first for suicide.

>>126716781
Name even a single game that does that

just found out someone made a better version of my game 15 years ago. at least its as fun as i imagined...

>>126717118

Which game anon?

Gamemaker or Unity for a 2d game

Ori and the blind forest is really fucking gorgeous and that was made in unity so it kinda inspires me

I just want to say that guy making witch game with brooms and shit you're doing a great job and never give up because I want to play that shit

>>126717382
Ori was made by a full studio not 1MA, using Unity3D is pretty irrelevant.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8lOwrWNbEY

>>126717382
I prefer Unity, but that's probably because I'm more familiar with it, but I dislike both the interface and scripting language of GM.

That said Unity is primarily a 3D engine so chances are it's doing a lot of stuff you wouldn't do in a 2D engine which could be a waste of CPU power, resulting in the game not running on low end systems or draining battery faster. But I doubt GM is a marvel of engineering either, it probably isn't that great in that area either.

Just like make your own.

>>126717382
From what I read in the previous thread, I'd say GameMaker. Or do what feels right, seems like the previous guy didn't convince you.

vagrant story.

the idea was a story driven rpg with a heavy focus on changing equipment and spells to counter your enemies. tactics with zero hand holding. a hardcore game for hardcore gamers such as myself.

i suppose theres still some room for improvement though. but i'm sure if squeenix wanted to revisit this concept they would surprise me yet again..

>>126717924

You just like make game anyways anon. There's nothing wrong with a game that borrows ideas from another, some of the best games have come about this way.

Plus your game would be on PC, which is always a huge plus for people.

One big step into Netcoding

>>126717924
I personally want to make something like Vagrant Story just for the level design. Yes, it was pretty simple, but I find it's just simple enough to be good

Well, I love the tactics involved in making your gear too, but I wouldn't carbon copy the whole battle system. I didn't like the combos and "spam the attack button as fast as you can to land more attacks" in a seemingly turn-based combat system

>>126718164
I want to make a cooler as heck system, just have to come up with a simple game around it.

Kind of leaning towards like a single player version of Evolve

>>126718275
>but I wouldn't carbon copy the whole battle system. I didn't like the combos and "spam the attack button as fast as you can to land more attacks" in a seemingly turn-based combat system

And there you go, branch away from that and you'll have yourself a game people will say "Oh it's like Vagrant story but it does ____ instead." And you'll still draw people in that like your way of doing things.

>>126719085
1 for indoors like you have in the webm.
0 for outside or very large areas.

>>126719229
yes that's what I was thinking

>>126718680
Vine why do you have an eyeball fetish?

>>126719085
You should fix the camera look ahead. Look at how Super Metroid does its look ahead so that there isn't any of that sub pixel movement and soft snapping.

>>126719085

1 for indoors and 0 for outdoors like this guy >>126719229 said.

and neat art style, though your character's walk cycle could use a little more life to it. What kinda game you making?

>>126719352
it's called Full Metal God, it's an ARPG with an emphasis on skillful combat (1v1 etc, you wont survive in a 1v5 battle vs AI). You can check out our tumblr: http://kiokotadev.tumblr.com/

>>126719343
You mean rounding the x,y coords of the camera? Not sure how look ahead would be connected to sub-pixel movement

>>126719640
I mean doing your look ahead in a way that isn't "lerp to the player's position plus the player's velocity times some factor". Instead the player "pushes" on the edge of a bounding area and the camera moves ahead. The bounding area also allows you to do small movements (which is probably good for your game) without the camera spazzing out.

>>126719748
Ah I see what you mean. Ty

It is nice to see a fun and good looking game made in construct 2. I have to make some game as a final project in one of my courses and we have to use this engine. I had a few ideas but the drag and drop workflow is killing me. I guess it is definitely easier to start working without worrying about the main physics, but some stuff looks incredibly repetitive and annoying. It doesn't help that most of the construct 2 games are utter shit and are made be kids. I don't see if the game made in it can turn out tio be good enough to make some success.

there's not much added though - some stuff on sound, debugging in that zombie game they have and some math
and there are some weird leftovers like "unreal engine 4's kismet system" or "content browser"(that showed the browser pre-udk)

>>126725853
>Sounds like it might be informative for all devs
it is
it's a high-level overview for lots of stuff, some math, some rendering concepts, debugging, files, localization, etc. etc., but mostly architecture, like there's this neato diagram at the beginning with every system in a typical engine
game coding complete is like this one, but goes more in depth on each thing(there's even a walkthrough for making a game, albeit with their framework)

also stop saying enginedevs like it's this special category of super devs that reinvent stuff because they are oh so much smarter
it's development either way
yeah, it takes a lot more time, but the dev himself evolves both when it comes to lower level stuff and higher level stuff(that comes with commercial engines) with his system and stuff becomes second nature to him

>>126726556

Really? Iconoclasts is pretty fucking great too.

Provided he ever finishes the fucking game

>>126726627
>also stop saying enginedevs like it's this special category of super devs
Where are you getting that from?

>>126726556
It looks good, I might try it. Why don't more people use this engine to make indie games or mobile apps? It even has a lot of premade logics for games like flappy bird, angry birds etc. You can literally make one of those shitty flappy bird clones in an hour. I'm interested if performance suffers a lot if you make a big game in construct and try to publish it to different platforms. That surely has to be a reason.

Because it's really limited if you can actually code.

>>126727232
But I can't draw and I don't want to draw. I'm just horrible at it and it frustrates me.

I mean, I figured out the other option was to " copy " other's sprite settings to be able to do something decent myself.

But I wonder what option is the best for me. Maybe vector shit rather than pixel art is maybe better for me.

>>126729576
I don't think there's really a solid definition of random vs procedural. But typically procedural means it's random but follows several rules. If you know the rules you can have a pretty good idea of how something might look after it's generated. Random is "pure" random, or as close to pure random as a computer can get. It doesn't follow rules or follows very relaxed rules, so the result can be all over the place.

>>126730268

Random is just lazy procedural that doesn't take the time to stem its random inputs from the seed and instead uses a bunch of Math.Random()'s or whatever throughout.

>>126720372
Isn't this more of a hobby, or do you guys really have no job and dev full time?

Conclusion: there isn't really a meaningful difference that people agree on. "Procedural generation" just sounds more deliberate.

I've been looking for a digital futurism cyberspace-like skybox and I can't find one at all.

All the free skyboxes I can find are generic outside day 1 or generic outside day 2. Looks like I get to try my hand at gimp.

>>126735249
I store pointers between systems only in a few places that I can control
other than that, I use new/delete in reduced, cold scopes where std vector(in case of arrays) or smart pointers are not justified

pulling in smart ptrs are not justified in lots of cases imo

I knew this would happen.
I knew it when I saw the game was about birds.

And I told you. Same as with Undertale, but you never fucking listen. You are always like "B-but he cheated!" or "le meme gaem XD". Or you find some other dogmatic bullshit to apply and tell yourself that you can't make a game like this or several other ways ("le meme pixel" etc).

But it all doesn't matter. You know why?
Because he made it now. And I'm not just shittalking you here.
With Ross playing it together with Holly, chances are high that it will be played on GameGrumps too.

I don't even have to mention all those "lolsorandom" channels that will probably catch on in a few days and push sales. It might even be mentioned on pewdipies channel. I'm almost certain Markiplier will play it, since he knows Ross very well too.

So that's it. He made it. And what did you lot do? You bullied him out of here. He's probably glad he's gone.

Stupid C# question incoming:

Why can the using keyword only be used to import at the namespace level? Apparently if I want to import just a specific class, I have to qualify it with static. Is it bad to always import specific classes, aka:

instead of
>using System.Collections.Generic

what's real is shit

you sit here thinking that one day you will make a game and be successful but the truth is very few of us will. most of us will never reach that point due to no talent, laziness, depression, no motivation or other things in life getting in the way.

you will never live your life the way you want to. the ones here that did make it were a lucky few that happened to be in the right circumstances. it's made even clearer when you see people try their hardest and still fail, i've known people from here that spent years trying to dev and get better and at the end of the day all their progress means shit, they just accumulated a bunch of useless skills that leave them unemployable.

How time consuming is it to become competent enough in Blender to make low-poly objects and scenes? I already know some of the absolute basics.

Haven't worked on my game in a long time but I'm thinking about dropping sprites altogether and making some simple models so my game doesn't get lost in the masses of pixel shit.

For instance, what if I changed my map editor here to lay down textured 3D blocks for tiles instead of sprites? That way I could do some 3D zoom-in effects and shit.
