So if you're using the motion planning stuff (mp_grid) in gm, how do you handle other things that move and should block things? mp_linear_step works, but it defeats the purpose of making a grid. Do you plot a path using the mp_grid then reevaluate occasionally or what?

This has to be a common problem. Can someone point me to a resource on the matter? Picture for attention.

that's what the AAA's are doing, that's what they're doing right now, remember they're drawing up design docs and doing prototyping for games that will release in 2020 right now

now imagine what e3 2020 will make your game look like

I've never worked with it. Wouldn't the moving block object just clear its old cell, add its new cell and then you recalculate the path?

>that guy who reinvents the wheel instead of importing a framework with the stuff he needs

Unity:

I can access an array from another script with GameObject.Find and it works, but if i declare a variable for a GameObject containing the script with the array, and then use it to access it, it doesn't work(but works for a non-array int, for example).

Why?

>>145451504
Nah, when you create the grid it blocks all the pertinent cells off. If they move after, the grid doesn't care. It would only recalculate blocker cells if you refreshed the grid, which is expensive.

>>145451524
How else are you gonna achieve that quirky indie game look if your wheels aren't square

How does this look? It's supposed to be grass and ground.

Please destroy it.

>>145452710
post it

>>145452817

It's not bad, but you definitely need to make transition tiles between ground and grass.

>>145452586
You build discipline from the start (or the closest time to now), and then you don't burn out.

Discipline is a knowledge issue, not a willpower issue.

>>145452817
If you absolutely had to have only one repeating tile for each grass and dirt then it's pretty good.

>>145452215

Yeah, the only annoying thing is dealing with GMS, so we want to make an engine to make adv games faster. Except we're too scrubs to attempt at developing one.

>>145452919
I'd say discipline is also an inertial thing. You keep building patterns and habits and they become easier to maintain

halfway through the mc realizes revenge is for betas who let other people have emotional power over them

the other half is him doing something else entirely

>>145453649
By making the act that needs to be avenged so horrible and evil that the player himself wants to take vengeance, rather than role playing as a game character who wants revenge

>>145453649
Write a story about petty revenge.

You play as a dude who was driving to work, and then gets cut off by another driver. All you have is their number plate: PWD 413.

You have to hunt them down and then mildly inconvenience them.

>>145453745
Actual spoiler below.
Dishonored was great thou because being edgy specifically made the world and the few friends you had in the game start to hate you, with Samuel betraying you in the end if you killed for no reason

>>145453649
By not being edgy?
No "I can't wait to kill that fucking faggot" speeches.
No Columbine power fantasies for 13 year olds.
Just a story about revenge m8.

>>145453493
>Got a publisher then fucked off.
People around here flip out if you start to become a normy dev and then try to post so it only makes sense he would.

>>145453649
By making it end with a life lesson where the MC realizes the futility of revenge and then forgives the other guy and then they hug and shed tears.

>>145453902
yeah that's the whole point, the tagline is ironic, because revenge accomplishes literally fucking nothing except make everyone hate you

>>145453902
>Dishonored was great
>biased to passive
>give you all the fun powers and tools

Not to mention the game was just unbearably boring. The only thing I haven't finished yet.
D2 looks alright though, and they actually give you the option to play more pure-stealth without powers and gadgets and shit.

>>145453956
>By making it end with a life lesson where the MC realizes the futility of revenge and then forgives the other guy and then they hug and shed tears.
Ugh.

>>145453649

the character has some distance to the actual act of revenge.

for example, he needs to kill person X for something. but he goes through a phase of not coming to see it with clarity, until another event forces it upon him.

>>145453001
So you guys need a programmer?

>>145454001
It's what was asked for. Having Cartoon Network visuals would help too.

>>145454000

You play as a male and female hero team. You've got a close bond and always watch each other's back.

One day the villain walks up and murders one of you. The rest of the game you play as the other one seeking revenge while suffering.

Oh wait, you wanted non-edgy, nevermind.

Maybe you should learn to write and try and get some help for those anger issues yea?

>>145454060

At least a temporary one who can help with the engine work. But I don't know how much work it would take for a Policenauts kinda thing (point and click, video playback, branching dialogue, large sprites, etc. and streamlined enough to build games like that with relative ease).

We could go back to GMS or Ren'Py, but the former is buggy as fuck and Ren'Py is way too bloated and lacks cross-platform support.

>>145453493

I never really fucked off, I just posted progress until the framework was done, the rest was writing and wasn't going to spoil the game. We ran with the same problem with the devlog, which we constantly neglected throughout development.

I also stayed for stealth anime shitposting.

>>145454382
I'm sorry, do you want me to explicitly state everything next time, because you never learned how opinions read?
If I thought the game was objectively shit, like Ass creed 1, I'd state it. Otherwise by "game is X" means I personally thought that.

>>145454425
>But I don't know how much work it would take for a Policenauts kinda thing (point and click, video playback, branching dialogue, large sprites, etc. and streamlined enough to build games like that with relative ease).

>>145454932
Dishonored was really really flawed and broken, biggest thing being the player heavily being coaxed into being stealth (which i personally preferred, still a bad thing though due to the way they marketed it), that doesn't mean I can't think its a great game. I also loved The Talos principle which was also extremely flawed.

If you don't want to use unity and want to make your own thing, it's going to take time and require a lot of knowledge.
It's not unreasonable if you're experienced though, especially since what you're trying to make isn't complex.

You can try looking into Monogame or maybe Love2D, they're both easy and cross platform.
They're not engines,you can make your own custom engine on top of those.

And i'm gonna be honest, a propietary engine is also very good from a brand standpoint. People remember games made with Infinity and SCUMM with tons of love, so it's also a long-term strategy.

Why do people dislike unity? What would be a better alternative? Unreal?

Reminder: if you're using GM:S and you start having FPS problems, look at deactivating instances that are outside the view area every step.

What's the best theme for dungeons. I really don't want to do generic cave/european stone dungeons anymore.

Egyptian-themed dungeons are usually pretty cool, but they've been done plenty, and have received better attention than I'd be able to give them.
Also, do you prefer lighted dungeons where torches and shit have been magically lit for thousands of years, or pitch-black dungeons where you have to bring your own lighting?

Yes it's a lot, you could reduce that quite a bit and still get the same effect.

Anyone have experience with 7.1 headphones in UE4?

Right now its muting my front right/left channels, whilst still apparently routing audio there which makes audio-localization shit. Essentially If i hold a gun to my ear, its loud af, but if I move it 5 cm forwards its completely silent until i move in so the "front" speaker catches it.

>>145461316
it didnt, it just had 1 landing point per area a dragon could be in

>>145461565
>he fell for the surround headphones meme

This is so stupid anyway. When you have only 2 channels you can use HRTF.

Was last week progress summary published? I think I missed it, does anyone have it?

>>145461226
Thanks anon. I mainly wanted the particle effect to accentuate the brighter parts of the texture, like it does in the first instance. I was worried about the particles showing too much of the main body because let's be honest, the model itself it essentially a ghost-esque blob with a head.

>inb4 but anon why is 7.1 bad
Because it should only be used for speakers, but even that's another argument I don't feel like getting into.

X.X headphones have individual drivers for each channel. Drivers are what makes the sound come out.
So the more drivers you have to squeeze in the cheaper each one is.
While regular headphones have been able to emulate a stupid amount of channels for a long time now while getting quality.

>>145461808
You can get the same effect with better sound quality on stereo headphones since they don't have a bunch of tiny drivers crammed in there. You only have two ears. Listen to this on stereo headphones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUDTlvagjJA

2-4 multiplayer with several gamemodes planned. The objective is to make everyone else fall as in SB, but the game itself is quite different:

each character has 4 abilities with cooldowns plus a basic attack, and the gameplay is mostly projectile based (though melee has been implemented, but it won't be the norm). The idea is to make everyone overpowered enough to allow me to do crazy things with the characters while keeping them all viable.

You can follow it at lvispo.tumblr.com.
Have a robot for your interest.

How do you deal with "ripping off" GUI layout when making, say, an RPG?

If the layout you want to take and use for your game is the best-suited thing you can find, should you use it? Or should you use something worse-off just to remain "original"?

What if the GUI you want to copy has a gimmick in it that people will definitely notice if you use?

>>145462029
Some researchers found a way to do it but only with extremely precise positioning and some crazy filters. Not very practical though.

>>145461979
>Occulus never even mentioned 7.1

Depends if the mechanic is interesting. I've never seen it done before but if it's going to be a pain in the ass like [S]earching in roguelikes that people implement "just because" then no thanks.
Also, ambient lighting (lava, luminescent water/plants/crystals, harmless glowy firefly-like critters) is a great way to light up an underground dungeon.

Whelp if you guys didn't know you could have just told me rather get all pissy about it.

I think 7.1 headphones over 2 makes a big difference and in a blind test it would be like night and day with how good localization would be with each, which seems to be the general consensus everywhere. Sorry if that fact somehow triggered you?..

>>145462569
Surround sound works for speakers, since they actually surround you. It doesn't work for headphones and just makes sound quality worse by stuffing a bunch of drivers in a tiny space.

Cinema is not mixed for headphones. VR games are not mixed for speakers.

>It astounds me how stupid people are, is your ear just a hole in the head, if not, you do realise that sound waves coming from behind/front makes distinguisiable different sounds as they hit the ear differently (and then bounce into the skull/air canal)?

This is why they used complex filters that account for it. As long as the sound hits the inner ear in a way that is indistinguishable from actual 360 degree sound you cannot tell. If you try to play that same audio out of headphones it will sound weird as fuck as a result.

>>145462935
What are you on about? Turtle purchase? I got mine from a bargain bin for something like 20 dollars specificly for devving for VR, agree that the audio quality is shit compared to my normal ~40 dollar stereo headphones, but i can still localize better in the 7.1 ones.

But okay, if i'm that retarded tell me how I should set up the 2 ch headphones "right"? Does it involve some kind of blood sacrifice or magical chant I and the manufacturer was unaware of(since the manual literally says "Plug in and enjoy")?

>>145463198

For the best results you will want to find an HRTF plugin for WWise. It turns out Oculus uses one called RealSpace3D so I would probably look into that one first. Last time I talked to any VR hardware devs they were complaining that audio reflection technology is not really good enough for what VR needs yet, but that was also a few years ago so its possible its improved.

Don't worry I realised that. Really wish AGDG was more helpful and less elitist, really turned to shit recently with the OOP-thing and everyone who has something unique/expensive thinking they know their shit best. Never came here to argue what headphones where best, instead a bunch of people came in defending them buying 130 dollar headphones as being just as good at emulating the same effect i got for 20.

At least they are all nodevs like me.

I need a name for a structure/building and English isn't my native language so I'm not sure how weird it sounds, or if there's a proper name for it.

The building in question is supposed to be placed near a forest in order for the player to gather wood/lumber and herbs/mushrooms.

I'm thinking "Forest Lodge" or "Forest Outpost". Do these make sense in english?

At first I thought this, then I watched one where "Markiplier" played FNAF. It took like five minutes before anything happened on screen, but the whole time he was making faces, making noises, talking, and just generally exuding energy. They're performers, and what they do most people probably couldn't.

>>145468640
It's literally all about the voice AND/OR looks.
Every single lets player falls into this category. You either need to have a hilarious voice, or look hot or both.
The talking part is the easy part, anyone can get good at making retarded rants after making few videos.

WHY

>>145469467

Spacestation crashed with comet that has a space parasite on it, while the player was outside of the space station doing repairments.

You search for repair-sets for the return-capsule while the astronaut-whost-parasite-zombie attacks you in random intervals.

>>145469873
The joke is on him, I'm making my game for soviet ternary computers only so there are not bits.

>>145469924

Should be able to just ++ it AFAIK, no idea about overflow rules though

>>145470070

I will think about that

>>145471183
You can foreach if thats helpful

foreach (Suit suit in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Suit)))

Did a ton of progress today, but it was only sound progress so I won't post it incase I get hated on by the sound-mafia.

It was only shitty walking sounds for these fellas as well as sound for the gun/impact effects, as well as adding sounds to the flying ones

>>145471798
>the sound-mafia
There has yet to be a single agdg soundfriend hou hasn't been a bro

>>145471798
Post it. Sound design is part of game dev. It's so sad to play all those mute games at demo day.

>>145471798
>I didn't make any progress today but I'm going to pretend like I did and then post meme excuses as to why I wont post anything
Okay, thanks for contributing.

The 'posting the same webm 90 times'-mafia is more likely to get you

Music-bros yes, but I'm talking about them fellas attacking that other dude when he asked about 7.1 sound.

>>145472404
I might record a video tomorrow, its really shitty though.

>>145472549
Okay

>>145472552

Nodevs getting mad because someone else made something neat, keep up the good work spoopy, rather you post the same thing 400 times then a salty nodev.

>>145472826
You maybe have replied to the wrong person. I replied to the nodev that claimed he made sound progress but wont post it because of the "sound-mafia" boogieman.

The truth is he's just trying to force the new meme.

>ADR1FT

I hacent played that one but I have seen it before.

From what I can see that game is scifi and a bit cartoony, I want my game to be gritty and the technology(space suit, capsule, space station etc.) to be based on current space technology and nothing futuristic.

As for gameplay the main idea was similar to a selnderman type of game but in space.

They all look great.

I've always thought it would scary if in one of these spooky space sim games, you are constantly see the earth dominating the background, then after you look away at some point in the game and look back, it isn't there. There is just nothing.

Is having brown people with suicide vests as an enemy offensive? Cause I'm gonna do it. They're not muslims, they don't exist in my game universe.

Gibs never fail to satisfy.

>>145474896
it's certainly not a defensive measure

>>145475089
Do the gib meshes deform when they hit the ground? It looks like they go splat a little

>>145475236
Are you fucking kidding me

>>145474000

Does someone have a copyright on those sounds?

>>145474642

I might lend your idea.

>>145474896
>they don't exist in my game universe
Now that's offensive.

>>145475262
The collision bounding boxes are currently smaller than the meshes themselves, so the bottom parts just clip through. I'm too lazy to fix them right now.

I'm doing a Quake-like dungeon crawler. Should I do gibs or ragdolls?

>>145475236

what the hell. that's fucking dumb.

>>145475360
>Does someone have a copyright on those sounds?
If they were recorded by NASA, I believe the default rule is if it was publicly funded the gov't rescinds its copyright on it. However if someone did some cleaning up of the audio then you wouldn't be able to use their version

>>145475372
don't "fix" them, you're getting an illusory animation for free
