Reposting in new thread
I added an indicator telling the player they need to do something to see more text.
I also did a lot of backend work

Future things to do is add a portait box that's optional and can automatically grab the right portrait given some variable (string name or id int) and a character name (to display under the portrait if I want)

From there I need to allow the chat box to flow into other events such as showing dialog options, or forcing the character to move, or anything else is a scripted event. This will probably be done by a simple delegate.

I'm thinking I could make a system of event objects that all have an entry point and an exit point and handle themselves properly. Then you can just drag different behaviours into each other to string them together.

>>123638381
That sure would be a lot of effort for something no one participates in.

>>123638531
In a normal game yeah, in Unity you have to take that array and construct a sprite that you can render.

Currently I have it set to automatically create a bunch of prefabs.
That image is literally hundreds of objects. Each grass tile is an object. Each tree trunk is an object. Each tree leaf bush is an object. etc

That's something I need to work on since developing like that is impossible.

>>123638524
Why do the trees look like they move from the beginning to the end of this webm? am I going cray?

ive made too many video games using math like addition. We need to revolutionize mathematical functions to truly make a new video game. perhaps ``quantum physics`` will have the answer. . .

>>123638714
very close colors to the background. would look really nice on a dark background though

>>123638738
Every tree has a script that randomizes their size by 5%, their color between white (base) and a provided color I give them, and their depth for drawing. At the beginning, they haven't randomized yet. After they have which is why they change drawing depths as well.

>>123638719
>developing like that is impossible
Why?

Just make them children to another ge object and it will look a lot cleaner.

You could always just tile the age on a plane or quad.....

I did consider working towards a sailboat and finding some shitty sandbar island to squat on for vacationing. y'know, just kinda claiming it and building a primitive shack to chillaxe in. my actual work is near a canal too and it's flanked by parks with "shores" so in theory I could sail to work on a small enough vessel assuming I don't get arrested by the coast guard

>>123638937
This is what I'm doing right now

Currently I have a script that generates a bunch of sprites in a huge grid. Each of them has a script that I can set an Enum to. When I hit "Generate" on the main script, all those objects that have their Enum set are replaced with Prefabs. It's super cluttery and each prefab requires a ridiculous amount of time and takes a ridiculous amount of resources to handle by the game for what I want it to do

The solution is to generate one massive sprite, or smaller sprites out of a tilesheet.

There are paid solutions, but I want to try making a free one first.

>>123639073
Nice, pretty cool but not sure how you interact with the inventory

>>123639073
This looks aesthetic as fuck. hope you have some dark areas in the future

>>123639165
Why are you instantiating them all at runtime...?

If you really need to why not make an object pool and instantiate them all at start instead of when its running

>>123639392
>If you really need to why not make an object pool and instantiate them all at start instead of when its running
Also that wouldn't really do anything
That's not how object pools are used

Object pools are for objects that are going to be destroyed and recreated often. If you need to create an object beyond the pools limit, it doesn't gain you any benefit. Pools only come in handy when you've destroyed previous objects and you want to create new ones.

>tfw hard captchas because too much posting

>>123639432

>>123639558
I feel like you would benefit if the dark accents on the white areas werre darker grey, but what do i know?

>>123639579
You can use an object pool for a scrolling map too

>>123639073
That's a pretty juicy inventory.
Will it pause the game when you access it, or will you need to be out of combat before messing with it?

I picked up FL Studio today and made my first three songs. I'd imagine they're pretty babby-tier, and I know for a fact I have a lot more work to do on them, but I'm pretty proud of learning the software so quickly and cranking out a couple of pleasant-sounding songs.

Does anyone have some guides or lectures on musical theory and construction? I have a ton to learn on this sorta' thing.

>>123644661
About on par with my crap. For where you're at it's pretty decent.

Problem is making shit more complicated without getting assy. FL makes it really easy to make simple songs that sound decent enough... but then there's a wide gap between that and a solid track.

>>123644246
I'm really a sucker for nice red shades like that. Keep going.

Also, do players generally find very small playable characters annoying? I know that in RoR the sprites were around 10x10 or something, but it seems like hopoo got away with it well enough.

>>123644817
Yeah, that's the problem - Even though I think they're pretty listenable, it's glaringly obvious they're made by an amateur behind a shitty synth program.

Just a bit of hot opinion here, but I think you should scale it relative to the character instead of the whole world, like in Fig 1. You don't need that much world information, but you need more character information. Also make your world space smaller, that seemingly simple room seems absolutely cavernous like that. When I said it was charming I meant with fig 2's sense of scale.

yeah, i haven't worked on indoor sizes yet, that's a test interior (also that repetitive texture is different now)

most buildings will be much smaller on the inside to try and match the outside as close as i can

>>123644661
Learn about melody, what chords are, chord progressions, shit like that. Then move on to other stuff. Pick up an instrument. Even just 2-3 months of learning an instrument can yield great results to your own music. Learn some stuff before you even try to make music. Don't expect results fast.

I kind of like them, there's that dissonance and drone to them that fits your aesthetic.

>>123644661
>>123646293
I'd like to stress that I highly highly reccomend learning an instrument when starting out. When you do that not only do you learn the basics, but you also gain the intuition. I can't really explain that to you, but you learn how to improvise, recognize harmonies, and really you can kind of envision things better and won't feel really limited. I use to think that because I would be writing a lot of the songs on the computer, I wouldn't need to learn an instrument. So I cut my piano lessons after about 4 months. It's something I really regret to this day, but even that 4 months gave me the ability to harmonize the melodies in my head, gave me a sort of picture of how music overall is structured, and set the groundwork for me to delve even further into my knowledge.

It's difficult to get around the fact that larger armies and better equipment is better. I'm not sure what you want out of that. Is there any games you know of that do it differently? A concrete example.

>>123648473
It is difficult but it's your job as a game designer to create good game mechanics that let someone with high skill level defeat an unskilled player even if they have a handicap. If someone can use superior strategy to overcome overwhelming numbers then your game has made it.

This sounds very very bad, basically like someone is flailing on the instrument without any thought put into it whatsoever. As others have said, look up some music theory lectures on youtube or something, learn chords. Its pretty fucking easy to do. Music is much easier than art assets imo.

I assure you it has nothing to do with the size of my byte. It is far larger than 8-bit. Floats are just more precise when it comes to pleasure.

Seems like a bad idea. The important thing in a 4x is the war, not the battles. 4x games with too much combat depth drag on when lots of battles are happening. Gotta be snappy.

The skill lies in getting a bigger army than the other guy in the first place. It's not a tactics genre.

>>123648669
fukken nailed it

>>123648708
And that's a shit gameplay mechanic.

Just because that's how it is right now, doesn't mean it's the way it should be.

You can have a combat that's fast, requires skill and gives you benefit if your army is bigger.

Reminder most games sell 500-1K copies regardless of quality or price on Steam. A large portion are RPG maker games.

Grab the cash while you can

>>123648708
That's why most 4x games suck ass. They don't put any effort into good combat even though combat is a huge part of the game.

Why aren't more amateur devs making pc board games/games with board game mechanics?
Advantages:
1. Quick and easy to code. Fast to prototype and fast to finish.
2. Art isn't even mandatory if your game is good, but still helps.
3. Gameplay is king. Imagination is your limit. You can go hog wild with the mechanics.

To be quite honest none of that is particularly difficult or even much different from any other game.

The only thing that is really different is the high poly mesh but there are even AAA devs saying "Fuck it", only doing that for a tiny portion of their models.

Especially on consoles. That's the reason why anything besides the character models in CoD looks like complete ass.

there's also a shitload of asset recycling. The MP5 remained completely unchanged from its CoD4 iteration, except for the MP5k in Black Ops. The M4 never got a mesh update until after MW3.

I want to make a free game, but with a cosmetic shop like many games have these days. If you get on Steam does it have any payment integration for you to use? I know they'd take a cut of those sales.

Some tweaks to character movement that make it feel a little more fluid.

In the vein of Mario 64, the character now takes time to rotate to the movement direction, and walks in the direction he's facing until then (so turning around means running in a little circle). This behavior is overridden when in 2D OR when the gun is equipped to make those feel snappier.

Also, a la KH3, you can now slide down slopes. This isn't actually a new movement mode, it's just a new animation for walking when the player's movement direction slants downward enough. Also when moving downward in this way the player's max walk speed slowly increases (so sliding down hills enables you to accelerate a little bit).

This, when combined with the automatic wall slide mechanics, makes sliding down long slides really feel good. The player can steer when the surface is flat enough and otherwise remains static.

Still to do is to disable no-input braking (i.e. once you start sliding, you continue, even if you let off the stick), not necessarily forever so much as to see if it feels okay. Right now you can actually slide-into-walk on a slope by changing direction, I'm not sure if I really want to deprive the player of the ability to stand on a downward slope just yet.

ribbed for her pleasure
i have no idea why this is happening

maybe for sliding controls you could have it so that when you're sliding, letting go of the stick doesn't slow you down but pushing in the uphill direction does and eventually stops you if the incline allows for it

will do

why when i delete something from unity project assets it cant go to trash
i deleted wrong script and now i cant find it in my project files or trash
i have a backup but this would fucking suck if i didnt

You can set up unity assets to be text too... There's no excuse...

Damn those crystals are nice

There are backups actually, or autosaves. You probably find it somewhere in appdata on windows if i remember correctly. But you shouldn't delete shit you need in the first place mate, why would you do that. I mean you don't just accidently rightclick and hit delete, especially because it even asks if you are sure that you want to delete something.

This isn't a terrible idea, but it's sort of counterintuitive since pushing up the hill would be expected to rotate you in that direction (which it does, it just rotates you until your slide naturally becomes a walk).

Actually, that may work okay with the skid logic though; the animation would probably blend nicely with the current "switch-directions-really-fast-and-skid" movement, so holding directly against the slope of the hill would have you "brake" by flipping around and skidding, which would leave you standing again.

Not that anon, but I can't afford a git.

I actually wish I could, source control seems invaluable.

>>123665809
...you can't afford to make a free account on github or bitbucket?
