How difficult would it be to make a combat system like Yakuza? Actually fuck it I'm ripping off Yakuza 1 to the gameplay and city to run around in, how hard will it be with one person considering the tools Unity has?

Not going to wish you luck. If you have to ask how hard it is then you're probably not ready to even attempt it. Don't go into anything without assessing everything you need to do.

Yakuza 1's combat is quite basic but working in 3D like that is a pain the ass.

>>377712228
If you want you to make the first game keep it simple.

>already 52% of the votes on greenlight

It's going alrighty.

Yesterday I finally went through the compilation log of the project and now I can package it again.

Currently sorting out ideas for the demo build.
I've got all these cool ideas for encounters but I'm also afraid that some might not deliver the freedom people are used to from King's Field / Ultima Underworld. So I'm not entirely sure yet what will end up in it.

>>377721443
Looks fine for a fan project. Though that animation needs improvement. Maybe make the walk animation look more simple like the one in PM64 or Sticker Star?

Anyway, here's a shoddy test animation.

Anyone know when steam is gonna incorporate their new 1000 bucks to release a game fee thing?

I'm only on like three communities with the game and I don't think that's where all the traffic's coming from.

>>377723246

There's a couple things I know are wrong with the walk animation.
First, his arms never really moved in the walk animations of the games, which kinda baffles me. It really goes against rules of animation, but it does actually work in the games.
Second, I don't have a dust cloud particle system for his walk yet. That will probably help take away some focus from the weirdness of the walk.

I'm gonna have to clean it up a bit later on regardless.

it's still under discussion but the last mentioned price range was between 100 and 1000

This was apparently after talking to devs who'd even pay up to 5000.

I guess it will be somewhere around 500 in the end.
Cause if it was 100 or 200 it would probably produce even more garbage content than steam greenlight. And that was the reason why they wanted to switch systems in the first place.

It was dropped because the programmer I work with hadn't ever played a Spyro game, or anything like it, so it was hard to explain how the gameplay ought to "feel".
I figured it would be easier to go for an FPS.

I still have all the assets, though, so perhaps I'll revisit the idea some day in the future.

Joke's on you. Those are literally Spyro map textures (which would be swapped for original ones later).

How much progress was made on the programming, and what was it made in?
The Spyro games are some of my top favourites ever.

Feels really weird to not be working on the game.

>>377730612
Thanks

>>377730908
Just basic movement and collisions in Unity. A shader to display vertex colors blended with the diffuse maps. Oh, and picking up items.
We switched to the Quake/Metroid Prime-like FPS project pretty early on, to not waste a lot of time on stuff we wouldn't be using.

>The Spyro games are some of my top favourites ever
Same here. Spyro and SM64 are something special, and Spyro also had a very distinct look and feel which I really love.

>>377731736
Ah. Well if the idea ever calls to you again and you'd like some help developing something post around because I'd be interested in helping.
I can't vouch for any advantage of skill over your last programmer but I'd be hype to try to reintroduce the Spyro gameplay I loved in a new light.
You could make so many fucking unique cool minigames with Unity.

>>377718653

there's lots of free rigged models, motion capture animations in the asset store you can borrow to prototype things, replace them with final models/anims later

Nothing all that interesting to talk about, but it's a necessary and important bit of progress to have made gameplay-wise, and it gives me an excuse to show off combat.

Just implementing enemy secondary hit reactions (being tripped, rolling after being knocked heavily backward, having an attack blocked, etc) and tuning the blend-out system for hit react animations. I still need to do down-spikes (which is to say, attacks that send the enemy crashing into the ground) and implement a dazed/dizzy state, which is a bit more interesting to pull off since it involves a secondary stun timer.

Rather badly it seems

He's making one of the best looking games on /v/ and he's using blueprints.

More importantly though, it's not like I ever expect to make a good game. I just like to mess around with shit because I like it.

>>377750517
Is that Mayhem dev? What happened to that Tony Hawk/DMC/Vanquish game

>>377749674
Well, buildbox but it is 1000$ a year, so.....

>>377749674
Unreal Eminem for sure, as long as you don't want to do crazy stuff their UI system is great, and with blueprints it gets pretty easy. Also, they handle most of the hard things about C++ with their framework so even C++ is easy unless you want to modify the engine
Ue also has native support for data tables like .csv so it's perfect for a spreadsheet simulator

>>377750710
I think he remade it to the current game because the gameplay and style wasn't really coming together. Like the concept wasn't making for a very fun game in the end.

>>377750737
Yeah, bit rich for playing around.

>>377750953
I have played around with it a bit, but isn't UE incredibly bloated if you want to make 2D games with a bunch of buttons and a few variables here and there?

>>377751213
>but isn't UE incredibly bloated if you want to make 2D games with a bunch of buttons and a few variables here and there?
Yes and no. Whatever tool you can use to finish a game is the best tool to use. You'll have a minimum filesize because of the engine but it's still fairly reasonable I think around 28MB. If UE4 lets you make a game instead of not making a game there's no reason to not give it a try.

>>377751389
And whatever you learn along the way, if UE ends up being not the best for you, you'll be able to take what you have and try to port it into something else that you find more suitable but requiring writing code.

>>377751213
The minimum game size is negligible unless you're planning on distributing your game on floppy disks. And it has native out of the box support for Win, Lin, Mac, consoles, even the Switch. I don't mean to sound like a shill but I doubt there's another one that easy to use, maybe Unity.

>>377724108
I know you're going with the retro thing but do you think it would be too out of place to include a number animation to show the damage dealt?

i.e. an 18 pops up next to the enemy sprite after the spell finishes

>>377712228
My code is spaghetti. Other than that, its pretty good. Probably will rewrite that shit.

>>377751389
28 mb is not bad at all. I heard it was closer to like 300. Think I'm gonna give it a try. Thanks.

>>377751608
I suppose that's true. I guess porting to phones might be the big issue but eh, fuck phones.

And I guess it could also be neat to see if you can do like a "merger" between 2D stuff and 3D.

>>377751808
The minimum size is about 35 mb, 25mb for the executable, 10 for the engine content. The rest is the size of your assets since code is negligible. I don't know where you're getting the 300mb from but it's nowhere near that much.

>>377752282
I think some anon said it ages ago and I just snapped it up.

Literally all I want to do is make a roguelike with an idea I've had for years now. What fucking engine or shit should I use? I know a decent amount of java but I feel like doing graphics would be a lot harder than it needs to be with it

>>377752448
That's probably the number you get if you build your project with the default settings or with the starter content or something. There are examples that you can download to learn the engine like a flappy bird clone or a match 3s and they are all lightweight

>>377742036
God damn that looks nice. Link to download?

Custom engine. But the framework I use is Monogame. Also made my own level editor. It took a while but I can do whatever I want now so fuck it.

>I think he remade it to the current game because the gameplay and style wasn't really coming together. Like the concept wasn't making for a very fun game in the end.
That's exactly what I did. I realized I was designing levels to be more like Banjo Kazooie levels because that's what made them interesting (THPS itself has pretty BK-esque "missions", when it comes to secret tapes and grinding 5 cop cars and whatnot it's a fairly collectathon-esque game) and once I did, all of the contrivances of gameplay that were meant to suit the score-attack system felt stupid.

Plus by then I had done a great deal of idea-guy refining of the core combat system (what with crouch commands and all) and the art style was making it take 50x as long as it should to build assets for one unskilled guy, so I retooled the entire thing into an N64 collectathon that had the Mayhem League combat.

>downloading the game also installs a bunch of background processes that just eat memory whenever you press the slo-mo button

>>377753462
lol no.
hard code all animations to frame rate, then cap the frame rate.

>>377754448
Why tie it to performance? Just individually slow down the play rate of every animation, divide all current object velocities, and temporarily adjust the effect of gravity.

why do people keep making roguelikes?
they're all ugly to look at and boring to play

make something good instead

>>377754896
People keep making roguelites. A good roguelike will last you 20 years.

>>377753462
that makes too much sense and was posted too soon after the question for it to be made up on the spot
fess up, which AAA games do this

>temporarily adjust the effect of gravity
You never want to fuck with variables as specific as gravity for something as broad as time slow. Gravity should affect velocity and your velocity should already be halved, right? Shouldn't need to mess with it.

Now, updating game logic half as often and interpolating objects' drawn positions for smooth slowed movement? That's my jam

If I can find a script for it. I can't into even basic programming, that's why I'm using RPG Maker.

>>377754448
xD

>>377754896
I want to make a roguelike with cute animal people in it.
Maybe in a couple years after the current game is done.

I thought we were just naming hilariously wrong ways of achieving slo-mo
