/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

Real developers have a suitable board for there "general".

/sci/ is where important shit gets done!

But you wouldn't know about that, since you apparently spend all of
your spare time posting progress pics of circularized penises LOL made in blender on a pseudo /v/ board. Typical nodev bullshit.

Join us before the next general comes along, and remember that /agdg/ is actually better suited to /sci/
Let's all leave this /v/ infested shithole and join our comrades in code on the science board.

Motavio is easy to forget because he's always running away just after he arrives. Motavio doesn't really come that often either...

But hey man, when he comes and sticks around you're gonna jam and dev all day and all night for one day before you burn out!

loooool

>>135257060
>https://itch.io/jam/agdg-demo-day-8

So is the point of this 'jam', like it says, to encourage AGDG to actually work? Isn't a jam normally a 48 hour period in which teams attempt to put out a functioning game to the best of their ability?

>>135257650
It's an easily identifiable space where if one wanted to could find all of the currently worked on games from /agdg/ from those two months or prior depending on how far back you go, it's an easy way to see which games have been dropped, which games were finished, and which games are in perpetual dev limbo. It's also a great way to practice releasing builds to the public and get feedback from other devs/players. It's a bit of a miniature holiday celebration here.

>>135257763

Sounds good. I just started so it will give me a goal to reach for.

Reposting my little prototype. I got mad while trying to program the NEAT algorithm and needed some fun so I tried my hand at a FPS. I wanted to make it a fast-paced neon shoot-slash-n-dash with destructible enemies but after playing with physic settings I ended up with this 3d pong with shotguns.

Right now the wall just sends back the ball with force but imagine two players shooting it from each side. It's kind of fun.

>>135258370
Make it happen. It sounds neat, interesting, and, best of all, dumb enough that Youtube shillords will get tons of shmucks to buy it.

Yeah and it'd be even simpler to do than my christmas game. The most complex thing will be multiplayer but that's supposed to be easy now I heard.

-make shotgun model+shooting animation < 1 hour
-make a nice arena < 2 hours
-Multiplayer < 1-2 days of decent work

I could even add a "melee mode" where you have baseball bats.

Well in the sense of a jam you'd be correct, get as much done in a set amount of time possible under a given theme. /agdg/ is just using that format for their own way of archiving and sharing games.

Learned a lot about object alignment and modifier tricks while working on this.
Pattern is actually real geometry. This is probably a case where the player wouldn't be able to get close enough to really see that pixellation happen but I'm going to mix textured detail and modeled detail depending on how distorted a mesh is and how close the camera can get to said mesh.

What's your game's theme?

>>135262929
my strategy right now is to focus on making the basic RTS game mechanics work.

that way, once i have a framework or whatever with all the mechanics working the way i want them too, i can then turn my attention to art and models and shit.

so basically i don't have a theme. i'll cross that bridge when it comes.

A game jam can be anything you want it to be. It depends on who is hosting it and why they're hosting it. A jam can be 48 hours long, or a month long. It can have a very strict theme or no theme at all. It can have rules about making all assets yourself, or allow you to use free assets.

AGDG Demo Days are jams where devs submit a demo of their current project. Demo Days happen every 2 months.

hey guyz
no webm of this but i got CHECKPOINTS up and running. no more falling off a cliff and having to replay puzzles! the other thing i'm blocking out is the map screen. it's gonna be like mario 3d world where you can just walk around on it as you would any normal level, except it's a scaled representation of the entire game world, with each node bringing you to the appropriate level. early placeholders here but it's at least functional when it comes to the displaying/loading aspect. i have to figure out the structure of saving overarching game progress, though

Broforce is a popular 2D Unity game.
Of course I only know it's made in Unity because everyone is complaining about performance issues on console.

Nice, the landscape has a certain stylishness to it, and interface has a solid look and feel. The little dude's animation is a bit too skittery, like he's walking in fast forward.
On a purely presentational note: Viewing the webm embedded in the thread it's too small to make out the text. Cropping it closer would help with that. Or hope people are not too lazy to open it in a new tab.

Idk about your country, and what I know about wine is pretty much just from my friend that works in a wine store tasting wine and selling it all day. But here in Washington State he said that you can get pretty good wine at the 15$-20$ range, and then it jumps to like $80-$100 for even better wine, but most wine in between that range is marked up shit. Though he also said they actually had some pretty good wine for like $8-$9 which might be equivalent to $3 dollar wine from where you are from since we pay absolutely absurd tax in the US for hard alchohol.

Ok so now you dont need to hold UP to grab ledges anymore. Now you just hold the direction you're moving (left/right) and it will automatically grab the ledge. Also grabbing ledges resets your double jump.

You also only need to press UP to swing when under the ring. If you are perpendicular to the ring and tongue length away from it, when you shoot out your tongue you will connect to the ring.

hope this feels much better for next demo

that's because he has nothing to react with, he is floating in the dark with no momentum.

if there was another knight receiving the blow, he would then be pushed back a couple pixels to the left while the clash would create sparks of metal and blood splatter from the blow. there would also be that same blood being pulled away from the sword from the momentum.

>>135274048
what is /ll/?

>>135278013
Good question.
The initial idea was to just animate the water through its shader, and then raycast down from the player to get the water's height at that point.
But shaders can't modify colliders (just mesh vertex), so the raycast would always return the same value.

So, as some anon here proposed, I replicated the wave function in a script atached to the object, modifying its position.y
Now, if I changed a value in the material (like the waves' height), it should also change in the boat, so it floats accordingly. To achieve this, I'm using an empty gameObject that changes the values of the water's material, and the object's floating script.

Maybe it's overly complicated, but I couldn't think of a way to make it simpler.
I hope that answers your question

Fast moving boxes can skip over collisions between frames whereas raycasts won't.

You can do physics substepping and shit but I'm pretty sure most recommend rays.

>>135280405
By bounding boxes. You mean like a non colliding collider on the weapon model itself right? If it touches an enemy while active in animation then you apply the damage?

I just need to find a way to make it so that you can chain into the other melee animations. Like a player press the melee buttons it'll go from melee 1 to 3 and not melee>idle>melee2> idle.

Can using events in the animation clips make this possible?

that depends on the partitioning structure and the density of the geometry where the raycast is happening, you cant just assume its always negligible in every case

I'm confused how they paid a studio to make a demo for them, yet don't own the assets the studio made in the process

Actual devving very rarely. I mostly just look up stuff if I have some free minutes, write pseudo codes etc.

>>135283063
Yeah. When my kitchen chef isn't looking i sneak in a couple lines of code before i have to stir my soup again.

How did you find the time to add such impressive dev tools into the game itself?

I can barely be bothered to add debug logging...

Just got to GDC. Anything I should check out?

Hello C++ bros, I need some help.
main.cpp contains a global object.
func.cpp contains a function that tries to access that global object.
However, the compiler tells me that said object was not declared in this scope.

What do?

IF I convert my javascript and html game into an executable will it be much harder for me to get traction regarding alpha testing and then actual purchases? seeing as people will have to download it?

>global object
stopped reading there

>thanks to game engines making a game is just clicking on a blueprint map
I really hope this doesnt apply to any of you

I'm not the nodev getting salty over people buying successful games.
But what can I expect from the likes of you? Once a nodev, always a nodev.

>you will never be googums friend

>>135284317
That's not true. Literally everyone starts off as a nodev.

>>135281930
i don't want to give up but i'm going to have to, real life happens and you need to make money somehow. can't sit around deving trying to make it for your entire life
