How did you do it? I'll have to do that in the future, might as well know now before killing myself.
>>187311264
Your game looks more of a clusterfuck every time I see it. It's probably a lot of fun to play but I literally have no idea how it works even after all this time.
>>187310458
DELETE THIS FUCKING PICTURE RIGHT THE FUCK NOW FUCK YOU
>>187311418
trust me when I say it's much better than before
>>187311376
'add font range' in font properties. For some obscure reason half of the fonts I've checked had the japanese characters rotated at 90 degree and the other half didn't even display correctly
>>187311585
Thanks a lot, anon. Also I really want to play your game.

While I think gogem is a joke, that is quite possibly falseflagging.
Finally progress after a long time!
I added a black hole gun. It uses a post process shader to distort things, pulls enemies closer and kills them instantly if they are close enough to center.
I was kinda lazy last couple weeks. I feel like If I can spare 1-2 hours a day in average, I can release it in 2 months. Why it is so hard :(
>>187312058

>>187312227
Holy shit, that looks amazing
>>187312227
wow, very cool
wew lad just finished redoing my game states and it's working very well but I can't show anything because no visual change since last time I posted progress
Well at least it'll be easier to add menus and shit
>>187312227
pls teach me how2shader senpai
that looks fucking cool
>>187312612
Nice work anon.
I've also been doing behind the scenes changes that improve the game and make things easier for me, but have no visual changes.
>>187312545
>>187312591
Thanks, I didn't write the shader myself though. My shader-fu skills are not really good.
I kinda improved a little bit and made it scallable and work for different resolutions though
filtering gogem has been the best decision I've ever made in my life
the thread feels so much nicer
500+ FPS but no screen tearing during movement... Interesting...

From time to time I visit shadertoy and awe at what people do. They are kinda hard to learn and reverse engineer but you can learn a few tricks there and there
>>187311585

>>187312997
Your game isn't fullscreen, windows has a vsync enabled for its desktop environment, unlike some linux distribution where you need to add one if you want
make it fullscreen and you'll see tearing

What's the problem?
>>187316209
>>187315841
Well I just spent half a day looking through my movement system to find out why suddenly jumping became incoherent.
Turns out that for some reason, when the character was on ground, a boolean determining whether the character could jump kept flickering between true and false.
The only way that the boolean could switch was through collision detection with the world, and could only turn on if collision with the ground was detected. So obviously something was wrong with the collision.
So then I found that the reason the collisions weren't consistent was because I changed the downward movement value when the character is on the ground from a -1 to a 0. And that led to the problem.
Half a day.
At least It's not as bad as the one time I spend about as much time looking through some code only to find out I used = instead of ==.
the ideas are flowing, oh shit.
I'm making an RPG full of lesbian anime girls and nobody will be able to stop me.

PROGRESS: Tweaked/fixed a lot of really small things today, but because a lot of them involve ~1-2 frame changes to things or they're hard to record in a new webm, have the most recent webm I've made instead.
-Mashing prompts can now be completed with the left/right punch buttons in addition to the left/right dodge buttons
-Fixed a number of bugs where player states were displaying the wrong animation or frame for 1 frame after changing states
-Fixed the player having 1 frame of invulnerability for some reason during startup of either of the heavy attacks
-Fixed the enemy having full invulnerability for 12 frames during startup of their left/right hook attacks
-Whiffing with a heavy attack no longer causes a really long punch delay since the heavy attack animations are already super long
-Damage enemy takes during a number of enemy states increased

Have you considered making it so the "dimension swap" instead makes all dimension-platforms swap between having collision/being visible, rather than teleporting the player?
It might be easier to make levels the way you want them that way.

where i can find the complete pc98 color palette?
Last batch of basic enemies. They just wander but suck things into them for heavier damage than things like gun enemies.

Wouldn't it depend on which PC-98 model you want? Wikipedia says that one of them had 4096 colors, so it must have been 12-bit color unless they had an alpha channel.

>>187324252
I'd use matlab to create color lists sorted by number of pixels and have it run every frame.
But i think you'd be better off picking the colors you like manually.
from now on, you may only post in /agdg/ if you have progress

How do your jams work like the one in the OP? The mecha one.
Seems like there are only 5 days left, but it looks fun.

There's a couple small, barely noticeable fixes too, namely not being able to fly at ludicrous speed with the dash mechanic.I hate that there's a mecha jam,

Mechanoids are also beings from Artifictial Intelligence Machines video game series where mechminds are ball shaped indestructible computers, which are being bred to achieve some sort of general intelligence. These mechminds move, fight and sense through a mech. If they want, they can come out of their mech, buy a new one and ride around in that.
Mechmind inside a mech is termed as mechanoid. The point of the game is win the evolutionary race and become the apex mechanoid.

If something is basic (ie. press X to jump), just write it on screen near the place you jump at.
If something is more complex, have a random npc showcase it.
I'm showing all the 'hidden' mechanics in my game by having the enemy use them around the time they become available.
Making a sprite for my main character sucked up all the energy I had left. And I've only done the head. Christ.

My favorite tutorials are for the game to just blast through everything bluntly and then to actually start the game proper, I don't want a boring 30 minute section where you secretly teach me that fire hurts.
The sneaky teaching in HL2 is good, but that's stuff deeper than just keybinds.

Also, I'm writing this primarily in SDL in C++ w/ hardware acceleration but I'm doing it on the side in canvas for fun. I'm not much of a gamer or game designer, but I like to program. I tend to like to do everything from the ground up.
>>187332084
How do you hardware accelerate? Do you use SDL draw functions? Why not OpenGL?
>>187332608

Idea guys, assemble!
I don't really want to make the combat the selling point of my_game(tm). I have decided that there will be a little combat, but its somewhere around 8th or 9th in the list of priority. So, it will probably be a small scope thing.
The game itself will be kinda like one of those Warcraft custom scenarios. You know, the kind of scenarios where the map contains quests and a sort of a story and the player is limited to a few people and cannot train units.
From another angle - its something close to a space trading sim. Only that it takes place on ground. Trading, interacting with others, doing tasks for SUPER and inter-clan politics are the juice.
>RTS style combat which will come down to who has more HP or DPS(due to small scope of combat)
>instant and weighted random outcome battles
>battles are simulated with mini interactive fiction sequances(sequences are situation where action is chosen, which leads to another situation - situations are pulled randomly from a pool of possible situations weighed by previous actions and other stuff)
>menu based turn based combat
>some sort of convoluted battle resolution simulation which takes some time to resolve(like the Europa Universalis or Crusader Kings)
>???
which one? do you have any better ideas?
Since Godot has so few tutorials for beginners, should I look at Gamemaker/Unity ones?
>>187332876
OpenGL before 3.0 is really straightforward. But whatever floats your bloat.
OpenGL 1.1 is the boss:
http://www.glprogramming.com/red/
>>187331419
Use proper 45 degree lines for the wall intersections at the corners
>>187330534
This looks really good!
>>187329996
I use SFML because it is a C++ library and I like how it handles events.
SDL might be better if you like the C way of doing things more and SFML does weird stuff if you try to use it with OpenGL drawing.
I haven't tried how SDL works with manual OpenGL drawing though.
If you just want to do 2d stuff I recommend SFML though.
what's the simplest finite state machine implementation? i need something quick

Creating 3D assets I mean (modeling, rigging, etc). I wouldn't mind learning OpenGL but not interested in it right now, I'm familiar with existing engines so I'll just be using what I know as I want to get a game out soon, but I may create my own someday for fun.

The game turns into a bad movie?
>The madmen at Epic actually implemented A* pathfinding in a blueprint
>>187338889
I did my A* pathfinding in blueprints because the default UE4 pathfinding doesn't work in a 3D volume.
As it is right now I don't think it has bugs anymore but we'll see on demo day.
>>187333218
I don't know what the last one means, but all of those sound like bad ideas except the turn based combat, which is likely also bad if you don't have an interesting battle mechanism in mind. If you're going to include combat it needs to be not just functional, but functional as a game. That means there needs to be a player skill element and challenges to test that skill, where the player is in control of the outcome. Don't just do "3 is more than 2 so 3 wins" or some random dice rolls.
I would approach the combat aspect as a "minigame." You don't need to call it a minigame in the game but just a way to think about designing it. It needs to be a fully self-contained game, no matter how simple, not just meaningless actions that busy the player and make it look like something is happening.
Nodev here. Do you guys think I would help your games if I made a review blog and talked about them?
How do I wrap my roguelike up in a good story? I've never written stories before. But I feel like the game would benefit from some kind of story.
>>187338303

>>187339668
>>187339812
It's not overly complex, it's just an A* implementation but with 3D vectors instead of 2D. The rest of the AI behavior just works on a Direct/Indirect bool so if the AI has the player in sight it skips the whole pathfinding logic.
So compared to the default UE4 pathfinding it's lacking a lot of the fancy options, like all the information you get on a path, and it's a lot more simple since it only goes from point to point instead of properly navigating an area, but it works for what I need.
/agdg/ WISHES it could just make game this fast
>>187339243
There's a free 3D pathfinding thing on the marketplace if you find any issues, it seems pretty good.
>>187340725
Im marginally sure if you dedicate every waking hour to deving you can make something fairly decent in 6 months.
But since we are on agdg and by extension on firechins, we just like dont.

Too late. Besides I like doing things myself, I can modify them more easily and I get to brag to qt nerd grills.
>>187341682
It's a lot bigger than the one I did, even if I didn't have any functions inside of it (iirc there's only one which is the function to get the points accessible from the point we're scoring). Sounds like their implementation is a lot more modular/procedural, mine just loops through hand placed points.
It also seems a lot less wonky but it's my first time implementing pathfinding so I have an excuse.

>>187349824
I didn't design zelda buddy, take it with the creators.
>>187349676
I guess just start throwing in all the average melee combat stuff then add some mobs. Not being stuck in place while you attack, just because zelda did it doesn't mean you have to.
Combos, dashes, parries. Like the continual colour shift, very disco.
>>187349917
I swear the attack in Zelda was much quicker than that
>>187349917

I don't know your game so I could just be talking out of your ass, but generally states aren't good for representing non-discrete effects or you end up with shit like WALKING_WITH_GUN_NOT_GROUNDED

Hey agdg you like my particle effect juice. Normies do why don't you?
>>187354943
>>187355308
that doesn't really solve the issue though, you're just deferring the problem because now your walking state has to keep track of the player's weapon state independently and react accordingly, so you're turning every movement state into a bunch of conditionals on the weapon state and it gets even messier
>>187355685
I haven't, but my first thought's that it might backfire if you get in super close to a boss to do hot spread shot shotgun quick kill strats. I'll experiment with it a little though, try to keep it subtle like 2hu does.

Honestly? Maybe. Not that scene, but the mirrors themselves should work well in games that have quality settings that your system can handle.
>>187360680
Make mecha and/or robots. They're easy to make like other inorganic things. Plus since they're robots you can usually get away with slightly awkward animations, since no one is judging them the same as they do organic creatures.
Making your game world have no humans at all anymore and robots have become the dominant "species" would be interesting.

Progress: I still need to make a more appropriate swoosh trail, the fire effects on the weapon itself are missing in the 2nd and 3rd pounds of the combo, and the 3rd one should probably have a larger variation of the impact effects, but I now got it triggering at the right moment in the attack. What's more, this is pooled, so it reuses previously instanced particle effects each time you do the attack.

reminder that you wont be able to live the wagie lifestyle on game profits. kill off your wagie tendencies, tighten that belt and just maybe your finished game will make enough money for you to continue your tightbelt lifestyle to finish another game.
if "living the dream" isnt "making games and living on a shoestring budget" turn back now.

How do I make a good blade spark particle effect? What does it need?
Tell me about blender.
What are its strengths and limitations?
Should I just pirate Maya, export to fbx and import to Blender?
I want to make some uncomplicated shapes but UE4 wasn't designed for that.
>>187372173
Thanks for the realistic advice.
My desire is to make this game and make it fun, not necessarily a monetary success.
I'm going to move into a cheap place to focus and maintain my living for at least a year.
As you said, it's not gonna be easy, but I believe I will enjoy the ride.
>>187372173

>>187372661
>export to fbx and import to Blender?
for what purpose?
>>187372661
You can do whatever you want in Blender. It just depends on your skill.
I haven't used any other modelling packages tother than Blender but from what I've heard Maya is a lot user friendlier than Blender. Though Blender should be fairly decent once you're familiar with most of the shortcuts.
>examining the geometry of pixel circles instead of deving
>>187372874
I've heard that one can trace which program created the asset, but that process should remove any trace.
Not sure, though.
>>187372894
I see. I just don't want to start learning a program and end up having to switch.
Also, I don't understand the phases of 3D creation. There's modelling, laying the textures and materials, rendering... Can someone explain it or point to sources on how to start?
>>187372206
I can only code.
I'm looking for an artist to either commission or get on board with me.
I'm trying to make the game not very art-reliant or -heavy. Still, would love to have a good artist.
>>187372661
>What are its strengths and limitations?
Strengths are that it's pretty capable software, no animation limitations and you can pump out base-meshes easy.
Limitations, well the UV maps will straight up break if you make any alterations to the mesh, it's not straight compatible with a lot of mainstream software without some workarounds (usually just exporting the model upsidedown or something) and the documentation regarding the more niche or obscure features just plain sucks.
Also not a fan of how the sculpting works, but that's a personal thing.
I would say if you're willing to pirate more mainstream software, just do that, but if you want to use Blender or whatever you won't really regret it.

i was you 3 years ago, i left my job with some savings cause i wanted to make games.
first two years i released whatever, did a few mobile games and some contracts, it wasn't enough to live off of and dipped into savings a lot.
around 1 year in i realized 1MA is the only way if i was serious and started learning to draw, took a bunch of classes and drew everyday. did 3D modeling too.
today i'm making a bigger game, it's getting pre-orders and i think i'll be ok.
had it not been for my savings i wouldn't be able to do this, i live frugally as hell and have no one in my life so it's possible. if you're a normie with a girlfriend or people that have expectations of you, then it's over before it even started. gamedev is not a luxurious life unless by some miracle you're the next undertale.

We need audience and creators who are willing to take sacrifice and experience/make new content to push the boundaries of games. Sure refining what we already have done is good but it's not a progression compared to making an experimental game and understanding the flaws and how to get around it / seeing how to replicate the positive gameplay or design in other context. who woulda thunk undertale would do so well with boring and overused 8bit graphics?

Unless that's a 2.0 thing, you are incorrect.

I think I'm going to put this on hold and make hyperbolic wings.io. I figured out today that there was a hyperbolic projection that would work for wings.io that wouldn't seem to warp when the camera moved. Instead it would only need to scale and translate the screen. It's a lot simpler to do for a couple reasons, and I think I should be able to finish it before I could finish this.

Should I aim to take this game to Demo Day? Right now it only works for couch multiplayer and against AI (which as you can see doesn't really work well).
Until I get my codebro to adapt this to online multiplayer, all I can add is a mode/player selection screen. There's also a bug that I can't reproduce and even when I run into it I can't explain it. I'm still looking into it but it's very frustrating.
>>187379851
clearly.
>>187379870
You should make the straight line go faster and add some kind of visual effect when they turn.
The marking of the square should be faster when there are lots of them and maybe add another visual effect when putting a cross

A-ano, i'm starting to suspect you actually don't know how to make a game.
>>187380026
I'm not sure what visual effect would work for the line turning, for now I added a small delay so when I do add the visual effect it will fit there.
I'm trying to work out the speed change of the square marking, but for now I added a small animation and I think it does indeed look much better like this.
Thanks for the feedback.
>>187380804
aim is a verb
you cannot control a verb
you are retarded
>>187380934
Yeah that's nicer, also, I think a good way to fill up the squares would be this:
always take 1 second to fill all the squares, so if there are many squares they'll fill up faster than is there are only 2 or 3
>>187374984
It's such classic agdg that people who haven't touched a pencil since 5th grade art class will try to say this work isn't good.
>>187381024
That was actually pretty much how I was going to do it but that would mean that
>if there are very few squares to mark, they will be marked incredibly slowly
>if there are a fuckton, they'll be marked way too fast
So I have to balance the minimum and maximum speed at which the squares will be marked. I think it also has more impact (on the other players) if a lot of squares being marked takes a bit more time. Anyway, I'll keep working on this aspect.
>>187381190
Maybe use a log function or something like that to get the fill time

>>187382273
if you know how much time it takes to do a jump, and the distance, do Coroutine + Vector3.Lerp w/ AnimationCurve. 2 lerps for going up (ease out) and going down (ease in).
learn to coroutine with animationcurves. it will make your game much juicier.
use this preset as a starting point and edit / add to suit your needs.

the skybox is really disorientating
>>187384540
That's not a box. The Euclidean shape isn't too important, I think I gave them all the same displacement from the camera plane. The sky is drawn from many vertices placed with the intention of giving little distortion throughout. It represents the projection of an equidistant surface to the ground that is very far away.
>>187384923

Doesn't change the fact that it's disorientating

I can and will give the players the option to replace the sky and ground with solid colors, but it isn't possible to prevent the distortion of shapes when projecting hyperbolic space to euclidean space.

do you interact with that thing in any way? the way it comes into the foreground kind of suggests that you can but it looks like you cant, its sending mixed messages
myuglyGUI works well.
I'm using SFGUI default style that's why it's ugly but you can create your own style easily so I'll get on that later.
I'm very satisfied with the non-spaghetti code I've written to do this
>>187386161
Not the dev but I think it's a gateway to a level
Been doing mostly back-end stuff to do with missions, combat and navigation. I did receive the assets for the character generator, which I can finally start work on tomorrow. The generator allows players to create character portraits, which will appear in random story events and missions.
I hope to expand on the system in the future with different uniforms and so on as the game progresses. Here are some examples of portraits players can create.
Interesting little side thing I came up with in the game. As players rank up, their rank appears on their character portrait (ensign, lieutenant, commander, captain etc.) Players also get older as the game progresses. At rank 40, 80 and 120 their character portraits look older (lines, wrinkles, bags under the eyes). This is all represented in their character portrait.
Player's names will also be imprinted on the name badge and their ship insignia (that they create) will be imprinted on the hat and uniform.

It's a portal that gets unlocked. When player goes near and jumps its gonna scale up and then shrink, eating the world up except the player. The outer cube will erase the screen to a solid color. Kinda like the screen from super mario world after you beat a level.
I want it to be impactful with screen shakes and screen flash.
Any anons know any good examples for portal / teleportation?

My own. I'm using SFML and the GUI is a library called SFGUI. And yeah I think the guy that made it was inspired my classic valve GUI style.
I'm not planing on keeping it looking like that tho.

Is it ok to not really add anything new and innovative in your game, mechanically-wise?
>>187387396
Sure, if you're just practicing do whatever.
If it's a full project, it's not a full project because you're on /agdg/. Go nuts.
>>187387396
if you don't want anyone to play it it's fine
the days of making generic rpg/platformer #1042 and selling it is over
Where's the best place to learn art? All I know is that I should avoid /ic/ unless I want to get memed
Reworked the robot's ability to move around obstacles to shoot you. The problem before was actually that they were too fast. . . and they jumped off cliffs a lot.
Now they have pauses between actions and don't kill themselves. The cars trip them up a bit so maybe I'll make them destructible or something.
And got my spawn tower working.
I've started to learn the basics of setting up the game play. Before I go any further I want to know which works better in terms of game play for rogue likes.
side scroller, or top down?
I also want to put into consideration which perspective is easier to make art assets for.
>>187387236
You create species by defining the "build order" of the organelles. You can choose to develop certain features or not. You can also modify the behavior of the cell at any point.
What are the best looking 1MA games?
>>187387637
/ic/ is like /agdg/
you're supposed to take everything you can get from their sticky and get the fuck out of there if you're looking to actually learn something
>>187387493
>>187387535
But there are many games which are not really innovative, but still are amazing. They just do things slightly different and create different gameplay by mixing already existing things.
Also, on a sidenote: Can anyone here tell me how to do controlls for an arcade stick in Unity? I know how to do keyboard and pad, but can't find anything about arcade stick.
What are some ways I can create barriers in my flight game that aren't invisible walls?
I was considering making the world small enough so that there'd be no ending and you'd simply end up back where you started if you flew in one direction.
The other option is to have overpowered anti-air cannons that shoot you down if you stay in their range too long.
>>187387775
>best
>>187387923
I like the second option. It would also be easier to make than the first.
>>187387923
for a mission-based flight sim simply failing the mission once you get far enough is fine.
>>187387923
You could do something stupid.
Like if they stay out of bounds, the plane just leaves and you fail the mission for going AWOL.

>>187387923
I agree with >>187388086
I don't know why it's necessary to destroy the player when you can just fail them. Looping world sounds difficult and exploitable.
>>187388245
>>187388086
>>187388115
It's not mission based. You fail when your plane is destroyed.
I want to make a game that is essentially just an RPG-style interactive story. No combat, just puzzles and text. Something along the lines of OneShot. The problem, of course, is that I have no talent for art, music, or programming. Is RPG Maker MV worth the money? Has anyone here used it? I'm curious how extensive/varied their pre-made assets are, since I would have to rely on them almost entirely.
>>187387937
Even if everything is shit, there can still be a shining turd
>>187389461
I would advise learning how to art, music, or program before relying on premade assets and visual code to carrying your game.
And no, RPG Maker has only ever frustrated me to kingdom fuck. It's good if you want to make an RPG Maker game.
>>187388197
It has very poor art, but it will be free.
>>187389461
OneShot was been made in RPGMaker, so it's certainly possible.
I'm making a Travian RPGMaker gamer just to relax for example.

That's pretty basic for pretty much anything you do. That's 3 hours a day for a year. That's a pretty low bar when it comes to acquiring new skills.
Now sure, you could just start making games immediately, instead of learning the needed skills (programming) first, but then you'll just make suboptimal progress, and in the end your game will have taken a longer time to create and be of lesser quality, than if you would have learned the skills properly.
I think I've spent about 2000h honing my coding skills, and I've only just lately started to feel like I'm truly at a point where I could say I know how to properly make a proper game.
Could I have made games over a year ago? Could I have made them from the start? Sure. But they would've been objectively shittier than what I'm able to do now.
And for me, knowing that I've actually honed my skills, instead of just thrown shit together, is definitely a large (if not the main) part of why I'm even interested in dev.

variable = (boolean expression) ? 1 : 2;
if the expression is true, it assigns the left of the colon, 1 in this case.
if false, assigns one on the right, 2.
since suitindex is gonna be only 0,1,2, or 3, just see if its less than 2 (if its red). if its not red, then its black automatically so we can apply that logic as
suitindex less than 2 = red
if not = black
>>187393267
post your game
>>187393048
you use them to avoid comparing strings, since a typo anywhere is hard to detect, it's already indexed without having to do if (suitIndex == 0) and i think it's also less computationally expensive?
What >>187392879 wrote is a ternary.
Set the color in the same fashion as an if:
(suitIndex<2):
true: first option, red
false: seond option, black

>>187393576
No, I don't. If anything, they've gotten lower. Look at the amount of indie pixelshit there is now compared to ten years ago. People only expect great graphics from AAA developers. An indie dev can make a game that looks like absolute trash and still find a wide market. What carried KoL, WoL, and Undertale wasn't the strength of the art, but the strength of the writing, particular for the former two.
>>187393741
>Look at the amount of indie pixelshit there is now compared to ten years ago
the quality of the pixel art is much higher than in the past
something like VVVVVV would be laughed at if you released it these days
>>187391353
>not making completely different poses / head positions per mood
>>187393476
this
just because it looks crude to you doesn't mean that thoughtful deliberate design went into it. high contrast colors, archetype choices, respecting pixel sizes, etc. if someone was a bad artist, the wouldnt be able to understand why undertale feels right.
>>187393267
>>187393576
You already lost your main point, are you now arguing for the sake of arguing?
>>187393487
Post your art.
>>187393172
Undertale has a simple and easy style, but it's in no way bad. It also already had the homestuck audience following it.
>>187393267
You don't need AAA photorealism, you just need to have something coherent. Not that it's easy.
In Godot can I batch draw calls somehow? Like, say, make one node and all of its children just one draw call instead of 5
>>187393858
Compare something like VVVVVV (2010) or Stardew Valley (2016), both commercially successful and critically acclaimed games, to Metal Slug (1996) and tell me again that pixel art has gotten better.
Question, I was planning on using Unity (as I'm pretty familiar with it ) to create a lobby style isometric lobby style dungeon explorer, but someone said it would be better to use Unreal (and more profitable since some companies are interested on using it). I'm kinda out of the loop on all this, what are actually the good points of using Unreal instead? From what he told me it had better graphics and more room for growth, but I really don't know if that is really something a small scope project should focus on
>>187393858
standards increased above vvvvvv level in the 80's
