Don't make a new thread immediately after the old one was archived. It died for a reason, wait 5-12 hours and then make a new thread to see if there's any interest.

>>389073292
I figured it could've probably died because of the picture used on the OP, not just because of a lack of interest. Could've been confused with an engine discussion thread or people simply didn't see it. Better to use the typical, black-background picture.

Currently learning how to set a character with animations in UE4.

Meanwhile, my mind is set on a particular issue that threatens my entire character design. WEBM related. It's for rotating non-spherical eyes while keeping its deformation.

>>389077759
Do you need to actually rotate the eyes? If you are talking about moving the iris and pupil around then you could just shift the eye UVs around and not worry about moving the actual eye sphere. Probably a lot easier.

>>389077759
Use morph targets or just move the eyes' textures instead of the geometry.

Going terrible. Tried to get started but between life getting in the way (work full time and go to grad school part-time) and me wasting time here and watching nonsense on youtube, I haven't gotten anything done past a stupid splash screen, lol.

Not sure what I would want to make either. I kinda want to make a bit of money so I thought about making something for mobile, but what I really would like to make is a lovecraft-inspired survival horror game... think Eternal Darkness meets Amnesia. I also really like Castlevania, but there's enough Metroidvanias out there. Then again, same can probably be said of walking simulators.

>>389078185

I could, but I have eyelids as well, and they can't be faked the same way.

>>389078287

Could this work with aim constraints for the eyes later down the line? Also, for this to work, I think I would need to bake entire rotation animations and blend between them, because I suspect just having 8 different angles (I think that's what you mean for blend spaces) will make the eye lose volume and clip through the eyelids.

I'm going mad because of this issue, because I know the solution exists: https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/213153/how-to-rig-cartoon-non-spherical-eyes.html

So how are people learning make games? I'm getting some Lynda courses, haven't watched them, but I'm thinking it might not explain all. But it is for 2D games and an intro.

So I want to start a project but not sure which gameplay style to choose to imitate.

These 3 are the series I most want to create a game in similar veins to.

>Metroid 2D
>Ys (bumper or oath style)
>Mega Man X

Wat do?

To enginedev or not to enginedev... that is question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to learn more
About the makings of outrageous graphics
Or to use tools and existing engines
And thus more promptly finish games. To ship, to dev--
No more

>>389080932
Learn the basics of how to code and then dive in the deep end with some tutorials for your engine of choice. Follow those and screw around with small projects until you're comfortable enough to work on something more permanent. Try doing game jams too, they're fun and a great way to learn a bunch of stuff.

Why do they only go where you've already been? They should predict where you're going to be and head there.

Then you can reduce the amount so it seems like a challenge to dodge and weave rather than never stop moving and you literally can not lose.

>>389096467
for something like this are you starting from scratch on literally everything like down to the grass and trees? Or using assets from something?

Gonna be quite some time. There's zero content it's just mechanics I'm implementing still since it's early early alpha. Also this is just a hobby I do after work so progress is pretty slow.

RNG mixing of:
[What plant eats, also determines sprite set used] [magic ability/effect plant has] [what happens when harvesting it] ---> [nastier traits give better Crop harvests]

Plan on having a lot of plant traits only available from seed interbreeding with the goal being wanting to combo plants near each other that complement each other as well as each food type needing player ways of handling. Like a plant that draws small animals to it is planted near one that eats meat. Or a plant that makes cloudy rainy weather with plants that hate the sun.

Gonna be quite awhile before I get that far but will prob try for a demo after that point.

What's a good place to start learning Unity? I downloaded 44 hours of tutorials (https://www.udemy.com/unitycourse/) and I have watched 5 of them so far, but I feel like they gloss over a lot.

If I didn't know about variables, classes, integers and all of that basic programming shit, I would've dropped it already.

>>389100112
those courses are pretty good to start off, they do drag on a lot even later on, from then it's basically up to you to decide to do something and google how
Unity's own tutorials are decent as well
