Thank you for posting best girl

in case you don't know about it, here's something cool
ithare.com

also I posted this a few days ago, but some people might've missed it gameaipro.com

WHO IS THAT ANIME GIRL AND WHY IS SHE ALWAYS IN THE OP

WHAT DOES SHE HAVE TO DO WITH GAME DEV?

1-3 - music
4-6 - programming
7-9 - 3d modelling
0 or dubs - sketch whilst listening to music

jesus I should really get started

vampire bit is pretty fun my only issue was that the controls seem a little sticky

what? who? why?

>>143969016
Programming is the truest dev anyway.

Never heard of a music developer or a art developer.

There are two kinds of people in the world, software developers and nodevs.

I'll ask here before I go with my implementation of a solution.

I have a lot of information in my save file, say, in total it's 50MB.
Saving and loading that would take probably 5-15 seconds~ (let's say, not actually testing it, but it isn't instant)

I want to save information every second, maybe some coordinates and some basic info about the game, nothing too much. Individually, it would take up maybe 5KB max if I serialized only what I needed to update frequently.

The problem is, right now I have a single save file, and if I update it, I have to update ALL of it.

>How do you/would you approach this?

My solution right now is to have a single class which stores extremely basic information and a list of strings which are filenames.
Then, I'll have individual chucks of info written to their own files.

When I go to save, I only have to save the info I want and the 'base file' that contains the filenames.
The end result is I may have hundreds of small files that I can update rapidly.

I feel there's a way I could turn all those files into 1 somehow, but I'm not sure how.
Though I don't think there would be a problem with what I'm doing since saving/loading tiny sizes only save a few milliseconds, which is fine since it runs on a different thread.

Programming it is.

5-9 - Targeting system


>>143969190

What is your question?

>>143969204

Gotta do it all if I want to achieve my dream, but it feels good to do programming.

>>143969261
>I want to save information every second
Why? Just keep it in memory and write it to a file on exit.
If you're worried about savescumming or whatever don't bother, cheaters gonna cheat.

SSD owners everywhere hate you.

>>143969261
splitting up a huge file to update it faster is the standard solution, yes

that said, 50mb of save data seems a tad ridiculous (unless you're talking about some huge proc gen'd world or something)

>>143969261
> the Linux choice
mmap the save file, write your position updates
> the nigger choice
sqlite
> the patrician choice
compress your save file, use LZ4 or other fast method such that it can be written faster

>>143969204
>>143969016
I think only game design is true game developement. A good physics engine or a smart AI in a maze does not make a game, however a well designed level, a celver puzzle mechanic does. I love this general, but it's kinda sad that what happens here is mostly art or programming discussion. That is the reason why seemingly promising concepts turn out to be average or bad games at demo days. Because we discuss what looks cool and not what plays fun.

>>143969467
As long as Unity can guarantee that it calls a function on exit, I'd be fine with it.

That'd be preferred, and I'm not worried about cheaters

Reminder to all nodevs or yesdevs having a break - play demoday/jam games and give feedback.

> make games you'd want to play

Anons, I have serious issue with this. The games I'd want to play are RPGs with
> deep story
> varied characters with development
> 100h content minimum
> great visuals
> music worthy of a symphony
> cutscenes and full voice acting

I literally can't make games I'd want to play, one lifetime is too short to become a great composer while mastering every other area in that as well.

My gf almost broke my dick with her thicc this morning

>>143969524
>compressing a file then writing it is faster
That's not necessarily true.
Compression time + writing smaller file might take longer than writing a larger file.

>>143969561
True.

Programming involves more design than art however, so programming discussion is more inclined to lead to game design discussion.

to be honest you dont know what you want in an rpg...
how about you sit down and detail what you want, eventually you will find its not impossible...
if you know what you want that is of course

Ok I beat the dragon, shot the weird pink bunny things and sucked some villagers. All nice waifu jam games, good job devs.

All that's left is Waifu Quest. Is that actually a real game? It's 60mb and there's no proper screenshots.

>>143970178

I know exactly what I want, it seems you don't know what you're talking about.

> what is deep story

> how visuals
That question doesn't even English
> like what music
Shedneryan, FF6, some of Nightwish
> why cutscenes and voice acting
It increases immersion like you wouldn't believe.

>"Well, it's not possible to create the perfect game, so why bother making any game at all?"
If you're gonna be a 1MA you have to limit your ambitions to something that's feasible for 1 person to do in a reasoanble amount of time.

Figure out exacly what game you'd want, and then try to narrow that idea down to its core and make it as small and simple as possible, while keeping in mind what you except to personally achieve not only code-wise, but also graphically and musically. If you're not happy with the idea that you end up with, you need to either git gud, come up with another idea, or not be a 1MA, or any combination of the three.

these threads huh

>>143970638
>or not be a 1MA
That's a shit suggestion.
1MA is the only way.

>>143970425

>>143970381
He posted a webm to the thread when he first released it. I don't think it's a virus or anything. It looks like a standard Unity game.

>>143970638
It's not about >perfect, rather it's about >enjoyable at all. I'm not able to create a game I'd enjoy in this lifetime.

> then do simpler games
I've finished more games than 90% of agdg. It obviously doesn't satisfy me when it's done for trying tech out, or money, or for others.

Dreaming big might seem to be a good thing, but actually it is not. Like others have said it, you think you have an actual vision, but in reality, you don't. Having astonishing cut scenes, ear blowing orchestras, waifu characters and Tolkien level fantasy story does not make a game. What makes a game is concept. Tetris has become a well know game because it's concept is simple, the game play is easy to understand yet it is deep under the surface.

"Just" find your concept. Find that story which you want to tell the most, then find the elements which can help you tell this story. Many like to shit on Undertale, but it is the prime example of this. The dev realized that he does not need good graphics to tell the story which he had in mind. Hell, in the end, it even adds more to the whole experience and to de-constructive game play.

Explosions don't make a movie, anon, but there might be explosions in a movie if they have a reasonable place in it.

>>143970381
>pink bunny things
Weird. They were meant to be brown.
Maybe I need to calibrate my monitor.

new jam idea

call it "just like fly plane"

theme is planes

>>143971252
That theme sounds plane boring.

>>143971195
Dreaming big and then figuring out what the core concept of that dream is is a good exercise in design. Indie games succeed based off really solid core concepts. Keep dreaming and then take those dreams and apply design principles until you have a viable concept.

Getting rid of unnecessary components that don't add anything to whatever experience you're trying to evoke in the player is the core of good game design.

>>143970381
I'm glad you enjoyed sucking those villagers, anon. I wanted to make an actual animation for it but didn't manage to make it look good in time. Someday, maybe.

>>143971226
They looked brown to me, but I'm somewhat color blind.
Anyway, I liked your game, senpai.

jam idea
make money with game

>>143971195

The thing is, I don't much care about game mechanics, I play for the story. If it had astonishing cut scenes, ear blowing orchestras, waifu characters and Tolkien level fantasy story, I'd play it even if the game mechanics consisted of cookie clicking.

> Explosions don't make a movie
This is something we frequently fight over here. I say a good story makes a game, and the job of gameplay is to advance the story. This in turn makes a lot of anons really buttmad for some reason.

>implying you need huge budget 3d graphics to make interesting characters and story

you need some VN tier emotive sprites and good writing, that's it. you can tell your big story on a budget of a few thousand dollars

Did you intentionally target some console, given the looks? It looks doable on a SNES or Genesis, a bit too much for NES.

Well, if he wants to make a AAA game, and can't settle for anything else, clearly 1MA isn't a feasible solution for him.

>>143971093
You seem to be entirely focused on the problem, rather than on looking for solutions. If you honestly feel that the only way you could make an "enjoyable" game is if you were either a millionaire or you were immortal, you're simply being ridiculous and entirely dismissive of any possible solutions.

>>143971710
This is also something we fight over often. It needs to be a game, because the immersion is magnitudes higher vs a book, a movie, or any other medium when your choices affect things.

>>143971729
Your artstyle is like early 2000s webcomics.

Pretty good collection of cliches. Have at least 2 be non-cis and you're golden, the rogue and blackadin are good choices.. I'd also add a unifying colour or uniform piece or something to all of them.

>Pokémon Sage is an upcoming role-playing video game developed by members of the 4chan board /vp/. Sage is a fangame of the Pokémon game series with an entirely new region, plot, and cast of human characters and Pokémon creatures.

they have 50+ devs all working on this game, not counting the artists/musicians/etc

they literally have more devs than all of /agdg/, collaborating together on a single game

is this the true power of pokemon-ism?

>Game resolution.
>Palette colors and the way they can be used (amount of total colors, and how many of them you can use in a group of tiles or on a sprite)
>Sprite sizes
>Amount of channels for the music and sound effects

I probably went over the top with the amount of actual tiles on the background, and the amount of sprites on screen, (it would probably cause a shit ton of flickering on a real NES), and the yellow layer on top of everything when the sun rises (it can be done on a real NES but the effect won't be that noticeable.)

Maybe some day I'll get back to it to add all the ideas I had in mind and double check the limitations to make it even more accurate.

The majority of those 'devs' probably chipped in one pokemon design to get into the credits.

You could get it made for a real NES, physical release and all, if you can get the limitations squared. If not, SNES or Gen are good targets - much more sprites, I'd say hellish flicker would take a bit away from the enjoyment.

>You could get it made for a real NES, physical release and all
To be honest, that would be a dream made true for me. Playing NES games as a kid is when my whole "I wanna make a game" thing started.
I tried learning Assembler for NES games, but it the end it was a real pain in the ass. I admire the knowledge and patience of console devs.

>>143972870
Thanks, I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
I was thinking of expanding on it myself, both making the casting system more complex and varied, and making into an actual RPG with overworld, story, different spells and enemy etc.
I'll put it into my "game ideas" folder and go back to it eventually.

>>143973102
Please, do. I would play the hell out of it, and I can see a lot of people doing it too. It could even work great as a mobile game.

With the patents expired, there's several companies making new physical games for NES, SNES, Gen, GBA and a few others. You could hire some, and some have publishing programs.

There's little need for asm unless you run into performance constraints, most of what I write for NES is in C. I've made several NES games, and a few of them are already in physical distribution.

If you want to make it a reality, look up 8bit evolution, they have a setup for people like you, though the bare program assumes a ready game - if you need programming and music too, the terms might change a bit. But finish the game first, and check limitations, so that there's more to work with.

20 concurrent connections are pretty low, considering a strategy game that may go on for about an hour each session.

>>143973678
Technically you can still use the old raknet API or any other external API.
That said, what is up with the criminally low CCU numbers on all the network providers?! Photon is the same. 20 CCU is complete bullshit, a game that has any success has at least 100 concurrent players at any time, heck even back in the modem days, fallout tactics (that was hated by the fallout community) had 300+ players.
Anyone have any experience with the steamworks P2P? I'm considering switching to that, just worried the punchthrough/relay service is not reliable enough.

I have completed two game before and I wanted to make a game where I could create some 3D models, rig, animate and control in Unity.

So I needed a really simple idea where the game focuses on a few characters.
So I thought of an pet simulator, the idea has been done loads of time before, but usually with more popular animals like cats and dog.

I thought of an animal which would be fun to make in 3D but also not been done loads of times before, so I ended up on ducks.

I can't compete with ducks.

In blueprints I have some errors like "cant access X because its due to be killed", nothing thats causing any functionality issues just simple things. Putting a "isValid" node in makes them go away, but is this a valid option? Or am I just putting a band-aid over it so the error messages stop and I should find out why its happening to begin with?

NES sprites can only have three colors, plus mandatory alpha; yours are four colors.

And I don't think you really understand how tiles work. They aren't treated the same as sprites by the hardware; you get to fill up as much of the screen as you want with tiles basically for free. The sprite limit of 8 sprites per scanline and 64 sprites total is way too strict for the number of tiles, which is always 960(sort of)

The limits on tiles are four 3 color palettes(with alpha and a choosable background color) and sort of the number of unique tiles. Though theoretically you could have 960 unique tiles on screen, that's not realistic for an actual game(I), and you should probably limit it to 32 or 64 or something like that.

Your game is nice, but tbqh it doesn't look anything like a NES game to me at first glance.

Also, Consumer is best palette.

In UE4, is there any easy way to subdivide a text-components faces? Currently its just one flat face but for the effect i want I need it to be multiple faces(ergo +4 verticies). Any ideas?

>>143977275

The problem is their animations just have all sorts of errors for me. I even use a mixamo-created avatar and the movements fuck up.

>>143977285
I'm using an implied sprite overlay to get the extra color on the sprites (think about the face on Megaman's sprites or the eyes on SMB2), I'll probably get rid of it on the npcs and only leave it for the main character, that would probably help me a lot on the theoric sprite-limit/flickering issues.
If I recall correctly the number of tiles is defined by the cartridge hardware, do i'm not putting to much thought on it for now, but as you said I don't want to go too crazy with thm either. I respected the four palettes on the background too, except for the hud, wich has a different pallete. A lot of NES games did that by using a small trick with scanlines, Felix the Cat is the first example of it that comes to my mind.
I used Bisqwit's palette generator to get the colors, as I have plans to use the color enhacent modes too. I'm not familiar with Consumer's but I'll look on it.

Again I took some liberties, and probably made a lot of mistakes due to the time limit, that's why I can't claim the game is 100% NES accurate, but I have the intention of making it the closests to NES restrictions I can.

>>143974452

I wish there was an open source engine that could handle 3d to a reasonable extent. Unity seems like a shady company and I dont feel comfortable developing with their engine.

>>143978138
Yeah, but that would make your character 8 sprites, 4 per scanline, which is kind of a lot. I think Mega Man's face was only on 8x8 sprite on top. Also, if you're going to do that, you may as well go for 6 colors.

Also, now I noticed how you tried to limit the colors for some tiles, but they don't line up to the tile grid (mixed tiles = miles?) so it's not quite right.

Also, you have a really of unreasonable amount of tiles. Of course you can do some crazy shit with the right setup, so it's pretty hard to decide on an actual limit, but if you look at a simple game like Castlevania I think there is always less than 64 tiles at once on screen, including the hud, which causing some obvious tiling in the bush/trees/thing.

A lot of that is stuff like the grass tuft things, which you repeat, but again, don't align to the tile grid.

Speaking of the HUD, it would be borderline impossible to construct that on the NES. Compare it to the way Castlevania does it.

As for Consumer and other palettes, check out
http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Famicom_Color_Palette
and keep in mind if you actually made this a NES cart/rom, it could be displayed with any of these(or more).

Guys I'm doing it. I'm switching to GM:S from Unity.

I want to make games with scale, and I'm never going to accomplish that with 3D as a 1MA.

Kinda sucks as all my dream game ideas are 3d, but I gotta be realistic.

Am I making a mistake?

>>143981575
>which is kind of a lot
>you have a really of unreasonable amount of tiles.
Yeah, I totally agree on that, that's why I want to rework them a little.
Castlevania 1 only has 128 tiles avaible for the backgrounds (without counting the HUD) and those 128 are usually shared on various screens, for example that area in your screenshot shares its tileset with the whole first level (the castle hall) and that's why they ended repeating so many tiles. With more experience and better hardware they improved that. In Castlevania 3 for example the amount of tiles is larger and so the backgrounds look less repetitive.
I did mess up a lot in the HUD mainly because I reused an old font from another instead of making a new one, But I'll change it too.
Thanks for the link on the Costumer palettes, will make small mockups of the game in all of those to see how it looks like.
Weird I didn't notice the missaligned grid while working on it, will have to check that, maybe the game ended not being scaled properly? I did that on a hurry too.

the other necessary steps you should already know since you claim to have experience with gimp

>>143983493
I've been using Unity for about 6 months now.

To be honest aside from what I've mentioned, my biggest problems are
A) the amount of time needed to model 3D characters and environments for a game that is anything beyond a small scale game

B) I find the interface to be kind of restrictive and clunky. It's not really a comfortable environment to work in honestly.

>What convinced you to keep to that version?
I got a pirated version of it some years ago, and by the time 7 and 8 came out I couldn't find a full version anywhere, so I just kept playing with 6.1 and I got used to it. It works perfectly for the stuff I want to do, and even works on my really outdated laptop so I can dev even on the bathroom.
Also some shit I love like Ultimate3D seem to have some compatibility issues from 8 onwards.
Only downside of sticking with an older version is that I don't have the android/html export option, but I guess most stuff from a GM6 project will work if I import it in studio, so I could always try that.

I had this idea for "The Hanger" who's a tall goon running at you with a noose so he can step on your legs and hang you with it anywhere he pleases.

Then I remembered my necro game has save points in the form of a hanged guy that explodes into a portal/death sigil.

Connecting the dots, I turned the hanger into a haning pole mimic.

What's a good pattern for a bat in a platformer? It should be decent for a first area and killable with a stomp.
I'm thinking
>Move back and forth horizontally very quickly, the laziest fucking option
>Flying slowly in the player's direction when it has line of sight; keeps player moving forwards
>More aggressive, dashing in the player's direction whenever they come close
>Hanging on the ceiling, dropping to the player's height when he passes under, flying horizontally in that direction, and then returning to its hanging spot
The previous two seem interesting, but maybe a bit too dangerous for a simple bat.

Any other ideas?

Original musician here. Yes it was a joke. Sort of. I couldn't get the beat and melody to line up so it sounds off even though I know how it's supposed to sound in my head.

The timing should be the same between the melody and the beat, it looks the same, maybe it's just the instruments?

very good idea

I'll have to make him a bit more wood-pole like cause it's pretty obvious it's not a normal pole. I might also make the regular pole more mimic-like to blur the difference.

>>143987636
yeah sometimes I worry someone I know will look at this and go "jesus fucking christ this guy's gonna shoot up a school one day" and never talk to me again.

not that I talk to a lot of people but still

the all is mind. everything is vibration. there is no matter, just a lower frequency of vibration.
if the all is all, then nothing can destroy the all from the outside, because everything is part of the all. therefore nothing can ever disappear, because it would have to leave the all. the all is everything that will ever be and ever was.

"Imported file conversion failed: Transform "mixamorig:Hips" for human bone "Hips" not found

How the hell do I fix this?

Everything has been imported and downloaded from Mixamo, and I'm basing the avatar off the T pose avatar.

Hey folks, I'm using unity/c# and trying to have a narrator telling the player a small backstory to start things off. I initially went through the process of making GUI boxes and splitting the text, then realized I'd have to manually insert line breaks and that I'd have to redo it for any resolution changes.

So I came up with a function to try to cut the string and generate a new box for a string that would fit it, right now the boxes being generated in the loop just stack, I'm not sure how to delete the previous box upon generating the next.

Any suggestions?

>>143973678
Just write your own multiplayer system. . .

>>143984984
wow first time Ive made progress and no one cares. Ah well I guess y'all probably sick of me by now ;)

>>143973678
You are retarded. That is 20 users if your use unity servers. If you use your own server you can have infinite users.
Do you think unity will pay for servers and give them away for free? retard

>>143987298
I guess I could, but that's still a bit too generic-horizontal-type enemy for me. And maybe too tough for a first level.

>>143989804
You shouldn't use the legacy GUI for anything like that, it's pretty much just there as a debugging aid.

What you're trying to do is very easy with the new UI though, maybe watch through https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/user-interface-ui

suddenly I feel terrified of posting progress

>>143984984
nice progress, but you're a literal whodev. If you've been lurking all this time then you'd know /agdg/ is suspicious and hateful of whodevs. Post progress more often so that anons have time to warm up to you. you're practically a stranger marketing his game here.

your game does look interesting tho

>>143990631

Maybe /agdg/ should collectively start posting with trips? That would improve everyone's yesdev experience. :^)

Where do I go from here if I just want to be able to open and close the hand? I don't care about individual fingers.

>>143990520
Thanks, I'll look through those then

>>143990830
Nah. It's fine as it is: there's no good reason to believe that a specific poster is the dev unless they're posting new progress at the same time.

you needed more loops in the middle then put like 4 bones along the hand

>>143991392
>le 10/10 girl playing vidya and starving for male attention meme

im kinda tired from seeing this

>>143990872
Add another bone where the fingers are (not one per finger, just one).

I want to make a story based game set in a magical crime-ridden city.

Help me think of a simplistic gameplay system to handle battles and fill out the game between story choices. Only rule: it can't be turned based battles. Those are gay.

Well, finally settled on that "generic chase" AI for the bats. Though it's slightly randomized so they can attack in groups without having the same position, I don't know if I should keep it that way.

>tfw your rape button doesn't work
Why is gamemaker so hard bros?

>>143990872
If you don't want to rig weach finger just make 3 bones after the hand bone, one for each articulation of the fingers. It wnt be the best approach but would work well as long as you don't have close ups on the character hands.
You'll have to rig the thumb by itself though.

>>143990830
No, as soon as people become easilly identified the drama starts. If nodevs remain anonymous no one will give them attention and will dissmiss them as any other anon, and yesdevs will get attention when they post actual progress.

Is modding really required for games these days? Especially builders/simulation/tycoon games? It seems every single ones selling point is the modding capability.

But the thing I noticed that the games themselves don't have much to offer then and just rely on modders to add things. That's just my observation.

what do you guys think?

>>143992986
It looks fine, What I saw is what I would expect from videogame bats

Is making a 2d platformer in unity a waste of resources?

Should I do it in monogame or GMS or something

>>143993327
What is it going to be?

>>143993058
It's not rape if it doesn't resist
I think it's working perfectly

>>143990631
I hate to use internet slang, but your post deserves it: lol.

This guy has been posting here for like 3-4 months now. Not everyone comes here to whore for some attention with his waifu characters. This guy is making some slow but solid progress, and comes where to let us know when he feels like it.

>>143993192
I think that you should ideally strive for a complete base game that is also easy to mod, although the former is more important.

Usually, though, if your game is difficult to mod, that is because of poor programming practices (hardcoding vs. data-driving) that will impede your own development of the game, so actually it is important to make your game "moddable".

>>143993592
Shit, that makes sense.

1-3 do stuff for uni
4-9 dev
0 waste your life away playing vidya

>>143994857
DO IT

>>143993379
I think you already know the answer. As for what you should do: for 2D, Unity's big advantage over GM is that you can use C#. But if you're comfortable with using Monogame, you are also using C#. So it's really a question of what you want.
>not as powerful = GM
>wasteful, might have to work around it a bit = Unity
>more difficult = Monogame

>>143995585
actually I think I'm gonna do the uni shit first because the deadline is in like 24 hours and I'll feel awful having it hanging over me even though it'll only take like 2, 3 hours tops

sorry, I might manage to do some dev today anyway

>>143996374
You're not a real man.
Good luck with your Uni stuff

What books and sites do you use for gamemaker I don't know where to start.

>>143996703
Gorge yourself on the tutorials and in software guide and you should be able to do OK with it

>>143997318
oh, just noticed gamemaker site has those, thanks.

>>143996698
that's a bad habit too. source control it

some progress on the editor
so far you can place/erase objects, change object properties, change grid snap, and run the level
next gonna add saving/loading, the rest of the objects to the menu, and ability to change background

let me know if you guys have any editor suggestions

I figure since I already have like 2/3 of levels designed I'm gonna put a lot of work into the editor to make it enjoyable and easy to use

>>143993379
The waste of resources really doesn't matter. What does, and what you'll only find out after wasting hours and hours trying to male things work, is that Unity is horribly unfit to make 2D platformers. You'll have all kinds of collision and precision issues, and the wonky physics will be inconsistent at best.

2D platforming in Unity is a trap. The whole point of using an engine like Unity is to save you time on not having to reinvent the basics, but that's exactly what you'll have to do. You'll be fighting the engine with janky custom code every step of the way.

i bet you've never used tap-to-type-hold-to-ctrl, it's fucking great. also, stagger is a fucking meme, it has no purpose

the only bad thing about this keyboard is that it gives too much freedom, i.e. the thing i'm trying to solve right now

well I'm fucking annoyed

>>143998258
The face, mostly the eyes are too close, and the face is too small at the center of her head. Look at how >>143971849 positioned the eyes and mouth on the face, or google a random anime/cartoon girl you like and slap that face over the texture, then you can paint over it, but you will already have an idea
Also the neck is almost as fat as her torso, that's not good.
