Please show me your progress.

How do you program an enemy who shoots a slow moving projectile in the direction that the player was? What's the method called so I can read about it.

Vastly improved the enemy shooting, now they can accurately bounce shots off walls to hit the player. Its actually pretty nasty with several enemies, since you can't rely that much on direct cover.

How much does an in-house engine approximately cost out of curiosity?

>>136073959
That's cool. Are the shots 100% precise? As in, if you stand still, will they always hit?

>>136073921
is this for a game?

free, because if it's in-house, the guys making it are getting paid a salary

>>136074064
Depends entirely on the game. If it's an AAA game, I'd say several hundred thousand dollars if not a million. Keep in mind that a good engine will save the company lots of work which ultimately makes up for the price.

>>136074064
it's just code ie text retard, it doesn't "cost" anything

Don't be this guy

>>136074072
Yeah. Well, sometimes the bullets can hit an extra corner because the algorithm uses raycasting while the bullets have collision masks. So if the bullet trajectory goes near a wall, the bullet might hit the wall (even though the planned trajectory doesn't).

I've been thinking about doing that too, but I'm not good with public written things like that and haven't had anything particularly interesting to write about recently. That and most of the things I've been doing that are interesting end up being sort of technical and maybe not that fun for quick tutorials.

I guess I could writeup on how I do clouds (someone asked for it, at least) but they're not really that great and I want to fix them still.

As long as you put it on youtube and have good tagging and descriptions, people will find it. Especially lots of people look for quick solutions for GML issues. I look at people like Heartbeast, who is great, and see how you can use explanations to gather following for when you release a game.

GPU particles

With GML, anyone know of a good way to get instances of the same object to differentiate between each other?

In other words, I need a way to tell an instance to look for the next instance besides itself. This is for code to keep AI of the same type from bunching up together

Hey nodevs, here making a coop tetris game.

the game will be a Tetris game where two players will control two blocks on the same screen at the same time, one the right blocks and the another the left ones.

So, if there is a place to put your incredible block but its on the other side, your m8 will have to fall down letting you reach the other side (because the two block fall at the same time, and one cannot go thought the other)
also, there will be events, power ups and all tons of shiet
(for example, a bomb that eliminates blocks on an area, events like putting the screen reversed, or a lot of MLG stuff going on, lasers and saws that slice falling blocks , baking the bottom sliced part falling inmediatly, and more)

its has been just two months that i've been working with unity, and this is my first serious project, so expect bugs and shiet.

Started working on the next big mobile game. I call it 'Don't touch anything'

Well I literally just started so no actual gameplay yet, but I (kinda) implemented the walls fading from one random color to another endlessly.

No idea why there are gaps between some block though I'm spawning them at fixed intervals.

>>136082235
fixed intervals of what?
Time?
distance?
Either they're overlapping, or being placed wrong
Always place the next one at the end of the previous one. newwall.y = oldwall.y + wallheight

>>136081818
drop that name ideaguy and just like make game
noone cares about ideas alone

>>136081670
It's not really something that would've been done back in the days of the MSX or NES or anything like that.

>>136082471
Oh yeah I guess I didn't specify. I'm spawning them at fixed time intervals at the same position, then walls then move down.
One piece of wall spawns the next one and so on.

>>136082645
and what do you think im doing you sweet and curious person? that webm is my progress m8, I won't implement two player gameplay if I don't fix the Block bugs.

>>136082717
Actually some NES games did do just that. which is where the idea came from.

>>136082837
Which?

>>136082740
what's probably going on is the distance traveled in that time is greater than the height of the block.

There's probably more to it, considering the inconsistency, but generally using the position of a wall bloack, rather than x amount of time to spawn a new block will be more consistent.

That is quite brilliant.
The totally inhuman nature of the machine toying with you is wonderful. This is art in game mechanic form. Abandon whatever idea you had of making a 2d shooter and explore the expressive possibilities of robots bouncing stuff off walls.

i wonder why kurovadis is so popular then when it is a quarter of the resolution.
There will also be a profile/portrait, character portraits in scenes.
And you are pretty small minded to think the art is the biggest pull.
Immersion, sound, hitting a fetish you like and speech/description can turn people on just as well.

This is 4chan. You should know better than to doubt what people will fap to.

As an exercise in game dev, he's making a unique inventory, crafting as a mechanic, at a resolution that will scale well to most screens. It's structurally sound.

As long as there are some high res profile pictures, or half screen images to show the characters in more detail, the fappening will be happening.

31KB, 225x378px

Revisited that shygal thing I was working on last night. Thought maybe I could get past the lack of legs via a longer cloak.

It's one of the ideas I had for the game's lead villain, a "shy gal" with a Phanto mask going around collecting the keys out of some belief that she's some child of prophecy.
She's meant to be kinda an opposite to Mario, with her moves being similarly jumping and hammering. And as the game goes on she gets her own group of partners.


Is this looking like it has potential, or should I try something else entirely?
I feel she needs something more to her design if I were to go forward with it. Also, probably shouldn't make her default Shy Guy red, but not sure what other color she could be (I've been putting in way too much purple so far).

When I slip, I only slip northward until I start running southward. Slipping forward and back is weird, your inertia is only going to cause you to slip forward. It might take some people time to pick up speed into a run, but that's completely different from slipping.

You have to consider which will be best for your game.

For the gameplay part it might be best to instantly snap to direction of movement to keep it responsive, but it's up to you to balance it out to adhere to your vision.

I wasn't shitting on pixel art, just games that use pixel art poorly. If your game is going to run at 240x160, don't try to stuff a ton of detail into every screen. Design around the low resolution, or choose a larger resolution for your game. As >>136090537 said, "It's like the pixel equivalent of greebling".

Is there any sort of method or resource for learning unity scripting that's consistent and efficient?
I've watched about 10 hours of 2d platformer tutorial videos from four different sources, including the unity devs, and I feel like I've barely learned anything useful other than how to copy code that I don't really understand and can't build on or bug fix.
I've been trying to use the manual and scripting reference to at least work out what the various functions being used actually do and how to use them, but the explanations are usually so vague and abstracted from how they're being used in the tutorials that the explanation is practically meaningless.
At this point I'm seriously considering whether I should cut my losses go back to GM, even with all the great workflow features unity is rubbing in my face.

Do you basically need to learn C# before deving with unity to do anything useful it or is there some resource that I'm missing out on?

Well, actually, that seems to be how they do chomps normally in the games, at least in Super Paper Mario they did, just there's no line from the mouth to the back so it just looks smooth.

But no, Chump's not supposed to be cool or tough. My plan for him is to be an abused dog that Mario & Gloombob free and take along with them in the first Chapter.
2 damage, 1 defense, that sort of thing.
A mechachomp is a cool idea, but too strong to give Mario as an early partner.

I don't know what kind of logic you are using for the water, but adding some transparency to the color, and making it become an element of the foreground would do the trick. So the character technically moves behind the water, while he becomes semi-blue.

It's freshman year in artschool forever: the board.

Dunno if the /ic/ meme parrot is still around here, but the essence of his competence is that he can draw extremely dull pencil drawing subjects with half-decent technical capbility, but because his focus is on purity according to some school of technical and fundamental excellence he's completely incapable of producing something adequate for a commercial product.

Game dev is one of the worst possible industries you can try to make it in, even acting and music are arguably easier and have a better payoff when you make it.

There's plenty of opportunities for bedroom devs to make a living from it. It's small studios having to pay out for offices and staff salaries that struggle mostly.

Probably won't be a millionaire, but you don't need to be that to have a very comfortable life.

Gamedev encompasses quite a few marketable skills, so it's not a complete waste of time.

>multiplayer game
>so you can ignore the other players and interact only with AI

>>136097693
There's really no reason to learn the language other than the current game engine you are in

>>136097443
you need to add a panic button where you can blast away everything in the hall.
progress should give you bonus like that

>where players can realistically have sex with each other is going to be richer than fucking Gabe
But wouldn't that be, you know, messy?
Like I've fucked my sister, countless girls from high school, childhood friends, my mom, even myself, because I sometimes dream very very vividly. But then waking up and cleaning my pants wasn't nice at all. And I imagine online fucking would result in the same thing, willingly or not, more likely not.

>>136089123
Yeah, I think that looks better. You could even slide more if you want or change it depending on the surface.

They used their details properly. Being able to do more with less is a skill. Go look up how arithmetic beauty and aesthetics actually work. All you need to do to make something that looks aesthetically pleasant is express something complex in simple terms. This is why people get a kick out of deriving mathematical formulas and discovering physical laws, provided they're new as opposed to just trivial. The reason why people are willing to whack it to cartoons etc is because they'd often rather have an simple abstraction than the real deal and all the details which it contains. Pixel art is just another form of that.

I plan on making a rogue like, anyone have a recommendation for what language I should use?

>>136097908
english, like the rest of the first world

If you treat as something that may or may not supplement your main income, sure. The most reliable way to make money off it is to contract for those small studios, though.

>Might as well have been in fucking Greek.
>Might as well have been in C.
That part was for humor.
But seriously, there are reasons to learn other languages, once you learn one language (verbal and programming) it makes it easier to learn more going forward.

Coding language.

>>136098163
abstractions

>>136098163
In all seriousness, that really depends, and it depends on personal preference more than anything. Picking a suitable engine is probably more important.

>>136098163
First of all you should be picking and engine and going from there.

Second of all, what coding experience do you have? No offense but I'm guessing none based on the question

>>136097783
I don't want to fuck a fatty from the states that pretends he's a girl.

I want to 1:1 map my room into a digital one and have a slightly reluctant AI waifu that slowly grows on my as I pet her face.

VR tech isn't particularly interesting for multiplayer because you don't need a social aspect to gain more immersion and presence as you do on a a flatscreen.

Well I remember a game I saw (that ended up being a sham from a few years ago) that was a top down Serial Killer simulator essentially. The goal was to be a successful serial killer.

I was probably going to use C++ or C# as a language but I dont know about an engine

>>136098597
2D: Gamemaker
3D: Unity

>>136098715
Aimming 2d. Was going to go with ASCII like DF for assets

>>136098491
then you don't want a multiplayer game where players can realistically have sex with each other.
what the fuck are you even on about?
