>>69692724
Duly noted.

Do you think the problem is he doesn't ease into it smoothly enough, or the crouch at the very start of the swing itself needs to be in farther (i.e. exaggerate the whole thing)?

Both are simple fixes, just curious what looks off to your eye.

>>69692673
Would that be a challenge to code? I figure enemies will already have to have part-specific hitboxes for things like headshots so I imagine the damage detection stuff would all be there, but I don't know how hard dismemberment would be to program from an animation standpoint (do you have to swap out the normal model for the dismembered one on the fly and spawn a physics-affected limb?) and what kind of effect it would have on performance.

It might be the kind of thing I look at doing for larger enemies, probably not for grunts.

And anyway the attack you're seeing wouldn't dismember. It's meant to put the enemy into a ragdoll state and launch them like a projectile (which will cause secondary damage to other enemies).

Finally we get to use this OP.

>>69693198
I think it's the exaggeration; it's always better to exaggerate a little when you're animating to really sell the movement.

>>69692914
Who gives a fuck how much "experience" he has when all he was able to make was Braid, a.k.a. a piece of total garbage?

>>69692914
Taking 12 years to make something that average is...well...not something to brag about.

Braid's not a bad game, but the game should be easily made by anyone with around 2 years of game dev experience. He didn't even make the art, so his accomplishment is even less impressive.

2MB, 1200x800px

Deeply dull progress is still progress.
Inspection windows generated for any entity by examining its constituent components and asking them for some text. If it finds a component giving world-position it draws an arrow pointing to that position.
If you click "inspect" near several entities it pops up a list of all their identifiers and you pick which one to inspect.
Also a bunch of behind the scenes stuff tidying up the entity system, model loading and stuff.

>>69692914
I know it's fun times to be angry at successful people, but I don't think his point was meant to be "fuk u scrubs git gud."
Rather he's highlighting how the perception of an indie success is often very far from the reality. No one had heard of him before Braid, so to the general public this guy just appeared with a game, released it and bought a Tesla Roadster. Which gives the impression that success comes rapidly. Similarly, Notch had been making shit games in Java for ages before Minecraft, but all that the world sees is this game and its creator appearing from nothing.

It's a message of hope for those that have been making games and are not multimillionaires: It usually takes time, and it taking a while for you doesn't mean that you suck and it doesn't mean that you can never get success.

It's also a message of patience. Lot of people throwing out their first GameMaker shit, expecting it to be the next Spelunky, then complaining on the internet about it getting no media attention.

Braid is only known because it came out at the right time. It was a time before the average normalfag knew that indie devs could make gimmicky platformers for Xbox. Braid would be rotting in greenlight hell if it was released in 2014.

>>69694428
Yes. I made sure I had it added so I won't have to deal with implementing it in the middle of working with entities.

>>69694117
He's talking about people who have put in 2-4 years of work on their overall experience as game developers, want their games to make money and then complain when they don't.

>>69694360
Topright and bottomleft could use different colors. Something to differentiate from the foreground more. I think the other two are fine. Bottom right is the best.

Do you guys think I could make a lot of money easily by making a ridiculous simulation game with awkward control and having Pewdiepie's fanbase as my target audience?

Good advice, taken to heart.

Feedback?

>19:26 - hopoo entered chat.

>>69694498
It's probably true that at that time being an "indie developer" (the name didn't really exist then) was more unusual and so drew more media attention.
But please keep in mind that the whole platformer-with-a-gimmick trend was started largely by people imitating Braid, so it's more than a little unfair to say that it would be lost in a sea of clones of itself. Like saying that if Doom came out after Hexen it wouldn't have been as popular.

>>69694705
Probably not a lot. Since Surgeon and especially Goat Simulator, you'd be competing with surprisingly high budget titles (which is to say, titles with any budget at all.) Games like the recent Air Control try to do the whole so-bad-it's-funny thing, but veer too far into just being shit.
Also you will actually go to actual hell.

>>69695026

>>69694996
It's not shitpostig because you disagree with me, the new recap is shit and I wouldn't want my game in a picture with loli rape game, wow so shitposting right...

>>69694783
I agree. Who of sound mind wants their game plastered all over the internet alongside detailed descriptions of lolidev making his child abuse simulator more realistic, with gems like 'fapped to lots of lolis'?

It's no wonder there are way less games are on the recap these days.

>>69695012
Yeah, that looks better! Him easing into it like that's a nice touch too

>>69695238
There's also a nice little 25-frame loopable at the end (which thankfully isn't super noticeable) so the charge-up can be held indefinitely.

>>69694920
>Also I'm not redtactics dev. Whatever happened to them?

All AGDG srpg devs are hunted by assassins hired by 2d waifuplatformer devs with their autism bucks.

>>69695238
>>69695319
Though I wonder if the crouch is too much. A charge attack doesn't always get released from the final state, hopefully the crouch in isn't so exaggerated that the swing looks shitty if it isn't fully wound up.

Maybe it'll be fast enough that you won't notice. Otherwise I'll need to implement some sort of dynamic tweening for the step-in of the swing.

The romance elements of Bioware games are by far the most popular and the focus of most of the fandom, correct?

Well, what if I made a game that was just that?

Basically a fully VA'd 3D dating simulator in a fantasy/scifi environment. Just Mass Effect with all the pretense of RPG elements being removed and just giving the fans what they really want: superficially interesting characters that they can talk to a dozen times and then have an awkward sex scene with.

Google "factory design pattern". Sounds exactly like what you want.

I know this will tickle people's autism bone but I wanted to know from the perspective of /agdg/ whether or not it is "worth" the time investment to learn C before C++ if one is assuredly going to eventually learn C++.

C++ is a superset of C. Once your learn C++ if you need to learn C it's pretty simple since you'll just have to keep a few of C's restrictions in mind but the rest is the same. Also I can't tell you the last time I coded in a C only environment.

Can someone give an example of a 2D game that uses a 3D world? Like, one where going upstairs is actually graphically placed over the downstairs- no map transition only fading away the top level and roof when on the bottom level, and fading away just the roof when on the top level. I don't want something where they have the two levels 'side-by-side', where the top level starts at the tile above the bottom level.
The only examples I can really think of are roguelikes, but even Stonesense has it to where you 'split' the world. I want everything between the player and the theoretical 'camera' to be cut, while any walls or structures behind him are visable.

It is, but I'd rather someone learn good OOP straight out the gate. Once you know OOP and C++ then going to C is just changing classes to structs, function pointers instead of inheritance, and defining all local variables at the top of functions.

Changed crafting system

Right now things cost both bone pieces and some rarer materials (don't know what its called yet, something like faith/bravery/spirit/whatever). Higher level summons need more faith to create, and higher level enemies drop more faith. You choose what you want to summon with the mouse wheel.

This fixes the problem that no matter how high level the enemy is, it just wouldn't make sense for it to drop more than a full skeleton of bones

There's a massive uphill battle for indies- the ones that actually wanna make a game aren't aggressive enough to actually get popular. It's like politics- if you're the kind of person who can claw your way to the top, you're the kind of person who shouldn't be there.

If someone's trying to try a 2D 'block' style game, they're pretty much forced to go isometric, right? The top-down camera from a non-isometric view simply can't show proper depth.
I found this image, and it looks like it does a really good job, but without the minor shadow and knowledge we can acquire from the edge of the screen being cut off, it would be very difficult to tell differences in height for side-by-side blocks, and impossible if there was a cliff where you'd need to see behind it.
I'm a bit at a loss. I'm just trying to wrap my head around how I want to do this weeks tinker project but I'm having trouble. I feel like isometric graphics wouldn't work well with what I'm trying to do.
I know some games, like RMXP, settle this by having a 'cliff' tile specifically to show that you're at the edge and if you keep going back (up?) you'll hit the edge of that particular structure. It's not a very good system.

Also, -block- games aren't restricted to isometrics, minecraft or cubeworld being prime example.
That being said, you -must- have some sort of shadows or at least clear indicators for heights. I don't really know how you would put it without shadow, but the RMX cliff example is a good one.

I have, and with how I'm currently building my 7D it would actually work, but I'm scared it will have some sort of gameplay implication I'm not realizing yet.

I was just fleshing out some ideas I got from the Micromachines - HotWheels games talk some of us had here and I thought that your models would actually fit perfectly in a chilling game like that.

While going through your assets one more time I noticed that everything is pretty much here for such a game already, at least when it comes to the graphics. I'll probably try this shit, sounds interesting.

You're right I wont, at least not until alpha. I already have enough assets done for an entire prototype.

>>69703276

I uh...

I just re-watched Die Hard yesterday and it popped into my mind.

Am I you?

How do you guys plan to combat piracy if you plan to sell assets/your game?

I was thinking about doing crowd funding. Similar to Kickstarter, You set a goal of 10k~20k, and don't release the full product until that goal is met. Once you reach the goal, it doesn't even matter if its pirated because the developer has already made their share.

This doesn't have to be a fixed rate either. The dev can allow for future 'donations' for any major upgrades/fixes that are planned.

Pros
-piracy doesnt impact sales
-the product is essential 'free' once goal is met

Cons
-If goal isnt met, you get $0.
-the money you make afterwards will be very little by comparison to the initial release

tl;dr
Don't price things at $5.
Follow kickstarters model

Thoughts?

It was a game about nazis in a submarine and I wanted a title reminiscent of old monster movies.

although gone homo 0.1 would've been a suitable title since it's all about learning that the captain likes it up the bum

This is AGDG, not PGDG.

>>69703352
I plan to not give a fuck about piracy. That's probably the best way to deal with it tbh

>>69703150
I keep hearing that "procedural generation" term and have no fucking idea what it means? Are you referring to the terrain not being planned out by the developer like in minecraft or that hardcoding will be involved?

Are you gonna tinker with the hexagonal blocks that I linked or those square ones? I feel the hexagonal ones would be really fucking interesting if they were rotated around... Oh fuck, now is NOT the time for me to get a new game idea.

>>69703352
>10-20k

Good luck, your game has to look pretty good to get 20k funding these days. I like the idea, though. As someone that may have pirated a lot as a teenager, I find it amusing that developers are using crowdfunding as a way of DRM these days.

>X Customers must pay in advance or you fags won't even have a game to pirate.

It's brilliant.

>>69703438
Then just make your game free in that case.

>>69703437
Im pretty sure most people here are aiming to release their games on steam, meaning this is very relevant.

>>69703352
The best way to deal with piracy is hilarious anti-piracy measures.
Like making the entire game way harder and then deleting your save right before the final boss

>>69703562
I prefer Serious Sam 3 DRM.

>>69703548
>Im pretty sure most people here are aiming to release their games on steam

Who died and made you king? Take it to PGDG.

>How do you guys plan to combat piracy
If a AAA game studio can't do it then neither can I.

I'll make a game as good as possible and then release it, or put it on some ad-support platform.

>>69703492
Procedural generation is largely a buzzword that means 'Random but not random'.
Yea, Minecraft is a good example. Some of the mods for terrains show that very complex and interesting terrain can be built with it. My ascii demos experimented with things like terrain, city generation, metallurgy, and material-based blocks and crafting. I want to bring these into snippets of graphical code to see what they'd look like as a 'game'.
I'm planning on tinkering with all of them, now. Just get a basic system built for all of them to see what I can do and what I like.
Khas Awesome Lighting Script has taught me that because a lot of people draw their shadows, dynamic lighting in 2D is harder than it should be.

>>69703724

It's more like
>my game is so shit nobody will think it's worth paying for
>how do I make money without actually making a good product first

>>69703625
AAA studios don't do anything out of the norm because they don't like taking risks or trying new methods. They also make too much money for piracy to be an issue.

This is where indie devs have an edge.
To try something different and be innovative.

>>69703643
I really think that minecraft stuff was as random as it could get. I heard the terrain was generated with fractals, and the developers couldn't really just pick a seed and say "I KNOW that at the coordinate 1834, 5623, 142 there will be a block of cobblestone"
I'm definitely feeling that buzzword part of it, I just want to understand it more. It's more buzzword than term than the word "cloud computing" to me.

>>69703774
>To try something different and be innovative.
Feel free to apply ultra draconian DRM to your indie title and watch it be broken in 20 minutes and or having your validation servers ddosed into oblivion.

Most indie devs just release a game that's worth buying and thus people buy it.

>>69703562
>not releasing a fake torrent that has an embedded bitcoin miner attached so you're making money off pirates

why do all of your games look like shit? just poking my head in.

>>69704073
What do you expect from amateurs?

>>69704073
Because we're mostly programmers and artists charge seven hundred dollars ($700.00) per sprite.

>>69703912
I'm being totally honest here, that game looks pretty bland and boring.

Idk why you would port it when it looks like its not even finished.

I mean wheres the bloom? Wheres the cash shop? Wheres the appeal?

>>69704073
My game doesn't look like anything

>>69703912
>minecraft stuff was as random as it could get.
Nah, it follows pretty solid rules. If it was true random you'd get a white noise of cobblestones and totally impassable terrain.

The game can of course use non-rigid block placing which guarantees that identical seeds still don't have identical terrain but some variations in block minerals. and whatnot even if the surface is the same.

> I just want to understand it more.
You define an algorithm that generates playable content but with enough variation to increase replayability and diversity. that's really all there is to it. You could also be lazy and procedurally generate fixed content because you can't bother with map design.

>>69703912
Random terrain would be unplayable. Remember, if it was 'random' then EVERY space would have an equal chance of having a block. That wouldn't make anything that looks like land- it would just be a cloud with no definable edges.
Procedural generation used random generation, but constricts it to make something playable.
The terrain generation with fractals is a new development where they've added fractals for smooth calculation of biome generation, it's not used so much in the actual heightmapping of it.
And with procedural generation, they DO know that (given a seed) the coordinate at 1834, 5623, 142 will be cobblestone. That's the point- given the same seed the same block will be the same every time! That's what makes it so valuable- they pump this single number (the seed) through a system that generates the world. Every block is a product of that seed being weighed against an algorithm (perlin noise then blotting then other shit) and giving every individual tile and what it should be.

Procedural generation has a lot of power. A lot of tards want to tap into that power without really understanding it.
Personally I just wanna tinker around and see if I can build something fun. I really like some of the shit I've been able to do so far, even if most of it doesn't have real game application.

>>69704073

I swear on me mum

>>69703961

you mean every single indie dev does this, because its not like they can do anything about it.

As opposed to purposely making shitty games? What's wrong with you?

>>69704073
>why do all of your games look like shit?

The good developers either left or only come here sparingly anymore

AGDG went from one of the best generals on /vg/ to practically the worst. I don't feel like popping my head into /ksg/ or /scg/ to confirm the ranking.

>>69704073
can you list what games here that look like shit to you? it would help me improve.

Guys how much money is Pixel worth?

I mean he made some cash from the cave story HD right?

>>69704326
>The good developers left
Even Leto isn't posting progress here anymore.

>>69704450
yes she does.

its just like once or twice a week. That's how it is for most people.

I only post my progress in steamchat now. It doesnt help me or my game by posting it here anymore.

i don't even know who those tripfags are.

I'm a pretty new poster to /agdg/

>>69704073
Because nobody on here wants to work together.

>>69704417
considering he released his game for free and hasnt made anything since, probably not much.

of course he gets royalties from any remakes, but I doubt its above 50k a year.

>>69704875

so keep your /a/ habits in /a/

people lurk for progress images, the more anime shitposting you do, the more garbage there is to filter through to get to the content progress.

>>69704794
Cleftknight still posts, he's just making another game. And chickendev's been posting a lot the past few days.
And wasn't watersauce banned?

>>69704794

He never said much to begin with. I've been here since 2012 and that much hasn't changed.
>>69704794

He posted yesterday (or the day before that).

>>69704794
Most of them are busy tumblr liking their progress ; which isn't a bad thing considering that all the feeback you get here is shitpost, bullying and angry bracket devs.

What's the point of a game engine? Can someone give me a couple valid points or reasons?

Pixel is literally my inspiration. Such a mysterious man and I bet he's plobably really cool.

I'm considering a tumblr now. I post my progress occasionally on Facebook, and it sometimes gets a few likes.
Would followers just kinda show up or how does it work?

It's pretty easy to make the thread insufferable for everyone (just look at artist vs programmer, guess who started that shit :^)) when people are posting obnoxious shit, doesn't have to be only anime
Don't bother telling them to stop postin x, just do your part.
