You've just named your problem. You are not setting your goals according to your resources. If you are not good at basketball, don't play it, but there are still plenty of sports out there that you can do.

On a side note: most unhappiness comes from standards and dreams which are not rooted in reality.

Post some progress. I'm working on my UI and setting up a timer. Each level will have a "Star completion" time which is set per level. The timer will also transition from White to Yellow To Orange To Red based on how badly you do against your previous best scores.

My current idea is
>0 seconds worse -> yellow
>90 seconds worse -> orange
>180 seconds worse -> red

you should scale the timer values based on the star completion time, unless all levels take the same time to complete.

I was thinking that, but I have to do 2 things
1) Display when the user loses to their best time
2) Display when the user loses to the star time

My current way is to change the color of the timer based off the user's best time, and to have a star icon next to the timer that stays as long as you are better than the star time, but fades once you get past it.

>>144291210
>why is this game so popular/known?

My guess is because It was given to a lot of youtubers for review, and It wasn't the kind of youtubers that usually play eastern-rpg-ish turn-based animu shit.

This being a type of game they never touch with the bonuses of a mythical viking based setting and hand-drawn-looking art somehow made it appear greater than the sum of its parts, thus getting it high praise from said reviewers.

All the pieces elevate one another to a higher level, one would argue, but the matter of fact is that a bunch of sheeople follow these review and praises and play it, though i doubt 90% of the game's playerbase actually finished it.

Personally I found everything lacking. The combat options and unit abilities, the story, the writing, the artstyle, hell, even the UI icons and design look boring and uninspired. An artist will tell you that even the pretty backdrop maps have issues with ligtning and so on. I can spot at least 5 shadows out of place in that screenshot alone and it drives me nuts.

Its one of the few western fantasy based tactical RPGs. Thats probably the main reason.

tldr; devs got lucky.

You know, one thing I've noticed is that most people usually tells you to use simple graphics, pixel limbs or flat low poly if you're not an artist. One time I made a shitty low poly house but somehow got tons of "it's ok make the game m8" replies.

But places like agdg or reddit are the only ones where people actively try to make programmers pay or hire an artist. Why is that?

it was only a few months ago that yandere was a nodev shitposter on /agdg/ just like us.

>>144293942
But I though that was crossdressing?

In c# is there something like interface, where you actually don't have to have all of the functions in it implemented?

like with interface if you define Poop() and Pee() you have to have both of them in anything that implements them..

I need something that works like that but i only can for example implement Poop()
and yes i know i can do it by implementing them and leaving the unused ones empty like Pee(){;} but that is retarded.

My brain was feeling exhaused today so I took it easy. I was gonna save this feature for later, but it was simple so I did it now. There's 3 quicksave slots and 3 autosave slots. It writes to the oldest one and loads the newest one.

>>144293689
>Hah cool. So what's the death counter for? Does it have a mechanic or is it just there for shames?
I plan on listing out causes of death for each level somewhere eventually.
I want to display "Tips" that use the total death from each source to harass the player a bit. If you die 15 times to sawblades, then it may tell you something like "Sawblades do damage to the player you touch them, so don't touch them." and ramp up on the sarcasm a bit as it goes.

>>144294556
>Gave up after the Dat Boi level though. The hazards were too unpredictable and memorizing what exact chainsaw does what was a pain in the ass.
>Did you make the hitboxes more forgiving yet?
Not yet, but I plan to a bit. I want a play to be able to stop between 2 enemies with 1 square of space and not get instagibbed 90% of the time

My main plan is to revamp the levels a lot. I originally wanted the game to have more puzzles than be "insta-death" game.
I still want that danger and sudden death to be part of it because it hooks people, but I don't want levels in the beginning to lock you down.
I also plan on adding a "Skip level" feature if you die more than 10 times on a level.

I admit the demo levels I showed was waaaay to hard. But they were mostly to demonstrate the different things I could do with the stuff I've created so far.
Also, hazards that rotate around a circle, while nice to look at, are extremely hard to deal with. I gotta focus more on linearly moving things.

>>144294021
Because a lot of "programmers" here use their lack of artistic talent as an excuse to not dev anything.
If you can into art that's great, make game and make art.
If you can't into art that's great, make game with shitty art.
If you can't into art and don't make game bacuase of that, then get someone to do the art so you can make game.

So the premise is, you have a time period to choose what moves you make, as the planets can only fight when their orbits let them get close enough.

I started this the other day, spent a couple hours of down time at work on it today - graphics were unfortunately of lesser importance then code...
It's in SDL by the way.

>>144296057
sprites, but there's probably a point where after n revisions, 3d modeling becomes faster, since you only have to update the model once instead of every single sprite

Amusingly enough indies have a bad reputation not because of shit art but shit and buggy gameplay.

When you look at steam early access games for example you see tons of games with nice to excellent graphics that are filled with boring mechanics, bugs and terrible crashes.
I'm starting to wonder if the bad indie reputation is here not because of coders but artists or idea guys with stock assets constantly shipping terrible games.

>>144296196

No you don't.

>>144296187
Yeah but you're (hopefully) getting better at debugging in the process.

Protip: Bugs are often caused by shit that's you're absolutely 100% sure can't be wrong. While still using a blame chain like: you->library->operating system->hardware->physics

thanks!!

if anyone's interested, the way the airdash works is that, if you hit spacebar in the air, you'll do a little hop that will bounce you upwards a tiny bit, and make you go really fast horizontally.

that part is obvious, but the way i've balanced it is that the spikes on either side of the screen are slow to adapt to your speed. so the more you airdash, the farther back you'll be sent once you land because at that point the spikes are moving a bit faster than you are. you can see toward the end when i finish the second level


also im thinking about making the goal at the end of each level a carrot :3

>>144297145
You are. Now shut up and go educate yourself.
http://www.japanpowered.com/otaku-culture/what-waifu-means

How can I make melee attacks more intuitive in 3d? Right now I just put a collider over the weapon but it seems to make it very difficult to actually hit something.

Id like to have it leave a trail rather than just be a normal swing, sort of like you might expect in bayonetta or something, but I have no clue how to achieve this.

>>144297509

The game finally has a level progression so I need to start making "content" and balancing stuff.

Also I have to make the UI better, maybe have sliding panel or some other stuff that makes it not be a huge cluttery mess.

You can teach the basics without resorting to obnoxious hints or tutorial videos.
Ideally, all you need is a level with a small room that says "Press ←↑↓→ to move" and "Press Space to jump" and a small obstacle to jump over or whatever. Anyone who plays games often won't take more than a second to do that.
Then you can teach all the mechanics specific to your game, and bam, done.

Once both players have ended their turn, the units move and fight according to the players' instructions. So if both players ordered a unit to reach the same spot, they will meet there and battle.

Sorry it came out all alone. Didn't meant to be insulting anybody...

I'm gonna get back to work. Sorry

Why aren't there more comedy games?

Every other medium has 'comedy' as a major genre, except games.

There's parody games, and games that are so cartoony and zany that they may as well be comedy.

Sounds about right.

You seem to be dreaming pretty big but not have much idea of how to implement your ideas. This will be a problem.

You seem to want a lot of low-level control so grab a framework and get coding. I recommend SFML.

Are my sword arcs okay? I'm kinda worried there arent enough rays being cast. I'm also worried there are too many.

Please help.

Why not use a trigger with continuous detection?
A small capsule collider with 0.1 radius should do the trick

>>144307221
Writing comedy is hard.

Just look at the big bang theory

>>144307369
Way too few. There's huge gaps enemies could be standing in. More importantly it's tied to the animation so faster movement=fewer raycasts in an area.

What's wrong with hitboxes?

>>144307492

I was advised against it because apparently the hits sometimes don't register due to lag on the machine playing the game. This is in fixedupdate so I suppose it's independent of framerate? I'm still new to this honestly.

>>144307520

I previously had a trigger collider method and was trying this to see if it was more responsive really, I can definitely see your criticism though.

Guess It's back to the colliders.

>>144307591
the continuous dynamic detection should fix missed hit's since it checks the positions between current and the last frame as well. with discrete detection it happens though.

>>144306354
Actually writing a game from scratch seems hellish but I could be wrong
>>144306409
I heard this from several people and glossing over C# code seemed to confirm this, are there any key differences I should be aware of assuming close to zero hands-on experience with C#?

>>144307796

Sorry for the super stupid question, but how do I make the detection continuous?

"“One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people—I categorize them as life’s losers—who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I’m concerned, if they had any real ability they wouldn’t be fighting me, they’d be doing something constructive themselves.”

because comedy needs lots of writing
and games with lots of writing are adventure games
and nobody likes adventure games

The point of using raycasts is to fire them parallel to the direction of the swing so they hit stuff between frames, what you have at the moment is just using a raycast instead of a collider which will have the exact same issue of skipping through geometry.

But like the anons say, continuous collision can fix it.

a few syntax differences that are annoying at the start, delegates are really cool, linq as well.

Not sure about the performance though, you might be better off writing some code that does intermediate raycasts so it's nice and even.

>>144308127

Thanks, this makes a lot of sense.

I already have a collider script set up so I can just fix that to be continuous and maybe approach the raycast from a different direction (pun intended) later on

Thanks for the help guys.

>not just posting whatever the fuck comes up whenever
Do you actually have certain times planned out, and do some times get more exposure than others?
I always get generally the same crowd liking things except when I post something a bit different and get random people who I haven't seen before

is this unreal engine?

No data if some tags or time gets more exposure, will check after a while.

Try harder.

Where can I steal non-shit GUI elements for my game ?

for people using unity, how long did it take you to get past the "new user" phase and know how to use most things to the point where you did not need to reference the internet that much?

following tutorials now and such, but there is so much on the screen it is hard to look at.

>>144308570

It wasn't a very good one.

Can I make a comedy game only using bad puns?

I'm quite good at bad puns

Is there any way to treat a series of variables like both an enum and an array?

I want to be able to easily refer to the various things within a longish list, which makes it ideal for it to be an enum, but I also want to be able to refer to the thing's position on the list so that I can add a point to whichever variable happens to be selected by the player.

So in GML, if I were to want my character to take a Castlevania-style knockback on taking damage, can I get some advice on how to go about that?

Thanks goons
