How easy would it be to learn UE if I start off with Unity and decide I need that superior rendering? I assume it's as easy as switching programming languages but asking just in case.

>that feel when

I have been trying to figure out how to get lighting to work in my 2D Unity game, but it seems it won't really work. I tried copying what dungeon of the endless was doing, but the colors were too far off and most things were not receiving enough light.

Should I just trash the idea of psuedo 2D with 3D lighting and just make my game legit 2D? I'm at a point where I need to make a decision on how I'm gonna build the environments in the game.

I thought lighting could be an easy way to spice up the environments, but it doesn't seem to be working out

If anyone has any tips on lighting, I've been trying to copy Dungeon of the Endless from their Unite presentation video. My issues so far have been that directional lights will light up the ground nicely, but the vertical meshes are pretty dark and act completely differently

Ask yourself if you really need the superior rendering and look up what unity can actually do. Tweaking settings you get some really nice looking lighting and shadows if you're not a retard. Sure it's not as good as UE4 but it still can look pretty damn good.

>just make some good yourself using language
aaaalrighty then

>>124275767
It's been a while since I watched that but didn't they use like an ambient light to set the basic unlit color and brightness and then use point lights to do the rest? IIRC they didn't use directionals at all.

>>124275767
you can use really low res light maps

if it fails just go with regular lightning

I'm like completely fucking new to developping, trying to understand Game Maker, it's a bit weird.

I watched some basic platformer tutorial that explained a bit how to manage basic collision with walls & ground - using place_meeting() to determine whether objects are colliding or not - and now I'm trying to have several different objects cause collision without needing to add all of their names into the function (say, two walls with different sprites)

How the fuck does that even work? Is there a way to not have to tell the game "player stops moving if he encounters that object, that object, this object, this one..." for every single object that might cause collision?

I imagined that having invisible "collision" objects would be a good idea, but for some reason, changing my object's sprite to not sprite causes all the physics to vanish (which I imagine is due to the object not having a size anymore), and an invisible sprite just shows as the previous sprite used.

You could use place_free instead.

Place_free checks if certain X/Y spot next to your object is "free" of any "solid" objects (as in, objects which have the "solid" checkbox ticked)

Hey guys, first time posting in one of these threads

I finally got off my butt and decided to try making something. I'm worried because I lack pretty much every skill used to make a game, but I figure I'm not going to get any of them sitting around so. But I do have some questions/would like some tips!

I have a concept for shmup that I'd like to make, but before I get into the nitty gritty I just want to make a simple prototype that nails the feeling of movement. I have very, -very- basic programming knowledge (statements, variables, simple loops), and past RPG Maker experience from years and years and years ago, so I thought I'd start with something super basic like GameMaker to get a feel for things

Anyway, some of my questions; How would I go about deciding a resolution for my game? And what's the thought process behind determining the sprite size of my player ship? I figure it would ideally be some ratio/fraction of the game's resolution as a whole, but I'm not sure how to go about it

Is there a preferred way I should go about setting up movement? There seems to be multiple ways to handle it in gamemaker, but I'm worried about running into weird collision bugs down the line

A bit far away, but how would I go about commissioning someone for sprite work? And any idea as to how much that might cost?

Thanks for any help! I'll definitely keep up with these threads and post progress. And I could go into detail about the overall concept of my game if anyone really cares

>>124279116

but really just work it out on paper or in your head.

Oh I see.

>>124279217
How old is that joke at this point?

How is it still going?

Is there like a place where people dump extracted game animations or something?

Animation's gotta be the hardest thing to improve simply because there's so little good stuff available on the internet for you to reverse-engineer, meanwhile there's free models everywhere for you to look at.

>>124279151
for spritework, look to your local college art department. offer lunches and a Hamilton now and then. there are a shit ton of people looking for artists, myself included. but college students work cheap. the only downside is that since they are "artists in training" it on't be superb work.

>>124277934

>>124279163

>>124294473
Nah, its just a normal grammar error. I wrote it up mainly just to get an idea of what the races should be. This is a winter jam game and it actually won't be that "world lore" heavy, just an adventure on a mountain. Here's the pre-race lore if your interested though.

In the beginning the world was created by the gods. Rabagog ripped out his still beating heart which bled molten rock forming crusts, volcanos, hills, valleys, mountains. Ijaya took out her eye and crushed it, spilling the juices into the valleys and hills, and covering the world with seas and rain. Bao gave her breath to create the winds and seasons, the changing of time. Lou’Shun gave his life and immortality to create the sun which shown light and power upon the world.Gulo gave his mouth, intestines, and stomach to feast upon the other gods to create life and death.

Life began to spring forth from the combinations of the gods. Forests, plants, and beasts spread to every inch of the world joining its cycle but none of the gods were pleased. These things did not give themselves like to gods did to create something of their own, they simply became part of the world itself, the gods began to devise another plan. Together the gods joined to create the Demigods; children which took material form on the mortal plane. The Demigods were gifted with free will, immortality through reincarnation and long life, and the power to create.

continued->

>>124294791
continued.

The Demigods took the form of greater beasts and beings of immense power in mortal form. They began to claim realms of their own and as they did they began to fight over their domains. This pleased the gods and they watched as the Demigods created more beings in their image to worship them and serve as servants. The Demigods began to plot with and against one another until finally Gabora, the child of Bao and Rabagog and the first Dragon, succeeded in doing the impossible by killing one of the other Demigods, his half sister Shaunta, daughter of Bao and Lou-Shun, the first of the Fae. The gods were furious and the precedent had been set that one day the game of Demigods could end. Demigods fell one after the other but at least many of the servants and children of the fallen Demigods remained. The gods devised a new plan that would change the face of the world forever.

Quickly lost interest there. I'm a pretty simple minded person, so if you care about writing for simple people like me you should keep the number of unknown elements to a minimum (no more than 3 usually).

Basically, when explaining a new fictional element, try to explain it only with elements that the reader should already know about (can be in real life terms, common fantasy trope terms, or elements that were already explained previously).

The human description was fine, because it only mentioned one unknown name.

I know you probably only posted this as an example, so it's not really representative of your game, but that's something you should pay attention to anyway

Can you take your light faggotry to /g/ where it belongs, please. Some of us are trying to make games here.

>>124295943
Go ask /g/.

>>124295943
If you don't know anything about programming then you should start with Game Maker or Unity or something like that. Making your own engine is a waste of time if you don't already have a very good idea of what you're doing.

>>124295717
I wouldn't worry about that for the winter jam game. This is the guiding premise I'm using to stay in scope.

White Howl Mountain is a text based role playing game where you create a character and try to find and stop the source of the terrifying howls that plague the residents on the base of White Howl Mountain. Be careful adventurer as the source of the howls are not your only enemy. Be wary of wolves and bears that stalk the night and the savage frost that creeps upon your bones. The nights get colder, darker and longer each day, and you fear that failing to stop the howls now may mean no more attempts for at least another season. So listen well adventurer, try and pick out the howl in the wind, follow it to the source and stop the chilling curse that lays upon the pointed peaks of White Howl Mountain.

I want to make text feedback in the game about you interacting with the world not the world telling you a story. I'll only find out if I'm successful when the game is finished and being played though.

>>124296258
That's definitely reasonable.

Is it supposed to shield ally ships too as a projector ship? If not then it makes no sense to have to so huge as it's essentially degraded from fire that wouldn't be a threat to the ship either way.

That was my mistake on the fact that the screen only goes dark like that when you are selecting the characters, to give focus on them, normally the room has regular lighting.

Already tried those, the problem is the distance from the sun is dynamic and the light volume would not be constant. Makes it harder to work with.

>>124298589
Are those cubes all the same mesh and set to static?

Do they have proper UVs and lightmap resolutions?

>>124299025
The cubes are default UE4 shapes, same mesh.
But you might've solved my issue. The things that are darkening properly are all set to moveable... So it's probably baked lighting that I don't actually want at all.

It's a isometric rpg-strategy-sandbox-roguelike, it's pretty much everything right now and we'll narrow down depending on how much money we get. If we fail with more than 20% we'll simply drop everything and create a new project, it's not worth trying to salvage something that doesn't get hype.

Goals for today;
-Fix it so that character sprites will always be facing the correct way through room changes (Possibly kill the sprite and redraw it on room creation? I don't know, I'll have to fiddle with it.)

-State that opens the command prompt; as well as basic string display and character portraits.

-Adjust walk cycle sprites and speed to more natural-looking, as well as code the checks to see which foot to stop on

-Expand inventory system, maybe? Right now it's just a basic global variable that determines whether you have an item or not; it's yet to be seen if that will get the job done the way I want it to. Might have to learn to use array's to do something more complicated.

Or you could just learn to deal with adversity without screaming or do your cartoons not teach you how to do that?

I downloaded unity as I'm interested in tinkering with it and see if I can come up with anything interesting.

My problem right now is the way tutorials are set up for unity don't really help my learning, I can't really tell which ones are for beginner outside of all the videos about the UI, which are cool but that information will never stick with me like that.

But I'll stick with it until I find a method that works, really I wish there were tutorials that explained the UI as you were building something, so it gives you a good context for each feature, there still might be something like that, I don't know.

Thx m8

No fuck this shit anti-anime posters wanted this. Let he who cast the first shitpost doom the thread.

Keep in mind that anime posters are angry and these faggots making the thread off topic shitstorms. These faggots are mad that sometimes on topic posts are accompanied by an anime reaction image, a convention that's used universally on 4chan.

>gril drawing porn
A lot of grils draw porn, m8. Probably more than men.

This is why it was a mistake for you to get wrapped up in social interaction. You should have known just to stay to yourself and your compiler mirite?

It wouldn't even be that bad if it was like that but she posted a literal female johj, if you know what a johj is.

I'm saying that literally nothing you do will stop anime posters from posting anime, its never worked for any board on 4chan, so by constantly bringing it up all your doing is actively shitting up the threads.

Why?

Last warning blake. Go back to r9k and stay there.

Here is some latest progress.

The throwing feels nice, but it just needs a little more detail.

Of course the object leaves will need some dust particles when the object lands. I think a little throwing animation will do wonders.

Anyone have tips for coding animations?

why are you feeding their mental illnesses? it's not nice.

I don't like being mean, but she should stick to gamedev.
She's not even gonna get pity faps with that stuff.

>Vine supposedly lives in an area right next to you.

I went to PHS though, I wonder if Vine went to GHS and was a fucking Tide, lamest mascot ever.
