, how come the entire screen goes black when you change screens? Can you make the HUD stay visible? It just seems weird to have the entire HUD blink out of existance

>>180306315
I like the art style you've got going for this.

>>180306381
shield runs are best runs

>>180306416
the "effect", if you can call it that, is fairly placeholder so far. I want to do a zelda-style scroll but that's going to be a bit tough since enemies are rolled after the room is instantiated. Nothing that can't be fixed with surfaces

>>180306478
thanks anon

>>180306686
Hell I don't mind the blink, at least keep the HUD on top.
Or you could go crazy and try to come up with a different room transition effect.

>tfw programming saving/loading

>>180308186
No

>>180308308
What would such a game be, then?

>>180308186
believe it or not, it's relatively trivial to convert a discrete space /discrete time game into a continuous space / continuous time game, and preserve all of the mechanics.

Whether or not what you get is a roguelike is for the autists to argue over.

>>180308186
A traditional roguelike? No. One of the key defining features is turn based.
A modern roguelite can be real time or whatever you want.

>>180308363
People call them roguelites

>>180308186
>>180308363
A roguelike is turn based, grid based, has non-modal combat, has permadeath, and procedural generation.

If your game doesn't have those things it is a different genre. If your game has permadeath and procedural generation it will likely be labeled roguelite. But roguelite itself has no specific genre.

>>180308567
Good to see this is still alive. It's looking good.

>>180308567
>i-frame dodging in a turn based game
I dunno but that sounds like it trivializes the combat.

>>180308880
IMGUI

>>180309028
Mario RPG has dodge and you can play the whole game without getting hit once.

>>180309028
surprisingly it doesn't, its a fairly precise timing that is needed, going off the tells of the enemies is really all you have. For me it's easy, but inexperienced players tend to die on the more basic of enemies.

>>180309028
>adding skill to a game trivializes the combat

>>180309028
there are already several games that do this lad

>>180309470
remember to test it on other people to make sure the tells really are tells and not just you knowing that they are there

>>180310146
Don't worry that is what we have been focusing on lately, people have been pretty helpful on pointing out unfairness

How are you possibly managing all the aspects of your games, especially those of you who are working on 3D projects? There is just too much work, at least if you want to make something decent. I'd like to get into this but I don't want to end up being a jack of all trades.

godot vs go.

>>180310601
Helps me if I don't look at it as "Oh I have to do this and this and this and this" and instead just have smaller short term goals. Like by the end of this week I told myself I'm gonna finish modeling and texturing my castle. That's ALL I have to worry about. Not the music, not the NPC's, nothing but the modeling and texturing. Then next week I'll decide on a goal and do that.

If I start thinking about all the work I have to do overall, it suddenly seems like too big of a task to handle and Ill get flustered and want to quit. So I don't think about it.

IMO the worst thing about making a big game yourself is that if you don't like something you did, and want to re-do it, it takes up a significant % of your development time. If I make an environment and decide to scrap it, That's maybe an entire weeks worth of work., and so far I've scrapped maybe half of the stuff I've worked on for the game so far. If you're on a team, it's not as big of a deal, because progress is still being made by other members of the team. If you fuck something up, progress halts, or reverts back completely, and that can really take a toll on you mentally.

>>180311894
I usually go back and document the shit out of everything before I move to doing art for awhile so I'm not completely lost when I go back

>>180313375
>Will I be able to make a game with that?
Yes, but the only successful Java games I know of are Runescape and Minecraft and they're both famous for running like shit.

>What engines is it compatible with?
None, but Unity uses C# which is basically Java for grown-ups.

>>180266953
Thanks. Added the hurt player and zombie sprites, still heavily based on Castlevania ones but at least not the same.

>>180306315
I love this game so fucking much.

>want to pick up an item and add it to my inventory in Unreal
>the most logical thing to do with the actor is delete it, since the inventory is not a physical place
>this means I can't store an actor reference but instead must use a class reference
>want to call a function on the object when I "use" it from the inventory
>can't call functions from class references, only from instances
What am I supposed to do
Teleport the actor out of the main level geometry instead of deleting it?
Instantiate a new actor, call the function, then delete it?

>>180314398
i hate how the zombie just walk out of the screen, it's stupid, it should stop close to the player then attack, stop, then follow the player again, make it die from two hits or three, first pushes him away, second kills him, at least this would work when you have a bunch of zombies

>>180314721
That looks very Castlevania-esque so I assume the zombies will spawn infinitely.

>>180314583
Actors are things that physically exist in the world so I question why you have such code in a Actor class to begin with

>>180311593
what are you making?

>>180306315
Is this a roguelike?

>>180314835
Where else would I put it? At a minimum, every consumable needs a "consume" function and every equipable item needs an "equip" function. I can't put functions in structs or I would've done that. What other options are there? All that comes to mind is creating a database containing a function for every item inside the GameInstance and passing that an item ID to feed into a switch statement to figure out which function to call. But that's stupid.

>>180313812
Any suggestions of what I should use if codeacademy is shit?

>>180315169
It's probably closer to a roguelite, although I usually just call it "roguelike-inspired" since people get so uppity about those terms.

But that's not how enemies worked in the original castlevania nibba.

What >>180314805 and >>180315659 said.
They are supposed to spawn endlessly and are the first enemy you will find so they need to be somewhat easy to take on.
They kinda take 2 hits to kill though, you either destroy the torso first and then the legs or you destroy the legs and avoid the torso, which I failed to do here.

You can get it down to $414.10 with mail-in rebates.

looks interesting and I've added it to my wishlist, but the punk hacker thing is a really awful look.

>>180320098
It is a good technique, however the 25 minute part isn't really that important. What is important is focusing exclusively on devving for an extended amount of time, whether that's 15 minutes, 25 minutes, 35 minutes or more. Taking small breaks is good as well, usually it's best to use that time to get away from the computer. Use the bathroom, get some water, only check the internet if you have enough self control to only check it for a minute or two. Then repeat multiple times. It doesn't have to be exactly 4 times, just keep going until you feel the need for a longer break. Use the longer break to get a snack and post lots of progress on /agdg/.

The most important thing is completing things within the work times. Even if the things are small. Make a list of the big thing you want to work on for the day, or the next few days, and any small tasks that might go along with it. Check them off as you go.

>>180322518
Thats probably the most common criticism, along with
>not using linux for hacking
but its also deliberate, since like you said its a very niche genre, the market is pretty small, the game has to immediately telegraph what its about just from the thumbnail. I'm not cool enough to be able to call it something subtle and mysterious like "Mu Complex" and intrigue people into clicking it.

On the other hand, there are so few hacking games, hopefully people that like them will be able to get past the cartoony premise since there are so few to choose from.

>>180323024
They used to be generic stock art icons, but you wouldn't waifu a clipart
You're right about hackers not showing their faces, but for $10 or whatever, it makes the game look so much better. They're for the story campaign, and theres actually a subplot about the hacker group goading one of the members to post their face, and once they do its revealed she's a girl, and a shitstorm ensues when all the boys try to "jokingly" hit on her and mansplain hacking to her

Are these good proportions for a cute skeleton man? Game will be played looking down at an iso angle (iirc 30 degrees downward?). I think he's a little on the tall side for a "base," but I'm gonna start working on the rest of this since I could use him as a tall enemy variant then reproportion it a little for the protagonist. I could whittle way at the jaw more, widen the head, and reduce the overall height form three heads to just two and a half, or even just two for shorter characters and enemies. Or maybe the viewing angle will make taller people look better, who knows?

then you get the ebst AMD ryzen that you can afford on $640 given 16gb of ram and an nvme ssd as big as you need

for example if you decide you only need 256gb nvme ssd, then you can buy a faster ryzen cpu

but if you actually need 512gb nvme ssd you have to get the cheapest cpu

and use stock cpu cooler, after-market is only a bit better and at $640 you cant afford it

I just tried and the cheapest pc I could put together was over $700 but this store didn't carry any cases with built in PSU and this is aus where everything is more expensive

WarGreymon is always related! He's prodigious!

Yes. Think of early shareware games and how a lot of the ones that did pre-baked shading onto the sprites had this strange heavy gradient effect. It was a very common effect with VESA video cards at the time.

Pitfall comes to mind as an example, the effect was way more obvious if you were playing it on an old graphics card. It was like dithering, but the shading was done in huge chunks of pixels

Uhhh I don't think this is what you're asking for but this might help along the way

What language/engine should I use if I want to make a simple physics game, something like flappy bird? Probably for Android.

I used to post progress here a few years ago but I determined that it's easier for me to stay motivated if I just don't post anything ever.

If you care about money (I guess I don't) then yeah you need to get on twitter.

>>180336995
did you at least start a project with a reasonable scope?

>>180337306
Sorry, I mean like gamestate examples. That's a good start, though.

I tried making a main game state machine but it ended up being huge and nightmarish by comparison. I thought about breaking it up into components attached to objects, but then I get into problems where things that shouldn't be in conflicting states end up being in those states because they have no way of signaling to the gamestate that they've entered that state (IE: Game keeps going after player dies, player is in death state but game is in run state)

>>180336995
oooh, that's gotta be rough
>>180337148
who cares if it's ugly as long as it works and it runs decently?
if you revisit it every now and then you'll find improvements, and as long as you're not lazy, you'll implement them
if you want to become a better coder that process is just as important as reading things, if not more so

Why aren't the recap for June on the site?

>>180337449
post your game

>>180330214
this is great, you've made progress in such a short time, possessing enemies/stealing power is always fun, can't wait to see much enemies you can play as

>>180337506
Okay, I'll give it a shot.
It's just I eventually had a game state that had upwards of 20 different states. Maybe tomorrow I'll post it and people can critique what I had.

>>180337478
dunno if it helps but i run a script for "initially setting the state" whenever I change states anywhere. this gives some important control.

>>180337242
Depends on the player I guess. Real QA would nail your balls to a wall for it. It's the barely noticible little things like that which add a shitton of polish to the game. Have you added sounds to your menu yet?

>Ka-ching
Holy fuck, it still blows my mind how even simple shit like that adds a shitton of professionalism to an otherwise lame feeling project.

>>180337841
As in every time? Is that really slow or is it such a minor thing that no one would notice?

I manage the different states in objects, and in kinda-sorta tiered setup
so the most basic game state can be playing, paused, or cutscene (to be implemented), then you have a state for which menu the player is in if the game is paused, and you have which movement state the player is in (on the ground, jumping, climbing stairs, climbing onto a ledge, falling off a ledge, etc.), and you have a bunch of more specific states for things like analog sticks

I've made a mistake

>>180337970
Oh.
Oh I see.

>Here I am trying to pass around semaphores and someone does it with a switch case
Fuck why am I so dumb?

>>180338051
addendum: I'll follow you if you actually post progress and don't shitpost excessively

>>180337874
well I'm not sure why it's happening or why my solution (cut the scrolling cooldown short if the direction that triggered it isn't being held any more) doesn't work
to be clear flicking it in one direction really fast works fine, it's only if you go back and forth; I figured the only people that would do that are the ones that are really bored, and if they're really bored with my game then I've already lost them

this night i'll start like making a game, i will pick one game in aggy daggy (2d only), i will clone it and just have a race with the dev to see how much progress i can do in the same time span.
what game you want to be cloned?

>>180337462
Maaaaaaaybe? It's right here>>180329294 took me two weeks to get this much done. Once I get mechanics solid it's just creating bosses. Yeah "just"...

>>180337506
I'm not actually in college. It was just an analogy.

>>180338156
the picture is supposed to be a joke, I think it's from a decompiled executable, although you do see stuff similar to that in real games, just usually it's less messy

>>180337902
For me I use the script state_set(state) to set the state variable and inside the script i set some variables' starting values. I only run it when switching between states which doesn't happen often.

>>180338274
OH. Oh.
So the way I'm doing it is actually the right way? I am so confused. I think I'll go to bed and think about it more in the morning.

>>180338051
Post yours amigo, I enjoy following agdg devs (when they actually post progress)

I'll keep this in mind, thank you.
