if its a track then he is doing it all wrong

just make a thin cube,add loops and use deform modifier, rest of the detail you can do with normal/height/color maps
if you need to add thickness use solidify

the way id go about it is to add loops then deform it manually with proportional editing

more loops = better shape

>>126580165
why make your own language when you have DarkBASIC Professional

can you really do art with mspaint or its just a meme

>>126581308
The art for RoR was literally done in mspaint

>>126581308
MS Paint has no transparency, so not really. The closest thing is Paint.net.

>>126580284

Not really sure what you're suggesting here. I used a bezier curve and filled it out to what I think is both good-looking and well-performing. I appreciate the tips on optimizing though, already cut faces in half and can probably cut them in half again without losing too much fidelity.

>>126581308

Literally anything is possible in games, do what you want.

>>126581676
just lower preview when using a curve if you don't want 15,000 faces every time you make a shape

My love2d level editor now has tabs with which to edit multiple maps at once. Don't know if that's really important but it can't hurt.

Should I learn the drag and drop components of Unity, or is like GM:s where you don't need to know the drag and drop at all?

>>126583970

Progress video! 2 minutes, 1st part is a sneak peak of the storyline, 2nd part is behind the scenes timelapse.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGWThppo2-Q

Scarecrow storyline is now done but I'm not going to spoil the solution.
Done today:
- Spawned the scarecrow in the hallway, did a blackout of the players screen and began spook event trigger when player goes to sleep
- Coded the scarecrow to laugh when running away and delete itself at bottom of stairs
- Coded the dialogue events and triggers where player will react to the scarecrow and say their lines while chasing after it
- Coded script to chop the scarecrow with the axe to demonstrate that the solution is something else
Can't say much more without spoiling stuff but from there you can banish the Scarecrow and beat that part of the game.

The next major plotline will need to be for Bloody Mary.

Friendly reminder that generic cute anime just for the sake of it is the neckbeard equivalent of "retro indie pixel art" just for the sake of it. Have universe consistency instead of going for mainstream appeal unless you want to make mediocre games.

>>126585386
muh millennial anti-intellectualism

>>126584568
Do you mind if I play it a bit, I actually really like this concept and I'm interested.

Is there an email I can reach you at (Don't mind the "Every project he touches dies" vibe, I was just stupid when I was starting out and joined onto projects way too early for a music guy to be applicable.)

I have an idea in mind already watching through some of the videos. I don't wanna try for conventional medieval music but more aggressive fusion synth music like Dizkodeath or Carpenter Brut. I can send you some demos.

>>126586746
Thank you.

are there games that buck the 'catchy melody loop' trend and go for big, full-length songs, like you're playing through an album?

>>126586953

You suck at art
You like pixel art
You want to keep your game's scope small

What? Not really, do you know nothing about world building? I mean in the real world (for us amateurs) you face physical issues like artist availability, scope, etc but universe consistency is important to make good games.

A little offtopic but for example pic related has decent writing (more than many many other vns) but is not taken seriously, can you guess why?

>>126586614
Nope. The model was made two years ago and I'm not planning on making a pony game. Not entirely sure what the game will be but it does not officially have ponies in it. You may relax now.

>>126587509
I don't drink coffee at all. Are you suggesting that caffeine pills might help, because I'd be willing to give that a try

I fucking hate having a cold

>Reasons to choose pixel art:

How am I supposed to make pixel art if I suck at making art?

Last thread someone asked if you'd have to reverse a binary tree horizontally or vertically right after someone said agdg was more programming literate than /dpt/ and hahahahahahahahahaha

>>126587484

>>126587584
>can you guess why?
Because it's literally a joke?

>>126587665
It's a joke because it's using birds instead of cute anime girls, the writing is not more of a joke than other vns. Why are you arguing against this?

>>126587613
When you're doing low res shit you can get away with weird/fun stuff that would just look entirely retarded at larger sizes.

Sure if you suck at art whatever you make will be bad... but pixel art is a little easier (assuming you're cool with all those kids/retards who find pixel art 100% unacceptable).

>>126587960
Make several unique heads, bodies, clothes, etc. Make several unique textures for each.

Then just combine them in different ways, you'll get more unique models with less work.

And of course special/important NPCs can have their own model and textures.

>>126587745
>the writing is not more of a joke than other vns.
The writing is about birds going to school.
It's not a joke because it's using birds, the joke is it's using birds. Besides that it has anything to do with your original comment.

Sorry anon, but drinking coffee is retarded. Eventually you get to a point where you get more tired when you don't drink coffee, and then you have to drink more coffee, and so you get more tired, and have to drink more coffee etc and so on

And yes as I said it's a little offtopic I'm using a very obvious example and yet you still don't understand my point.

>>126587640
I don't really understand what this post implies.

>>126588683
The writing is on par, but intended as a joke. '60 flaps per second', '1080p pigeons', it's a joke game. You can't use a joke game as an example of a game not taken seriously. That's like saying Mr Bean isn't taken seriously.
And your original point was, 'don't use anime girls' which has nothing to do with world building. Artstyle is not world building. To top it all off, you've gone on to say 'use anime girls' now, so what point are you even making anymore?

>>126589053
How many vns have jokes or references to anime/manga tropes? Spoiler: many. They're still taken seriously, and I never said that you shouldn't use anime girls I said that you shouldn't use anime girls by default unless it's part of a coherent universe.

Or don't, this is an amateur thread you can make an anime/"retro" pixel art game if you want just because you like it. Stop being so offended and yes characters are part of world building.

Comparing this new .webm to my last one >>126577837, what do you think about these smaller vehicle sprites? My justification is that I can have more enemies now, with them slamming into each other less often, but the drop in fidelity is a pretty big cost and I can't seem to force them to crash any more.
Does anyone have an opinion? Should I find a different approach, or do you think the tiny sprites can work?

If line of sight is broken it begins to decay. I don't know if that is overkill for what you are doing but it is one way of adjusting how fast they will react.

It must be one of them. Making stuff is harder with more control not because i want it to be harder. it's harder because you can control more stuff.

I'm talking about tools as in software that helps you do things.

(gamedev related)

>>126589581
>Sometimes I wish I was 1MA, having full control over the production sounds really good.
It's pretty rad my man. But then I'm also my own boss in my career of choice outside of gamedev so I'm ruined in that regard. Working on a team is no longer my thing. In most situations where I did work on a team I ended up carrying things myself anyway.

>>126589953

>>126591385
>tools in software

Easier to use would probably be better in that case, as long as you have a way to go further into the tools to tweak specific shit with enough skill.

>>126590807
Thanks, but I think it's all a problem of the tiny sizes. When a movement speed of 2 is too quick and 1 is too slow, or when looking 24 pixels ahead is too much time, but 23 pixels is just short, there's not a lot of things you can change.
I think I will go back to the larger sprites.

>>126591520
>When a movement speed of 2 is too quick and 1 is too slow
what's wrong with 1.5

>>126591385
The way I see it, based on a lot of experience programming with different tools, is that you have a triangle. One point is ease of use, another is control, and the third is scope. You can mostly have two, but not all three.

It's based on the idea of the Turing tarpit: the more control you have and the more generic, the harder it is to use. Domain specific languages give you a lot of control and ease of use, but they are only applicable to a small range of problems.

Everyone in /agdg/ is here for stupid arguments and if they can't find one they'll try and invent one out of whole cloth by deliberately misrepresenting one sentence of someone's post and just replying to that.

Not strictly related to your post, but if you're ever bored, come here and check out how greentext is used - almost always to quote some tiny chunk of a bigger post full of good points and using it in a vacuum as their basis for why the other person is "wrong". The other person is forced to either just fuck off (which no one on the internet is capable of) or correct the other person, which successfully derails the discussion.

Thanks for the advice. I think what I'll do is darken the red but add some light to her thighs and do something with the shoulderpads to point to her face.

The game doesn't have a name yet because I am terrible at naming things. Currently making it in RPGMaker for the already implemented events/inventory etc. but will either switch engines soon to unity or GM or have to deal with writing the actual gameplay in ruby.

first time posting progress for this game, started a couple days ago. i made it once before but i quit it halfway.

it's a game about navigating short platforming challenges where the twist is that you're controlling the only platform in the game with your mouse. there's a bunch of red gates, if you jump through all of the red gates, the goal appears. if you manage to touch the goal, you win.

you can try it here if you want, but it's very buggy so beware. there's no collision for the black platform yet.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/69039392/WEbGL/index.html

input:

-left ctrl to switch between play and edit mode
-hold spacebar to bring up the build menu
-click on the object you want to place and then click somewhere white to place it
-if you want to edit an object, you can pick it up with a left click and then edit it with the arrow keys/mousewheel
-to zoom in and out, you can click the camera and use arrowup and arrowdown
-if you want to connect an object to the pink box, you have to place a box, right click on the object you wish to connect and then right click on the pink box. if it worked, a ball will fly toward the object you connected.
-the box can rotate an object or have it patrol, you can switch modes with the uparrow and then do things with the mousewheel.
-left mouse to jump in when you play

-press L to load the level from the webm, hope it works.

So I want to learn how to make games as a way to give myself another outlet aside from writing music and playing piano.

I watched a brief tutorial on game maker and from what I've seen the basic steps is that you create objects, then code the objects to do certain things, then write scripts for the objects to read in situations. Is that right?

Look up the episode of South Park where Mr. Garrison writes a romance novel.

my game will be 100% public domain content

You gamergate kids are pathetic, trying to bring down a dev from here really? Reevaluate your life mothdan

>>126599156
I can't think of a quick way to do a mockup so I'll just spend more air

Like, when most games have grixels it's because they drew a 1:1 gradient over a set of 3:1/4:1 pixels or so
What I want instead, is a pixel game where each individual pixel is a gradient between two different colors, so like a higher-res form of dithering

replied to the wrong post, eh?

>trying to bring down a dev from here really?
Is he scamming people? Then fuck yeah let's watch him twitch in the wind.
>muh danny post
What a surprise. The weaker your integrity the more apt you are to imagine Mothdan is behind everything. That's because every notorious lying faggot here from rotatedev to googem has been called out by him so many times.

>>126598548
This is what this place has come to

Stabbing each other in the back out of jealousy and e drama

>>126599645
why would danny the notorious asset store dev be trying to take down the asset store?

>>126599786
Do me a favor, google the Streisand effect

Has anyone here actually played Cavern Kings? I mean it looks fun but I haven't gotten a chance to play it myself.

Come to think of it, how often do you guys play eachother's games?

>>126599156
depends which you're talking about

>birdpoly
it was semi-functional but not fun so i gave up

>farmpoly
on "hold" while someone builds an engine for it

>>126599857
i have, it's awful

>>126599857
i want to but it never goes for a decent sale amount and i refuse to buy things for more then 30% off in a sale

>>126599821
Don't be on the wrong side of history it's that simple.

>>126599906
>i have, it's awful

Really? that's a shame because it looks alright, what's the problem with it?

So is Project Spark pretty good at making games with

>>126599918
She gives it away for free.

>Pixels
>Mixels
>Rixels
>Grixels

Am I mising any others?

>>126599954
what did he do wrong?

it doesnt look unfinished to me

it looks like he disappeared because people bullied him for his art

knuckeled down finished it

then released it and people liked it

>>126599989

So maybe we could just ask her nicely for some keys?

>>126600012
Graxels are very common.

>>126599821
>jealousy
If your game literally has a screen that says
>sorry i lied nothing here hehe
You're a crook and deserve what comes to you

>>126599960

>>126599918

Why do you use a stupid excuse like this vine? I expected better of you :^(

>>126600110
Thanks anon, I'll check it out. Really appreciate this.

>>126600142
>that sounds like a joke
Fuck off commie.

>>126599857
I've played CK a good six hours. It's alright but it has that indie lack-of-content feel to it. Like sure the base game is pretty fun, but you get really sick of seeing the same monsters / super similar rooms, after awhile.

Meanwhile in, say, Binding of Isaac, or Dungeon Crawl, it changes things up majorly often enough that that's not as much of a problem even though you still come to absolutely hate the first areas...

>>126600110
THANK YOU :D

ayy

What about pixels that are rendered in perspective? For example the minecraft tools

>>126600110

>tfw just grabbed the first one after the other two were claimed at the last second

Thanks Vine, I've really been curious about this.

>>126600056
If he did nothing wrong then nothing will come of this. :)
People who lie deserve to fry

>>126600238
those are called perspective pixels, or prixels
