>>135059078
no. make pong, ball hit brick, pinball, match 3, snake, bomberman. Then zelda.

>>135059078
A Zelda-like is very content-heavy and involves a bunch of mechanic. I'd say try cloning the arcade classics first. Once you've made Pong, Asteroids and Tetris (and by "made" I mean gameplay, menu, saving, an ending, a game over screen, etc. plus some open source art/music), you can definitely move on to a Zelda-like.

>>135059053

>>135060993

I'm hopoo.

I have the character jumping on the enemies, but there was a problem, the character stuck on top of the enemies.

I solved this by having two physics layer, onair and onground, and switching between them.

But now when I jump on top of an enemy, both colliders become justapoxed (almost same position) so they're stuck together.

It's there any way to unstuck them?

Like OnCollisionStay or some shit?

>>135061159
If you're using unity, you can disable colliders, which might solve this problem.
But you might want to take a step back and try to work out a solution with one physics layer; 2 layers sounds like it could become a nightmare.

>>135061828
In graphics gale there is no "true" transparency. You have to pick a color for transparency and the default one is white. . Each layer is allowed to have a different transparent color, you can click in the ... to change it. Note that frames also have a transparency color and if I'm not mistaken it is the color that will actually be transparent in the final image so if you want an image with a transparent background you will need to set the frame's transparent color.

>>135062151
>and the default one is white
so how do I change it to the same grey that I have set as transparency for my layers?

I have this little problem where the unity colliders get stuck on top of each other. I have two layers, onAir and onGround that I switch, this avoid the problem of a collider getting stuck above the other.
But as you can see, when you jump on top of each other, when the falling collider switch layer, it enter the collision on top of the other collider, so they get stuck on top of each other.
Dunno how to solve it.

>>135064128
I don't understand why overlapping is a bad thing.

>>135064128
have a box collider, disable it when you jump, when you land it should push you out.

>>135064379
they get stuck on each other.

Literally what do you nodevs want?

>>135066074
Hitboxes are different, the colliders or whatever you use for those only check for overlaps, they don't react normally to collisions as rigid bodies.

>>135066162
I'm trying to avoid getting a box colider to get stuck on top of each other when they jump.

is pretty obvious there will be some kind of overlap when one lands on top of another.

>.gif

>>135066374
Well usually you wouldn't want to use the native Unity physics for a fighting game, but since that's what I do here's a couple things you need to remember when working with it :

- Keep your hitboxes in different layers to save you troubles later. You can also use tags for a cheap way. Ideally, you'd have 3 types of hitboxes : Bound (physics), Hurtbox and Attackboxes
- Colliders with get stuck like it does for you because they use the force-reaction logic. If you want them to slide, you will have to create a PhysicsMaterial with no frictions.
- Obviously don't rely on standard colliders for hurtbox and attackboxes, use triggers
- If you're going with the native animator, learn about events and how to use them

>>135074319
It's very suitable yes.
There's several dedicated engines for text-based games, but they're for people who want to avoid programming.
The main downside of Python for game development is poor performance, but that's very far from being an issue with text based games. The other downside is it's a slight hassle to package it up as a easily distributed executable, but you'll deal with that when the time comes and it'll be fine.

Not a marketable game though. Have fun trying to sell your red square vs blue box when you can't even make eye contact with other human beings.

>>135075086
even more than 50% since the programmer probably uses an engine

>>135074986
because no one buys a game based on how cool your code is. They buy it based on how good the game looks. Then whether or not the game is fun they either keep playing or refund it.

Depending on how good the artist is he put decades of work into your game

>>135074986
If you are simply hiring an artist to draw over your programmer art then you are doing it wrong.
Art includes programming too with cosmetic effects and even game design with proper artistic composition.

>>135074986
Work load and skills. Art takes time and if the game has plenty of art assets then it's justified. If the coder is doing way more work, then it doesn't make sense of course.
Good art is worth more.

I have nothing again artists. But I don't understand why they complain all the time about money when they literally just have to draw shit on patreon.

They can even do like that girl and shamelessly trace shit too. So why are you asking me for money for a game that still is in the development part?

>>135076542

>>135076169
The work is already done or is an easily modifiable derivative, they should share it and perhaps impress someone enough that they get a kickback later instead of paywalling smalltime devs up front.

Because you don't need to spend 8+ hours a day on a pixel platformer. You'd better be making this shit in like C++ with SDL with your own physics engine. If I found out your using an engine I am going to flip out.

They just like holding it ransom despite coding and other dev tasks being more time intensive.

Then you should already have a working product and just be looking to contract out art asset work, which, given that the artist won't be working side by side with you throughout development, it shouldn't matter if they only spend a fraction of the amount of time working as you do, and this should clearly be stated when contracting them that you will be paying them a smaller percentage or a fixed amount.

Of course, none of this matters since you don't actually have a game.

I got the game in a bundle but I still want a refund on the time I spend. The story was the only vaguely entertaining thing about the game and they just got rid of all the major 'characters' midway through to replace them with a bunch of pointless ones nobody cared about and a 'villain' that seemed thrown together at the last minute .
