(REPOSTIN)

Secondary progress for the day: redid (AGAIN) my trail shading stuff.

This actually not a replacement, it's additive... until now, my trail renderers have been flat surfaces. Now, after some serious study of Bayonetta 2 (and the Bayonetta effects in Smash 4!) and T:D, I've concluded that the trick to good trails is not JUST to manually animate the curves, it's to ALSO use depth-rendering surfaces to make the trails look fuller and more pronounced from all angles.

SO, to that end, the "trail tip" (the one that changes size based on the anim) is, in addition to being rendered with the trail renderer, uses a ribbon renderer (which stitches together camera-facing particles rather than socket-defined triangles) so that it has depth from any angle. The animated hemicircle effect ALSO has a secondary mesh which is a modified Torus, playing the same SubUV animation.

As an added bonus, swipes can now also define a rotational rate per-instance, which helps them look smoother for circular swings (where before we just layered them at roughly 90 degree angles)

I don't see feature creep as a serious issue for most beginning developers.

As long as you're not solely developing the game (i.e. financially dependent on it, which you should never be at that stage), you have plenty of time to implement features and learn from your mistakes

haha wow

confirmed for nodev

what do other GameMaker devs use for their standard step speed? My basic greybox platformer -ish room seems to stutter every minute or so at 60 steps, but at 144 it disappears completely.

Would it be acceptable to set the desired speed to 144, or scale it to the user's performance with delta time?

Or is the stuttering from a common oversight (like a wonky page file)? I barely have anything going on in the test room and the code isn't very complex or resource-heavy.

nah, but I think we're talking about different kinds of projects. The ones I see in dev threads pretty much never have scope issues.

GameMaker is great if you have the ability to work separately from the drag and drop system.

Usually, specialized libraries perform better than Boost at trivial stuff
Boost is only good for getting an implementation of features that are not yet standardized IMO, since the standard will usually keep the same interface, making it easier to replace later

I've got to get to drawing more natural stuff (hills, trees, rocks...) which was never my strength.

>>125732682
it truly is the dealbreaker

to someone who's getting into gamedev I'd say start with literally the simplest game you can think.

One mechanic, one win state, one lose state, a splash screen, a main menu, saving and reloading and that's it.

Finish this whole thing that is a playable experience from start to finish and then move on to bigger projects.

Otherwise you're still learning but you're putting the top of the pyramid before the base is done.

I'm also terrible at drawing natural stuff.

Whats a good naming scheme for events in MVC?
When my model fires an event, my viewcontroller picks it up, but then my viewcontroller fires its own event, for consumption by children of the VC. How should I name the events to differentiate handler on the VC (which listens to the model), from the event on the VC that is listened to by the children?

if you can power through the first and second seasons it's a pretty great watch (first is the worst imo). After season two it's smooth sailing.

I would highly recommend watching the before or after. It's the superior show imo and the first season (that's not pretty great) is also just 6 episodes. From season 2 to like 7 it's absolutely great, then season 8 is all fucked up and then season 9 is great too.

Just like Lisa is the 4chan earthbound and Undertale is the reddit Earthbound, I'd say The Office is the 4chan show and Parks and Rec the reddit show. They're all great but one's never afraid to offend if it means a great joke.

A game where you play as a golf ball on a miniature golf course, first scene is a small child (or angsty teen) hitting you far off to the other side of the course and getting lost in the shrubury. You have to solve puzzles and fight birds, squirrels, and other renegade golf balls to make it back to your home on the 18th hole (where your family is waiting for you)

I'm making a twin stick shooter similar to Hotline Miami and Nuclear Throne. I want to give it really good spritework. I want to make it so each angle of the character is its own sprite. Obviouls I can't make 360 sprites, so would 16 angles suffice?

>>125743476
The second one was me
I hadn't tested out the unity 2d animation editor, but you basically just more and rotate sprite objects around.
All you need to do is separate out body parts and use the timeline to change their positions and rotations.
The game I'm working for is specifically trying to do things minimally (effort), but still retain some polish. This will help a lot with that by making idle animations really easy to do.

RIXELS REEEE

I'm debating between seamless loading of zones (top down game) and having a small loading between them.

I'm thinking the loading between them could be decent pacing and separation of areas since the game isn't like "constant adventure" feeling that a game like Pokemon would give off. Plus it would be easier to implement.

I never played the original final fantasy games. Were they seamless? Most RPG's I've seen aren't, so I'm thinking that could be good from a feeling standpoint

>>125744241
I can tell you that ff7 and ff1 were, as far as I can remember, pretty much seamless (other than maybe a frame or two of black) as it switched to the next area over.

How about a game where you play as Krampus.
Your goal is to drag everyone away to into christmas hell.
You have to set up traps with your presents, manipulate the weather, get your helpers inside the house, capture people whenever you can, and if you're able put out their fire so you can go in yourself and finish the job.

It'd be kinda like watching people in the sims and trying to trick the AI into falling for your traps.

This is the graph that determines if your game appears on the "play and rate" page on the Ludum Dare website (sorted by "Default")

There's a "default" value is determined by:
D = 50+R-5*sqrt(min(C,100))

Where D is the "default" value
R is the number of ratings your game has
C is the coolness ranking (how many games you've rated)

The page usually shows games with a "Default" value less than 46.

x is the number of ratings your game has and y is the number of ratings you have.
You need to be in the purple zone to appear in the page.

Notice that voting more than 100 times will have no effect.

how the fuck do I do this /v/

the faces are aligned 100% to my hi-poly

want to engrave exactly as-is

>>125750419
what are you trying to accomplish?

use boolean

>>125750419
boolean modifiers

>>125750419
unless you're just doing 3d you should just use a normal map for this.

>>125750419

pretty easily
create 20 sided polygon
create 3d numbers
use the numbers to cut out of the polygon

done

>>125750908
>>125750926
>>125750941
>>125750950
It sounds to me like he's trying to bake a normal map using the high poly model.
If that's the case, it's easy. Set up your UV map on the low poly model, select the high poly one, shift+select the low poly one, and then bake normals.

>>125750908
which mode? the d20 is like 20mtri and that shit takes forever even with a xeon, 980ti, and 48 niggabytes

>>125750941
I am using a normal+AO+height map. This is the hi-poly I'm making that shit from. The low-poly is already finalized and uv-unwrapped. The difference will be the roundness of the corners / bevels and the numbers will be 2D on the low-poly.

>>125751110
Yeah I am, but need to cut the numbers into the highpoly first.

you need a multires object to bake high to low

>>125751340
Shit I baked the multires because it made computing mods take forever.

>>125751379
wait everything's fine I can just bake the high-res version with the numbers and shit in substance painter's workflow instead of blender

>>125751153
>Yeah I am, but need to cut the numbers into the highpoly first.
Oh, use boolean tools for that.
>the d20 is like 20mtri and that shit takes forever even with a xeon, 980ti, and 48 niggabytes
Here's what I would do: create a normalmap from the high poly die. Next, invert the normals for all the numbers, then create a normalmap from the inverted numbers.
Bake a map of any kind with transparency to get a relevant alpha channel for the second normal map, and then layer that over the first normal map.

>>125751331

its cute! cute!

>>125751340
>you need a multires object to bake high to low
This isn't true. You can bake normals to and from any object in blender, it's not just for multires objects.

also i dont think it will help with boolean

>>125752347
if you are simulating a CNC look then use NURBS models.

>>125752260
Everything about your methodology is terrible.
You didn't need to use such high poly models to generate the normals: the normalmap won't be that detailed. If it were, you'd have been better off just modeling some of the detail in. You're clearly either using far too high resolution a texture, or you're zoomed in enough on the die that it would be stupid NOT to include more mesh detail.
And even then, you don't actually need to use the boolean operations to do this. You could bake separate normal maps and combine them.

>>125743613
>shooting that's constrained to certain angles
That's the absolute worst. Just rotate it, ensuring the game is rendered at proper resolution to prevent rixels.

>>125752472
but then I'll have to convert them back to poly for substance anyway

>>125752492
yeah this is my first day and it took 6 hours to get here

>>125752550
You could pull the lowest resolution (your original) into its own separate object and add manually some of your effect stack's geometry changes (incl the multires subdivide) as mesh detail to the low-poly. It would still be the same object, just manually spruced up to look more like the high-poly for maybe a few hundred extra tri. AFAIK that's how the big boys work.

>>125752649
>but then I'll have to convert them back to poly for substance anyway
no you don't just use a raytracer instead of zbuffer rendering or crappy painters algorithms

and don't give me that "raytracing is too slow for realtime" nonsense. Use acceleration structures and cut some corners.

>>125752492
why do you hate booleans so much?
baking separate normal maps is fucking retarded, before you tell someone that they're doing the wrong thing, learn your tools ;)

honestly baking separate maps and blending would probably be really fast

I believe in you!

>>125752872
>>125753012
You haven't read the conversation, have you?
I would suggest using boolean tools first, and I DID. He's stupid for using them NOW, because his mesh is absurdly high poly for no good reason, and it will take him god knows how long to even run a boolean operation on them.
see >>125751683
It would be simpler at this point for him to just bake twice.

>>125753012
faster than cutting the parent mesh, even if I really want to because setting up my layers for the d20 in substance would be easier.

Really look forward to it. You have some cool projects on your site as well, too bad some of the download links don't seem to work any more. Keep at it.

I can't seem to find the answer for this.

In Unity3D, when using OnTriggerEnter (or similar functions) you are checking if any collider, let's call it B, has entered the collider of the gameobject the script is in, let's call it A.

Is it possible to use this function to check if said collider B has entered another different and particular gameobject, C, rather than the one the script is in?

In other words: if the script is in gameobject A, can you check if gameobjects B and C, which don't have any scripts, are colliding with with each other?

If it is possible, could you please point me out in the proper direction?

you see i was playing blossom blast by the makers of candy crush and really liked it so i was wondering how does the game work since i dont think it just loops through arrays
also i wanted to learn more about it because i like programming as hobby and it also might come in handy when i get to AI and pathfinding i guess

c-chewie no.. how could you!

>But every time i try its just hours and hours of watching shitty tutorials and navigating through poorly written Docs to no avail

This has been my Unity experience so far. Even more so with the fact that a tutorial that isnt made this year useless cause of unity updates breaking everything.

The worst part is that the community just tries to lure you in with answers only to then drop "Oh wow look at the convenient link I have to this tutorial on the market place!" "Only 50 dollars to have my files I used to make n64 legend of zelda movement! :D"

Don't even attempt making a game until you at least know the fundamentals of programming. You'll give up in frustration or hit a wall later on.

I've learned Java and JavaScript at uni for my CS degree, and I'm learning C++ next semester.

Should I use javascript for Unity or learn C#?

does either language offer an advantage if I'm making a 2D, 2.5D or 3D game?

Yeah man it's bloody good as far as royalties go. Still not as good as Unity but for use of the engine and blueprints because I'm an idiot artist who needs things explained in pictures It's definitely worth it for me.

>>125757217
apparently you cant
just put scripts on the objects i guess

>>125758203
learn c#, you don't want to use javascript for serious shit.
Also unityscript is not javascript

>>125758203
for the love of god, spare yourself having to do anything ever at all with javascript
C# is a genuinely pleasant to write language
C++ is where its at though.

thanks that solved all my problems

It uses a hex grid

>>125758312
i dont mean the hex grids i mean even if it was square grid it surely just doesnt go through the whole array to check for neighbours
cool link tho

C# is a pretty smooth transition from Java, right? It looks very similar.
