Got the enemies to shoot back at the player.
No collision detection yet.

Currently working on an asteroid model and then look at allowing the enemies to take more than one hit.

I do enjoy the early stages of game devving, you seem to accomplish so much in so little amount of time.

>>144445849
If you have suggestions for a free 2D game engine I'm listening.

so as you can see it now displays in minutes:seconds and not just seconds, it also takes up less lines of code than the original and more importantly ends when it's supposed to (not seen, in the alpha, it would go to -1 seconds before ending, not just 0)

>>144446103
gradient from red to orange (red near character, orange on the other side) assuming it's using a trail, if you menat like, an icon colour, I'd say some kind of electric red or orange.

Can anyone think of any reason this script wouldnt be triggering

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (other == player)
{
nav.enabled = true;
inRange = true;
}

nav is the navmesh agent, player is the player's capsule collider.

>>144446775
no big deal, I think having it in the OP and maybe posting around ~300, 400 posts would be fine. Thanks again for doing this!

ok will do, i want to make sure that anyone coming in has a chance to notice it without being pushy or annoying and spamming it over and over again.

Try doing a debug log first to see if it's actually detecting the other collider.

Also, I know it's silly to ask for any kind of planning advice in these threads, but does anybody have a clear rundown/workflow for game design stages?

both monogame and godot have nice finished game
what i keep hearing about godot is that the documentation is a fucking mess

>>144448359
I think ships should make bigger/ better explosions so it looks better and is easier to notice amongst all the gunfire.
Looks really good though.

>>144448919
This. Implementing physical impact, ripping and fracture systems will also allow for bullets to break when impacting armor as well as internal bruising for living creature organs, different consequences for punching skin or other materials

Spent have the day trying to figure out why my gml switch didn't work for my grid-based menu and just found out it was because I didn't at 'break;' to the end of each case. Even hardcoded/refactored everything and almost went with all those extra lines of code until I thought, well, what if I just added 'break' at the end like how the gml manual formats their switch, since I've tried everything else anyway. Well, what do you know, it worked. I never needed it before, that's why I took it for granted.

Now I'm that much closer to my goal of creating true artificial intelligence in my games.

>>144448359
Downloading, actually looks like a decent game

>>144449107
So I played through the first tutorial, will be playing more in a bit, but have something to go do.

This kind of thing is right up my alley actually. Docking the ship for fuel was engaging, took a bit of time and a bit of skill, and all the components of ship control made sense exactly like how I felt they should/would. I thought it was really fun. It's pace, I initially thought was way too slow, but I could see how with a group of people playing (if multiplayer ever gets introduced), something like this would be great

Will play more later and comment again.

>>144449792

Could work for something stealthy imo. The delayed percussion is very crimey.

I'd slap a low pass filter on some of the stabs though, to bring the profile of the track down a little to capitalise on that vibe.

Multiplayer is going to be important for this game, but I'm not sure how to get it to work.

>>144450272
Also, not sure if this is intentional, but if you go to click the UI buttons for engines or strafing or whatever, you still shoot in the directions that your weapons are positioned. I know you probably play the game all with hotkeys, but it's still there

>>144450168

I did but I'm not too fond of working on someone else's idea.

>>144450272
Played the demo for about 20 minutes and I have a little bit of feedback for you:

- The weapons are well balanced
- Looks great
- Runs very well
- The ships don't handle all that well, they don't turn as quickly as you would expect
- The clouds are a little bit opaque, can barely see your own ship, at least on my monitor.

>The clouds are a little bit opaque, can barely see your own ship, at least on my monitor.
They're supposed to be so that you can hide in them. Radars/guided weapons also can't lock on when in the clouds.

>>144452930
you don't need to raycast to check distance, just get the vector length of the difference of their positions

>>144453108
Yeah, I get that. However, if I am controlling the ship surely I should be able to see it? I mean, make it clear where you are and make it difficult for others to see you.

why do you care? use what engine you want and stop worrying about what everyone else is doing

>>144453876
/agdg/ jams are very casual. All you have to do is make a game with the theme. Post some progress while you're making it. Then submit it to the jam page before the deadline. The jam page will be on itch.io so make sure you have an account on there. The jam "starts" July 14th, but you can start making the game right now if you want to, no one really cares if you start early, the most important thing is just like making game.

NOT SPACE

>>144456641

I don't know why you have to be a cunt about it tho, I just want to make my own game. You're just reducing the amount of submissions by making collab forced.

>>144456593
Actually, I was thinking of running another jam too. The idea is that people submit one piece of art and a piece of music, and then a random number chooses one of these. The people in the jam have to base their game off of an interpretation of piece of music or art chosen.

what engine?

I think the email matching will work for this jam but I've been trying to come up with something simple that doesn't require user accounts for webanon to do.

Brainstorming: So, I want to collab, I mark 1-5 on a couple radio buttons like art, music, 3D, 2D, and a short text-only description/idea, it generates a word for me to use as a password trip. Someone sees the ad, says "I'm in", it gives them that same word. Now we share a temporary trip that has this idea in common, and we go to https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/ and make a room with that word to talk about collabing.

>>144459328
i dont see the problem with collabs. you dont have to go lone wolf on everything. if you work with someone who has a different skill set you can make a better game, more efficiently

>>144459914

Some of us are just too autistic or insecure to work with another person on a creative project.

In my case I am pretty much brand new to making games. I can make stuff work at my own pace just about, but partnering with me for anyone else is just going to be a waste of their time as much as it sucks to admit it.

>>144459716
every space themed game in existence is split into 4-5 genres

>>144459914
That's great and all but I enjoy working alone. I also enjoy working on a game with a theme from a jam. I also like submitting to and participating in the community.

So I'm just not included because I don't want to collab? I'm not allowed to be a part of the community because I like to work by myself?

>>144454736

The weird thing is that this *two week* jam turns into a discussion about the eternal merits or shortcomings of 1MA vs working together.

>>144460214

there are others who entered that are less experienced as well. i will try to put you in a group that is tailored to your individual needs so this doesn't happen but you will learn a lot from working with others on a game and it will be fun. id encourage you to sign up for it. others have said they dont mind working with someone new and are fine with just having a chill jam and not going too ham.

Every mecha game is split into 4-5 genres
Every boat game is split into 4-5 genres
Every waifu game is split into 4-5 genres
Every trap game is split into 4-5 genres
Every zelda game is split into 4-5 genres

So why can't we have just space?

>>144460181
thats why collabs are not mandatory. of course you are free to do the space theme jam but this time there is the shiny new option of being able to collab on it which alot of people wanted to do. its not like we have this option everytime but i dont want to make it seem like this is only for people who collab. the jam is open for you to.

>>144460596
Then people need to stop acting like this is a collab only jam with a secondary theme of space.
We've always had the option to collab in the past, it's just that it's a little bit harder to do on an anonymous forum.

Here's a bright fucking idea, how about we do a revote? To put the whining to sleep

File: random_treasure.webm (2MB, 1307x643px) Image search: [Google]

2MB, 1307x643px

I wrote a class to generate items randomly. Right now, each type of item has an equal chance of being selected, and once a type is chosen, it randomly selects an item of that type. When you request an item, you have to give it a tier, so it only chooses from items that match the requested tier (right now I have 5 tiers). Gold exists in every tier, but the values at each tier are different. Basic spellbooks are tier 1/2, expert are 2-4, and master spellbooks are 4/5.

I still have to set up the system where you can specify how many items/what tier each chest is. Also something that says what the drop rate for enemies are and what tier they are too.

>>144460916
revote what? The theme is space. That's it, that's the theme that won.

"collab" is not a theme. You're allowed to collab on a space game, or you can work alone.

>>144460836
>people need to stop acting like this is a collab only jam
I think this is mostly dramafags trying to rile people up. Obviously nobody gives a fuck if you actually collab, and even if it was mandatory just put down some made-up names.

It's space, with a heavy encouragement to collab and someone willing to put teams together.

>>144460916
>Another revote!!! LEWDJAM EPIKEK
Collab and space were tied every single poll, sorry. Without the structure to actually make collab official, we should do space jam with optional but encouraged collabing.

There were multiple polls about it, and when I stopped watching they were both tied in them.

But besides, the collab part isn't official, it's kind of a trial run on space jam. Those who want to, can make it happen. But I think that reluctant anons should dive in and just give it a shot, especially for a short casual jam, and being paired with other chill-tier spacejammers.

You should just use a library like Lovebird.

Yeah sure I can do that. Though I should make the tutorials I mentioned before that. I'll consider making tutorials again soon.

I honestly cant comprehend how you guys prefer unreal engine over cryengine when cryengine gives you free effects and assets. At least enough to make a game. Unreal engine wont even let you browse free assets.

so about a week ago i finished my towers of hanoi game using c++ and windows console. i set my next goal to give it a graphical look using SFML.

i didn't edit my base code at all. i just used to the data it provided and gave it a different output. the SFML code is a mess and filled with shortcuts to just make it work, and while working on this second half of the project, i learned a lot of better ways I could have written the underlying structure, but at least it works!

i think my next goal is im gonna go back and rewrite the original because while writing this, i learned a lot about data structures and how data should be passed around between functions and classes

>Anons acting like a jam's theme is a matter of life and death.

Don't worry about the new jam guys. Every single jam in /agdg/ has been shat on before it happened, but then it happened anyway. Plenty of people complained about Zelda jam, waifu jam, boat/mecha jam, but anons still participated. Just work solo or collab with the space theme and go. You probably don't even need to make it space themed. Who's going to stop you from making a traffic jam game? No one but you. Just do it. Hell, start your own jam and compete with collab space jam to see who makes the most/best/fastest games in each jam. It's just an event to help get your creative juices flowing.

No one is going to get fired or sued. That's what LLCs are for. Just make sure you've made a backup LLC to cover your back in case one of your team members or opponents turns around and tries to swindle you or just butt heads in general with you. Wouldn't hurt, we are working anonymously after all. Game devs/gamers tend to be very quick to start all sorts of drama, not just here, it's industry-wide. I'm sure you've all seen.

followed a tutorial on drawing trees, my colours seem a bit off

Hey guys, newdev here (never programmed in my life, just started 2 months ago) who decided the best way to learn would be to go straight into making an SRPG as it's fairly state-based and shouldn't give me too much guff.

So far, I have character stats stored in arrays, a procedural generated map/grid, creation code which puts your units down in a formation, menu's that use draw statements with text, and scripts which create highlights for available tiles for moving and attacking.

I built a semi state-engine for the game state (so and so's turn, damage was dealt, etc) menu states (selecting move as an option, attack, etc) and the states that the pointer can be in, but am having a REALLY hard time tying together the three of them.

I'm sure this is part of learning coding, but I have no idea what it would even look like for me to organize these three things in my head and how they all relate to each other. Is there a sort of standard way? Do you guys use like a chalkboard or some program or what?

All the scripts I have work, if you run them solo, its getting them to work together that is the pain in the ass...

Little mechanic I thought would be neat. Those rectangles are supposed to represent the cores of the base's supercomputer (haven't bothered to rig up art), which you can assign to do helpful things, like the imaginatively named "Analyze Weakpoint". Sped up ten times normal speed, it shows it building up heat, going into the overheat zone, and then cooling down, during which it's inoperable.

They should probably all be objects of a character class. Assuming you're using OOP. If you're not, learn it, all other paradigms are memes.

>a procedural generated map/grid
How? I didn't into proc gen until my second year of programming. It's fairly complicated.

>menu's that use draw statements with text
Don't fall in the trap of doing a ton of UI work on your first game. It won't teach you anything and it will waste a ton of time.


Okay now I'm seeing your second post.

>>144465778
This looks a lot more complicated than I expected. You look like you know what you're doing, but yeah, this genre is not ideal for learning the ropes. But since you have so much done, just push through it. State machines are annoying and no fun to program, but I wouldn't call them difficult. Just think it through.

>>144466063
>OOP is the only paradigm
Not to start that meme again, but this is objectively wrong and a foolish perspective.

Thank you all for the kind words and advice. I figured it was a thing of familiarity and time and skill to organize your thoughts. I was thinking maybe there was some program you can use to create branching trees of logic and show how they are all connected, possibly.

I think I'll just buy a large whiteboard and get started on Monday with breaking down exactly how each of them are linked and what commands pull into what state.

Mostly I'm just running into problems where a player button press jumps through all the steps, which is why for now I tied changing game states to manual input to call the scripts.

he should at least have a 3rd frame in that animation phase instead of just having a two frame lazy smear attempt at motion lines. i see too many devs here make that mistake of thinking added a smear is an easy way out of making more frames. all you're doing is limiting your abilities as an animator.

If you want it even less tedious and all you have are simple attack animations - then make it about stances or positioning and just let all the units move and attack by themselves.

I'm making a VR-shooting game where you travel to different locations by gathering books that you pray to whereupon you are transported there to gather more books as well as upgrades for your gear. Before every level you are in a room where you can kit yourself out for the next mission etc.

I want the game to have a heavy religious settings with most enemies being somehow related to religion, pictured are an enemy refereed to as "Cherubs".

But thats all i've got, as much as it shames me:

I NEED an idea guy to help with story and/or more interesting mechanics. If interested in giving your ideas away for free please send them to [email protected]

Plz help

>>144469658
How many people do you have who've pretty much just made pong and snake?

Because that's me. Not sure if I should enter.

>>144470498
How much do you pay per idea

>>144470498
Are you candledev? Even if you are, I've seen so much damn VR lately. Wish I could into VR; Sony is about to make it mainstream.

Anyways I guess I could help if all you really need is an ideaguy. I thought the whole point of making a game was to materialize your idea, though. Your story sounds fine so far, keep it going.

If you mean the guy who made this then yeah.
Thats the first time someone has given me a dev nickname almost got chills

>>144470883
I repost the same 10 images again and again because capturing footage of VR is fucking fiddly. Will soon update don't worry man i know i'm the scum of the earth.

>>144470503
a few people have little experience and one or two have just have pong or snake as the majority of their work. this jam is for you, dont worry. there are lots of anons who are fine with working with new devs.

The only people who care this deeply about smears being lazy are professional 2D animation lovers. Not even professional animators draw every single tween, it would be an insane waste of time and money.

I'm going to take a smoother animation with a couple of smears than the same animation without them. No one is going to animate at 60 or 120 fps on their own unless they're insane and they have tons of time and money to throw down the drain. This is /agdg/ amateur game development general, not Studio Ghibli general. Skullgirls has the most drawn frames of animation per character of any video game ever created in the history of video games and even then they use some shortcuts and smears. wtf are you expecting from a bunch of amateurs? It's just needless elitism that doesn't help anyone, especially here. Yes I can see smears in animation too but why would I let something like that bother me? I'm not the one who took the time to draw that, I'm just sitting here on my ass commenting about it.

>i see too many devs here make that mistake of thinking added a smear is an easy way out of making more frames. all you're doing is limiting your abilities as an animator.
wtf is this, this is a technique that professional animators teach students who go on to work at Disney and anime companies. What exactly qualifies you as being able to judge someone's abilities as an animator? Are you an industry professional or are you one of those self-proclaimed talented animators who has only done maybe a couple minutes worth of animation in his/her entire life?

Sure, it would be nice if EVERYONE animated all the movement with every possible tween, but there's time constraints, budget, manpower. In games, there's a limited set of frames you can work with. But why not go a step further? How about anyone who doesn't clean their own lineart and draw their own tweens, and made at least 2 hours of animation themselves for their own project cannot be considered not lazy.

Got so excited I forgot to reply properly:
It is largely, but my vision of the game only extends this far, i have an idea of the overall feel and idea of the game, but no proper "image" of the details to tie the whole thing together.

>>144469961
did not receive anything new. can you re-send, sorry
>>144470340
people said that it was too soon after the waifu jam and they wanted to wait until after Demo day was done.
>>144470414
thats fine lol if you capable of any capacity of game making, you are welcome to join. if you are completely new, you can learn for July 14th and email me closer to the time
>>144470049

beautiful
its a bit dark towards the start tho even if that was intended

>>144471508
It's cute that you're excited about your new dev name. My friend once had the nickname "candledick" because he sent a nude with a candle covering his cock.

Anyways, how did you into VR? What headset are you using or whatever? It looks like it has hand tracking, but what do I know.

>>144471762
Yeah i see what you mean

Yeah using a HTC vive, literally my third attempt at a 3d "game" and the first one was just an unfinished walking simulator, second one an unfinished racer. UE4 makes this easy if you know programming before coming in.

>>144471235
Wow, took the bait, got triggered, wrote all of that, and I don't even get a damn (You)? Come on asshole, hurry up and reply. I'm waiting and I haven't got all day, need to get back to my game.

Agreed, the core team at the studio I work for uses Lua all over the place and I just lol at these niggas.

Portal mechanics like this have been around for years but I still think they're magic. I can see it, but I still can't believe them. There's gotta be some kind of trick.

>>144473824

>>144474045

>>144473661

R-right?

>>144473824

space is the theme, collab is the format

>>144474009
this is something i made after watching skateboarding videos on youtube for no good reason. helped me practice animations i guess, and it was fun

>>144474119
a game that tries to subtly gather intel about the players personal information in order to sell it to private companies? free to play with micro transactions of course

>>144472278
I remember a friend doing something like this but he dind't give the portal a viewfinder
so you'd just randomly walk into it. he used it for maze stuff.

>>144473953
It's not good, but it could be a lot worse.

Looks like a little gas cloud more than a bush.

>>144474392
kek it does
im gonna practice a lot to get better

Last mechanic i worked on today. Manhack spawning projectile that hunt down nearest enemy player.
Spritework is obviously temp, but could this be a fun mechanic or do you think it's just going to be cancerous?
