Why can players change abilities mid game like that?
Also how easily can the players heal themselves? I'd say keep it at 50, to prevent possible scumming of switching abilities around.

Real video game developers make their own sandwich

At least he's not cramming his gay little yesdev youtubes in the OP anymore. Not that this is much better. IRC failures should stay in IRC.

Game idea: A woman has to make her man a sandwich. The woman plays against the sandwich components, who have to avoid being assembled by her. The player can play as either the woman or the sandwich, with the other role played by AI, or two people can play against each other. Rips off Surgeon Simulator controls for the woman, and I Am Bread controls for the sandwich.

The controversy from the sandwich-making woman alone will sell millions!

Those were bad times. We're not going back to that. Weebs camp out in hopes of sneaking their shitty unrelated anime OPs in and all lurkers will follow them because they made the thread first. The only way to beat them is to make new threads ridiculously early which we stopped doing a long time ago as it just got ugly.

I've put my project on the backburner for the last few months to try and learn sprite art. I have come to the conclusion that I cannot into art plus the constant reminder that time I spend on art can be spent on the actual game.

Where can I find artists for reasonable prices? I don't really want to just aimlessly look through deviant/tumblr to find artists and ask them to work on the project and the pastebin seems to be more geared to finding devs/musicians.

Which of the examples in the picture has the best versions of the letters?

alright so there is no such thing as pixel art,its not really been documented and i really tried to find any literature on it

my conclusion is that pixel artists use ref from actual 2d characters,pick their palette and style and simply draw the same shading and highlights just pixels,the anatomy and structure still applies to pixel art, some people even make high res pixel art which i find really hard to make

here are some people you might turn to, not all of them are pros so they might not be available for some time

I just noticed how off the PR is, I'll fix that as well as the A.

I chose predicate because I like the word, it sounds nice, and because it's still slightly math related. I'm happy with it. Probably would prefer some fractal related thing but whatever.

Is there a middleground between OOP and ECS?

>>122264452
ECS is only good for the highest level of an engine, it manages the interconnect between each true engine

Something more procedural may be better for resource management

Literally just do whatever the fuck you want

I doubt it, but if you don't believe you'll be able to get around it by censoring better you could always take some pointers from the hordes of shitposters here and start evading bans.

That's actually amazing.
Each time there's an anime OP, we literally have 100 posts of the same guy(s) complaining about it.
100 posts that they could use to, like, post progress instead.

So what game inspired you to get into gamedev, if any?

Any other unityfags out here using photon for multiplayer?

Working on it at the moment, my game is a 2d platforming multiplayer type thing and im having trouble making other player movement smooth, so far i can either make other players appear jerky and accurate or smoothish but lagging behind slightly, what are the best transform settings for smooth animation in a 2d game where the player can accelerate and decelerate when he moves

also had a few issues with animations not playing for other players, should i use photon animator view or focus on using PhotonView.RPC in the scripts which call the animations themself

>low poly man
Anon I don't think you know what low poly is.

Posted this in the last thread but no-one cared but; how do I into serialization in C++?


Basically; I'm using an entity component system to model objects. So you wanted to make an object that is a shirt:

You would have an object of say, clothing, then you would give it attributes of [upperbody], [material = wool] and so on.

This is all fine. My problem is that I want to store the info about these attributes in a text file, then read it in on the fly. In particular I'd like to be able to call a function like GetDescription which outputs a text description based on whatever attributes an item has: "This is a $wool $shirt it is $something and $somethingElse"

I've looked at a bunch of stuff for this like YAML and JSON but it all seems like I'd have to write a pretty hefty serializer or include a serious amount of bullshit third party code to get anything out of it...

How do other games manage this?

If anyone has played it, the kind of modelling I'm looking for here is something akin to how they do it in EU4 and Crusader Kings; although I believe they used YAML for the static text and then wrote their own serializer for the logic files (countries/decisions etc.).

Any ideas? Should I expect better from /agdg/ than actually wanting to discuss game programming?

With graphics like that, it's really a shame. Reminder to prioritize gameplay over everything else always.

>>122273571
you could keep it laggy/jerky and then later smoothen it out using simple interpolation

>>122273751

>>122273751
>Reminder to prioritize gameplay over everything else

Prioritize gameplay at the start of the project, get a solid fun working game as soon as you can. Then after it's solid you can start adding more content and start prioritizing art and music more.

>>122273571

good morning AGDG

Today our task is simple, to make progress.
this word might be sensitive to you so we'll say "pushing gnomes" for now.
If you're already pushing gnomes then feel free to stop reading now.


pushing gnomes may seem like an impossible task at times, you become distracted, bored, stuck or confused.
But do not get upset! this happens to the best of us, we all stop pushing gnomes at some point.
Today what i want us to do is, write down a task to complete in your game, it could be anything you choose but it has to be something you 100% you can get done today.
It could be the easiest thing you can think of, but try to challenge yourself if you feel confident!
So with that in mind, on a PHYSICAL piece of paper or sticky note.
leave it on your desk or around your workspace, we want this note to be the wheels on your cart to push gnomes with.
Now at this point you have two choices

>leave your house
go out have lunch somewhere you've never tried take a walk through a park, go for a jog. do something outside at least for 30 minutes to an hour.

don't feel obligated to work on your task right away, all you need to do is believe that you can finish it by the end of your day.

If you have completed your task then feel free to reply to this post and your pushed gnomes.

If you don't then explain why in as many words as possible.

I wish you all the best of luck!

That's what they get for wanting $15 for an unfinished, unpolished early-access game. If they lowered the price to $10 or even $5, they would have made up for the difference with increased sales.

>>122277046
>I have a degree in Steam™ economics

>>122273692
You practically got it right yourself: most games indeed just include a YAML/JSON/XML library and the only alternative is to put a lot of effort into making your own serializer.

>>122276919
maybe because games like that come out everyday and people are tired of them?
also 15 for that garbage is a little too much

I think I know exactly what answer I'll get, but I want to ask anyways.

Currently my textures are nothing but straight, clean lines, line seen in the bottom object. The other day I decided to fuck around and make some crude stairs, and I think it turned out alright. I tried reworking the train car to look similar, but I'm not sure whether I should stick with the crude, almost painted style or not.

So sloppy textures or clean textures?

>>122278396
A happy medium between those two would be great. The top one looks way too messy to feel stylish.

>>122278396
I'd say you should use crude textures whenever crude craftsmanship would be logical and precise textures whenever precise craftsmanship would be logical, for instance a humble house would have a crudely made chair with crudely drawn textures.

I doubt it. There have been numerous killings since whichever one it was that he portrayed. At least one every day in America, I've heard.

How do I compensate a sprite's origin when rotating a sprite in SFML so that the position is around the center rather than top-left corner?

>>122279809
I think you're being a bit too specific to get a meaningful answer on AGDG. Try the SFML documentation instead.

>>122279659
>public gamejams
sounds dumb, why would I want to gamejam away from my comfy computer?

>>122279809
sprite.setOrigin(arguments here, look it up)

You should try the doc before asking retarded questions.

>>122279896
No, it's not about the API, it's strictly a math issue.

>>122279941
I know how to set the origin and as per the documentation and as I stated - it changes the origin relatively to the top-left corner, I want to figure out a formula to calculate the axis difference when you rotate an object (since it's not going to be static). See >>122279959

>>122279959
what math issue, once you change a sprite's origin, the position will be that origin and rotation will already be around that origin, what compensation would you need?

>>122280034
you mean you want a value of the angle at which the sprite has been rotated?

Gamemaker is 50% price right now by the way.
Sadly, not the master collection though

>>122280070
>>122280142
I think I just missunderstood the concept of the origin and that depending on the angle I'd have to set a different origin offset to keep the sprite within the same boundaries.

>>122280320
nope, you're all set.

>>122280178
Isn't that still hundreds? I got it for $6 + $6 for Android.
I feel bad for anyone that missed that deal.

You say that as if it's a bad thing. As if there aren't several highly successful games made with GM.

I can't figure out how to script a 3d translation thingy properly and I haven't found any decent documentation/tutorials on how to do it. Right now my biggest issue is transforming a screen point to a 3d point on the axis' line (see pic related). I just need to get the distance so I can use ScreenToWorldPoint.

Maybe I'm going about this all wrong

It's probably easier to project the line to 2D, since the mouse position does describe a point in 2D and finding the closest point on a line to another point is easy.

I go that far, but how do I convert the 2D point back to the correct point on the 3D axis?

That sounds neat, I know very little about games in general, but have been passing around an idea of an isometric MMO (many abilities, relies heavily on teamwork, single-world, RP, gear-system), aiming for MOBA-style combat (low cooldowns, skill-shot based abilities, next-to-impossible to do 100% perfectly).

I remember having to write 1000 word essays in school. Everything I could talk about was only 500 words so I bullshited for the rest of the essay. Teacher said "that was a great essay anon". lel

Well that's pretty much how most of school is. You just add a lot of filler words in between your sentences so it makes you look more educated and hit the word count.

good luck anon, all the tutorials are garbage video tutorials. I hate video tutorials and all I can seem to find for unity is video tutorials. Even worse it's those tutorials that were initially streams so I have to watch him fuck around for 5 minutes, get something wrong and try to figure out what he did wrong.

Or he's talking to someone in chat but I can't see the chat so I'm completely left out of the conversation, or constantly reminding the chat to be civil and eventually you realized you spent 35 minutes reading 6 minutes of content.

It's why I jumped to monogame even with it's shitty documentation. At the very least I can figure out what's going on instead of looking at alien runes on unity.

Thanks, these look really good

Yeah, I hate video tutorials as well. I find it a lot easier to digest written + you're not stuck working at someone else's pace. I looked at one of the recorded stream tutorials and it was even worse than the rehearsed one, guy kept making typos and going off on a tangent.

Why would you need to?

Archeblade seems closer, but I'm imagining no normal attacks and the spells being bigger then what I just watched. Is that really all there is in this genre?
