Something tells me that's not what agdg had in mind when they told you to work on your textures. You might even know this and just enjoy the bad attention and arguing in which case you're really going to enjoy agdg.

>>181137930

Stupid question.
If you do like player.forward, will that give the direction the character is facing? i.e. not just 0,0,1?
I want to apply force to the way he's facing.

It's always the ones who ask for feedback too.
>hey everyone pay attention please feedback? what do you think? ideas?
Then they disregard 99% of what they're told and deliberately argue with agdg about it. It's attention whoring, it's not gamedev.

>>181136285
>shadows still fucked
apply yourself

>>181138197
You should stop trying so hard to appease agdg and just make the game you want to make.
Also stop replying to every little post like an autist because you know it always devolves into a shit hurricane.

>>181138197
>it was implied
Except that it wasn't because the buildings had nothing to do with the shadows and textures of the trees. Do you think you're clever and are entertaining a crib of infants who can be fooled with your bullshit? Fuck off and uninstall your game engine you're just wasting time.

you've replaced solid color with a bare-bones repeating pattern that does not convey anything about what the surface is. is the ground the same material as the houses? what is it supposed to be? textures are supposed to convey information, add visual interest etc but they do nothing here.

And what you stole didn't look good and you applied it poorly so it looks bad. So even if you didn't steal it you'd still make something that looks like shit and then argue with agdg about it. Isn't that what this is really all about for you?

Zero effort gamedev his favorite kind

A) The enemy detects that it was hit by a bullet and takes damage
B) The bullet detects that it hit an enemy and tells it to take damage

or you could actually fix them. whatever, make your garbage worse to spite internet strangers. make the shadows solid pink and replace the texture with goatse, that will teach us a lesson!

>or you could actually fix them.
GMS1 doesn't support layers so i can't fix them

like most of the things you're suggesting can't be done in GMS1

my game is currently rectangles moving about

>>181139626
not sure if bait but i'll bite, about the shadows, i know you want your shadows to be a bit transparent to show the ground, that's natural, the problem is when you draw two transparent shadows about each other they will add up, a building would normally block all kind of light, so whatever behind it "won't" have a shadow, a solution to this would to blit your shadows (opaque) to a layer, then blit that layer with transparency, this way your shadows will be transparent without that additive effect, another solution is stencil test, it depends on what engine you're using.
about the color, it looks a bit better with texture, but the color themselves aren't "comfy", you're putting too much effort on this so i will rule out high effort trolling.

>>181140097
why not just write it down when you get a small idea and stick to it

>>181138197
>i've removed the trees for now
WHY, DIPSHIT? Was that the feedback you were given? No. You had a nice looking park ready to be improved and because you're SO FUCKING LAZY you removed an entire forest instead of making minor improvements. You are not capable of making a game let alone a good game, and this is why, so get fucked and leave gamedev to the men you big dumb faggot.

The former. If you use the latter then every bullet that misses will have to check if it's hitting an enemy, whereas if you use the former, only bullets that hit will be checking.

i'm basically making a relatively basic turn based rpg.

a week ago i got my artist to finish the first sets of sprites. they are high res (around 500px) and each animation is around 60 frames.

if you're using a physics engine for collision engine, the cost would be the same since it will notify both the bullet (to delete itself) and the enemy (to know it's been hit), it's useful to have it on the bullet side because you can a bullet that pierces through many enemies but it apply damage only once per each (it has to remember which enemy it hit so it doesn't hit it again).
but if you will have a complicated code, make the enemy deal with it instead, since you'll spawn and delete a lot of bullets each frame, if the size of the bullet object is big it will be heavy on frame time. you can still however mix both approaches depending on the bullet type.

here, i knew game maker supported drawing to a surface/buffer ever since 8, just draw your shadows on a "shadow surface", you just need to know when you should draw above or bellow your characters, but since you're doing Z sorting then you should already know.

>>181141906

It's not an algorithm.

The grids are all in a list or array aren't they? And the AI system uses the same system to calculate the route? So, just access the AI function and extract the grids it expects to pass over.

Or run another instance of the AI function to simulate the grids, then grab them.

>>181141857

what you're looking for is a djikstra map
basically you make a seperate grid, and run djikstra's algo over it, every time you visit a cell write down the cost of getting there in the grid + the path taken, and then you can use that grid for visualization after the fact
this is basically the same as A* but you store every path instead of just the target path

This is just good old dijkstra dude. Please read a cs book.

it's flood fill algorithm, you just get every tile neighbor to the starting pos, then get tiles neighbor to those, until you reach max movement length, a recursive function is best for it.

On this page there's a simple algorithm for getting the distance from one grid tile to the others. It's towards the bottom.
http://www.redblobgames.com/pathfinding/tower-defense/
On this page there's information about Dijkstra, which is essentially the same algorithm but takes into account tile weights. In case some terrain takes longer to move along.

You keep a list of visited tiles, if the tile is further away than the unit can move, you don't continue the algorithm on it.

The devs themselves were the ones saying the sales were disappointing. It was honestly lower than what many people here expected it to be.
Certainly not a failure though. And it looks like the sales have started to pick up. Plus with semi-regular updates it will keep people talking and help sales even more.

>>181150936
I mean, most of the people who read Gamasutra are devs and devs hardly play games so it probably won't give him any sales, but dat PRESTIGE though.

So guys, I wondering... so many people here use Unity and probably are in need of solutions for his everyday gamedeving. I guess that many people also don't have the money to buy from the store or time to develop it's own solutions.

Then, how about we create a community open sourced library to extend the engine in general? Create tools, editor extensions, shaders and etc?

Hell of a lot of new stuff since my last progress post.

- First and foremost, enemies! I implemented proper pathfinding AI that seeks out the player as well as having aggro range and losing interest outside of said range. Currently enemies just clip right through each other but I plan on fixing that once I figure out how. The enemies have health, can deal damage to the player, and the yellow guys explode when they die a la Serious Sam.

- I also implemented damage numbers that combine when multiple damage sources hit at once, so you'll get one number saying '50' instead of a cluster of numbers all saying '10' when you fire a shotgun. I'm trying to make it so that there's a couple-millisecond window to totally eradicate the issue but I'm having trouble figuring that out. Will keep working on it.

- Tweaked the weapon effects so that bullets are faster and spark when they hit walls, in addition to making the player and enemies walk a bit slower. I think this affects the pace of the game pretty nicely because walking around fast with slower bullets made it harder to track the enemies.

As per that one anon's reply a couple threads back, the pathfinding itself was not too hard to implement thanks to Construct 2 but there's tons of little hitches to sort out. After that though I'll have a good template for future enemies.

>>181153607
most of us here are working on games but don't want to be associated with 4chan

>>181154298
4k obviously

>>181154298
you should support everything the user's drivers report to you

>>181154181
That's probably the opposite
I bet most people here want to consider themselves part of the 4chan gamedev community but don't have what it takes to post progress or make game. So they stay around, lurking (good), eventually picking up the inspiration to start (better) or shitposting and mocking yesdevs (worst case).
I hope I'm wrong

>>181154298
GBA was 240x160, but even that feels cramped nowadays.
For pixelart I'd recommend trying 320x180

Anyone who doesn't hang around is probably more because posting shit on places like Twitter and tumblr actually drums up publicity, despite getting not feedback

Which is easier/faster to make for a top down RPG with character customization? Fully animated lowpoly 3D, or fully animated 2D pixel art?

Looking good so far. However, I hope you aim to disincentivize the backpedal-and-shoot gameplay in some way. I can imagine combat getting boring really quickly if not.

>>181156506
Like which game do you want your game to play when you're done? (the closest one)

>>181154973
you mean 800 by 600

>>181156621
I am anticipating that will be a problem, but right now I don't really have any ideas on how to keep it from happening besides just giving the enemies less HP. If anyone has any ideas on how to keep it from becoming "backpedal and shoot" I'd like to hear them.

>>181156773
I'd say similar to a top down Serious Sam, hence the exploding enemy. Although my game will be more like the level based parts than the arena segments.

>>181156916
Also, I am aware of Serious Sam's Bogus Detour, which is an actual real top-down Serious Sam game that just came out, but I'm trying not to use it for TOO much influence because I don't want to end up copying it.

>>181156905
you DON'T FUCKING know ME

>>181156340
3d is going to be easier, asset pipeline-wise, because you can reuse skeletal animations, reskin the same models, easily add modular attachments and so on.

but unless you have a lot of practice, generating all that lowpoly art is going to take a long time, and the models you make near the end will be 10x better than the ones you did at the start, forcing you to redo half of them to get consistent quality. what i'd do is before even starting the game just spend a few months making lowpoly shit, just anything you can think of, characters, props, fanart, lowpoly dioramas of favorite movie scenes etc so that you develop a consistent style and workflow and then you can actually make art assets for a game that won't look like a beginner experimenting.

>summon mooks that run to the player
>fuck with terrain/powerups in a way that the player wants to prevent
>critical mission objective: kill this speedy dude

etc

>>181141906
I used a* and depth first search

>>181157332
Those are all good ideas, thank you, I will save them somewhere for when I'm putting in more enemy types.

>>181157210
So a shmup with boss weak points? There are shmups that do that already, usually destroying parts before the main body is a huge part of scoring but progressively can make the boss harder to kill.
Do you mean a twinstick shooter at that point?

>>181156916
Enemies drop collectibles/powerups that you have to run to get before they disappear.

Some sort of melee weapon that you can interweave between shots.

Just making rooms tiny stops backpedaling.

Make it so you have a cone of vision thats only right in front of you.(prolly weakest idea)

>>181157314
Holy shit thank you for this

>>181157493
I was thinking of having enemies drop coins or something sometimes, which can be exchanged for weapon upgrades between levels or for scoring. I could have them disappear real fast so you won't be able to pick them up if you're not at the very least circling around the mob. I'll think about that, too, thanks.

>>181157401
I should have put it in the post. But I'm imagining it as a 3D game. Maybe the hovering bike is more of a gliding machine than a flying machine. So you'll have to go off bumps and hills to get height. Probably aiming with the mouse in a third person shooter sort of way.

>>181152039
Using raycast isn't really the best way to do this.

You should store the tiles in a matrix then use the mouse position to read them.

I mean, if you're saying 30~ hours a month, I guess eventually. But if that's divided into 1 hour a day, no. You'll never accomplish anything meaningful if you just spend an hour at a time. There's an overhead period when you get into the groove and context of your work that takes time, and if your individual parcels of work are too short, you'll be losing a significant amount of effort to these, not to mention some problems just take hours of in context work to solve. If you sat down and worked for 6 good hours once a week, and doubled up one weekend a month, yes, you could make -something-. Eventually.

Second. Raycasting down the z axis isn't useful outside of 3D. If you're gonna use raycasting with 2D stuff, it's for like, hitscan bullets and lighting effects.

Not sure if I like this but implemented spears that you can throw and they'll stick to walls which you can use as bouncey platforms or as a weapon projectile

>>181160796
I dont get the problem

How about write code and use classes when they reduce duplication.

>>181160776
manboobs

>>181161637
well of course but you can do that on paper before writing anything. I mean thats the kind of shit we do all day everyday at uni so I just do it for my personnel projects as well and spend a minimal amount of time actually doing the code.

>but you can do that on paper before writing anything
I don't know why you would ever want to do this.

>>181161561
how fucked are you if you throw the spear too low into the wall. Did you make it so you can recover the spear with your tongue or haven't planned that far yet?

>>181161561
get rid of the spears and use tongue to reach crags in the rock and boost yourself upwards, prompting possible double, triple, etc jumps

digging the falling leaves though. nice addition

>>181161561
what happens if you fuck up? Can you get it back again? Does it falls after a few sec?

>>181162031
so you dont start coding without knowing properly what you're going to code.

Your keyboard has a backspace key.

Did you never learn programming or something? Of course you can fix stuff later if something is flawed. Anyways, whats your game?

I already have grapple things that when you hit them with your tongue you get pulled to it

>>181162262
I stole the idea from an old project of mine. not sure if it was before or after volgarr. I still gotta play that game

>>181158228
If you're extremely disciplined why would you stop devving the second your egg timer goes off for your coding hour? Talented and dedicated geniuses didn't accomplish things because they pocketed stuff off into super timeboxed segments. Bruce Lee's LIFE was fitness and personal philosophy, he ate, breathed and bled it. Da Vinci's LIFE was art, science, thought and experimentation. If you have a real passion, it can't be timeboxed, and wouldn't work. You'd sacrifice sleeping and eating time before you cut down on the work you loved to do.
