>making an homage to an old game
>using the player sprites from that game as programmer art
I'm posting my first ever progress, /agdg/. I hope you like it.

5th for real thread

>>127000809
I don't like u
hope ur game can step up to cover your failings as a human being

>>127000809
What's the game about? What is your game bringing to the table? Get ready for a lot of saltiness because AGDG is butthurt about platformers because platformers took their dad away.

>>127000809
Looks good anon, what's the game? Engine?
>>127000953
Don't listen to him being bullied here is almost like a rite of passage. Unless they're serious and your stuff actually looks bad but you probably don't need to worry about that for a while.

>>127000953
I appreciate that you hope my game will be good. Thank you.

Hey man we're all going through depression, we can get through this though! Try out more sunlight and get into the habit of exercising more, even if it's just a little at first.

>>127001284
Shut the fuck up r*t*t*d*v. The only mentally ill person here is you.

>>127001017
Not-quite-metroidvania style platformer where most of the skill is in fighting tough monsters rather than in pixel-perfect platform hopping.
>>127001034
I don't have a title for my game yet. The game it's inspired by is Monster World IV.
>>127001190
This is just to get the gameplay right. Relax. :)
>>127001196
I saw that. Given that he doesn't like me, my game would have to be incredible for him to see it as having covered my failings as a human being. I appreciate that he wants me to succeed in making an amazing game.

Put away that exit-bag, Anon! You have so much to live for. We can beat our depression, and perhaps we can stop shitposting long enough to work on our own game. Getting stuff done on our games helps stifle the depression bit by bit.

Oh dannyboy, you've really pulled a number this time
I'll get the grease

>>127000953
you should consider trying mindfulness meditation, it does wonders for squelching depressive thoughts

>mfw learning unity

Pretty fucking sure what I'm doing is a lost cause, but one can hope.

I have 2-D Zelda like layout with randomly generated doors that you can walk through into new rooms. My Zelda like sprite is animated as well (poorly but its close to satisfactory). All images/sprites are just placeholder right now while I'm learning.

Am I doing it right guise?

So I'm working on metal detector mechanic, in Unity. It works by having an object with a large collider on it, when an object enters the collider it gets the distance of the object from the metal detector, the distance is then used to change the rate of beeping. What do you think agdg?

I don't think I even know myself. But I have them arranged in pairs with dummy objects, each pair has various functions for turning on and off the effect, and a -1 to +1 float that controls which one is on and off

then the main ship controller script sets those values based on values set by the player input script, normalizes the various forces and then applies them

>>127007417
man FUCK timezones

Guess we're moving to this thread. I'll move our discussion here.

>>127007337
Yeah I'll rename it.
Also, the game is literally taking place inside cyberspace. As in you're a personification of a hacker's software. Think the Grid from Tron, kind of.

I was going to have different damage types and status effects. One of them was going to be "jammed" and I think that looks like a neat jamming effect.

Not in particular, but it would be nice.

I want to make a bit of an elite clone so I'm going for that kind of elite style of ship but I don't want to just copy and paste the cobra.

My thinking here was a bulkier version of the delta glider from orbiter, and for the underside to be a lifting body/heat shield.

Do you not realize how retarded you sound? If your first reaction is "wow why are you supporting memes/sjws" then you really should re-evaluate your thought processes because I'm not supporting them at all.

>>127008850
Alright. I figured that's what you were going for, with the look of that ship. It's a nice placeholder, just maybe thought you were a coder and not a 3d guy.

I like the delta glider look, but I'd also recommend you look up real life paper spaceplanes like the VentureStar and Rockwell C-1057 among others. This too might be of interest: http://io9.gizmodo.com/early-design-specs-show-the-space-shuttle-could-have-be-1528524224

Without resorting to spamming dozens of enemies, any good advice on how to make missions longer? Even with my own incompetence, it only takes two or three minutes to bomb five ground targets and shoot down eight jets. I'm worried that making the AI too good will be frustrating for the player as their shots keep missing, but just increasing their health means forcing the player to plug away for a while regardless of how good the player is

>>127008767 >>127008902 >>127009070

Wonder Boy in Monster World was a game that was very special during my childhood, so watching you do this with Monster World IV, a game I didn't discover til a few years ago is a treat.

What engine are you working with?

hahahahahahahahahaha

>>127010789
You could make enemies only sometimes vulnerable, you could add in some non-combat between battles where you look at scenery or collect powerups

>>127010882
>>127010929
Yeah, I figure five ground targets isn't too many, I'll probably have more. I'm also working on a way to make AI planes gravitate towards specific points on the map; this would help create localized dogfights around the map that would force the player to move around. I think that would be conducive to secondary objectives

>>127011005
>non-combat between battles

This is actually something I've been planning since day one. I figure it'll be kind of a traditional RPG hub world, where the player can visit shops and talk to people and get missions and all that. It's also where I'd do the bulk of the storytelling, since I think dialogue would get in the way in combat

>>127011215
I plan on that. I'm working on a targeting reticule so that the player has a decent idea where their bomb will land; until I implement that, I'm leaving them spammable for accuracy's sake

>>127011327
I'm sure someone said it before, but the sprite rotation is disgusting. Have you considered manually drawing 8 sprites and alternating between them?

>>127011327

What this anon said.

>>127011440
ill try some scaling/rotating shaders as well as rotating the sprite after the screen has been scaled (also known as rixels) to see what looks better. but no, we'll probably not do additional sprites for different angles

>>127011485
thx for your feedback anon

Sum up your progress this last week in one image

I'll start

Ok, if anyone here ever wants any job remotely relating to programming they need to know what fizzbuzz is

Simple program, takes the numbers 1-100 and:
if it's a multiple of 3 (and not 5), outputs Fizz
if it's a multiple of 5 (and not 3), outputs Buzz
if it's a multiple of 15, outputs FizzBuzz
otherwise, outputs the number

show me your _neatest_ fizzbuzz

(this is a standard interview question)

>>127014118
fizzbuzz:
count from 1 to 100
everytime you encouter a number divisible by 3 you replace the number by fizz
everytime you encounter a number divisible by 5 you replace it by buzz
If a number is divisible by 3 and 5 you replace it by fizzbuzz

1,2,fizz,4,buzz,fizz,7,8,fizz,buzz,11,fizz,13,14,fizzbuzz, 16, ....

It was a popular programming task to do in job interviews.

>>127013563
Because it frequently precedes all qualities of programming advice and you are experiencing confirmation bias.

I'm not sure if the leaves should be moving, to be honest. It's a bit distracting and doesn't bring much of important to the overall mood.

Not to mention, the animation just doesn't really work, but if it did work as you intend it too, it would make the world seem more "alive", which probably isn't the kind of aesthetic you're going for, I imagine.

Say the player needs to vault over many different objects of differing sizes (for simplicity's sake, let's say those are all rectangular) and I want the vault animation to "snap" to the top edge of that object.
I could manage to do that with raycasts, but that seems inefficient.

Fucking finally, we're back.

Well sort of yes, the way it's done, is the missile applies thruster force to change its trajectory. The system is not as complicated as the ship itself uses, but it is still fully physics based, there is no magical manual velocity or position changing

It's basically physics force applied to a rigidbody on a specific vector which i calculate via vector math based on what exactly i need. You also need to take mass of the object into equation of course and for stabilizer thrusters it gets very tricky if you want to be very realistic and apply the force directly at their location, (since you have to calculate the rotation vector and again add the mass in etc)

>>127017667
Be sure not to trust them. Heard a lot of people getting burned. You can help avoid that shit by either using someone who's trusted (will probably be more expensive...) and by splitting up the work load. For every chunk of pictures they draw, you release that chunk of cash to them. Helps ensure they see it all the way through.

You can get them to send thumbnails too, to prove they actually drew the shit you requested.

Friendly reminder that ideas ARE worth something and you should protect them by not posting progress of games early in development where they can easily be stolen before you even finish your game.

Anyone who tells you otherwise can't come up with their own ideas and wants to take yours.

because to an artist all programmers are the same while to a programmer an artist is pretty much unrepleaceable.
So if you have to pick between sooo many equeally replaceable people you are going to pick te one who pays the most

>>127020070
That's weird to think about because in the business field it's pretty much the contrary.

Programmers will always find a job if they ever wanted to change their field. Some companies propose higher paychecks to some programmers so they join their company, whereas an artist will have a LOT of trouble finding an actual job, because you only need a few, even if they are not replaceable.

What I love about artists is that they don't even allow you to browse their art now.

>>127020070
That's only true if the programmer has no prototype, which they definitely should if they're looking for free art

I find it funny how people who draw pictures are called artists.

>>127019478
They're worth something. But they're worth a lot less than you think they are.
Also any dev that is actually dedicated enough to make a full game is already making their own ideas. Nodevs will never have enough dedication to make more than a small prototype of an idea they stole. In very rare cases maybe a dev will implement some small idea you had into their game, but it's never them making your full game before you do.

Look at Minecraft, back when Notch was posting on /v/ gamedev threads no one was stealing the Minecraft idea because no one was dedicated enough to. Then it suddenly became the most popular game in the world and everyone is trying to clone it now.

>>127020708
I was not talking about the indie industry, but rather about industries in general.

It is true that you have a better time being a programmer than an artist in our current times. Maybe that artists are stars but programmers are the roadies. Without roadies, there aren't any shows going on. A roadie is versatile and can work for a lot of people, whereas an artist is often obliged to fit in a hole because there are so few of them.

It really is.

Look how salty these threads are.
Pop open any game on Steam, of any quality, and look at the retarded/unfair/unrealistic negative reviews.
Look at the postmortems(recaps of how development went) of games around the internet

It's just... You have to be strong.

>>127021889
It's not hard. It's long.

You have to be dedicated to work on a project consistantly.

You have to make compromises on your strong and weak points. A lot of us here are good at programming but complete garbage at making visual stuff.

If you didn't give up and actually finished your game despite all the obstacles you encountered, you have to sell your game with a non-existent beginning fanbase.

This is why a lot of people actually give up on making games. Or at least, making them alone.
