I made a short news to talk about art and the incoming Greenlight campaign.

>The main point of this work was to find a way to differentiate the game from other voxel / cube based games, such as Minecraft or Edge. I still intend to do a major graphics overhaul with a professional artist at some point.

>>138658018
The same way you do any piece. Layers. And in some cases, do each part individually if you want the player to move over and under things.

>>138658405
I mean if you look like Bailey Jay, that's one thing but

I'm trying to implement screen shaking in GM:S without using views. my idea is:
>have camera object's depth be smaller than HUD's so it wont shake
>create surface size of the screen
>use sprite_create_from_surface() to get "screenshot" of everything under HUD
>draw black rectangle size of the screen
>draw the sprite over it with randomized offsets

This should work, right? I tried to implement it, but it doesn't seem to work properly. It works when I get sprite from application surface, but that draws HUD too...

>>138658727
your game looks great but i think your challenge will be explaining it to your average player who spends 10 seconds on a trailer before deciding if they're interested

I still have to decide if I will make an Early Access. After all the game has been in free Alpha for 15 months.

>>138658018
its pixel art but the guy who made this didn't lay pixels individually, he just had a hard brush that draws 50 pixels per stroke

I'm starting the trailer with one million nanomachines making a giant superstructure.
I should write "ONE MILLION NANOMACHINES" on the screen to get people attention.

Here is the WIP trailer (you can activate subtitles), I'm currently casting people to make real good english voices:

id knock the basic architecture/lighting in google sketchup, then go into photoshop using pattern brushes

its clearly 90% modular, what kind of autist would do this by hand? now remembering when phil fish said he did every voxel by hand, for all 4 sides of each level, instead of building a randomized/modular detail system. 5 years of dev time i guess...

i really hate these "explain like im 5" videos.
nightmare mode: theres literally a voice explaining the game like a tutorial

its a trailer, not an infomercial. your goal is to get people hype. thats why AAA games are all set pieces and visuals now.

save the explanations for the description/features section where the people who are interested will continue reading. i know its hard as a dev because you want to explain how cool/deep your mechanics are, but it doesn't make a good trailer.

imo the purpose of a trailer is to keep things vague but get people interested. i also fucking hate when they show the whole movies plot in the trailer

They obviously did their best to make this, and it looks kind of neat, but it will never sell a lot of copies despite its low cost because kids aged 2-5 generally don't have Steam accounts.

So in the end they poured their hearts and souls into this cute little game, but they won't make enough money to make ends meet, and they won't be able to entertain more children with their creations because of their financial failure!

This frightens me. I don't want to end up like that!

The hype trailers work very well with genres people know. Especially Action, Shooters, etc.

A game like Factorio has a very complex gameplay and a very good trailer. But every part of the trailer is logically linked to another thing (mainly because it's a transport belt game), so they can this wonderful one shot sequence.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR01YdFtWFI

My trailer is more a Greenlight trailer than a simple trailer.
It's a trailer made to explain things, and talk about stuff which is not currently available in the game.
I think about it more like something between a trailer and a Kickstarter video, specifically made for people who will spent hours programming for fun in a game like this.
(but maybe I'm wrong)

I am making one of those games when the story is told in a strange way. You got bit of informations and you have to put them together.
It's like the actual opening video, told only with memes. Yes, it's cringe, but it's related to those people who force memes into their translations, the same way the narrator is forcing memes to make it look like he is "your buddy".

i don't think there should be a cinematic trailer because this game does not have alot to show

the game is in the gameplay, so the devs made the proper choice

>>138661023
greenlight trailer is same as any other. people come in to see a product out of 1000's, they have no investment and tiny attention spans. you have to grab them within first 10 seconds. the moment you go into explanations i think you lose them

sorry to being up this disaster of a game but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHgDoVgaSuo

here they show the uses of vehicles and the building, but its not boring. imo, thats what you should do. just show the nanomachines doing cool shit, with intercut SHORT bits of building just so people know "oh u build them".

they dont need a tutorial on how to play the game, at least not for the main trailer.

again this is just my opinion

I actually made an audition and got 30 submissions. I will pay $75 for 45 lines of dialog ($25 + $50). I paid more than most jobs, but there are only a few lines (the pay should be worth the job) and I wanted some quality.

There were some lulls in the explanation but it still had cool moments. I like the fact you put the gimmick right at the start with how the nano's work. Though you couldve simplified kind of.

This kind of genre sort of relies on actually seeing the puzzles and stuff be solved (Or just worked on). Which you did at parts. Examples: Space Chem, Infinifactory, etc trailers. The weird VA will atleast have people sharing/remembering the trailer for "So bad its good."

There is a total of 40 000 to 50 000 players for this kind of game. And that's when the guys who make it are very famous (like the World of Goo guys with Human Resource Machine). A game like Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts sold 770 000 units. Besiege, who is also about building and using physics, sold more than 1 500 000 units.
The "explosions everywhere with physics" games are very casuals, even when they can do really complex stuff (like Besiege).

I have to either focus on the very niche of people used to play programming games (and used to put tens of hours in them and wanting details), or take the risk to target a more casual public.
I will surely make shorter, more "action" trailers, but later. When there will be people who already know the informations I'm giving in the current trailer.

Pixel art is very much an aesthetic choice today and requires actual talented artists who draw from scratch right?

In the past did people just convert images like scenery to pixelized versions like pic related?

In the vast majority of games design is as important as the tech which means that making a decent game would probably require someone on the tech side and someone on the design side. Right?

If someone were to make games with the sole intent to improve their programming ability it's probably best just to use common art/design assets. Right?

Just kidding, this post is actually true.

Cubeman! Good to see you are still working on your insane psychedelic weirdo game.

Here's a tip for your Greenlight trailer.

First 10-30 seconds should just be visual eyecandy, activating, stimulating and intriguing. The explaining can come after that.

Don't worry about them not understanding things.

You first need to grab their attention. Then you explain the product.

>>138661605
save it for the game itself, putting it in the trailer makes it look like you don't know what you're doing, and that there isn't an interesting story

I've been following along with Fun With a Pencil, and my art still looks like shit.
Not even Loomis could help me, guess I'll go kill myself now.

Hi /agdg/, I have a question about an error I sometimes get in Gamemaker.

if instance_position(mouse_x,mouse_y,obj_thing)
{
var d; d=instance_position(mouse_x,mouse_y,obj_thing)
if d.image_index=0 {d.image_index=1}
}

The error message says that it doesn't recognize the variable image_index. Which means that d isn't equal to an instance. Which means that in the "d=" code it didn't find an instance of obj_thing at that location. BUT the thing is... why wouldn't it? It only reads that code when the if statement determines that there is an obj_thing at that position. Also, the error occurs rarely.

Is it possible that, because the position it looks at is based on the location of the mouse, there is some disconnect between the computer's cursor position and the game's code? Like could the error be caused when the cursor is moved at the exact moment between the if statement determining that there is an instance under the cursor but before it sets d equal to that instance?

I posted this question before, I forget if it was here or on /v/, but someone gave me a workaround. Still, I don't get what causes this problem.

I more or less agree with that. Loomis just has everything that people SHOULD be studying. Following his work just doesn't pay off quickly so I can understand why it's fallen out of favor.

>reading books about how to draw will not make you good at art
Not without practice, you won't.
Nobody gets good at anything without actually doing it a bunch.

Laying the groundwork for a sorta-RTS game "inspired" by Evangelion. You'd play the role of Gendo/Misato, directing the robots, getting the kid to get in the robot, directing the conventional weapons, damage control and so on, through some sort of faux-retro computer interface. Probably gonna heavily simplify the actual fighting, so you move your units into hexes/squares overlaying a large map, and issue more general orders, as opposed to the regular RTS formula. The regular RTS micromanaging never really made me feel like an actual commander too much, and there will be a lot more stuff occupying your attention anyway.

You hire people for the work they will do, not the work they had done. They know a lot about limited instruments and how to put several subtracks together. They actually are the only guys who are both composers and stop motion creators with thousands of little pieces (like nanomachines, but with lego).

Actual music is this one, it's not chiptune:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ru2I4ww5UJA

Pic related is part of the brief I sent them. I'm very satisfied by the work they done, due to the fact the music is very complicated (a 8 minutes track with 7 different parts).

Not necessarily.

In my case, I have someone who handles the art for my game and I handle most of the programming and design. Of course they give input and ideas, but the main features were thought of by me.

And the other advantage to being the programmer and designer is that you can make sure you program it to be exactly how you wanted it.

Yes I was also thinking about an island resort game, but I am not too sure if a big detailed island, that can be viewed from all angles and distances, is realisable in Unity the way I would want to, both in scope and technical limitations (Maybe if I can make my own terrain and water shaders that are optimized for good detail depending on distance and performance, but I dont know much about shader scripting)

I'm not even sourcefam or that other source shitposter, but I don't understand why Source isn't a valid engine in /agdg/? Some of this stuff is still ahead of its time, like procedural movement for enemies both bipedal and higher? The AI is still incredibly sophisticated compared to most of what we see in AAA games. The physics may have stagnated since then sure, how many other AAA games actually use physics as a gameplay mechanic as complicated as Source games? How is it worse than Unreal or Unity?

Some of this stuff is still relevent in the current gen. Still looks impressive as hell after all these years:

If you like source use it, no one here really does because 3d is mostly UE vs Unity.

Being talented or not, is like having shorter or longer legs, walking the same distance. One goes faster, one goes slower, one less tiresome the other more tiresome. But in the end both have to walk the damn road, so stop being a faggot and start walking instead of getting rustled over your short legs, or you will be standing in the same place forever.

>all these jealous notalent nodevs
man, it must suck to have literally no talents and envy naturally talented artists 24/7

huh?

one of my friends made cry of fear. i asked why not HL2 engine and he said it was a pain in the ass compared to the much easier HL1 engine.

its just a stupid walking simulator for now, might get some more stuff in tommarow

why can't you as a fellow artist speak up about this then. you should know as well as i do that art isn't "learned". some people have a natural sense of proportions and detail. if you were a real artist then you would know this

Those 3 legged tanks react to things that are in their way, they don't have canned animations. Say if there's a small house in front of them, they don't jsut walk around it or through it. They step on it, but not like an animation, but they move forward and their leg repositions itself higher. You can see this when they walk uphill or downhill too. Their legs lift up when strafing or walking up hill, and they stretch their legs down when walking or strafing downhill. It's not an animation they made speifically for moving uphill or downhill but because their limbs are reacting to the terrain height. They mix 'canned' animations with this procedural movement, so it looks convincing because they also shift their weight around like they weigh a few tons.

And some people are drawn to being literal garbage men, what's your point?

If you want to be a defeatist, might as well be good at something and off yourself then.

why can't you just accept that certain people are naturally better at certain things than others

Show me one with 3-legged enemies though.

>>138675281
Of course they are.
You're just being a defeatist and whining because you didn't get lucky and actually have to practice.
Accept you rolled a shit number like a lot of other people on the art-skills RNG and stop being a faggot.

hope a little less.
What's this gonna be though?

you're confused. i'm an artist

>>138674963
thats called inverse kinematics, it started on PS2 with Ico and SoTC

So who's the best dev in /agdg/? Overall.

No shitposting/ironic answers/favorites please, I just want to know who is the best we got. Actual best, not just your favorite dev.

>>138675817
post some of your stuff then.
I'll give it an honest opinion and not just blindly say its shit.

>>138675924
Stop bullying

>>138675963
why. i'm not looking for validation

>>138675924
Minus Hippo since he actually finished and released two games?

Love-dev was probably our most technically proficient.
As for "who had the most playable game".
Blockhead before he went MIA.

>>138675924
programming wise? maybe lolisim or cubedev
i don't know really
artwise can't tell because they come and go, in artistic capability alot i can't judge but far as consistency maybe mayhem league

>>138675757
so far i have conceptualized a cross between the horriffic rogue-lite genre, and pikmin. im not going to fuck with the latter idea for a while though

anybody wanna give me some help on animating this little fucker

>>138676109
I'm a dummy.
Mayhem is leagues ahead of blockhead.

ive only got a static texture attatched to a plane mesh walking around the landscape right now. im gonna need some scripting assistance but i feel like it shouldnt be a tough little hump

>>138675921
WaveRace 64 and Ocarina of time had this. Wave Race would have the entire body + the jetski react to the waves at different angles and in different directions. You can see the limbs stiffen when the body's weight hits them in the knees after coming down from the wave.

Zelda's was simpler with just the knees bending or extending up hill and downhill and even side-to-side of one knee was higher than the other.

Whether you want to call it dynamic locomotion, inverse kinematics, or procedural movement, it's all the same. PS2 did not invent this.

LS was always accepted here.
It was literally one shitposter like always that started a campaign and started stirring up and shit endlessly until he derailed threads for literal days.

Depends entirely on the tone of the game

unity got custom shit you can buy like kinect support,world generators
UE4 have blueprints out of the box
