You guys need to really sit down and write things out.
Think of what you can make and focus on it.
If you sit back and do nothing, then yeah, you're never going to do it.

I have a solid portion of the basic story down, which'll likely get re-written a whole bunch and expanded since it's just basically the party going from place to place and doing a thing. Currently waiting for an amigo to draw some character sheets so I can get to modelling.

Which would be easier for a first time Unity project attempt?

How would you handle collision in Unity?
Would you use a CharacterController? I'm trying to make basic 3D platformer physics without a RigidBody but I don't know how to handle gravity and collisions.

Struggling. This programming stuff just wont click with me. I feel like I steal a lot of code.

>>379079010
I would let a rigidbody handle the collision. Are you sure you wouldn't want to use one as well?

If you want to make your own version, then store the position coordinates at the end of each update call. Then whenever OnCollisionEnter is called for the player revert back to the previous coordinates.

I'm not sure what the best approach is in general when it comes to Unity; I don't know if I should use a RigidBody, a CharacterController or do it myself for a 3D platformer.

As a silly comparison, would you think Mario 64 used a RigidBody on Mario? Just to get an idea of how movement can be implemented in Unity.

For player movement I would use a Character Controller. That's what it's designed for.

Just some prototyping. I'm picturing a game that's essentially DKC-style minecart levels, but with loop-the-loops and more fleshed-out physics/acceleration. So I'm figuring out 2D sonic movement and going from there. It's just about functional but there's still some clipping issues.

I showed a few projects in these threads before but they never went anywhere. This is the first one it looks like I'll finish.

It's a pretty simple puzzle game but there's a good chunk of content there. I put in a bunch of different modes, bosses, and minigames, so I think it's pretty close to done. I did all the art, music, and code by myself and it shows, but I'm still a little proud of it.

I'm having trouble sorting out what needs to be fixed and what can probably slide.

Game Maker 1.4; I'm not a big enough boy to write everything from scratch. If you pause the webm you can see two lines extending "below" the ball; That's where it's checking for the floor segments, if they're both registering a collision, each sensor returns the x/y position of the nearest collision, calculates the angle between these 2 points, and rotates the ball accordingly. The sensors' positions are calculated using the sin/cos functions of the ball's angle, so they always face "below" it. Trig is fun, etc.

Barring the sensors' positioning, all the logic used draws from this handy reference: http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_Physics_Guide

And yes, the Engine does matter if it inhibits the content the developer can create. If all you know how is Game Maker, you will be stuck with making indie pixelshit platformers for the rest of your career.

The fact you don't even have these extremely basic terms in your vocabulary is worrisome. But if you just use sprites from spriters-resource or something, sure you can whip together a simple little game in that timeframe.

>>379100629
it's just Unity, layered sprites with an orthographic camera. Writing all the scripts in c# myself, I don't like to use plugins. A friend is making the sprites.

What do YOU guys want to see in a new AVP game primarily focused on multiplayer? Engine? Weapons? New Xenomorph caste? Etc.

So how popular would my game be, generally speaking, if all the music was electro swing?

>>379101324

>>379101324
that would depend greatly on every other aspect of the game, I think.

But you'd probably get some more people interested than if you simply had a generic chiptune or orchestral soundtrack. I doubt there's anyone who would be turned off by such a soundtrack, except super-autists on /v/ who would never have bought your game to begin with.

>>379101324
game don't live or die on music, but on gameplay. If it will be fun, your game can still fail, cause you might not have enough luck

>>379101324
It won't be popular, regardless of the music.

If you have money, hire a programmer that uses an engine and pay them hourly (from experience this gets best results.)

If you have time, learn to program with an engine. Programming isn't impossibly hard and now its easier than ever.

Where's the best place to look for a game programmer?
If you're experienced, whats the average going rate for hourly work? for at least a seasoned programmer?

>>379102784
I don't think there's a specific place to look for one, but look for game developers on twitter/tumblr/gamedev forums and ask them if they'd be interested and their rates.
As for rates, it all depends on the project and the programmer.
If you're serious I'm looking for work

Would GameMaker 2 be any good for making something like old XCOM or Jagged Alliance 2? WIth pixelshit graphics of course, but with more complex stuff going on.

Funny thing is I am in the opposite situation where I can't find an artist, but it's not Advance Wars related unfortunately. Your art looks great.

>>379103464

>>379104492
doing it all upfront hasn't been a good experience. Ask them for their hourly rate then ask for an estimation of how long it'll take. If they take way longer than expected then just don't pay. It's that easy. Paying it all upfront could lead to them just taking your money. Especially for something like making a game. How long do you think making a game takes? If you pay 3 ground upfront then they realize they can't do that, you're out 3 grand.

>>379104919
you create a series of milestones and pay based on the delivery of those milestones. paying hourly only works for small projects, smaller than nearly any game. paying upfront is so ridiculous I don't even know why you thought it was an alternative

>what type of game is it anyways?

A Megaman Battle Network inspired game. The focus is on online multiplayer with the game structure built somewhat like Hearthstone. At this point I could in theory release it publicly and people could join the server and battle (even 2v2) but lack of polish and too many bugs is stopping me right now. And I'm not satisfied with how "fun" it is yet.

Webm is a bit old but I haven't done too much multiplayer testing recently. Working on backend database stuff right now like logins, saving player decks server side, etc.

GBA was a great system.

>>379105491
good luck and godspeed, the battle network games were great. i'm playing through 3 right now

>>379105376
Yea that's another good way to handle it. I brought it up because I've seen many people pay for things upfront only to find out they've been scammed or the person they paid didn't realize the scope or whatever. I'm just saying paying in smaller chunks is best because even if the person disappears at one point, you have results and can hire someone else to continue.

uh oh

>>379105903
paying someone based on work-per-hour results in shitty work being turned in on longer projects, and playing pass-the-programmer results in even shittier work. paying per milestone ensures you get people who are actually serious about sticking around and gives them the flexibilty to create what needs to be done instead of just throwing more code down when they're stuck on a problem so they can get their hourly wage

>>379104392
She's cute, anon. Y-You should make her nose longer. haha

>>379106227
Have you ever hired anyone or are you just speaking out of thin air? Most people online (artist or programmer) work by a per hour basis. And if you don't want shitty results then don't hire someone with a shitty portfolio. Every single person I've hired has been per hour (except for composers) and I've had good results.

Although I do agree getting multiple programmers isn't the best idea (I'm a programmer myself) but if your project is big and the programmer disappears, you have no other choice.

>>379106826
I've worked as and worked with contractors, the payment was always a fixed amount based on work delivered. I can't imagine doing a long-term payment based on a per-hour wage through the internet. It doesn't sound flexible enough at all. It's not like you can even check how long they're working for when you're doing it through the internet

>>379107628
Basically with milestones like your said but on a per hour basis. So lets say you want a turn based combat system with xyz. Explain to the programmer what you want then ask
>what is your hourly rate?
>how long do you expect it to take?
Then move onto the next milestone, ex inventory or whatever else when finished. You don't pay until its finished and if its taking drastically longer than expected, find someone else. Your way works aswell, but everyone I've come across has been hourly pay and everything has been fine so far and honestly cheaper than when I was looking to pay on a different model.

>>379108203
what's the biggest project you've made? I can't see that scaling up to something that takes more than a few weeks at all. Most games take over a year. Do you check what they've done every hour on the hour?

>>379108582
Yeah, that's just some random font already in GM, and im using GM's set colors and "draw_rectangle" instead of sprites just for testing all the actual coding.

If you know any good fonts I'd love to know whats a good starting point.

>>379108528
What works for me is to not have any games I want to play (or at least not have them installed). Finish playing the games you are currently playing, and then start to work on something when you've got nothing on your slate.

If you're playing a persistent game like an MMO or assfaggots then either stop playing them entirely or only play them when real friends are playing with you, never solo.

>>379108728
I'm a programmer so I've never hired one before but I've hired composers/artists. I've been working on a project for over a year now (slowly since I'm doing it on my free time) and all the art I've commissioned has been per hour. No I don't ask what they do every hour, but like I said before, I ask for an estimation beforehand and if I'm satisfied with the amount charged I agree to it.

Thoughts?

Which option do you guys think would be better for a JRPG inspired game?

Option 1: Enemies visible on the map and when they see you they try to initiate battle. This version would have a stealth system. The battle would happen on the game map, it would be similar to Chrono Trigger.

Option 2: Same as option 1, but the battle would happen outside of the regular map.

Option 3: Random battles

That's not so much a BP thing as a UE thing.

Gravity's direction is hardcoded in CharacterMovement components in a LOT of ways, mostly because it's convenient and fast to derive certain altitude-based calculations by isolating the Z axis of velocity/position.

You'd need C++ to "fix" this only because that's the only way to modify the CMP; you could create your own from scratch with BP if you wanted, though.

On the other hand, 2D games are also worse than 3D games. Why make a worse game just because it's marginally easier?

Trying to wrap my head on how I should do a dynamic camera zoom during lock on.
As of now the camera focus in the point between the player and the enemy (perspective is like Ragnarok, you can rotate the camera and shit). I have the zoom tied to the distance between them but that doesnt work because screens are widescreen, so depending on the distance limit of the lock on the the characters might get out of the field of view in the vertical part of the monitor.
Im thinking of different zoom ratios for x and y but then you take into account resolution and it just fucks my shit up
Unity by the way

>>379120885
Not going to bother, simple logic is likely to be lost on you.
If you really want some answers i'll give you a hint.
Look at the credits of 2d games and 3d games, you might find a significant difference in how many people worked on them.

Would a fighting game where attacking to the beat of the music double the damage work? That's basically the only unique idea I've got.

>>379121092
That's some Phil Fish logic right there buddy.
Would you say that the first Final Fantasy game is worse than Zeno Clash?

Doing Ben Tristem's Unity tutorials right now based on recommendations in previous threads. Did I get memed? I feel like I'm learning things but at the same time I'm worried I'm still not going to know where to go or really even be that much better off by the end of it all.

>marginally
its at least twice as hard to make a good 3D game than a 2D, if it were even quantifiable

>>379121312
You're supposed to try out things with the projects you make in the course. If all you do is follow what the instructor is doing, you're not getting much value out of the course. Use the forums to ask stuff you want to try out, the instructors usually do answer on Tristem's courses.
You will still have to put a ton of effort to get the best value out of the course.

So what you're saying is you're making baseless claims but saying them with some sort of authority on the topic? You're an arrogant fuckwit.

>>379122793
Top kek.
Still gave the idiot a way to figure it out and i implied that a decent 3D game takes longer to make than a decent 2D game.
Making animations isn't the only thing you need to make an actual good game faggot. Now bleed your heart out somewhere else or make a good game and post something useful, like actual critisicm rather than crying.

>>379122536
I'm doing the extra credit and trying some things out for myself, sure, but are you saying I should be going even further? I don't expect this course to get me right up to the point where I'm making my dream game or anything.

>>379123154
Still not providing evidence for your claims. Keep talking out your ass, fucking loser.

The graphics are about the only real major difference between a 2D and 3D game. All the other assets and features are made with the same kind of workflow.

>>379121904
What in the fucking fuck
Seems pretty cool, post link

There's a great bit of irony there with your faggot mind. I'd like to think that you are a funny man, but you are either serious or pretending to be retarded.

If you honestly believe that the major difference between a 2D and 3D game are their graphics, then you have never programmed anything in your life.
You should try it, you might actually become relevant to this thread!

>>379123904
Still not providing evidence of your claims.

I am a professional software developer.

>>379123730
of course not, now go make an actual good game, that isn't a low effort prototype.

>>379124012
OBJECTION!
I'd like you to "provide evidence" of that claim.
Post some of your video game work or gtfo

>>379124012
3d rotations are much more complex than 2d rotations
3d collisions are much more complex than (most) 2d collisions
3d pathfinding is much more complex than 2d pathfinding
camera control, performance optimizations, I could go on and on

Doing some spritework for Project GONDOLA based on sketches and concepts I've done which will be a 2D exploratory platformer (Something that would be most likely just a little zen garden for me, maybe $10 game at best).

I'm still retooling stuff for the Project 1905 city builders since I have to scrap science & military ideas completely and rework them...

...summer is gonna be fun.

Unless you are an engine dev (and I am sure you aren't), the work has already been done to calculate and handle that stuff. And even if there isn't one, the math is already out there for it. Quit spewing bullshit.

Can't distract from the fact that you haven't provided any sources for the previous claims. I'll wait. Quit misguiding people in threads.

working on some animations
if you have any feedback im all ears

>>379124312
The only thing i really though it was harder was syncing animations with the environment, even using bonewights.
I still haven't played much with the camera because i tend to use static cameras, but it does seem more complex.
performance is also a concern depending on the device you are targeting.
Not the same guy

>>379116838
its basically like that, except instead of morphing into them, you can pick up their items and use them. For example the shield in the webm

>Unless you are an engine dev
I am, I'm not the guy you were arguing with, even if you are using Unity I think competent art and game design for a 3D game is still alot more difficult and has alot more factors to consider
