stop being such a debby downer.

You have to give me 1 valid reason why paying taxes is a good idea.

>>123878282
the money theoretically goes to Nice Things like maintained roads and cheap schooling

america is a shithole tho and doesnt count, but taxes work in other countries

>>123878282
If you don't pay now, you will either pay much more later on or you will go to jail. Probably both.

>>123878345
I don't use roads.

I spend all my life inside my house.

I'm seeing a lot of tax talk and no games that will cause you to have to pay taxes.

Post progress

Worked a little bit with this today.

Terrain just there so it can stand somewhere. Final will probably be up on a mountain or so.

First thing next week: Switch to Unreal Engine 4.
Really excited for that. Best of all is that I don't have to use Unity's terrain editor anymore. Not badmouthing that engine, but that editor really is a piece of trash and should've been redone with U5.

>>123878170
'discipline' is a euphemism for "just fucking do it right now"
it's not some magic, intangible thing you acquire after a period of time

literally just start doing things. Put 4chan in another workspace, on the backburner

Not him, but the only gameplay issue I personally have with KF is that the control scheme is horrid

>check out the forums because I really liked C:BtW and they announced it as basically a C:BtW Remake
>they're full of manchildren that are assblasted their unrealistic expactions about it being a super realistic real-time grand strategy tactic game in which they can live out their fantasies of conquering the world as whatever little shithole they call home that nobody cares about and probably didn't even exist as an actual nation back then aren't fulfilled
>literally pages of people being mad that cannon crews aren't in the game and spouting shit like "consumers of 2015 will not stand for this" and acting all entitled to whatever super specific thing they have in mind for the game

this is your audience

>>123879696
Yeah maybe it's the control scheme but it made the gameplay very unfun and clunky, especially against enemies with a lot of hp

>>123879813
I think if it was sped up a bit to be more like Dark Messiah it would be vastly improved

Well it did work for Dark Messiah of Might & Magic and Hexen.

Certainly not going for an absolute carbon copy of KF. Especially with the combat system.

I basically want it to be easy to control but have a bit of weight (i.e. not as floaty as any of the titels I named - but bascally going down a more FPS like road with the control scheme).

Normally you're supposed to start on the 14th, but the 'you can start early. I won't judge too much' seems to have been taken as everyone can start now.

Why?

>>123887667
The more adaptive, the more wasteful. It's not worth it if you can just provide a settings menu so that the user can pick their favourite costly effects. For example, I hate motion blur, so I can get an FPS increase and more pleasing visuals without sacrificing anything else.

>>123887786
Though not for this reason. You could keep everything in memory, but still, swapping textures in and out of samplers (on non-bindless hardware) is a significant cost.

How does this look? What can I work on?

>>123888072
Those parameters alone won't give you significant control over FPS. It's things like draw calls and fill rate that are the most important.

Well it's hard to not be bland with "fake real" fantasy/medieval yurope, I'd say the issue here is that everything looks too "new" maybe add some details and less perfect outfits.

Good points:
- not failing for too generic tropes
- no retarded boobs armor
- face is not too impersonal while still qt
- colors are bretty good

Bad points:
- too clean
- the sword design is pretty boring, same for the pouch
- design is not very uniform (the scarf is a culprit here imo)

female players are usually hot as fuck and as an umbrella loser you get to stand close enough to smell their sweat and all

For all you guys getting discouraged with your gamedev, have you thought about giving your irl environment a little change? Maybe try listening to some empowering music or something besides just the same old stuff you normally listen to.

Personally, I find female-empowering music to be really helpful for staying motivated while I'm working on my game. You should give it a listen at least once. Maybe something like this?

the characters are 3D models with skeletal animation, with very little width on the z axis so they look flat (scaled on the z axis in unity, wider gaps in the modeling software for easier editing)
the items are billboards/sprites (just a quad mesh with the UVs set to a small portion of a texture sheet)

>>123893385
Sort of. Python is usually cited as a decent language to learn how to program (dynamically typed and imperative without being as poorly-designed as JS), but PyGame is incredibly out of date and the language is slow. So don't expect to be able to stick with it.

because skeletal animation on a 2D(ish) model is easy to do. As far as I know, you can't get smooth animations like this with just sprites unless you're using something like Spine, but that's not much different from what I'm doing
but they basically are just drawings/sprites, it's just a lot of them moving independently from one another

I've played this game.

The controls suck and the design is sparse, to put it most directly. There's alot of noise with the walls drawn the way they are but the levels themselves are repeated hazards / mechanics ad nauseum. If you flood filled all collision areas you'd have the blandest, most generic platformer ever created.

Exactly. Only people who have had weak emotional development in their lives would like Undertale. And at 20 it's very easy to not be significantly emotionally developed. For instance, people who tend to insult other's tastes based on their maturity ("ADHD children") are most likely to be immature themselves, because who doesn't understand that people have different tastes? If I had one advice to give you is to meet people who are a lot different from you in how they think and act. That's the only way you'll grow up, kiddo.

I might make a game using this stuff then.

How should I store tile-types in a tile-based C++ game?
Each tile-type should have at least two bools and a char associated with it. Should I make the "database" an actual file, or hardcode the values?
If I decide to harcode the values, how would I do that?
If I decide to make an external file for the values, what language should I use? (json?)

>>123899836
If you want to put a map in a file, you should probably just make a binary file. Serializing that is a bit too expensive.

you should make a game with a faction whose only goal is to destroy all media because because why should people of the future get to our stuff when we won't be able to enjoy their stuff? but then as the plot unfolds you learn that actually, in reality, the leader of the faction is a time traveler who is trying to prevent the next hitler without straight up killing the next hitler because the the time traveler knows that the next hitlers main motivation is music of the past. but then a new time traveler shows up claiming that the next hitler is necessary because he'll eventually motivate humanity to become a space-faring species. but how did that time traveler know that you were planning to stop the next hitler? will you destroy all media to stop the next hitler without causing any deaths? what if the original time traveler is lying to you and the actual cause for the next hitler is the boring world you create by destroying all media?

>>123896937
Oh! Very clever, I'll have to remember that trick.

I'm writing an engine in C++. Should i include glm in it? Seems like a bad idea to add useless dependencies.
If you want to pass vectors and matrices to an object, how would you do it without glm?
Pointers? Kind of like what glUniform* does?

>>123899836
>Should I make the "database" an actual file, or hardcode the values?
Up to you, although it's unlikely that you'll be changing them much, unless they're associated with a graphical tileset.
>If I decide to harcode the values, how would I do that?
Use an array, or even better, a constexpr function from ID to tile type data.
>If I decide to make an external file for the values, what language should I use? (json?)
JSON is probably overkill for something simple like what you want. A file with this format is probably enough.

>>123900257
>Should i include glm in it? Seems like a bad idea to add useless dependencies.
If you're okay with reimplementing linear algebra yourself, sure.
>If you want to pass vectors and matrices to an object, how would you do it without glm?

I typically use templates so I can have Vector<3> or Matrix<4, 4>. They just internally wrap up an array or SSE values.

I think you should be able to make things pixel perfect without having them jitter a pixel up and down when they should be stuck to the same plane. Seems like you're rounding things after scaling up instead of drawing everything 1:1 to a surface and scaling that up.

Right, so basically what i need to do, is store arrays instead of glm::mat4.
Like in a camera class for the view matrix.

>>123900437
No the user could still use glm, they would just need to use glm::value_ptr on a non-temp object or something.
No need to reimplement it. The problem is, if the user wanted to pass a temp object, it wouldn't work.
Something like camera.setMatrix(glm::mat4(1)); would result in a compile error.
