What's the engine that CoC uses? Text based game with some room for combat stats and stuff I currently have planned. I want to make a game with dungeon crawling, base building, and some other memes.

I'd appreciate any help.

Just bought the domain for my game name
Now I realize I have no idea how to make a site.
I believe my options are Canvas or Wordpress, any suggestions?
>I kinda wanted to program it myself, but I think I'd have to pay for a server elsewhere and I shouldn't need to put a whole lot on the site so it'd be a waste to do so

>>124967540
I'll do something better than that.
I'll move a capsule.

>>124967693
Just make a tumblr, you use a custom domain on it.

>>124967693
fuck web 3.0
go pure html

>>124967693
Just use wordpress, there's little point in programming a site yourself. Don't do any fancy over the top bullshit, just present your information clean and concise.

>>124967693
>Wordpress,
Enjoy your vulnerabilities
Just make a tumblr based site, that way you get an official domain name and an easy way for people to follow you.

How important is a game design document?

Soondev here, are they at all necessary/useful for one-man operations? Are there any tutorials/explanations as to what should be in them?

>>124967693

>>124967865

For your first attempts not at all because you'll be fumbling around so much.

For a later one it might be useful, maybe, but don't count on it.

anon, go and make pong first
you don't need a doc

>>124967865
Are you making a large game with a decent amount of team members? Make one to keep everyone on track

Are you by yourself? Don't make a GDD, you should make some sort of basic document to keep your ideas/goals in check though.
Don't overplan like an autist but don't underplan either.

>>124967964

>mentally ill retard from /x/ wont stop sending you death threats

how to fix

>>124967693
Use tumblr. Nobody is going to find your lonely website.

>>124967865
They are useful but don't worry about them right away.
You wont be making your dream game first. You're going to be making small games with small scopes, so those games will be easy to just keep in your mind.

Once you get better at gamedev and you can work on your big dream game then you can have a doc full of ideas and plot and whatever else.

I'm on Win XP, will Game Maker run at unusable speeds on my computer? Will it be even remotely feasible for me to make a 2D platformer on Windows XP? It's not an option for me to get a new computer right now.

>>124968440
on tumblr there seems to be people that actively search for things that they like
personally I don't get why
but basically if you tag your posts with relevant things like agdg or gamedev, people will find it
that's assuming your stuff is interesting or pretty though, if your game is shit nobody will care about it on tumblr or anywhere else

>>124968624
you're assuming I am even trying to make it a meme, I just think it's cute and inspirational suck my dick

>>124968440
Nobody cares how it looks like. Just tag stuff properly and link it with your twitter shit. This isnt 2010 anymore.

Also if you want people to find your stuff make meme versions of your screenshots or make concept art screenshots and post them. They are guaranteed likes/followers.

>>124968559
Rotatedev has had a very sore anus lately. He needs to find something else to do with himself besides post the same old things and keep attempting to make a comeback when everyone has already told him not to.
Having progress to post would be a start.

Is blueprints that good?

Ran into a bug. Not sure how I managed to do it. I was trying to drift but got kind of confused and was just kind of mashing X and C and arrow keys. And then my car kept turning right, even when I wasn't pressing either direction. And it seemed drifting was impossible after that happened.

However I restarted the game and was able to play it flawlessly, I like it, good work.

i can't code, what should i use?

>>124973150

>>124973465
Gamemaker for 2d. Don't bother with 3d unless you are willing to learn code.

And please don't listen to >>124973602

>>124973465
Game Maker/Construct for 2d, Unreal Engine 4 for 3d.
Either way, learn the "theory" of programming.

>>124973150
i barely use them except for defining archetypes/instances but they're great. it compiles directly to C++ and its all calling C++ functions. also you can write code in C++ that interfaces with blueprints

Don't listen to him, i was a webdev myself and these guys are completely overprizing shit, jewing money out of people who have no idea how easy it actually is.

You can learn html+css in like 2 hours on w3schools*com to make a really basic website, after that go on shit like bestwebgallery*com to copy some good design of websites, that's enough to simply make a website to present your game. And if you want some special shit like a blog, learn a bit php and sql over a week, and include some open source blog code to it.

There are some hosts online where you can host your own website like freehosting*com or x10hosting*com or the other countless webhosters and then grab a domain on dot*tk

Don't pay for a simple website man, seriously.

constant int values (YES = 0, NO = 1, MAYBE = 2, then "return YES" or "return NO" in the method), which is the same as using an enum if you're on C/C++

>>124974861

We are here on agdg mate, i don't think people here need that yet.
Also, would be an acceptable price with that it it were something unique, but you know exactly webdevs have dozens of templates ready, just bolting every feature together they already did previously for another project in some hours, splat a design over it and then selling it for several thousand dollars while drinking cofee.

>>124975204
>drowning in work
They have a lot of costumers, only the beginning is semi-hard, once you have worked for a while it is extremely relaxed. Also, a lot of incompetent people work at webdev, those who would like to program software for real but are already at their limit with simple web scripting.

But having worked in that area, that's maybe just my own bias speaking here.

I'm literally just bouncing between methods in the game class ;^) because this is a comand console text based game FPS isn't a thing so I can just jump between "screens" via user input.I've been trying to think of a better way to store and access screens but I can't think of any I like.

I'M IN A RUSH TO GET THIS DONE FOR WINTER JAM OKAY.

Ran it now and it played just fine.

This is really fun. Nice job.

>>124977194
You need a finite state machine. You already categorically have one, but it will eventually cause a stack overflow, so you should do it in the "traditional way".

Actually, using functions in that way is not theoretically bad. It's just not good to do it that way in most languages because you will eventually blow the stack. Languages with tail call optimization don't have this problem, but C# is not one of them.

>>124975959
Don't anon. Don't just hardcode your story text in the code. Have external files.

>>124976830

>>124977127
Oh, I see.
I plan to write a good series of tutorials at some point in the future. I just want to do this because I remember some great games from previous ludum dares that had horrible cacophonies as soundtracks, and I want people (at least fellow aggy people) to have something "passable" as music so people will not hate their games.


>>124971515
Hey BRo. I don't think I'm the target audience for this game, or that I understand who the target audience is, but everything is super polished and I had fun before I got tired of it.

>>124971515
feedback time
* Drifting is basically a two-button combo, c -> x+arrow, but you only get feedback from the game at the end of the combo once you start turning more that you'd normally be able to. This makes it hard to know if you're on the right track when you're learning it, and hard to know if you've fucked up until well after the fact. The game would feel much better if there were some instant visual cue that you got parts A/B of the combo right as soon as you got them right. A good example IMO, if stylized, is mario kart. When you perform part A, the handbrake part, you will always hop a little in the air, and as soon as you've turned enough for the game to register the drift you hear a sparking noise. Maybe something a little more subtle, like a puff of exhaust smoke, would work.
* The fact that your turn radius is hard limited makes it hard to get back on track if you fell off. Making it so you can turn harder at lower speeds would make getting back on track less tedious without fucking with the core gameplay

Wouldn't something involving holding down or up work better?

a) alright, noted.
b) The PlayerCar class is the oldest part of the code in that demo. It's a mess of spaghetti, temporary solutions to permanent problems and doesn't make much physical sense at all. It's the #1 on my to-fix list. You can actually turn harder if you release the accelerator, but I'll make it more obvious in the future.

Never posted here before; I am going to take a "ANSI C" and a "Intro to Java" class at a community college to fulfill some CS credits for another degree that I can get with my main degree.

I used to make stuff as a kid in game maker and flash but I'd always stop working on them when they became too "duct-taped". I didn't like waiting then and I don't like waiting now lol.

I want to ooo and aaa the professors with a simple game that can be slightly customize-able. I know how to use expat, does XML work as a scripting language for a game? That's what Kero Blaster seems to have for its scripting. I don't know Lua or JS at all, but on a scale of 1/10, how hard would it be to learn one of them and put it into both/either an ansi c/java application?

>have luck stat in game
>it does nothing
what do you guys think?

>>124971515
Neat as fuck menus, music... but well fuck everything I was going to say was already mentioned by other people.

It should be easier to get on-track without even drifting if you're already going slow...

>>124980706
Working as intended

>>124980706
People will think you're incompetent rather than it being intentional.

>>124980510

>OS and computer specs please

what's your tumblr, i'll message you there tomorrow

>>124980510
I don't know about kero blaster, but I doubt XML is used as a scripting language. All XML is good for is describing stuff, not making stuff work.

>I don't know Lua or JS at all, but on a scale of 1/10, how hard would it be to learn one of them and put it into both/either an ansi c/java application?
Lua is probably the easiest language to get into if you already know programming. Setting it up as a scripting language inside of java or C is probably going to be harder. Java might have some already made thingie, but for C you're on your own.

You might find better answers for these questions in /g/, as they aren't strictly game related.

Original pup poster here. I stopped doing it a while ago. I just wanted to post a cute picture to cheer AGDG up. If someone else is posting it then, I think it's already a meme at this point.

>>124981634
This is how its supposed to be and if your doing something real like computer science this is true.

But from my experiences of doing coding in non computer science things like maths and physics these guys just go full bonkers.

Like I had to implement some simple algorithm. I did so and it was efficient enough to solve all example things in barely measureable time.

I still got a 2.3 mark because it wasnt super optimized and not suited for industry application. Also the professor only gave 1.0 to students who managed to give him a
>WOW thats a brilliant implementation of this I have never seen before
which is effectively nobody.

>>124982098
Not him, but I've found posting visible progress is the only way to get human responses.
I used OBS and the 4chan webm converter to post small clips of what I'm doing whenever I can and it usually gets the mood a bit better.
Also depends on the time of day

>>124982164
doing scripting bindings is a pretty rote task, not particularly impressive if that's what the standards are
more likely he was trying to teach linear programming or something and you completely missed it

>>124982568
It was basically euler integration anon (Computational Physics course).

I also still dont see why I got deducted points for calling my loop variables i and j instead of i and ii which the professor preferred despite not defining such standards beforehand.

>>124982970
That's asinine. i and j are completely standard. Who the fuck uses i and ii?

>>124983309
He told me that its easy to confuse i and j but not i and ii.

Matlab people supposedly.

>>124988661
Why would you get banned for someone else's post?

>>124988740
He's been banned for non-lewds, if I remember correctly. Simply because people assume everything he posts is nudity.

>>124988740
Because when mods see me posting my game they instantly assume I'm a porn spammer. That's the only reason I can think of.

I dont know which university you went to but we had to spend the first two years doing 90% math. Starting from calculus ranging to mathematical logic.

Sure, there was 1 software engineering lecture and also a programming and a database lecture here and there. But the majority math.

I honestly prefer the german word for computer science "Informatik". Its combination of the words for information and mathematics and thats basically what CS covers.

You are basically free to do whatever the fuck you want in your masters degree though.

They start prying into what you made and they're always let down when they see what it actually looks like.

They expect Call of Duty and see this.

Funnily enough, I get a lot of support from people. Significant other and family adore what I do and love seeing my work.

My internet friends are the ones who roll their eyes and groan if I ever mention my game. I don't think I've received any sort of positivity from them at all.

>>124996294

Those aren't friends

>>124996294
Huh, just realized all my internet buddies are gamedevs. The ones who don't dev all sketched out on me.

Made some new menu/UI assets for Rotatevania.

Mouse pointers, value sliders and a drop-down selection menu for spells.

Does it look okay?
Also what slider do you people prefer?

my brother in law is a "technician" in graphic design and is gonna do this "computational arts" program in a year at concordia university in montreal.

What the fuck is this? Is it a meme degree? Is he really gonna get hired by people with that? He literally did his first unity tutorial and doesn't know how to code anything. He does make pretty decent design stuff though.
