Okay then.

Basic spell functionality is in (fire, ice and "lightning"). The enemies also have corresponding status effects (really basic atm).

Also really basic particle effects.

did I mention it's really basic?

Do people here write their engines from scratch or are you all using Unity/Godot/whatever?

>>182650208
The vast majority use engines, the rest use ez frameworks.

Whenever I try to do this:

void Start()
{
private AudioSource audio = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
}

Unity starts screeching at me. I need to do this because I have another method which uses the audio but I don't want it to call it up every single time it uses it.

>>182650143
The angle at which the character stands is weird. Can you get it to face forward?

>>182650269
I see, thanks.

>>182650443
I don't think it's weird and why should it face forward during combat

>>182650648
because then he's constantly walking diagonally
it makes sense for him to be standing sideways when still, but that's it.

>>182650443
>>182650648
He should at least face forwards when he's using magic

>>182650443
>>182650648
Not gonna change it, making the player face 100% forward would just basically mean removing the right arm & sword.

Anon is a faggot who won't at least try it out himself. I mean, as the dev can ultimately do what he wants, but he's still a faggot. Pic related literally took me 2 seconds.

Anyway, here's an example of what it might look like if he was facing forward. Note that due to the set up of the pixel art, his head has to actually grow in size to be in the middle. It can't remain at the original size because then it would always have to be off, unless he changed the rest of the body. Basically, the head is four pixels, an even number, while the body is five, an odd number. I made the head five pixels wide and moved the arm down one pixel.

>>182651689
Taking pics there is a side mechanic and it's not like that game would ever get made in the first place.
I'd prefer a game where you're a voyeur man or woman full time.
The closest game to it is Natsuiro High School but it's extremely basic, most of your options is peeking up skirts.

>>182651912
looks bad

>>182651830
This will be the actual way any computer will do it on the lowest level. No matter what kind of syntactic sugar you'll put on top of it, compiler will make a series of if-then from it anyway.
So you are just writing it the best possible way for a machine to understand what you want to do. I don't know what did you mean by "actual way" but this is the most direct way.

>>182651912
I get your point. But now that you've tried it for me, I can also say it looks bad. I might change it in the future, but really I don't care about it now enough to change it.

In the real world almost all combat tecniques assume that you turn your body sideway when facing forward. This is done to reduce your attackable area and increase defence, and also to improve forward-backward maneuverability.

>>182652119
Yeah. I'm thinking if the big head version came first, it wouldn't be so bad. But the smaller head is already the standard, and what's more, I think it's a little closer to believable anatomy. Although the art is just single colors, the big head version looks more "cartoony" than the smaller head version. Ultimately, I would go for the original version. Although it facing off to the side might feel weird, at least it has an uneven, and therefore more interesting, silhouette.

But yeah, I know this is just a small thing, but I recommend devs everywhere at least try to consider feedback. If you don't agree with something, explain why instead of saying "I'm not gonna do it." That just makes you look lazy.

And that's completely fine. I tried to point out the issue of how making the original sprite face forward is impossible without making its head bigger. Of course, there's also what >>182652291 said.

Anyway, sorry to single you out. The fact that you post progress at all means you're not lazy and are willing to work on your game. It just bugs me to see people automatically throw away feedback that could *potentially* make their work better. But yeah, feedback definitely varies too.

I like your magic system, but I think you should turn all abilities into AoE abilities and change your magic damage types.

You could do three types, metals, gases and catalysts. Alone metals is just metal dust that blinds enemies, gases just slow enemies down and catalysts cause various effects (fire, lightning etc.)

This allows players to collect different kind of metals, gases and catalysts, to create different effects. You don't even need to design these. Just get the periodic table and get the chemical reactions from there. Magnesium and Fire? Hot fire that melts enemies. Sulfur, saltpeter and coal? Explosions.

Players can slot these in from the inventory window and experiment with different types of reactions.

As for AoE.

Did you play WildStar? Every ability had a different shaped AoE shape. For metals you can do a small cone (for dust), for gases and round aimed disk and for catalysts a long lance. Maybe have different AoE effects for different mixtures of chemicals.

You could create a shitload of depth for a roguelike like this. Even make the materials lie around. Metals in caves, catalysts at shrines and gases from dead or rotting bodies.

If I wasn't on another project I would want to join you as an ideaguy.

PS: If you increased the resolution of your game and added cute armored girls you would make MILLIONS.

I like slopes more in metroidvanias. If it's a straightforward platformer, I don't think you absolutely need them. But it all depends on the design. Mario 3 and Sonic make actual gameplay use of slopes with the sliding and rolling, respectively. If you don't do it for the gameplay potential, I guess it would just be to have more natural looking stages.

The damage for making yourself known as a shovelware dev and therefore effectively killing any sales prospects on future games (that may not be shovelware) is not worth the $110.
Heck even if he sold every single one of the copies and got 0 refunds it's still not worth it:

Possible, but that would require him to register as a different company on steam, he's probably selling this as an individual and you only have so many identities and addresses you can use before steam tells you to fuck off.
You may release using a sibling's name and address, but then you are just going through an insane amount of effort for $100 bucks, easier to give handjobs for $5 in the bathroom of your local McDonald's.

You can't register with the same name and address multiple times if you plan to do business with steam, they ask you for a couple of papers.

Do you really think a bad game is something that ruins an identity? It takes deliberate effort to ruin your identity, it takes especially bad behavior, gogem or phil fish levels somewhere around there. You're PMSing about some guy making less than $1k off a mobile game, how do you survive the concept of the google play or iPhone market? Don't look at it, is my advice, you seem like the type to fucking hang themself at the notion of how much money is being made with shitty games.

A dev can release a bad game and if it makes money move on with no problem. People aren't going to follow him to his next game and stop others from buying it, you can't do that to a lowly shoveldev unless they kidnapped your kids or something, nobody will give a shit about your salt, you can only abstain from purchase yourself.

>>182657639
Sure, as I said before, best scenario he made $390 before taxes. I do that in less than 3 days freelancing part time (web dev). Going through the entire process of releasing a game on steam alone takes more than that.
I mean, good for him but claiming that selling shovelware is in any way admirable or advisable is silly, especially if you plan on doing this on a more serious manner in the future.

You seem to be too easily impressed, that's all.
Not salty, just running numbers. If you are going to do that kind of stuff you are probably better off doing legit work.

>>182657785
Yep, now factor in the cost of incorporating an LLC and getting a PO box (most charge yearly), and tell me it's still a good idea.

>>182657529
>>182657656
I look them up and most of my friends will not even watch videos of games released by companies with a bad rep, so yeah, everything you do has an impact. Not that it matters if your plan isn't doing this seriously though.

>>182658507
No way fag.

>>182658556
Releasing one shitty game on steam isn't a bad rep, it's no rep, and the vast majority of people who might hear about his subsequent games would not associate him with his previous games until after seeing a trailer or screenshots of any new thing he might be producing.

>>182656680
this is useful stuff. I'll keep this for my future mech game, if I ever get around to making one.
But why make a universal joint and not not one like these? It allows for realistic rotation.Though, I guess it is a lot more effort to implement.

so legit question is it easier to model mechs than organic creatures? since you dont really need to bother with mesh deformation when rigging and most of the comprising shapes are cubes?

>>182657982

>an incorrect opinion, as was demonstrated
where? run the numbers, to make more than me with this you need to release a game every 2 days ad eternum, and there's going to be massive diminishing returns in the very short term.

The more mechanical the create is, the easier it is to model.

Organic creatures are complex and require a lot of work.

Androids are simpler, but still complex.

Robots have less moving parts and are easier to rig and model.

Machines (vehicles, aircraft, ships, space vessels) are the easiest to model and animate, because they have the least moving parts.

>>182659269
>>182659353
Thank you. I'm trying to learn to model and I figure if I ever want to move from 2d dev to 3d dev, it might be wiser to start with mechs than humans or animals

I think people just naturally want to distance themselves from spergs. If someone is still babbling their political beliefs online you don't want to work with them, why would you?

It's not that hard.

The reason it takes AAA studios longer is due to the fact they're the ones who have to come up with the ideas and how to execute it properly.

If you're just mindlessly copying the game, then it can be done in a fraction of the time since the idea/concept part is already done.

As far as learning goes, usually a simple tool that doesn't deform is easier learn how to make than something that's organic.

Though as far as actual workflow/time investment goes, I could pump out a bunch of morpsuit men faster than I could make a good mech. You also sorta have more "artistic room for error" on an organic structure. Though ultimately either one could be more complex than the other. Another anon mentioned that modeling a plane was easy, but not if you're actually whipping up a cad file for each part down to the screws.

It seems like the gibberish is being typed from the left side with new letters being added on the right, but when you un-gibberish it starts by revealing the rightmost letter and working backwards from there.

How? It's a tiny little fragile piece with low range of motion. Action figures and gunpla etc almost always have rotation points sticking out the ends of the joint. If you just stab the red cylinder into the forearm (or have the forearm stab a cylinder into a hole in the joint), you don't even have to model it, since it'll always be concealed. You can just leave a flat face like on top.

what's with the drunk blur effect?

I'm running into trouble making abilities that interact with one another in interesting ways. To that end I've decided to try and codify ability synergy when it comes to RPGs. Here's what I've come up with:

Synergy is the result of two or more pieces producing additional value when used
together. Examples:
*Multiplication: One ability increases the effect of another ability that triggers multiple times. A buff might cause an ability to deal +25% damage but as the ability hits every nearby enemy the value of the buff is increased.
*Stacking: Multiple abilities increase the same attribute to an extreme value, producing an exponential effect. A pair of difference buffs might each increase a character's ability to dodge attacks from 50% to 70%. 70% is more survivable than 50%, but 90% is exponentially more so.
*Exposure: One ability causes another to affect more targets, or to affect targets it couldn't before. One ability might draw foes to a certain point while another blasts them.
*Cover: One ability compensates for another's weakness. One ability might cause a character to deal and take double damage for a turn while another might make them invincible for a turn.
*Fuel: One ability allows another to be used more often than expected. One powerful ability might cost a lot of mana while another reduces the cost of the next ability used to 0.

What do you think? Do you have anything to add? Any thoughts on the proper way to design abilities that combine well with one another?

There are too many more good examples, you're a shitter.

reminder that 3d games are easier than 2d games if you're not already a good artist

>Synergy is the result of two or more pieces producing additional value when used
it's easier to say "when two things are more than the sum of their parts"

>Multiplication
>Stacking
These sound like almost sound like redundant categories. If I were you, I'd look at the difference between addition and multiplication in minmax games. Suppose I've got a ring that adds 5 levels of strength, and a ring that adds 20% more strength. Below 50 strength, the +5 will always add more, but above 25 strength, the 10% ring will add more levels than what the 5-level ring would add. So as a low-strength mage, the additive ring would help you diversify, but as a high 50 strength character you would have a ring that adds twice as many strength levels as the mage's ring, comparatively rewarding you for your focus as compensation for your lack of diversification.

Though sometimes it's good to also diversify your amount of diversification, if that makes any sense. So like, say we're playing a third person game and I've got a bomerang that penetrates enemies, applies damage plus a slowdown effect on contact, and always returns back to me. This would be great for a melee character because it diversifies your range, allows you to close the gap by slowing down your opponents, and can hit twice if you manage to pin them down with your melee weapon. And on top of that, since you don't reload until the boomerang comes back regardless of your character's reload speed stat, it makes lots of sense to use it on melee characters.

But allowing for total synergy isn't always good. If I've got a gun that heats up my character, but another gun that fires the heat away, those tools can be used to shoot indefinitely when used in conjunction with one another, so you have to add a catch. For example, the heat-drain gun might make you immobile, and the heat-generating gun might be unable to effectively dissipate heat on it's own, forcing you to occasionally immobilize yourself.

I'm thinking of turning my space kit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hxBsFkVK-Q) into a space combat roguelite

Start the game with a carrier you can pick from and unlock more, jump around to events like FTL, and fight ships by launching a fighter you can upgrade/change and taking out the enemy carrier

I'm torn between doing this next or making a more traditional hand crafted campaign based space combat game

I take back what I've said, I just did a quick model of the joint itself and it would suck for a fighting mech.
I was thinking that if you'd put a plate over the disk that connects the cylinder to the cube you could protect the joint but it really just makes it impossible to move.

Somewhat simple but looks okay, what do you think? My dialogue system is also functional, but I dont have any interesting conversation to show since I didn't write a lot so far, but I'm testing and I can have a full one with multiple choices.

How would I go about making my character's legs only turn the minimum required amount to stay within 45 degrees of the upper body? What I have right now just snaps the legs to the yaw of the controller at the start of the turn and it looks like shit.

>>182670379
im not sure what you are trying to do
are you not using animations?

if you are going to move the legs programmatically then you have to move one at a time and pivot the body around the planted leg unless your character is jumping or flying

No, I want the entire actor's (black) yaw to be "pushed" along with the player controller (red) if the yaw difference between the controller and actor goes above a certain amount (the V) in either direction.
