maybe, ive been trying out a few different resolutions. my monitor is 4:3 so ive been sticking with that ratio, and 640x512 is a bit awkward for a speedy platformer (don't want it to be disorienting like some Genesis games). i'm probably going to go the nuclear throne route with a fixed ratio and side-art.

It's just daunting with Unreal in that if you ever did get something done to be released it'd be a nightmare to manage/update/patch/etc alone

Working on attaching multiple directional machine guns to planes, so that I can use them for bombers. Still need to give each gun its own AI rather than relying on the plane's like the fighters' guns do. Bombers should be fun once they're fully implemented

>>140915886
Proper design requires a lot of planning and research. You don't just go and draw shit until it's good, you need to actually approach it properly.

>>140915952
I like the Advanced Wars aesthetic. Though I'm guessing its a side-scroller wave-shooter thing?

The planes are a bit small if you want to have a lot of gameplay\attention to small details like individual guns on planes. If its going to be a focus maybe blow it all up a bit.

So they are. I'll have to work harder at memorising all the assets of every game I've ever played.

>>140916269
Pro tip: if you're writing something other than code, you're doing something wrong.

>>140916117
The background tiles are straight from Advance Wars, just darkened a bit so they aren't as harsh. I'm just using them as placeholders but I'd like to go for a similar aesthetic once I make my own

The size of the planes has been a big issue. It plays pretty fast and is mostly about using missiles, so most of the bigger sprites I've made don't move as smoothly. But it obviously gets hard to tell what's going on when they're so small. Just one of many visual design issues I need to work on

Added enemy. The animations are pretty much same as in previous version, but I try to get time to improve them. It's not possible to kill the enemies yet. Should I make enemies leave corpses behind when they die like in old version or just make them have death animation and add some shader or something to make them have some cool disappearing animation?

I might give armored enemies back that spark effect when hit instead of blood. Not sure yet.

How's the speed? I know the knight's slash needs smaller hitbox.

Depends how human\gritty you want your enemies to come across as. People don't tend to bleed that much unless they're dying, but from your oversized swords I guess realism isn't a factor

Speed is good. Looks engaging.

Every framework, engine, or language is going to be the same. You have to put in work, you're gonna fail a lot, and nothing is gonna work for a while.

Then use Gamemaker or RPGMaker. The hell you doing making an RPG in unreal.

Why did you listen the shitheads in agdg? Just use something simple which makes the job done. Like GMS or RPG Maker.

>>140923856

mageek knives. Gif skips some frames so it looks weird.

>>140923695
>It usually says why. Encoded it wrong?
I get "Error: Your image contains an embedded file.". I convert my files to webm with ffmpeg like I've always done. No idea why it refuses to work now.

>Why'd you restart this? It looks much worse than it did last time I saw you post.
Obliviously those tiles are placeholders. I still have all the graphical stuff from old version. I had to rewrite it, because the old code was so spaghetti and it would've took more time to fix it than start over. The gameplay feels lots better now and there should be lots less bugs.

>corpses vs disappearing
coprses were previously part of gameplay mechanics so there was reason for them to exist. I think with slopes they look kinda weird, so I'd honestly prefer if enemies just had dying animation and then disappeared.

>blood vs sparks
non-armored enemies would bleed, but armored would just have spark effect. They would bleed too, of course, when dying. Except if they are skeletons or something, obliviously.

>computer randomly turns off

>>140923615
> i have experience programming procedurally generated levels and AI
i take it you mean to say that your strongest skills is in programming.
i have a game idea for that skill i gave before that i dont think was ever used...
a simulator game about tracking weapons starting from manufacturers, distributing out into government and civilian resellers and further distributing out into civilians where they're no longer trackable (by the player) until they're used in a crime. the job of the player is to stop criminal purchasers by detective style analyzing the purchase data to figure out the best places in the branches of resellers to use their limited actions/funds to prod into the non-trackable areas of the simulation so that they can ultimately find major black market suppliers and arrest them.
or do you want something fresh?

>>140924270

>>140925195
lots of people pop open GM thinking they will be able to handle a RPG as their first game. When you are following tutorials to make your character walk and fight, it's safe to say that you cannot take on an full RPG as a first game. I don't know why everyone forgets this but you need to build your way up from small, single screen, games until you master the basics.

>>140925418
Making RPG on GM is possible, but it requires actual skill and knowledge instead of RPG Maker. It's possible to make one using GM, but it requires more skill than people think it does.

Progress.

I've made it so fatal damage that you take when you have >1 HP instead sets you to 1 HP. You still die if you take fatal damage at 1 HP though.

This lets me be a bit more risky with the damage values for monsters (as nothing will randomly one-shot you). Combined with limited healing sources it also makes the microgame combat more risky - every mistake can potentially cost you in the long run (as you can't just fully heal up after combat like in a lot of RPGs). It also adds some tense moments where your whole team is at 1 HP and you have to get perfect timing / completion on actions/microgames just to survive each turn.

Also working on updating the UI/menu system.

Hopefully I'll have something ready for demo day.

As a rhythm game fan I highly recommend that during heart action blast if you hit the arrows correctly they should disappear instead of continuing past the hit zone. Even with it glowing green I can't help but instinctively feel like I fucked up and it just looks weird to me.

>>140926316
I have collision box set for player and enemies. These are used for collision checks with ground and attack hitboxes.

Player has sword object tied to him and when PC attacks, sword objects gets hitbox sprite that matches the animation. When enemies attacks, they spawn this hitbox object which has enemy's ID tied to them. the enemy hitbox object gets sprite and image index that matches the current attack and will be destroyed after attack is done or cancelled by attack or something.

Then player does collision check to that enemy hitbox object, which checks damage amount, type and effect. Same applies to enemies too. It's not too hard with IDs.

I'm not sure how should I create my world map. It's a top-down grid map with square tiles. It's not gonna be a randomly generated map, think more of the 2d pokemon games.

Basically should I just store the tile information in a file and then spawn those tiles based on the file contents when the game launches?
Like I would write it down in a 2D array like this:
"tree" "tree "tree"
"grass" "grass" "tree"
"house" grass" "grass"
and then just spawn these tree, grass and house tiles after reading them.

Tell me what do you want to do? Do you have any skills on 2d or 3d graphics? Do you want to make 2d or 3d game? Do you have any experience with programming (java, c, c++, python, something)?

If you want to make 2d game, GM:S is pretty easy. Unity is one option too. You should start checking out documentations and tutorials. Once you get basics down (how to make movement etc), you can start with small project (try to make copy of pong, pacman etc). Once you have basics down, you can try to do more advanced stuff. If you want to do X and you have no idea how, you can google for tutorials. There are thousands of tutorials for Unity and GM:S.

I cant help with 3d stuff. I can do some animations and modeling but no experience making 3d games.

>>140927415

>>140927672
Essentially yes, but you're not going to store it as an array of strings because that uses a lot of memory and it adds up real quick. Use a char or int.
Use a tile editor like Tiled to make your maps, it's free.

It bumbs me out to see what the combat has become, honestly. With the old slow style, you had to choose your approach wisely but now with the mc being faster AND having more range than even the big enemies, it looks like the game is going to just be mindless combos :(

>Any recommendation for tutorials or guides?
Just google how IDs in gamemaker work. It will save you from LOTS of work, seriously.

Basically you have two objects.
>oEnemy
>oEnemyHitbox

Then you make enemy create oEnemyHitbox this way:
var hitbox = instance_create(x, y, oEnemyHitbox);
hitbox.owner = id;

Then have in oEnemyHitbox's creation event:
owner = ""; or -1 or whatever you prefer

then have it go along with it's owner with something like
y = owner.y
x = owner.x

And destroy it when "owner" (the enemy) stops existing or when his attack is 0 (i use state machine so it doesnt work this way in my game).

>>140929043
I will make that knight bigger when I have more time. I could slow down player's attacks with more delay between the attacks (attack animation speed would stay same, there would be just more delay so it would he harder to chain attacks) so there would be higher punishes. It's still not just mindless combos. More than 1 enemy is pretty hard to deal with, since PC has low HP.

>>140929289
Do you think that if I made it more execution heavy and less like hack'n'slash it would be more fun? Please tell me more about how you feel. Nothing is set at this stage yet. These same moves were available in previous versions too (except downwards slash), but they were indeed slower, so the combat hasn't changed that much. It's just faster.

Nothing is set at this stage. I'm open to all feedback and requests. Help me fellow devs and nodevs.

Looked cool when it was slow and deliberate, like classicvania.
Nothing wrong with speed, if that's what you want, but with combos it just becomes repetitive and shit, in my personal opinion.
Basic mechanics are always better than combo systems, because it let's the player assume more direct control of the character and its surroundings.

>>140930994
no

>>140930657
I could make it "slower", as in have longer delays. It would still feel like one attack is more important than combo. That would also give higher punishes for fucking combo up and make player approach enemies carefully.

There's still lots of ways to approach enemy. Duck attack is very safe and has long range, but it's rather slow and cant be cancelled to anything. You can dash and continue with upwards slash, but this is very risky as enemy can stab you in the face while doing so. One safe way is to attack with spell (like dagger) and then dash and attack.

I could post gif with slower attacks if anyone is interested how it would affect the gameplay.

All the people I've known who didn't play games, but tried to make them have made terrible games because they didn't have a good grasp on what good gameplay was and how people actually play games.
Virtually all of them tried to make games about an experience or a feeling that they wanted players to have, but weren't able to understand how the gameplay was actually supposed to create that experience or how it was supposed to be interesting or entertaining. Several in particular also lacked the ability to successfully put themselves in the shoes of players and understand how people actually play and experience games.

I guess it's like wanting to write a book when you don't read them. You can have a great story or feeling you want to share, but if you haven't experienced and studied good prose, then you're not going to be able to tell your story very well.

why has agdg gotten so bad lately?
I don't mean over the course of the last few months.
I mean the last week or so

>>140932973
Wow that looks sick. Really reminds me a lot of Ace Combat, one of my favorite games of all time. GJ anon!

>>140933237
Demo day is approaching and the shitposters are always mad during progress times.

>>140932616
There is nowhere else. 420 chan is dead, facepunch is dead, cripple chan is where you go if you want to be on a dozen watch lists.

This is it.

Whos that guy that does video reviews of the games here?
Anyone got a youtube link?

>>140933349
You mean Jupiter Hadley?

It's a girl

>>140933456
No it doesnt seem to be her im talking about

Is it fair to assume everyone has a scroll wheel?

>>140933691
I don't even use a mouse.

>>140929916
>I could slow down player's attacks with more delay between the attacks
I would like that allot.
I'm agree completely with >>140930657
I also dislike execution based combo systems because they make the game more about memorising button sequences instead of being like the old Castlevanias which where great because they were more about learning how to tackle the current situation.

I love games that punish you for rushing in without knowing what you're doing which is why Clarent was my favourite agdg game back when it was slow and punishing.

>>140933691
yes
fuck those who don't

>>140933691
yeah

>i know alot of people who made their first games

You have no idea how many people that play indie games are on terrible laptops.

I endorse this message. Stop pretending to be me though.

>>140933831
why would I want those losers playing my game??

>>140933917
i endorse your endorsement.

>>140932902

by execution heavy I meant that every attack would have to be thought and precise and would do lots of damage and missing attack would punish player, instead of just needing to hack and whack enemies for minutes without any thought to it.

I tweaked the delays slightly. Combat feels more heavy now and it's very risky to do combos.

>>140934332
well it's not one for any kind of game, it's for devs/fans of a very niche genre

Hope my first game won't suck.

Made a gun for my new friends that i've made yesterday.

>>140934640
I still think in a game dev support group, they'd all want to have their backs scratched if they've scratched others. Plus outside perspectives on a game can be extremely constructive.

Progress on my revised (read: remade from scratch) witch model. Now I "just" have to add her accessories (belt, thingie on the hat etc.), rig and animate.

I should focus more on the gameplay though, I haven't touched that in days.

Holy shit, that background for the Fog of War is amazing.

>>140935083
She's cute.

>>140934250
This happens in any dev community. The only devs who ALWAYS get lots of replies are girl devs and qt 3d model devs

>>140934250
post it so we can give pity replies

>>140934636
Ah okay well yeah I'd love that for sure!

>>140934826
Honestly, that looks like a weak water gun. Was that the intent?

If I import a mesh with 46203 faces in Unity and use it as mesh collider will I die?

>>140925721
Are you going to make the heal minigame more complex at some point?

>>140936256
It would be extremely painful

How much can I pay a pajeet or a vikram to write code for me

separated sword sprite from player sprite so that weapon can be switched. Only one sword currently available, I wonder if I manage to add second one in demo. Swords will have different speeds and some cause status effects but costs mp. I might add some special attacks to some swords, but haven't decided yet.

The animations are still pretty fast. Need to add more delay. The gif fucks up the speed, sorry.

I think I'm actually going to make it to demo day. Won't be taking off the previous demo, because it has more content and I'll probably leave it there for legacy purposes.

>>140936801
What if I made that combo only work when previous hit was connected so you couldn't spam it. Same for upwards slash.

Do you think it would be good idea?

>>140936801
you changed a lot in a vert short period. How much time are you spending devving per day?

This fucking system is so much work and everything relies on the data structures I made for it. I regret everything, is it time to trash my game.

>>140936964
It could be a good idea, with the right execution. Give it a go and see what happens.

Thing is, side scollers turn into button mashers when there is no obstacle to hitting the enemy over and over. Dropping the combo won't matter if the player is never at risk of dropping the combo. You should make an enemy to test your gameplay changes on, tb.h f.am.

>>140937389
What's wrong with it? All we get to see is how modular you made the ship customization. You could probably repurpose the data structures so long as you wrote them well enough.

>>140937389
You could probably make money off of that if you have good gameplay. Your artwork alone will make people stop and look if you try to sell it.

>>140937294
Depends. Sometimes I dev 24 hours straight with short smoking breaks, sometimes I dont dev at all because real life shit gets on my way and sometimes I just like to play video games. On average I'd say like 8 hours or so. I'm neet and all.

>>140937530
There are gaps where enemies gets attack in. Only options are getting spell in to cancel it or dodging away. The longer the delays, the more gaps there are. I'm experimenting with this now. I try to get rid of "infinites".

>>140936964
That'd be pretty interesting. Definitely worth trying.

>>140927481

>>140937775
Any idea of how many enemies you'll be fighting at once, yet?

I have no idea how to do level design or what random doodads to put in the background so it's not empty.

Does any dev know how to level design?

>>140938105
Depends. Trying to keep it pretty much same as in previous version, so easier enemies, maybe two or 3 and harder ones are meant to be more 1v1.

I don't plan throwing swarm of enemies, but few very well placed enemies so that they have advantage. That's what made Classicvania games so hard.
