It's because the OP is hates anything related to anime and changes it as soon as the thread gets close to 750 posts.

OP meme fags don't even bother realizing that something is missing and just copy and paste the old OP and change the title or "Edition" just for the sake of getting some "lulz!"

While in combat any attack will have a green, red, or blue special effect. These effects show you what you are draining. Attacks (though not all) can drain health, Stamina, or mana.

If the attack or event drains over 50% of your mana or stamina a colored explosion happens. (example here being the dodge).

I'm not going to respond to "lol get gud" souls fanboy go to argument. But I will note that "Clarent" A game being developed here is very complex and obviously has a castlevania/souls inspiration without adding an obnoxious green stamina bar.

Have you actually dealt with complex numbers? Because they are not the same as quaternions and only marginally more "difficult" than real numbers.

This. Maybe it's too "videogamey" for some people to have health be abstract and even have, like, damage bonuses at low health (to encourage risky play), but anyone who thinks "videogamey" is a negative should be shot.

>>143578238
>a game mechanic from the 1980s or earlier is permanent, discussing alternatives makes me mad
This seems like a sad perspective.

Not for the sake of innovation, but for the same reason we exchange simplistic data structures for richer ones in other areas: because it offers benefit.

Nobody said anything about obfuscating, or how it would be displayed to the player at all. But have you ever looked at the unit circle on a plane? Because that's a pretty simple display.

I'm not even advocating complex-valued health, it was an idea someone else mentioned (though I do think it could have some advantages), but the fact that you people are so convinced 0..full is the only solution is baffling.

What is a valid method of doing no draw in Unity? I want to hide things out of sight, but I still want them to black light so that shadows still get created properly.

Okay, here's one: you're very heavily implying that being damaged should not be a debuff. That's retarded.

File: unit circle.png (12KB, 591x495px) Image search: [Google]

12KB, 591x495px

>>143578747
One thing is you could keep "100%" as staying on the unit circle.

Recall that the real numbers are the horizontal axis, so the red bar is like your typical health meter, with 0 imaginary part. Now the yellow bar is ALSO 100% health, but it's got this other aspect. And blue is about 50% health, and has further angle.

So you literally just have more information, and it collapses down to the 0...full situation, if you just consider the magnitude. Why is there such resistance to any ideas here, wow? I wasn't even the one who brought up complex-valued health, but it sounds more interesting the more I talk about it.

You also have helpful properties when multiplying/summing polar form of complex numbers, wrt their magnitudes and angles

>>143579307
Why should it be a debuff? I can understand losing a small bonus while you're at full health, to reward extra cautious play, but if you debuff continuously as you lose health, you've effectively just reduced health to a fraction of what it would be because players will just kill themselves or it will be impossible to avoid getting hit more.

>>143578223
you should spend less time blocking out colors and more time texturing so you know what level of detail you're comfortable with

>>143579412
All you're doing is saying "this is more complex so it's better" without actually establishing how this sort of complexity will make things better.

>>143579307

>>143578689
It's just that you have to remember who you're making games for.
The standard audience wants some degree of familiarity for the stat that will probably affect their game experience the most. These bars should be a quick glance, without much other thought, unless the game is a very serious RPG that prides itself on realism.

I don't know what kind of benefit another system would offer, or even what another system would even look. Please explain.

Also I'm not sure whay you mean by a unit circle display? Just a circle filling up? Because that's still 0 to full, just with different geometry.

>>143579624
Yeah, loss condition is losing all of your health.

Again, lots of opinion spouting but no explanation.

>>143578137
>you cannot die
>>143579825
>loss condition is losing all of your health.
Did you forget what we were talking about senpai?

>>143579580
Say you have a few situations, each at 50% health. "50% and healthy" could be magnitude 0.5, angle 0 (or 0.5 + 0i)
"50% and slightly sick" could be magnitude 0.5 and angle 90 (or 0 + 0.5i)
"50% and pretty sick" could be magnitude 0.5 and angle 180 (or -0.5 + 0i)
etc.

and it's all packaged nicely in a z = |z|arg(z) number. If you want to apply healing/hurting, you multiply by a number with same angle, different magnitude. If you want to alter sickness, you multiply by a number with same magnitude, different angle.

>>143579307
This is where we tread the tricky ground of realism vs. fun.

Yes, it would be quite the experience to have a character that had to treat every laceration or else he get an infection, or had to constantly drink water to avoid dehydration, etc.

But it would be a terrible game. There are several early access games trying this, and that maintenance takes up most of the game, leaving no room for other fun things, like combat.

You, the developer, would be so busy patting yourself on the back for a realistic effect that you wouldn't notice that no one is having fun with your game or buying it

>>143579563
I should, but I got a bit carried away with the basic colors of my character that I forgot the main reason I did all this was to have a character with animations to work out game mechanics. I may wait till later to start adding detail

>>143579759
The data structure you use to represent health in your game is not the same thing as the visualization you present to the player. Players don't need to know complex numbers even exist.

What I mean by unit circle is the complex numbers with magnitude 1. I'm not talking about player display at all.

>>143579964
The idea is fucking retarded in the first place.

>>143579981
You can accomplish the same thing without making it incredibly obscure. Just have one stat for hit points and another for "sickness". If HP reaches 0 or sickness reaches 100, you die. Higher sickness could also sap your HP instead of just killing you outright.

>>143578223
I like the original better.

>>143579981
This feels like an excuse to brag about how well you know complex numbers, because you're not talking about how it would work in a VIDEO GAME, you know the whole purpose of this thread, at all. Pseudo-intellectual twat.

It's not really, and it wouldn't be player-facing. It could even be the good ol' rectangle bar, but colored.

But I'm tired of trying to explain, so yes, a real-valued 0..full health is the only way, you're right.

>>143579412
But this would be much more manageable if you just had two 0 to full ints. Instead of worrying about magnitude and angle, you could just heal/hurt by add/ing subtracting. the same goes with sickness.

Compact != more useful

check for place_meeting at x + (horizontal speed) or y + (vertical speed), then if it's a hit use a while loop to bring the object into direct collision with the other object

Was going to do bomb runner, ended up working on ceiling goo instead. Although I'm also working on a bomb variant that'll drop a single bomb from the ceiling if the player gets close enough to its line of sight.


Anyways:

1) Goo plops down at line of site to damage player
2) Goo spews tiny slow blobs below himself at the player. Straight line or minimal direction (10-30 degrees)
3) Goo drips larger drops than this that do minimal damage to player

What do

>>143580904
>>143579204
Loving all this bait.

>>143581276
Have the goo hang slightly off them before it falls, or at least some other indication that they about to goo you

>>143581352
I'd love to see all those bars in action.

>>143581217
would it work if I want bullets to stick (nail gun) and not go more or less deeply inside the walls depending on player's position? Like accurately stick in to the walls.

>>143581534
Yeah, the while loop runs until the object is flush against the wall. It's somewhere in here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IysShLIaosk&list=PLPRT_JORnIur3eKIaD-IayrdEt8pOor18

As much as it brings shame on my family, i really need an ideaguy for mostly story.

I'm making a game for VR where you are fighting angels (the crazy ones, not the "le gurl with wings" type), demons, and "old gods" space pirate trainer style. Except with diverse waves, multiple levels, bosses, weapon/ability progression etc.

But i have not come up with an excuse for a story yet, why the fuck are you fighting them? How will it end? Why and how do you upgrade your different weapons? Etc etc.

Almost all ideas appreciated.

Main menu theme muzak for VN.
Inoffensive enough?

Ah it's VR. Well I really have no clue what means you'll use to express the story, unless you want a Glados type narrator taunting you throughout the story. Like the devil or God. That would of course require some voice acting, though.

>>143582986
Yeah, had an idea that God would be speaking to you throughout, and the MC would continuously tell him to "Get out of my head". And then the game would end with the MC finding a mcguffin or an old god that tells him he can remove "it" from his head, whereupon the "player" seperates from the avatar MC and the MC shoots and kills you.

"You where his demon/bad guy all along feel that edge"

Whew, spent so much time on art assets I forgot how fun coding was. I think I stared dumbstruck at a screen full of code for a good 10-15 minutes before it slowly started to kick in. Almost forgot how to read it even with the commented parts. So many pretty font colors that I didn't even know what I was looking at.

But it's good to be back now. Time to make some real Yesdev progress. This is going to happen again when I switch back to art. I'm gonna stare at a blank screen and forget how to use a tablet.

it's actually not lag, the drawing is client-side and sent to the server, i just have it set up to only draw after X segments because if it's pixel perfect then a path coming from the server can close off the line and i'm not sure how to fix that.

i reduced the segments just now so it'll feel more smooth (but not pixel perfect). try it now

If the quads are mirrored and then turned into triangles, you'll get asymmetry in the texture mapping (affine). To fix it, you can make mirroring happen after triangulation.

The one upside to the obscene amount of time it takes me to do pixel art is that I've so far gotten shape correct on the first sittings, so when I come back to it I can focus on coloring

>tfw you get something work after many tries but the code is so mess you have to do it again properly to fix one bug

a 2d circle has one continuous side you melon.
There is no front/back distinction unless you arbitrarily assign them.
>>143596924
If we're getting sub-atomic, sure.

I sort of had an idea like that for an RPG. When creating a character, you could also control their age. A younger character would be able to spend more points in "physical" attributes, while an older character would be able to spend more points in "experience" attributes.

My game is an endless composition of state matrices

This is incredible, thanks for doing this.

I want to make a top-down 2D adventuring game, but I can't decide if I should make it real-time or turn-based.

>real time
How should I handle controlling multiple party members?
>real time w/ pause (ala baldur's gate) or turn-based
How should I handle multiplayer?

C# or C++ for making games? I'm new to coding (Python doesn't really count as being a programmer IMO) and I want to learn some coding with frameworks and such.

>>143597363
Solve both issues at once and make it co-op.

You're in luck.

http://www.glfw.org/

GLFW is lower level and has no easy 2d shape module, so you can either use SFML's with GLFW.
Or just use SFML and swap the modules out if you like GLFW's better.

Or if you're a mad-man and want to make your own wheels then just GLFW.

>SFML with GLFW

>>143597629
So C++ is the best option when it comes to game-making frameworks then?

>>143597363
Real time "recharge" for character turn. When a character is "charged" the game pauses for a few seconds or until the user is finished assigning an action for the character. (somewhat like Chrono trigger).

>>143597474
Try refreshing the cache (ctrl+f5 usually), I updated the styles but sometimes browsers hold on to the old versions.

>>143596483
I love it anon.

>>143597721
Most of the gamedev-related libraries and frameworks are written for C and C++, yes, but often they'll have wrappers for other languages.

C++ is the lingua franca for game development, in any case.

>>143597697
GLFW has no shape or text features, so like I said, unless he wants to make them himself, he's gonna need SFML.
>>143597721
Yes, C++ is the standard and will be for some time.

>>143597896
Yeah, but in that case you'd just use SFML. SFML subsumes GLFW, although GLFW is better if you don't need all of the extra features (bloat) of SFML.

>>143597148
Thank you anon. I'm glad people find it useful, that's all that matters to me.

What would /agdg/ and basedwebanon think about having a repository of agdg submitted public domain assets?

>>143597498
Kiiiind of? I'm thinking of making multiplayer opt-in and instanced rather than a persistent world.

>>143597451
Strongly considering this, actually. Alternatively, perhaps RT/wP for single player, and you select one character to group for fully-real time multiplayer?

>>143597748
Is this kind of like what Final Fantasy does? I must shamefully admit I haven't played Chrono Trigger yet (partly because the SNES is around where emulators start having too many buttons to play comfortably in a keyboard)

Made some shitty xbox controller icons so padfags can choose either playstation or 360 controls.

>>143597995
You know you can include only parts of modules you need right? You don't need to include the whole thing.
So the bloat argument is not valid.
But GLFW has better window features such as proper multi-monitor.

But yeah it's generally better to stick to as few libraries as you can.

Thanks a shitton Anons. I was thinking about asking on the programming thread on /g/, but I'm not planning on doing any professional work or become the new John Carmack, so I might as well as on agdg where you all are centered specifically around videogames instead of all sorts of programming-related things.

/dpt/ would be much less helpful, yeah, but not for the reason you expect.

>>143598456
Offcenter as in the fact that some are 2 wide and some aren't?

>>143598405

He's talking about Active Time Battle, where it's essentially turn based but every character has to wait for their gauge to fill up before getting a turn. Many of them have ATB.

>>143598325
I don't know, just thought of it when seeing the Assets tab, imagined an "AGDG assets" for some reason. Partly I guess because someone interested in an asset could post in the thread about it, like "would the maker of ___ be interested in changing ___" or something, I don't know. Just a thought.

>>143598405
That's a fairly solved problem anon. Having a contact link and willing to remove infringing material makes it a nonissue. Besides nobody gives a fuck about a website that's related to one thread on one board on 4chan.

/dpt/ is more for unintentionally finding out about obscure programming knowledge through conversation and shitposts.

They can be resourceful if you know how to use them, but anytime anon. Happy to set newdevs on the right path.
Just remember to not give up and actually do the challenge questions.

For 2D animation, is it usually better to draw your animation as a few keyframes and then drawing inbetween frames, or doing each frame as you go?

>>143598912
I've tooled around with stuff like that, but honestly I'm really weary about letting people upload things directly mainly because I know someone's going to be a wiseass and upload cp or tons of anime pictures or something. As much as I'd love to make features like that, maybe stuff like that is best posted here.

However, if any anons have their own repositories they want added to the free stuff sections (soundcloud, etc) I'd be more than happy to add it.

>>143599361

>>143599361

>>143599361
Really depends on your preference. Some people are great go-ahead animators, some people do better with following the keyframes tightly.
