Going alright
Implemented a quick item pick up thing. You can pick shit up and physically hold it.
I'm worried about how I'll do this with various types/shapes of items and item-specific animations. The fire extinguisher works alright with this "holding" pose when I just place it relative to the hand bone properly.
But I feel like shit is going to get complex and painful when I introduce more types of items, and multiple actions to perform with each item. Trying to think of a good way to sort of generalize it.

>>343131010

Any sort of blood sucker. Bats, ticks, leeches, mites etc. Make them numerous and make them drain hp or mp or both.

>unless there exists sowftware which can make a metal gear solid ghost babel clone with little to no manual coding on my part
Game Maker, dude. Has a pretty simple drag-and-drop interface for object behaviour, there IS programming in Game Maker and I'd 110% recommend learning a language anyway, but if you really wanted to you could probably make a game in GM without a single line of your own code. I know I sure as shit did it back when I was 12 or 13.

Extremely high defense and temporary immunity to damage. Throw it in a pack of normal enemies and give it some healing abilities.

In the last thread I told you I was pleased you recognized the perils of over-engineering. How complex is this game really supposed to be for a scrolling shooter? The "meat of the gameplay" shouldn't take too long to flesh out.

>How complex is this game really supposed to be for a scrolling shooter? The "meat of the gameplay" shouldn't take too long to flesh out
Somewhere between Ikaruga and the Parodius series, I guess? Probably hard to gauge that from the pictures I've shown off so far since they've mostly been specifically picked empty area shots to show pixel art, but that's the end goal. I myself have ended up blowing a whole lot of time on making editor extensions for Unity and trying (and failing) to make a suitable touch-based shmup control scheme whilst the other two programmers have carried the gameplay a bit.

We have made a lot more progress recently though since we came to the realization that we shouldn't fall into the trap of needless over-optimization, tool creation and general fiddling until later on in the project when we can afford to.

>>343133959
>>343133620

I second not completely redoing the graphics. Some additional level objects/details would be nice but the aesthetic works quite well for what it is. Obviously I can see some of the enemies/certain frames are incomplete but the general design is okay. I think it would be something of a loss if you tried to go for an imitation-Paper Mario look.

>>343133517

>>343133995

I also think you should know exactly (or close to exactly) how you want the game to play. With that in mind you can design exactly the tools you need to achieve that end. Over-engineering results from a lack of direction.

If I were going to make a scrolling shooter I'd obviously start with scrolling backgrounds, bullet firing, moving enemies, and collision checks. Then I would move on to skeletal structures for multi-part enemies, then some of that camera stuff you were working on, checkpoints or mid-level events, etc.

I would actually say general fiddling is okay, but engineering tools without knowing how they're going to be used is a problem.

Not all elements are equally important, but some of them can be more important than the rest depending on the game. Regardless of that, they're all meaningful and they all contribute to the overall quality.

Enemies that can steal your good health items but only drop shitty ones on death.

Enemies that explode upon death, causing massive damage to everyone.

Enemies that cause a confusion status. A confused ally will sometimes do a random action to a random entity (party members and enemy alike) instead of the action you ordered them to do. This includes using consumable items like revive and health potions on enemies, or throwing its strongest spell on allies. The confusion status does not dissipate after the battle ends. While confused, your movements on the overworld will be randomly randomized (meaning that at random, "up" can become "right" while "right" becomes "down", "down" "left" and "left" "up", just set up your algorithm so all buttons stay mapped to SOMETHING and don't just disappear)

Enemies that explode upon death AND can heal their allies.

Basically: play Earthbound.

>>343140330
Like >>343140491 said it depends on the genre, but if you have to choose I'd say gameplay. Great gameplay can save shitty/nonresistant story, but few want to slog through shit gameplay for a great story. And remember that good characters factor in as well. You can tell a great story that no one likes because everyone involves is a jackass.

I remember once when I was grinding for the sword of kings I had Poo transform into an Atomic Power Robo, and then had Paula pray, which confused all of my party and every enemy, so the enemy Power Robo was healing my party and Poo was healing the enemies. It took like 10 minutes to end the battle because nothing could fucking die.

>Try thinner outlines, your style could work without them but thinner outlines gives more room for the colors.
>Try colored outlines
>Try a bit more complex shading, if you feel like cheating you can use image filters and layer opacity to mimic the effects.

>>343141062
Oh, also: there is no item that removes confusion, and the healing spell that does remove it is one of the last you learn, meaning that for most of the game, you'll have to awkwardly fight the randomized controls to make your way to a town's healer if you ever get confused. Also weak but fast enemies that can call other enemies and always come in hordes.

I don't like to think of them as necessarily separate.
If you like to make games to tell a story, you should like to do it through the unique ways in which games can tell a story: gameplay.
To me, making a distinction between story and gameplay, having to choose prioritizing one over the other, is like choosing vocabulary and sentence structure over plot and characters when writing a novel. You don't choose one over the other, the former is what makes up and expresses the latter.

Teach me how to create pixel art Anons.

Medusa Mole Men that can only be hit with earth based spells and attack solely by petrifying members of your party.

The only character that learns earth spells naturally is the healer ( Who the player will likely have specced into healing spells rather then damage. )

If a character is petrified they need a healer to cure them, there is also only one healer in the game.

I feel ya, man. The best advice I can give is just to try powering through. Work on it with anger, just force yourself to work on it. But the opposite may be better if you've already been working nonstop: Stop working and let yourself detox for a few days.
Whatever you decide to do, it seems that you've already got the majority of the game finished. So try not to stress out, finish what needs to be finish, and polish everything that can be. You're making a fun game to play, don't let it stress you like a job.

Hilarious, but this won't be accepted.

Whatever happened to the Anon who was designing Harm World or whatever it was called with the Inventory Tetris skills thing?

Literally the first thing resembling a game I've tried to make. I started out of frustration with the breakout clone bundled with Rockbox. Progress is very, very slow and I don't ever expect it to be fun or impressive, but at least I'll have learned all about GTK+ in the process

Going with unreal actually, don't give a shit on how long it takes, shit's gonna look good, I'm using unity to make a prototype but that's it.

>>343144667
Do it fgt, contributing to something more than yourself is an amazing feeling.

>>343144123
Yeah I agree, hence "It's not gonna change my mind", I was just interested in how people feel about it.

An enemy that hits you, and disables the target it hit for one turn.
And can hit the same person turn after turn.

For what reason? I do not mention or use Trump's direct image. As far as this game goes, it's just a very patriotic business man holding a gun fighting minorities. If there's a game about a dude with long hair literally reenacting US mass shootings, I don't know why this wouldn't pass.

Sure I'm dropping all the minority related stereotypes but that's just part of the whole satire thing. My next thing to do on the list is to add chinese that dig holes behind the wall and you have to shoot a brick on it to fill the whole or else chinese people come out of it.

Literally retarded

I wish you luck with your game mate.

>>343142236

I regret making this

>>343144649
It sounds like you are in the "endless planning" stage. Where's the actual game? You make vague references to gameplay in that video, yet spend far more time talking about padding.

Have you tried to program any aspect of your game yet?

>>343145260
Replace the planes with trucks that explode into tacos. That's all you gotta do. They can still fly.

I got ideas for both a 2D platformer/top down, and a 3D arena-type game.
I haven't touched game development in about 2 years, should I just say fuck it and create the ideas I have in mind?

>>343143592
anyone else get a 2D sidescrolling Link to the past vibe from this?

>>343144792
>>343144856
>>343145521

Yes, of course I've made actual gameplay. So far PHYSISIUM is about 50% finished in Unreal.

>should I just say fuck it and create the ideas I have in mind?

No, you should continue rationalizing not doing anything.

Any good programs? Any good tips?

>>343130810
Is this meant to be some sort of rpg with different character class paths or something?

>>343145680

Let's see a screenshot.

>>343145741

Keep drawing the object again and again until it looks right. Set up a limited color palette. Consider the direction of the light source.

it's only up to you if you want to throw away the chance to have fun and learn things.
of course, don't you dare say 'i'll start tomorrow', because you and i know that won't happen.
