Off to bed but got some more work done. Still have yet to make some of the props I have planned but I wanted to get the town layout over with.
The crates lined up outside that house on the left are placeholders for a fence.

Should I make a second tree type?

I made script to represent my player's health and gave it a bunch of events that things can listen to.
When the player dies, it automatically fades to a death color of a default time and then resets the scene.

I also spend time trying to figure out why my VR headset wasn't falling when it was over open space. It turns out that physics get disabled at certain points for some BS reason, so I extended it and overrode the TogglePhysics and boom, now physics stay all always if I want them. This makes it so you can't trick your way across gaps using the Vive and a big room.

That took a while, and I'm now trying to get my 3d hands to work and grip properly.

Once that's done, I can finally move onto interesting things, like all the obstacles I need for my game.
I got a big list of them, but I didn't get to start in on them. I expect them to be much simpler than the things I'm doing now which are more "core gameplay" stuff to get the whole thing running smoothly.

>>386427174
looking good, anon!
You don't need a second tree type yet, go for one once you have maps with more trees.

I haven't even attempted to learn game dev because I'm too afraid I'll fail at it.

If I just keep it as a dream I can pretend I'll make a game one day, if I actually try to learn I might understand how hard it is and realize I'll never get it done

Have you considered partnership with someone and sharing potential future revenue instead of "work for me for free"? I think people would be more opened to the idea of partnership than being slaves.

My suggestion would be to not use RPG maker if your art skills are that good. Use something that can make a better game, unless you don't plan on it really going anywhere

>>386427174
Break up the monotony more. Too many of the same tile in one area.

Look at Stardew Valley and how much it breaks up the ground textures with stuff like pebbles and flowers. The beach has underwater logs and rocks. The paving has holes and decorative lines.

>>386431113
the whole point of these threads is that it doesn't matter who's making the games and/or criticizing them, anons post their work and anons comment on it
the discussion is worthwhile because the content of the posts is the only point of discussion; as soon as you start attaching a person to the opinions, the threads will slowly become less about the posts and more about the posters
a discord server will just push away every anon that decides to post here that isn't part of the "/v/ gamedev group", because those that are part of the server will hold themselves above everyone else
either that or the server will be mostly dead and pointless even for those that are in it
if you want to be part of some gamedev circlejerk, I'm sure the /vg/ threads might be better for this, and there's always reddit, random forums, what have you

What do you guys use to make your art?

I was working on a tactical RPG but it stagnated on the art side while working with another /v/irgin purely over the internet.

Just yesterday my IRL friend roped me into starting a project with him, specifically an RPG that parents can play with their children local multiplayer. I took one of my old ideas off the shelf for an RPG which features nothing but dogs (all sorts of breeds) which slotted into what he wanted, and now we're merging them. We're both programmers though so we're still figuring out the art side of the equation.

Hopefully I'll have something to post within a month

>>386432593
I'm not sure what kind of gameplay would be expected of it.
In my mind I picture it to be like those GameJolt games you see every now and then that are kinda short except I don't want mine to be short.
I suppose I would take inspiration from Undertale for the gameplay but I'm open to ideas since I don't quite no myself yet

I actually finished my latest game.
Took me about two months of endless crunch.
Cant wait for it to forever fade into obscurity!

>>386432746
If you have thought up the setting and story before the gameplay don't even bother making it is my advice. Always let the gameplay be the influence for the setting or else you will find yourself battling with mechanics that don't fit the setting and let the game suffer for it.

>>386432835
>Literally the lamest story for a video game
I'm quite fond of the idea of it but maybe my use of transhumanism was misleading in a way.


>>386432886
I get what you are saying but I wan't to put an emphasis on storytelling since I really like this particular idea of mine. I originally thought RPGMaker would suffice for this but I can't afford it and using the programs I have (Aseprite and Game Maker) it would be a lot easier and might actually come out better

>>386433247
If your game is even possible in RPGMaker, it's a shit idea and it's best to stop while you can. Learn to code and come up with a real game idea. Nobody plays RPG Maker shit, much less wants to "cooperate" with a guy who has no skills and make his game for him and wipe his ass.

Ouch, that was kinda harsh.
Im not trying to argue but like I said, I couldn't make it in RPGMaker even if I wanted to.
I never asked for cooperation.
And I've tried learning to code and I'm still learning.

I'm not going to just stop this project because I don't know what to do for gameplay while the game is still conceptual all the while still learning how to use the programs I'm using to make these.
I want it to have the same art style as Uncanny Valley.
Once I learn what I can and can't do with these programs then I can decide what kind of gameplay I am even able to do

have you considered not making a game? if you're gonna make a fartsy story game, it'd be better accomplished as a movie, a comic, whatever

Can you make 2D pixel shit games on Cryengine?

>>386436153
It's possible to make 2D in Cryengine, though it'll come out like an unoptimized ass unless you got your compile skills on fleek.

Is anyone making a 3d game? or is this all 2d here

>>386437165

>Install Unity

>Go through some Unity for beginner videos
>Pick some easy game tutorial and follow it in Unity
Congratulations, you just made a game. Now keep doing shit according to tutorials and start studying C# on your free time. You should also check out some free assets at Unity store to play around with. If you are willing to put some money in, Playmaker is good asset for people who don't like scripting.

Once you start feeling more confident in your skills, you may consider switching to some other engine that is more suitable for other than mobile games.

I'm waiting for payday so I can finally buy the gamemaker bundle.

You can use C, C++, and some sort of opengl and sfml, from what i understand.

Man, I wanted to be a cheap jew and just get the 1 dollar bundle, but now you make want to shell out for the HTML5 publish as well.

It's a card game with real time combat in 2D. You've been raped and are pregnant in a country where abortions are illegal, and you have to decide what to do - have an illegal back-alley abortion (chance to get arrested or suffer complications), try to overturn the legislation by going into politics (not sure what the penalties will be), or carry the baby to term and raise the child (chance it develops to be another rapist).

At first I wanted to mock the SJW's who were trying to make games like this that weren't really games (that girl who wanted to make a "game" where the whole thing is just that you're having an abortion or being raped or whatever and you can't actually do anything so it's really just a real-time rendered animation). But then I thought it would be cool to explore the actual issues involved, without so much political bias (I'm pro-abortion but for pragmatic reasons), and try to make it fun.

It's going along alrightish but here's the thing:

Is there any industry standard approach to designing levels in UE4?

Doing everything in modular parts is kinda unflexible and you are strongly bound to your assets.
Blocking stuff out with the native geometry brushes is kinda cumbersome (especially if you are using modular parts to enhance that stuff - where everything has to be very exact positionwise).

So how are they doing it?

Take for example pic related.
I know parts of it are modular.
But how do they even approach this?

>If your game is even possible in RPGMaker, it's a shit idea

Meanwhile 90% of the games in this thread is side-scroller stuff that was done to death in the 80s.

>>386445493

I don't know how UE4 handles things, but do not use any kind of terrain sculpting tools and have the result in a game.
Most make use of height maps which are honestly fucking terrible to use as a final product. They lack a lot of functionality and are generally poor for optimisation purposes, they also look ugly as fuck.

What I do is use a height map only as a rough sketch. I use it as a basic outline of where I want to place things like a cliff or a river.
Then I convert this into a mesh (I had to custom make a function to do this), I'll edit the meshes geometry to get a better looking map and usually try to lower polygon count, optimise it and so on.
Then I import this into the game and use it as the ground for a level. From here it's as you'd expect, adding various features and what not to the game by hand.

There is a lot of programs out there that will generate a map for you, but most rely on the same few features and the end result is honestly never that good or usable. You should avoid them except maybe as a rough sketch which will never make it into the final game.

Your picture in particular is probably all hand made and hand placed except for maybe the floor. It probably consists of hundreds, if not thousands of separate objects that were all hand made and placed, though it'd be smart if you made some basic tools to make placing this much shit easier.

>>386443803

Having two characters do debuffs and one do damage is p annoying

I'd already be happy with a better vertex snapping functionality in UE. having it only affect the pivot point is quite a hassle.

But if you actually pull one mesh into the map for the basic structure/landscape how do you handle lightmaps?

>>386445493
you basically do it the hard way and make everything in single/modular parts, its cumbersome work but that's how you make things look good

>>386447771

The basic landscape isn't just one mesh. It's many. If you wanted to add a cliff or mountain for example, that cliff/mountain would be a separate mesh, maybe even several that you place over the basic landscape.

Picture related. Obviously when optimising you'd remove parts of the basic landscape you never see.

What are some of your favourite silly minigames, anons?
I'll probably be needing a handful of timed and untimed games. I'm going to be using them to give my point and click a little extra spice.
I do have to be careful to make sure it doesn't get annoying, but maybe if I have one or two mouse-based games you play to duel someone, or one of the classics for computer hacking etc it'll add some actual gameplay to my project.

please anons make an mmo with guild clastles invasions like lineage pls

I suppose. Maybe I should just try focusing on one other game mechanic and really flush it out to use in the rest of the game?

Maybe more like clue of selecting the items in the correct order to solve a puzzle.

Gotta get those props in anon. Levels always look boring until you start throwing in some little environment details. I often find levels don't really come together visually until very near the end when you do a proper set dress pass. Try throwing in some crates and barrels and stuff and see how it goes.

Anybody had experiences with the vehicles controllers classes ? Is it possible to fuck around with the standard assets scripts to add a damage system to the vehicles and wheels ? Like making one wheel bursting or altering the driving capacity ?
Also is it ok to use it for a multiplayer game ?

>>386427086
No I am not. It's a wasted effort, because to make a game you need assets and I only know how to code, I don't know even know how 2d/3d models are made and all the pre-made assets are either free absolute trash or $16 for a single model. Yeah, fuck that shit and the whole gaymen development bullshit.

>>386456523

>>386456523
have you looked on Unity and Unreal marketplaces for assets? I've found a bunch of really great model sets there that are pretty competitive in price. You can get whole dungeon builder sets and stuff from like $30

>>386456862
I wouldn't poo-poo payed assets anon. I wouldn't build my whole game out of them but they can be great time savers in the long run and can get you started very quickly in the short term.

Here is the official guide for what languages to learn to become a GOAT videogame programmer:

[Stage 1 - Foundations]
1) Lambda Calculus (just the basics) - 2 days
2) Scheme (though SIPC + Little Schemer) - 3 months
3) C (with K&R of course) - 2 month

[Stage two - getting employable]
4) SQL (normal forms, set theory basics and learning by doing) - 1 month
5) Java or C# - 3 months
6) JavaScript - 2 month

[Stage three - let the fun begin]
7) Clojure (super easy if you know Scheme and Java already) - 1 month
8) Ruby (benefits from Scheme and JS) - 2 months
9) Perl or Python (both are very easy with Ruby background) - 1 month
10) F# or Erlang+Elixir or Haskell (muh functional coolness) - 6 months
11) Scala or C++ - at least 18 month

I made a whole bunch of assets and I'm pretty much done with all the core game features.

Nope, I had a problem with sprites. However i have changed a few things. Like a stop machine

I just ordered my first digital art tablet which will be a step closer to working on a game.
Im working full time, but when im not I may spend time everyday working on a game. Art is a huge draw back for me, but I can probably learn it. Next draw back will be music, but I already can read and write music, its just actually performing or recording it.

>>386459387
This is a much wider question than you're thinking.
YOU get to decide how you store the variables.
You're lucky that this is my specialty.
Just for beginners, let's start with something simple. I'd suggest doing a file format like

x "4"
y "10"
name "homurachan"

Your goal then is to read each line.
You will want to separate the variable name and the value.
You will want to match the name to your object property.
You will want to assign the parsed value to your object.

For starting out your project and learning? Use a load(input) function that uses if statements or other control logic you want.
Later on you'll probably be looking at serialization and more clever mapping, so try not to overthink it right now. Just get something working and cool.

my guess is: /v/ kids don't post in these threads,and /vg/ is full of fags

>>386464437
/agdg/ is filled with 24/7 shitposting and people who don't partake in it tend to get used to seeing your game and stop giving feedback
there is a lot more people on /v/ who would click this thread out of pure curiosity

>>386467392
That's exactly how level building works anon. You always start with placeholder assets, most of the time its as basic as cubes. When your level is blocked out then you start replacing cubes with proper assets. This allows a much more iterative approach as it is much easier to shift around a bunch of cubes but harder to change when you have a bunch of sexy assets placed down.

>>386466723
It's not something for a characters hand dumbass. It's designed as if it was for an inventory system in which the player can zoom in real close, rotate the item etc with it displayed in the middle of the screen, talking up all of it.

Kind of like you can do in skyrim, but with higher res items displayed with modern specs.

I'm making a game 9 to 5 in a studio and it's slowly killing me just like any other job would. But if you're serious about making your own game, that's what you should do too. You'll learn more in a studio than you ever would alone. Get 3 to 5 years of experience in a studio and start working on an indie game, that's my plan.

>>386467149
If you think 2K is high res in AAA game dev boy are you behind the times.

When I started working for game studios ~6 years ago it was already a dying res. Most assets are made at 4k+ and then if needs be scaled down depending on the target platform/size of game.

>>386466419
That looks really good. Good job m8.

>>386468107
Yeah, lie some more idiot.
Consoles have just recently begun to support shit over 1k.
In some games, a bunch of textures are combined to create larger texture atlases.
But 2k for one little object is just stupid.

How are houses like those from RE7 and What Remains of Edith Finch made? Modular or one object? How do you make unique texture details for the walls then? By vertex painting inside the engine? Because if iI have only one modular wall, then I can't do it in substance painter I guess.

>>386468338
God I hope you don't actually work in the games industry as an artist.

>>386467925
Spotted the beginner who thinks he knows everything while not knowing jack shit.

>>386466629
Oh damn, I thought you had to pay a fee and buy an xbox dev kit or something to be able to test your game at all for a console.

So they just play your PC version or you send them a version packaged for Xbox? Sounds like a console release is going to be way easier than I imagined.

>>386468434
The way buildings are textured is you have your tiled texture and you use individual decals to add detail, you can add normal detail with decals as well. In UE4 you do those decals in the blueprint for the building, so it all works together.

Alternatively, if your building isn't that big you can use a tiled background texture and then overlay 3-4 other tiled textures on top of it using a mask. That doesn't work for huge building because the pixels on the mask would become really obvious, but it kind of works on medium sized buildings since only the mask itself gets pixelated and the tiled textures themselves look fine

No fee, if you show them something amazing, they will let you into the program earlier than most people like I did with my game. Normally your game needs to be super close to release.

No, I mean avoiding the whole "studio". I wouldn't want to work for anyone else and would personally see it as a waste of time.

Well alright, I thought I was going to have to prepare a lot more. Sounds like its going to be easy.
Thanks.

Left side of the raised bit looks flat.

Water hole thing doesn't look like it has depth.

Want.

Is there any way to create a lake or a sea in UE4 without buying anything from a store? Any good tutorial?

>>386460946
Looks neato.

>>386470471
Could perhaps add more variance along the top parts of the elevated tiles; it looks little plain when it's a perfectly straight line like that. Otherwise could use a bit few more details here and there.

>>386440789
I think the game's viewport is a bit too large, particularly if half the screen is basically solid ground. The smoke from the defeated enemy could be pixel art to keep up the visuals' consistency.

>>386467567
Oh, nice to know that i was asking because i want to start programing and building the scenario but i don't have any assets yet and it will take quite sometime before i have anything done in that regard so i wanted to finish as much of the game as i can and then just dedicate myself to replace assets.

Is my game going to be shat on just because of /v/ shitters who don't know what an engine is or does?

So /v/. I'm a modeler and my 3D lead tells me I should have a UV borderline running across every hard edge on the model. If you don't do it, you have a small line on that hard edge in the normal map when you bake it. My question is, is that normal practice? Because my UVs end up as a complete mess, it's a collection of tiny UV clusters. We texture in Substance Painter, so it's not really a problem, but it still bugs me. Is this how people do things these days? Or is my 3D lead retarded? I was always taught to try and connect all the UVs into the biggest clusters I could so as to minimize the amount of UV borders on the model. Isn't that the way to do it?

>>386471386
Literally google "UE4 water tutorial"

>>386471637

Just don't tell anybody it's unity you idiot.

If you're using the free version you deserve to be shat on though. You ARE the problem with Unity.

Check this out, it should give you a basic overview of a normal game dev pipeline. It's in UE4 but the principles are the same regardless of engine.

>>386469858
that art style is pretty cute fampai, nice work

>>386471720
I have some standards, though. I already searched everywhere, I wouldn't ask here otherwise. I'd like to achieve something similar to this at least.

>>386471820
kinda wish the character moved atleast twice as fast

>>386471820
Add a smooth lerp to the camera so it's not tracking the player perfectly.

Example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuuSRXPWwx4

It's easier to understand the characters movement when it's separated from the cameras movement.

>>386471963
UE4 is the one i plan to use, thanks for the advice.

Gonna improve it later but it does the job for now.

>>386471683
No not quite right. If you are using cages to bake your normal maps you should harden all UV boundary edges while keeping every other edge soft. You shouldn't be setting your edge smoothness before doing your UVs, only after. This is best practice if using a cage bake method. You are right though, you should (usually) always be sewing your UVs together to create a large shell. Split UV islands where you have drastic changes in direction. This will allow you to have lower res textures for the same amount of texel density and also limit the amount of hard edges. Remember every hard edge you have creates two verts instead of one. These are called 'split tangents' and can drop the performance of your model quite a lot .

I understand where you're coming from but the camera system is not a huge priority right now. It's gonna get a thorough rework once I implement some camera control blocks into the level editor so that you can control its behavior.

However, as an aside it's currently set to work like Mega Man X camera in that it always keeps the player character in the center on horizontal axis. On vertical axis there's a certain threshold before it starts scrolling up or down. That threshold is probably a bit small, though.

>>386472091
I'm gonna tweak movement speeds later, particularly because I want to redo that run cycle somewhere down the line.

>>386472445
>You shouldn't be setting your edge smoothness before doing your UVs, only after. This is best practice if using a cage bake method
Holy shit, that's great advice. I was doing it the other way around, starting with smoothness and moving on to UVs. And my 3D lead was okay with it. Thanks anon, sounds like a good idea

>>386467678

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a 2k texture on a single asset that's going to take up the whole screen.

>If you're using the free version you deserve to be shat on though
Not him but what's the differences between the free version and paid versions of Unity? I thought the problem with Unity was people making shitty meme games using Asset Store stuff and nothing about which version you use.

>>386432414
Blackhole 2?

>>386472918
You can't remove the intro splash in the free version

>>386472889
>going to take up the whole screen
Assuming it's at least a box and not a plane, 2K isn't good enough these days. It's a retarded conversation anyway, you should be talking about pixel density, not texture resolution

>>386472918
There was a difference some years ago (for example you couldn't add video to Unity without a pro license), but nowdays there isn't much aside from access to cloud services or what have you.

Now the biggest thing is that splash screen you get, which isn't too bad when you're just prototyping or getting the game off the ground.

>>386473257
>Now the biggest thing is that splash screen you get
So you're telling me Unity logo only appears on the cheapest Unity games? God damn, that's a great marketing plan, Unity. I wonder why everyone thinks Unity games are shit

>>386473032
>>386473257
Okay I see the problem now. Shame that having your game displaying the engine's name is now considered a sin just because shitty meme games were made using Unity.

>>386473107

>Assuming it's at least a box and not a plane

What in the actual fuck are you talking about?

And discussing texture resolution in relation the the screen realestate it takes up is literally discussing pixel density you retard.

>>386473474
Game Maker Studio also has a similar thing with the free edition.

>>386472814
No problem. Yeah your UVs dictate edge smoothness. I have a script that automatically softens all edges and then hardens all UV boundary edges, makes things a lot quicker. It's the last thing that I do to the mesh before export for baking.

That water can be made from searching tutorials on
-Basic water shader/volume
-water Tessellation
-water depth fade

Watch a days worth of tutorials on basics like that then apply what you've learned until you get the desired effect.
