i've been working on a tilemap system for unity, since the free one is garbage and i'm not going to drop money on a paid one that might turn out to be garbage

i've never done this sort of thing before, so it's been slow going, but i think i'm finally over the hump - the system can support hundreds of thousands of onscreen tiles before performance starts getting concerning, and they can be painted up to around 200 at a time without visible chugging. there are a couple of optimization pressure points i can work at down the line to improve this further, but i can't image a scenario where i'd need more than a few hundred visible at once

but it's also taken like a month longer than i'd hoped, and i still haven't sorted how (or if) i plan to handle tilemap-based collision. still todo are a better set of tools with a better interface, and support for some sort of broader "tileset" concept than just a material palette

Redpill me on Unity, guys.

I want to make 3D models like Bravely Default, but I don't want to make the environments like that and want them to be PBR based environments, so I'm wondering if I can make the Bravely Default style look good with realistic lighting. I would just try the models in Unreal or Unity (diffuse only, PBR) but nobody has ripped them.

>>370705943
It wasn't made by jews so it's fine.

>>370705226
What's the game need for supporting 100k+ tiles on screen at once?

>>370705943
It's kind of shit.

It has a lot of limitations, and the only way to overcome them is to write C++ extensions blind (because no source access,) implment your own alternative in C#, wait for them to "fix" it (it takes them years to upgrade certain basic important aspects like input, which STILL is not beyond beta, while you can visibly see they have not done any meaningful work) or buy an asset on the asset store for 50 dollars that fixes it for you.

Honestly I wish I started my projects in Unreal at this point.

>>370706282
>>370706368
Is it good for relatively simple and lightweight 2D and 3D games?

>>370706528
Yep, its fine for small things

>>370706528
Define "good" and "lightweight." You can make any kind of game in it, but depending on the game you might have a better time just choosing something else.

You need to be specific.

it's actually really great - up until you want to do something in a way the designers don't expect you to, at which point you run into huge showstopping issues that take weeks to work around, and usually involve writing your own solutions to major systems

e.g. it's got a really nice pbr shader. oh wait you want anything else not contained in its shitty barebones shader library? ha ha time to learn glsl
the collision systems are nice and straightforward. but don't want full physics simulation? ha ha, too bad, get ready to hack your way around the system
don't even get me started on the serializer

the only meaningful alternative is unreal, though, which is painful 100% of the time, even though it's more pliable to being beaten into the shape you need. or writing your own engine but I am not remotely competent enough in graphics programming to try that

>>370705943

it sucks for doing anything new but great for copying things already done

Does anyone know any good blender tuts??
The interface is a nightmare ad I cold really use some hand holding on this one.

>>370706310
it's not so much needed for the game itself as for the editor. i want to be able to zoom out and see the entire layout of an area as i draw to it

also just generally speaking, i prefer having a robust, performant system to a hacky solution that just barely meets my immediate needs

>>370706528
If you're doing 3D-only, really just download UE instead. UE offers many things out of the package like shader customization with behavior trees (blueprints) that you have to buy as asset store products to replicate in Unity and these things offer superior graphical fidelity and customization in a form that is much more easily utilized by an amateur (i.e. not writing your own GLSL code).

I've heard a lot of people say that GameMaker is better for 2D as well, however I find that a bit hard to buy overall because most 2D games can imagine various aspects where you may wish to use some form of 3D function, and the one thing Unity excels at is a mix of 2D and 3D for various functions.

You can make "simple" / "lightweight" games in Unity EXTREMELY easily. (The same can be said for for UE / GM of course if you're using their blueprint functions).

>>370706840
>the collision systems are nice and straightforward. but don't want full physics simulation? ha ha, too bad, get ready to hack your way around the system
>tfw I have essentially written my own physics system at this point

>>370705943
Don't listen to >>370707012 and >>370707038
Unity get a bad reputation because it's usually the first game engine for many people so their first project isn't really optimized (and sometime it's just asset store shit)

Optimization is the key with Unity, that and making your own original content and not buy shit from the asset store.

>>370707114
I see, that sounds like it would be very helpful if you're designing large maps / entire world in one screen using the editor I suppose.

One of the things I struggled with was a method to display a huge amount of tile data actively in real-time. In the case of just displaying static tiles, it becomes a lot simpler, but huge issues arise for me with the "what if" situations of a tile changing in some manner and the methods for dealing with it (one solution would be event -> tile changed -> add to list of tile changes -> process only changed tiles to avoid iterating over 10000000 tiles checking for changes, etc). That along with some other issues like line of sight / fog of war and displaying such things without raping the cpu/gpu.

>>370707379
Optimization is key with any game, and Unity actively works against you to optimize anything.

Unity's rendering pipeline, until some time in the "near" future, is completely black boxed and you cannot customize it properly or skip parts of it without using extensive techniques that apply on a per object basis.

You cannot access any of the core C++ code with Unity.

The engine is not properly multi-threaded.

The mono version is very old with a bad GC.

The core API is not thread safe.

The reason Unity is bad is exactly because when you want to optimize something you quickly learn how terriblely the Unity dev's have done it, and how you cannot fix their mistakes unless you start from scratch. Not to mention half the tools, like the terrain tools, are trash and borderline unusable.

Out of the box Unreal has good terrain tools, a node shader editor, master material creator, Unreal is just miles ahead of Unity in a multitude of ways.

>>370706775
If it's 2D it would involve simple shapes and some text. Think Tetris.
3D would be simple not too detailed models with simple textures (I suck at graphics), so possibly more of a solid colours rather than detailed realistic textures. Think Sokoban in 3D or chess in 3D.

It's a lewd game that I'm actively working on, currently on it's third version. There are some bugs and it's still lacking that feeling of completeness in terms of gameplay IMO. I add content every update.

Describe your game and post your visuals son

>>370710916
My design doc for 2nd game, after first game was a giant tangled mess of amateur coding that eventually collapsed under its own weight and mystery, was about 15 pages of general concepts and plans, along with around 30 pages of describing how the code base will fit together and the extremely-rough pseudo-code of each core component. The final pre-coding part was a thought-map type visual of how all the code will link together.

After working on it for 11 months solo, I have a journal / changelog of about 380 pages. I tried using Trello for a while but it was a waste of time for solo work, so instead I wrote a keyword dictionary for my journal and thoroughly logged everything with dates.

>>370711612
take that 2D spray off and make something 3D that fits the universe

>>370712228
Do you mean the sprites? The game is in first person so it's HUD stuff, does it really look that off?

I don't mind the sprites either, they are pretty good. I saw on the screenshots 3d enemies you probably can dodge, but otherwise there is no way to dodge an encounter or did it bug out somehow? Anyways, good work.

Personally only porn games i´ve liked is Princess Trainer and it´s just completely 2D

so basically if you have a large anime girl spray on the screen non-stop it should either reflect what you´re doing and how she feels about it a lot and react to what you´re looking at or have some other smart animation mechanic so it doesnt feel like a steam avatar

>>370712051
That's about what we're doing; roughing out every concept in the doc, writing pseudo-code, blocking in what needs to be blocked in, and updating as we go. There's a section listing how many planned NPCs we have in the game, for example, and it lists how many models and textures we should be making so there's a bit of a roadmap to completion. I'm expecting it to jump to several hundred pages but we've roughed out a really sizable portion of the game already and are just about ready to jump into writing actual code.

>>370713184
The game uses random encounters, those 3D enemies act as hazards you need to avoid.

>>370722415
use Unity to start because it'll give you the 3D visual while being extremely simple to start working in


here's some conceptual ideas for handling what you want:

- you could represent the entire map as a collection of individual Tile / Square / Cube / Something classes that contains information for what the sides of each movable area looks like, what features/traps/etc it might have, which sides of the square are solid/air/walls/floor, if its occupied by something, and so on
- you could create the entire map out of cubes (think Minecraft if you need a mental visual of it), but what this really does is map out the standard dungeon crawler format, utilizing the above concept
- you could model the entire map in a 3D program and then align the model and your game data to correctly place objects that aren't part of the map mesh
- you could procedurally-generate the prior two points by generating/instantiating a collection of the mesh(s) at game initialization or when the map is actually loaded, either are more than fast enough

At the end of the day though, you need art or 3D models or both depending on how you use them. If you don't want to learn how to model or don't want to learn to make art / textures (materials), then stick with RPGMaker and use pre-made assets.

There's no way to get around the fact that you need visual representations of your data unless you literally use ascii and land yourself in 1985.

trying colors for the first levels of my game, which one looks better? http://www.strawpoll.me/12542888
be sure to let me know what you think in the thread too if you want

>>370732360
No, succubi are demons that change their shape to adapt to their current partner( victim). It is completely within reason to assume they could have a dick if they wanted one.

>>370732593
Oh, you're the guy with that starball game from last thread.

Did you ever play Runman: Race Around the World? Your game reminds me of that, what with the star and all.

Anyway, I think top's color scheme is better. Bottom is a little blinding.

>>370732593
top is better

>>370732360
More importantly, after dipping your toe into the panda, a wild penis appearing isn't really surprising. Sounds like it would be amusing for a few seconds and than ignored as a "twist".

Not saying it can't be part of the setting, just don't rely on that alone making it unique too much.

Don't worry, you'll learn to like it quickly even if it doesn't seem like it at first, it's actually fairly intuitive and very versatile. Just follow tuts and start with making meshes and then UV unwrapping and so on and you'll quickly get the hang of it.

3d modeling, animating, and sound design is hard work, so I've decided to just steal them from different places around the internet and forego selling the game. All I gotta do is a few texture edits, swap one model's head onto another's, download a couple of animations, copy a bit of code from here or there. I won't get anything done if I don't.

look at your sprites through grayscale, if it looks like your player character and other important sprites are clashing or blending into the background then you should adjust the color palette of your sprites.

I want to make a 2d beat em up. Would Gamemaker(Pretty much got everything in the old humble bundle) be good? Should I do unity instead? What's better if the only programming language i have some knowledge on is c++?

Staying up all night to work on my game and going to work in the morning. Planning on getting quite a lot done. Moving from GameMaker to Unity though is probably a good decision since I'm actually learning to code (which can help me get a different job).

Making a fighting game is shit tons of work though. Maybe I should just make a competitive puzzle game.

I don't know what variables you can define in RPG Maker, but it sounds like it's just a catch-all variable. You can do the same thing in all languages, but you might run into issues with more complex things. Just starting to get into programming, there's really 4 types of variables that are essential.

Int - An integer, like 1, 2, 3, etc. A variable defined with int will never have a decimal.
bool - boolean variable, 1 or 0, true or false.
float - floating number, basically an integer, but you can have decimals
string - used for alphabetical "strings" of text. This is where you'd store a variable called "My dick is huge"

Scripts are pretty much just functions that you run that you can pass variables through.

>>370741470
>Making a fighting game
don't do that

>>370744036
Any reason why besides it being very difficult?

>>370744186
It's not necessarily difficult just time consuming.

If you learn anything from bad fighting games like UMK3 and Daraki Tenshi, it's that designing a good fighting game takes time and a lot of patience.

>>370744186
I'm saying this assuming that you want to sell the game/make it gain traction/get known for it or whatever but fighting games are really fucking hard for this. Your animations need to be super fucking good, hitboxes needs to be good, gotta have at least some decent amount of balance, and basically as an indie fighter the absolute lowest standard to make it in the business is Skull Girls. If you're game isn't as polished in terms of visuals, animations, hitboxes, etc. as Skull Girls was you simply just aren't going to make it and you're going to waste a lot of time.

Not him but animating is a pain in the ass. The dope sheet setup needs an overhaul pretty bad. Can't easily delete actions. Separate objects don't get their own actions, it's just a big jumbled list of everything you've made. And clicking on object A while choosing an action for object B on accident would shift object A's position/rotation (happened to me a bunch anyways somehow).

Basically it just felt like a mess, I went back to sprites.

You think that because you think of games as you see them as they get released.

Most games have a shit ton of added features and content that aren't necessary for the MVP but still get put in. Sure it might make the game more enjoyable in the long run, give it more replay value or whatever but it's often stuff that isn't NEEDED.

A big part of gitting gud at game design is being able to recognize the core parts of your game and what can be removed without hurting the core experience.

And it's a big part of being able to scope your projects so that your development doesn't take years.

Specially if you are vegan

Toukiden kiwami 2 comes out on the 21. Well there goes dev for awhile.

My setting is fairly similar so I can use it as "research." Yeah...

And then you spend hours on font, positioning, and theme, only for it to all come crumbling down when you have to reprogram the whole thing in order for the UI to actually work.

Do yourself a favor and give your game atleast 30 minutes a day even if it's just you opening up the project and looking at it or playing it a bit.

The longer you go without touching the project the harder it is to go back.

thanks for the feedback

I'm messing around with harvest moon style mechanics.
I don't know if anything will become of this just because it seems like a monumental task, but I really like character interaction driven games and I like designing characters.

Since I was trying to make a rhythm based fighting game, I realize this is a monumental task that I should probably just give up for now. I've learned a lot, but now I need something new. I've got two paths, help me decide anons:
1) Competitive puzzle game (like how Katherine was, but not actually copying the gameplay)
2) Fantasy western adventure game

You could always make a turn-based rpg if you don't want to do harvest moon like mechanics.

I love Harvest Moon, and to that effect, Stardew Valley too actually.
Trying to get these mechanics worked out has actually been a pretty great learning experience.

Ive only been doing music for a while and would like to a song or two and maybe some sound effects with snyths. Would anyone be interested?

I can post a soundcloud of my stuff if anyone wants to.It's experimental music

>>370759610
I love Rune Factory, Stardew was pretty good too.

Not a lot of competition out there that's not RPG maker, so if you make a halfway decent one with an interesting graphics style or theme it could do pretty good.

Are you looking for a danmaku hardcore like ost? Or a more mysterious ost?
