its been a week since I last devved

my game and the code has been sitting open on my desktop the whole time

how do I just like make game

>>122501449
I took a 2 month break. It killed 5 years of momentum.

DONT STOP.

>>122501449
just drop it and start a new project. You have obviously lost all motivation for that game, no reason to let it suffer like an injured dog. Just close the window, delete the project, and start a new. Just do this a lot, and don't ever stop devving, eventually you'll finish a game surely .

>>122501449

>don't worry you'll get used to it
There's nothing to get used to here if you're not going to get any reply when you post progress. That was supposed to be the whole point of an amateur game development general.

I'm just going to get a list of all the real devs and follow them in their own website or tumblr.

Listen bud, everyone here can tell your a millennial. Just because you post progress doesnt guarantee replies. While your progress may mean a lot to YOU, you have to also remember that most people will not see it as that important. In all likely hood, your progress isn't even what most people here consider to be 'progress'. Getting up in the morning and opening an IDE isnt progress. You have to make it interesting for people, or they are not going to reply. The reason people reply to the shitposters is because usually the stuff they most is outlandish and dramatic, which is interesting to humans, just look at things like tabloids. You have to bring something to the table with your shit, or people simply wont care. Go ahead and post your progress. Having a webm helps, cause people like to see stuff in action. But posting a picture of some enemy design you made or some new art work that looks like shite probably isn't going to get you very far. Think with your head man. Ask yourself, what do the people, the consumer of my media, want to see? And try to deliver that. You don't have to change your game concept to fit popular opinion, but you gotta make it something that the average person here will care enough about to take the time out of THEIR day to reply to it. No one is entitled to replies.

Could anyone briefly say if an idea I had is good or bad? I'm actually serious about it -- I've been learning C++ for this reason.

It's essentially: you're born in 10000 BCE, you're visited by the last human alive who is suffering from the end of the Universe (entropy), and he gives you a pill that makes you immune to aging (not violence or other death).
You then can either influence humanity from the shadows, assuming fake identities every lifetime, or you can become a world leader and dictator. If you become famous but don't "die" normally, a leader would get suspicious and you'd be on the operating table.
You can influence:
--religion
--government
--technology
--science and medicine
--culture and the arts
--weaponry and war

once per 5 years. You could max out religion in the early BCs and be a prophet and later use that power to enact a second coming, or you could invent things early on and set humanity forward.

The thing is that there are certain "milestone conditions" -- you can't get funds for your entropy research if you're not skilled in physics and at least a little influential in government.

The win condition is you have to have a sustainable amount of entropy production that will last humans a trillion years.

Heavily based on The Final Question. It'd be in the rough style of Plague, Inc.

Nignog, this is a story and not a game idea.

To make it a game idea you have to define terms you use, such as:
>assuming fake identities, become this that
how do you do that? type "become chinese warlord"?
>max out religion
is it a stat? what actions cause it to change, what other stats are there
>die
how do things that cause your death happen, random encounters while you're managing your stats?

>>122507051
srs ansr
It sounds nice for a simulation game, but you might want to break it down some more. Like, what is Entropy? How do I get it? What's the limit? Can I increase that limit? What can I use it on?

What are the consequences of doing X as opposed to Y? Can I advance this world beyond what was established in the real world? Can I introduce science in an era where science was considered witchcraft? Can I prevent the discovery of something that changes the world?

Will the world continue to move when I'm "dead"? How will the world continue? Will it be based on RNG, my influences, or something scripted? How will the world evolve if I do nothing?

Can I affect the entire world or just this one region? Can other regions oppose me or follow me? Can I go against myself in another life (assuming another identity years later)?

If you don't break it down into what-ifs, you'll be chasing a concept that may be far beyond your reach. You might want to bounce your ideas off writers and not developers, however.

I'm a beginner to coding and I heard I should start with Python, because it's easier to learn. But it seems there aren't many games, or famous software that use it, so i'm not really sure if I should dedicate my time to learn a language I won't use

I wanted to learn C++ but that definitely isn't for begginers

Time to dev, eh?

>>122510292
Tbqh there isn't really any beginner languages there are just different paradigms and levels of abstraction and different kinds suit different people or projects best.

It's not so bad, you just have to be sharp. No facebook if you're going to put your real name out there, make sure you're not listed on whitepages or other listing sites, if you're going to have a youtube clean up your google+ settings so people can't view your posts, friends in your circles, things like that. Never photograph your face or your home or property nearby you and if you do do not post it on 4chan unless you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing. Don't befriend or be social with family members on your youtube either, don't let them comment on your stuff for example. You have to be your own separate entity.

I just had an idea. What if, instead of picking a rotation + position you want the weapon to try to reach manually by dragging the gizmos around, you only get to select from a handful of cards which you draw.

I.e. "1 unit back", "rotate 45 degrees on y axis", e.t.c.

It's too late. I'm already being stalked by people from this thread. I can't shake them. They even follow me to other boards!

>>122518964
With a big enough hand size, you could probably keep it reasonably fair.

Or you could even make it a deck-building kinda game, where part of the skill is in arranging your deck so that no matter how it's shuffled, you always have reasonable options. Kinda like playing Magic or Pokemon TCG or w/e

>>122518964
RNG will affect the final outcome somewhat, but if you plan different sequences of cards depending on what your opponent does, and take calculated risks which will require a certain card to be drawn, the better player will win the majority of the time.

it's actually not random at all and the key problem of quantum mechanics is that you cannot measure things at the smallest scales because to measure them is to interact with the system, which is to change the system, which is to absolutely ruin any notion of knowing what the fuck was going on before you came by kicking all the particles around like you're a big man

it's a metaphysical problem rather than one of "normal" physics

a good analogy from heisenberg's "Physics and Philosophy" is that it's like taking a ruler to something; to measure an object with a ruler, you are likely to touch the object. the ruler has been effectively added to the object. we just don't care at that sort of human-appreciable scale because the ruler doesn't have that much of an effect on the object being measured. but it would be dishonest to say you haven't moved the object slightly, that the weak forces of the ruler and the object aren't interacting, etc. for example, if you press a ruler to a page, you'll bend or scrape the page a bit. it's not a big enough change to care about, but it is large enough to be appreciable

however, in quantum physics, to measure the position or speed or whatever of the smallest particles/measures of energy, you can't get that information except by changing the system and recording subsequent changes. quantum physics is entirely deterministic, it's just that you can't figure out a lot of information of what was going on before you started fucking around with lasers and shit tryna act like you know what's hood

http://tinysubversions.com/spelunkyGen/

>>122526757
Do like Spelunky does: Slap hand-made chunks together to craft the levels. Everything will flow better and feel more intentional, while still being fresh between playthroughs.

You can either have pieces that will always fit together (harder in that you have to acertain that by hand)

OR

Have pieces and then punch holes connecting them when you "generate" the map (slightly harder to code).

you have no idea what you're doing

make a smaller looping texture

then, make a transparent "damaged area" overlay

then, instead of a fucking 44kb image, you can have a 64x64 looping tile and four 32x32 overlays instead of a fucking 1024x576 image

this is literally worse than that guy whose song was too short for the intended playtime of his halloween jam game so instead of looping it in the game he manually lengthened it from 2 minutes to 15

I actually got quite a lot of dev done yesterday/the day before while making the videos.

My shit connection means I have a good couple of hours of dev time per video to dev.

Dev on Vampire of the Sands done in that time:
* Added a stamina bar
* Changed tumble to be stamina based
* Changed tumble to be instant rather than have a wait (which was bumming players out)
* Changed treasure chets to consolidate stacked items of the same type to lower player keypresses needed
* Added auto-pickup (and relevant menu settings) for players who don't want to click all the time
* Made the dash when using a sword make you invinsible for a short period
* Fixed a slew of graphics bugs I created when fixing my multiple-resolution support

If you jump directly into OpenGL you can just draw it in 3D onto the surface of the cube.

* Monsters now have tells rather than just fucking your shit
* There's a normal mode (3 hearts + 1 extra heart for every boss, heal by grabbing souls) on top of the hardcore 1 hit kill mode

>>122534308
Well, no. Game development. It doesn't matter very much though, I basically failed my required high school CS course and that's all the exposure I've had. I guess I'm just asking for a combination of a program/suite/compiler? (I don't know what I'm talking about; I remember in CS we used eclipse for java) and a manual that would let me learn the basics of programming to lead in to making my own vidyer.

>>122534157
A book
An IDE + compiler

Depends on the language.

Heads First is pretty alright for a bunch of languages, if you can swallow your pride. Although they're cheesy as fuck it aids in learning.

>>122534589
you should probably pick a game framework/engine first, as that will limit your language/IDE choices.

Well I guess since it doesn't seem to matter very much which language I start with I'll just download Eclipse and Heads First Java. Thanks boys.

>>122536957
Dithering
Back to Last Page> Full Glossary>

Definition: Dithering scatters different colored pixels in an image to make it appear as though there are intermediate colors in images with a limited color palette. (Continued below...)

Your operating system will automatically dither images when your display settings are set to 256 colors or less. Dithering is often used to reduce banding in GIFs with graduated color transitions. Most software provides options that let you control the appearance of the scattered pixels; for example, the dithering can be a rigid pattern, random noise, or diffusion. Keep in mind that dithering often increases the file size of an image, but in many cases the improved appearance is worth the trade-off. Below are several examples of different types of dithering. The last example is is not dithered. Notice the changes in file size for the various types of dithering.

Problem solved! Perhaps something more stylish (spikes? spirals? ???) could work too. Maybe.

Fix the outline and desaturate the shit out of the colors then redraw the whole thing from scratch.

Look up a line-art tutorial. You should try to keep it 1 width all around (your line gets fatter when you change directions, which looks bad).

I'm not entirely sure what this thread is even used for/allows but maybe you guys can help.

As you can see, my code for having my zombies follow my player is absolutely horrendous.
Any advice on how to make it better?

At the moment they just shake between +1 and -1 of whatever the player coords are, and the zombies all eventually merge into a single spot if they are going the same speed.

I don't need code. Just some sort of idea on how to begin fixing it.

the random generation part isn't hard, it's basically shuffling a deck of cards
the hard part is building the deck in the first place

I deleted some frames and it feels better.

That shit that was pure black (avoid pure black) doesn't really make sense. Dunno what to do with it, removing it entirely would be better.

>>122540465
I just realized, the legs/feet are weird as heck...

>>122539990
The spearhead is already comically large just in the thumbnail. In the actual animation, the head gets even larger to the point where it looks more like a shovel than a spear.

>>122540465
luks gud

>>122540624
Oh I thought it was a shovel... That'd be a really weird attack for a spear.

>>122540764
Well the filename is "spear attack.gif"
It it's a shovel then it's fine.

>>122539990
>>122540465
I'm no artist, but in the frame(s) where the spear is pointing down, make the head pointier.
It looks great when held directly straight, but too shovel-like when aimed down. Especially when moving in that way.
