if you don't mind the slowness, sure

If I'm making my own animations does it matter how many bones I use?

e.g. I have one for head, one for neck, one for each hand (not bothering with fingers), etc

>>143639738
You are the best judge on that.
If its your very first try then consider following a tutorial.

But if you know your character isn't going to have finger movement then you don't need finger bones.

If it a human character then its worth having a head and neck bone.

Why is there a penis next to that ball.

Furthermore wouldn't it be blue closer to the penis (which I assume is the source, where it's hotter)?

3d models and animation are hard and boring even to make crappy ones, but little 2d gui elements that I can draw in 3 minutes are fun to do

i have 33 d/l's at opengameart

>>143639738
I was thinking about doing that too. Most of the time my characters will have closed fists and their hands aren't probably going to be shown on their cose ups so I was thinking about only using 3 bones for all the fingers to be able to open and close their hands without having to rig an animate each the finger on their own.

>>143639738

>>143640372
I think you will have some issues with animating because of the model's topology.

The bone structure looks ok, Maybe the start of the wrist looks a bit high. (unless you are using it as a twist bone for the arm)

>>143640527

Is there anything I can do to salvage the topology or is it a case of making something from scratch?

desu I'm editing a template, I couldn't make something like this at this stage.

>>143640605
your topology is fine
dense topology don't affect the weights, its usually more about polycount

>>143640372
>subdiv
that's not for games. turn that shit off.

This is probably a stupid question, but in GM, how do I set the resolution? Is it the width/height option in room properties/settings? Do I need to set the same resolution for every single room? Why would I ever want to have different ones, won't that mess up my sprites?

>>143640652

I was actually considering lowering the polycount, though I don't even know at this stage what a decent polycount is for a low poly model.

Suppose I want to make a game that parodies various other video games.

What are the most iconic video game "scenes" that I could parody? (like how movies often parody Taxi Driver, The Matrix, etc)

>>143640527
Has anyone here tried Crocotile 3D?
Seems like it could be a great tool for easy and fast low poly modelling.

for a model basic as this, 1k polygons will do

>>143640690
width and height at room settings are the windows total size, if you want a huge world map for a rpg like game you can have a 10k x 10k room. Of course you don't want to show all of that all the time and you'll want to keep the window resolution to something smaller, like you too keep everything at the same size and don't mess with your graphics. That's where you use views. Google a little on that, you will love the shit you can do with them

I wonder if unity finally implemented some way to go from a ragdoll back to animation without snapping. They have been promising it for years.. so far i don't see it in beta.. shit i hate doing it the hard messy way with double rigs

>>143640945
I did a tutorial once, but his explanation of views was a bit janky.

Thanks for the explanation! I'll look into views more

>>143640968
it don't matter, those little things are not important yet.
the only thing that is interfering with animation is triangles and ngons

>>143641024
rs runs at like silky smooth 15fps, but that doesn't matter because it's basically turn based combat

>>143641156

Okay cool, so am I in an okay position to start animating now?

My intention for this model is to just have it as a loose basis to build my animations on them reuse them for all the human characters with edits.

Finally done with the cowgirl texyuring.
I'm not too happy about her mainly because I didn't have a clear idea of what hair/face/clothes to give her so I kinda came up with things while doing the model.

Now I either rig her, move on to cat girl or go back to retexture bunny loli.

>>143641332
then how do you explain the fact that ALL geometry is converted to triangles before it's put on GPU?

>>143641404
those are two different things

a quad that is cut into 2 triangles have different shading than a triangle you made
use decimate and triangulate your model and use specular and smooth shade on it and see what i mean

>>143641310

>>143641597
on the contrary, triangulated quad will behave exactly the same as two triangles, what you said doesn't make sense. your model editor and the game are two different things

you can fuck up any face to deform terribly, triangles and ngons have nothing to do with animation and not using them won't save you from problems. it's a subdiv modelling boogoeyman that has nothing to do with realtime models and animations

Got my 4 starter spells up and running. A single target spell (flame bolt), an AOE spell (fire ball), a spell that uses a different skill (shock), and a healing spell (cure light wounds).

These 4 test almost everything, except for spells which don't require a target to cast. I expect that works, but I don't really know until I add a spell like Cure-All. Another time though.

Next up I have 3 magic tasks left before I can move on:
- Characters shouldn't be able to cast spells they haven't learned
- Characters have to learn spells from spellbook items (and must have the required level of mastery)
- Spellbook pages shouldn't be visible if the character doesn't know any spells in that school

>>143644419
Only AFTER you've already gotten massively popular, and then it doesn't really matter anyway.

>>143644491
i don't know what you wanna be doing so i can't say that it's wrong

edit mode reverts the pose to default state (hiding what you changed in pose mode). unattached bones can be moved (not only rotated) so i'm pretty sure that's what happening.

>>143644081
because edit mode is for editing your mesh and pose mode is for posing your character.

in object mode you still get the pose mode preview

>>143644726
clear the pose. there might be a key for that but i'd say just go to pose mode, select all bones and press alt+r, alt+g, alt+s

>>143644726
your pose is always set to the first key
if you want to clear the pose disable the armature modifier then parent the weights again when you are done editing

You need to smooth the walk animation when going up the stairs- it resets when you collide with each individual step so you kind of spasm up them instead of walking.

Well I mean more like "tips and tricks" and when to use which kind of curves, and that kind of stuff. I'm sure even seeing a professional and his workflow with no commentary would be beneficial.

If you genuinely believe LLC isn't a meme you have no future.

This is probably a stupid question but is raising anxiety nonetheless. I'm having trouble deciding if using unity is worth it. The pricing kinda turns me off as I already purchased GML on a humble bundle package a while ago. However, I feel like If I don't use unity I might end up pigeonholing myself by only using GML's scripting language instead of sharpening up my C# skills with Unity.
Any advice and feed back is welcome.

I want to make a top down action rpg that you can jump in. In the future I'd like to make some 3d environments with 2d sprites in the spirit of old ps1 games. I figure that will be too much right now and just want to focus 2d. I saw Unity has some good 2d support and uses c#.

I guess I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to go the extra mile. I'm also kinda worried I'll pick a bad engine if I go Unity because of its rep.

Thanks Anons. I've been watching some videos for tools with unity and it's vastly superior to GML from what I see. Especially sexy is this Pyxel tilemap importer which lets you directly import tilemaps into unity.

You shouldn't make a decision only based on what two anons tell you. GameMaker is definitely better for 2D. And thhat tilemap whatever you're talking about is worthless in the grand scheme of things.

Tell him a real dev from a real company that works with a real programmer for real money who puts real comments in his code that your guy would consider unprofessional says to consider the fact that he has never met or worked with this phantom 'real programmer' that he's so afraid of and neither have I.

But wait, there's more. We work with another one-man studio. That guy leaves even more comments than my boss does that your guy would consider unprofessional. These are programmers who built an entire game engine and accompanying JIT compiler. Google's code has 'unprofessional' remarks in them. I put 'unprofessional' in-jokes and such in all my concept art for the game.

Tell him he doesn't know what a 'professional coder' (or a 'professional game development environment') is. Code-comments are good documentation and a good stress relief and he's bogging down development by forcing you to whitewash the codebase rather than make the game. Ask him what his objective is: selling the codebase or making a game. We all fuck around a little when we make games; what's the point of it if you're not having fun? It's not like your customers/players are going to see your code comments or my terrible concept-art jokes.

I'm the anon who've replied to you positively about GM. I did so because GM is the engine I choose to work on for the next couple of years. But that's just me, I'm not you. You could very well find your way with Unity2D and realize whatever you wish to realize. Besides I noticed /agdg/ being biased towards GM regarding 2D (I'm guilty of this too), I'm pretty sure no one exactly knows how good Unity2D is because none really have tried much more than that. Worst case scenario if you realize Unity2D isn't quite what you need then just somehow "port" your game to GM.

My point is no matter how many questions you ask here and how many replies you get the final decision is yours. Engine are just tools, what matters is what you wish to do mate. So download Unity and try it out yourself. No reason not to. If you consider yourself to be a dev that's the least you could do anyway, and you'll gain some experience by doing so.

>>143657978
Same thing as GM, as C# is rarely used outside of Unity.
There's people who move from Unity to Mono for enginedev.

But ultimately C/++ is the only "portable" so to speak, language that carries over.

But don't get it twisted, GM/Unity are still fine.

The AGDG May Recap is now officially online at recap.aggydaggy.com! Thanks to everyone that submitted games and gave feedback. If I messed anything up (or you want more stuff added to your gallery) or you think your game was missed, please let me know.

I'll start taking submissions for the next recap (June) Toward the end of June.

Here's what's next for the tools site:
> Design changes based on tons of feedback from anons that it's "too big"
> Tutorials section to link useful documentation for engines, coding tutorials, getting started guides, etc
(If you have content you have written or that you found useful and you want it linked here, let me know)
> Some anons have asked for a "collab" section. Not really sure what this should do. Ideas?
> Still offering subdomains to anons that want to run gamedev blogs or want something to link to that isn't xxxxx.tumblr.com

I'm going to take a break this holiday weekend to get some actual gamedev time in, but in the meantime please leave feedback or suggestions either here in the thread or e-mail the site at [email protected]

Thanks again for putting up with my nongamedev nonsense and I hope this stuff has been useful to you guys so far.

How come /agdg/ is saying the exact opposite?

Saying "le it has some games made in it therefore it's just as capable" is a horrible argument because 99% of games are programmed in C++.

I'm so retarded. It felt like the gameplay was too slow and a little bit boring. The problem was that the arena was just too long, making travel time between each goal really long. I made it shorter and it's much more engaging. This could be a cool idea for a "mutator mode" where you choose the length of the arena for different playstyles.

Excellent

That's because it wasn't RPGMaker. It was made with Monogame/XNA.

>>143659094
In my case: GM is faster to work with in a lot of ways. It's not the faster engine - but I'm a lot more agile in the prototype stage in GM than I am in Unity. I partly blame the half-second to 3 second load times for any change I make versus those changes being instant in GM:S because GM:S doesn't recompile the whole codebase every time you make a change - just when you try to launch the game.

Maybe it's just that I have to sit through it every time I want to test changes made to the boss, but the transition from Tier 9 to Tier Max feels slow and uneventful.

I'm sure there was a time I thought that 50 seconds of build-up felt pretty hype, but now it feels too long.

So I cut the whole thing down to 25 seconds, made enemy reclamation more immediate (it's jarring here because normally you'd have to clear a Tier to trigger this, so there wouldn't be any nearby active enemies to just pop away), and added a thing.

And by thing, I mean WARNING! A LARGE ENEMY IS APPROACHING AT FULL THROTTLE. According to data it is identified as a greater gunship. NO REFUGE.

If you can't tell, I had a bit too much fun making this.

BTW, If you can't read it due to the god-awful compression, it says

WARNING!
Incoming Titan
Forty-Story Footsoldier
BIG JIM

The tag and the boss title can be specified per-instance so, for example, the second level's boss would be

High Speed Urban Assault Vehicle
RED GUNSHIP

or whatever.

This is also sort of interesting with a bit of selective opacity.

It's so high resolution that the pixelart needs to be upscaled something crazy for it to work, though.

protip make the giant dude's animations slightly slower. It sounds retarded but it works wonders to create the illusion of size and strength.

>>143660921
How do we know you aren't being sarcastic now?

>>143661273
Because I used an image to show that when I said the design was "very original" I was clearly being sarcastic. Sarcasm doesn't go over very well with imagery.

Texture Painting in blender and nothing else.

Sometimes I don't know where to draw the line between procrastinating and progress.

So I'm making my own game engine from scratch and I've finally got around to implementing sprites.
All I've managed to accomplish in the last hour is implementing an idle animation where if you remain idle for too long the animation will play the second loop. I guess you could say progress.

>>143661330
>outline

did you really do that with texture painting?

>>143659048
>>143660547
Make up your minds.

>>143661336
The boobs bounce to many times per breath cycle. But hella nice art mate

>>143660325
Yeah I know (I used it for testing round-end time-over stuff) but that's still a PITA.

>>143661149
Actually the animation you see is the fastest, and it sort of has to be since it's less about movement and more about falling (which has nothing to do with size).

>>143661336
Did you draw that? Is very nice.

>>143661475
Yeah. It's surprisingly easy actually. Since with texture painting mode you can zoom as much as you want you can be pretty precise.
Ok I guess I also used UV/Image Editor mode for the big shadings but the precise word was done in texture painting.

The texture is 512x512 by the way.

Sure you do, Eternal Anglo. But are you honestly, refuting the fact that unattractive woman exist? because that was my central point. And a vast majority of lesbians are mediocre to plain unattractive. Very rarely will you find your yuri animes fantasy super hot big busted Hollywood lesbian bomb shell. Pic-related, those are biological lessy woman, not trans.

It's just like how the wealthier the husband, the hotter the wife.

...you do know that all things accelerate due to gravity at the same rate regardless of size or weight, right?

I could probably slow down the bit where he stands back up a little, though.

>>143661896
so a man with a tiny parachute that weights the same as huge parachute will fall at the same speed regardless of which parachute he uses?

>>143661896
>you do know that all things accelerate due to gravity at the same rate regardless of size or weight, right
This is wrong.

>>143662108
>>143662198
Technically, they accelerate due to gravity at the same rate but decelerate due to air resistance at different rates :^)

Still working on the effects but I got a zelda inspired spike trap that will ping back and forth to try and stab the player, and a diamond switch that activates stuff when you break it/elevator going.

Which one is the better format? top or bot

Same exact code, just that top is all on one line but falls outside the window so you gotta scroll to see the rest of it, but the bottom one is weirdly formatted to me, not sure how to make it look organized without making it confusing to look at.

Air resistance mang.
Didn't you do the rock and feather thing in school?

Regardless, he was trying to say that Jim needs a more exaggerated entrance to illuminate his size.

Also your screenshake should be delayed a bit.

>>143661325
well the character is a homage to monty python so the joke's on you

>>143662295
Didn't your game look much better than this some months ago? Not that it doesn't look good now.

>>143662273
>>143662331
wasn't this about falling though? or are you moving the goalposts? the place in the game clearly has an atmosphere since it has clouds and shit so air resistance should be accounted for while falling

>>143662404
A carbon copy isn't an homage, it's a rip-off.

Every programmer fag will tell you the correct way is bottom, even though it uses up more lines of code.

>>143662379
I prefer the latter.

>>143662379
The one you prefer its that fucking easy. I'd personaly prefer something in between though

>>143662459
Are you judging it by its prototype room im programming shit in, or do you mean in general?

Or are you talking about the HTC VR version im doing on the side for valve? That is a different game entirely just with the same assets and name/IP tied to it.

>>143662485
Doesn't look like a carbon copy to me. Seems more like what you're saying is a rip off is 'anything that might possibly be confused with an existing thing'. That's a pretty broad definition, anon.

Why is gamedev so creatively bankrupt?

a good 2d moba

>>143663020
Because of people like you bitching from nodev land, instead of working on raising the bar.

>>143663020
Not so much creatively bankrupt as preferring to work within the bounds of design that it knows works rather than try new and funky things that may take who knows how long to do.

>>143663020
after some devving people stop being able to tell the difference between documentation and oppinion

>>143662689
The visual design is essentially the same. Obviously, there's no indication of his personality, so it's hard to say.

Still, let's consider it:
>looks the same, personality the same
THAT would be a carbon copy.
>looks the same, personality different
Misses the whole point of the joke, and comes across as an "epic reference".

A better homage IMO would be one that continues with the joke of "too stubborn to even die" without completely copying the slapstick aspect.
