want to make a population sim demo/toy where families pass down genes, dominant and recessive traits

what are some good physical traits I should include besides obvious (height, skin/eye/hair color)?

>>145521058
talent

>>145521058
testosterone levels,high iq, good bone density,symmetrical

but we live in an age where those traits don't matter anymore

>>145521058
being born with big bones or small bones. The big boned people can't control that they're bigger, that's just their genes!

Can I get feedback on my game UI? I know it's shitty, but I can't quite put my finger on what needs changing. I've been staring at it too much.

The text floating over the character's heads is placeholder debug, so ignore that. The rock UI thing in the bottom right hand corner is being replaced too, but I haven't decided how to do it yet.

>>145522487
That cursor is awful. It should be some old-ass, wrinkly man hand. I think the cards should snap more. Speed them up.

>>145522609

>>145522487
The game world has dark green colors and stuff. But then the UI has neon pink around cards and other bright colors. Doesn't really feel like it matches.
I'm guessing the game isn't always completely dark green, that's just this environment, right?

>>145522380
>All games with 2 or more.
Ah I put a frowny face in my title in lue of the tragic events that took place in a certain night club of the same name, that probably screwed up the scraper. I'm a pretty competitive guy so if it's possible to fix manually that would be awesome.

>>145522487
What is this? Looks super polished.

>>145522380

I changed the capitalization on my game title, so the scraper counted it as 2 separate games.

I'm going to keep doing it so I won't end up on the high score list.

>>145522487
Dumb font in the game world

>>145522891
"Pulse :(" has been changed to "Pulse" and should count properly in future recaps.

>>145522487
I agree with this guy >>145522771
Deal the cards faster.

>>145522487
-names/health need some background protection with a dropshadow or outline.
-all the screen layer UI looks blurry as fuck, you should have all of that higher res
-pls no custom cursors
-card glow colors dont feel like like they fit
-the bottom right UI probably should be completely redone since i have no idea what it is or is supposed to be doing or conveying
-that double border box when you select an enemy needs to go
-the competing grid space colors for highlights creates shit colors, probably add in a separate graphic like an outline for selection
-snappier animation of the cards, ease in-ease out

>>145522771
Oh yeah I completely blanked on the cursor, that's just the default that comes with the GUI library I'm using. Wrinkly old man hand is a good idea.

I sped up the cards a bit when they're going to rest in your hand, you're right it feels better.

>>145522884
It won't always be dark green, but it will always be dark and muted. People were suggesting making the cards more saturated when I last posted, I could try desaturating them again?

>>145523452
>all the screen layer UI looks blurry as fuck, you should have all of that higher res
I think that's just the recording, it feels crisp enough ingame. Apart from that bits that are being replaced anyway (name/HP text and bottom right UI stone thing).

>card glow colors dont feel like like they fit
I cycled through a lot of different colours while testing, and they all sucked. I don't know how to convey that a card is playable. Maybe a white glow?

>that double border box when you select an enemy needs to go
Most of the info on that needs to be displayed in some form or other. Maybe just relegate it to a right-click info box or something?

>the competing grid space colors for highlights creates shit colors, probably add in a separate graphic like an outline for selection
You're right, it's lazy. I'll make a separate graphic for when they intersect.

>snappier animation of the cards, ease in-ease out
It's using quadric ease-in-ease-out, I think the numbers I'm using for it are just bad.

>>145523661
But can you render uncompressed pixels at 60hertz?

>>145524505
>Maybe a white glow?
white glow is always safe, yellow glows are usually pretty safe too.
best though would be if the cards had different internal colors to match with the glow.

>Maybe just relegate it to a right-click info box or something?
sure but i was referring to the box graphic itself, that double box is stupid looking.

Focus either on art, or coding. Start cloning shit you like and eventually you'll hit something you want to make.

I understand your issues, I have them too. I can code ok but I'm fucking stuck now. I'm thinking of settling down in my new job, get into it for about 6 months, and then get back to gamedev.
Consequently, a question for artists. If a coder is ok with becoming your bitch just to get a feasible game out in a decent timeframe (say, 2-3 years of dev), what would you expect from him? Any engines in particular, or you don't give a shit? 3D or 2D?

I'm looking to get into making some simple fun games, and i've a beginner's knowledge of programming and concepts, and a good handle on art for sprite-based games from plenty of old forum games to get me started on a simple project.

I've been dwelling on making a turn-based strategy game for some time and the main thing stopping me right now is the pretty clear entry barrier. for all the games i've played i have no knowledge on what software is for rendering graphics is most appropriate for a project, how it works, and how to implement it, nor do i know sound output/management (though that's not a concern yet). i've been drawing up outlines for

× What would any of you recommend for tutorials, as far as learning about beginning and managing a project?
× What are some things I absolutely have to know before starting this?
× What are some good resources on what graphics rendering tools to use for a given situation?
× Do you have any exceptional resources for creating, directing, and implementing a simple AI player? this will be useful later.
× What are any other appropriate tools for this, and what are some essential libraries for a project like this (c++/java)?
× Is there any value at all in using something like Gamemaker, or is it simply better to build it from scratch in my own design?
× How much worth does examining an open-source project hold? will the direction it gives me outweigh the influence on my own programming/design/choices? is it undesirable to focus too much on what other people have made, or is it worth it to see a different approach to a similar problem?

Any other resources on-hand would be great. you don't need to write me up a heartfelt essay unless you really want to, just tutorials and the likes will do. thanks gamefriends.

>>145527309
>Gwen (#2) is still in dev

>What are some things I absolutely have to know before starting this?

>>145527859
He is

fug I'd love to get my hands on this engine. I wish Gamemaker could do 3D with 2D sprites. It barely does the 3D on it's own with simple polys, let alone 2.5D. Also, I hate that it compresses sprites and limits room size. Makes everything look blurry/shitty.

>>145527756
>What are some things I absolutely have to know before starting this?

Shoot SMALL for your first game. Aim for something like Pong or Asteroids if you've never made a game before.

>>145528075
Just use unity
Or make your own

>>145527756
> Is there any value at all in using something like Gamemaker, or is it simply better to build it from scratch in my own design?

if you use the drag-and-drop design its easy to make a simple breakout or galaga style of game, which I recommend as to start out with, as for someone new its best to start small.

afterwords game maker is okay if you use its coding language instead

>>145527756
>× What would any of you recommend for tutorials, as far as learning about beginning and managing a project?
A project? Just get shit done and use something simple like Trello to manage your tasks. Also use version control, and by this I mean Git, Perforce, SVN or any tool like that, not fucking dropbox.

>× What are some things I absolutely have to know before starting this?
Coding. Art.
Start small. And I mean REALLY small. Fucking tiny. Pong levels of small.

>× What are some good resources on what graphics rendering tools to use for a given situation?
What? As in, D3D, OpenGL, Vulkan? If you want to do your engine from scratch pick whatever you want. D3D is Windows only, not sure if Vulkan is even finished.

>× Do you have any exceptional resources for creating, directing, and implementing a simple AI player? this will be useful later.
This is too broad. Look up AI for X once you want it, where X is following, pathfinding, or whatever.
>× What are any other appropriate tools for this, and what are some essential libraries for a project like this (c++/java)?
Entirely depends on your engine.

>× Is there any value at all in using something like Gamemaker, or is it simply better to build it from scratch in my own design?
Yes, you save time. You can do it from scratch if you like, but I wouldn't bother.

>× How much worth does examining an open-source project hold? will the direction it gives me outweigh the influence on my own programming/design/choices? is it undesirable to focus too much on what other people have made, or is it worth it to see a different approach to a similar problem?
It's ok, but don't stop at examining. Try to implement things on your own.

This is the fastest way to get into it to see if you actually enjoy gamedev. Trying to learn programming on your own can be extremely difficult, more so if you want to build your own engine from scratch. Personally I tried learning C++ on my own and it was a terrible experience. Everything was so abstract that I only lasted a few tutorials after 'Hello World.' Kept falling asleep, getting distracted, bored, and even though I was following instructions for a couple days, I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere. And some things like 'arrays' are such a mind boggle if you've never learned matrices in math. Like if learning something couldn't be more boring than just sitting there memorizing syntax, it also had to be extremely difficult and hard to understand when it came to the more difficult stuff. God I hated it, but after learning 'scripting' through GameMaker after wanting to get passed just using their drag 'n drop system, made it easier to understand programming concepts. In fact now I want to go back and learn C++ because I can actually comprehend some of the stuff their tutorials are throwing at me now.

Depends on how you learn. I'm an artist, so it was tough at first.

>>145525452

I'll be straight with you anon. This looks like shit. I'm not telling you this to upset you, I'm telling you because you're early enough in your development that you can stop wasting time and effort going down this path. You clearly have no talent for art and should focus on developing the game, and teaming up with an artist to handle the visuals.

>>145528261

Personally, I've always felt the drawn artwork was the best part of the games, and that the pixel art was just a limitation of being a fairly low budget series. I'm glad they're moving into higher quality art now that they can afford to.

If you have set your mind in using GM and not Unity or something more 3D oriented you could try some extensions for GM that improve on GM's 3D. I personally like Ultimate 3D a lot, but keep it mind it still has some limitations compared to other newer engines.

Little experience with programming. good grasp on c++, its composition and its concepts, but have made very little with it. some small programs, some just for automation, no large projects. i want to expand on this, which is why i ask if there's any value at all in working with Gamemaker over building from scratch. obviously i will be forced to learn more and think harder on my problems if i work from scratch, though for a first game i suppose this is both good and bad.
As far as i myself can say my spritework is very good, though it needs more work like expanding my range of hues to provide more lively lighting. my main problem is that i don't practice enough, but also that until now i've been limiting myself to 1/2-3/4 perspective on sprites for forum games. very little variance.

>>145528241
Very useful answers, thank you.
I'm hoping that in so far as making a game goes, a turn-based 2d sprite strategy game will be simpler than pong if you have the knowledge on how to manage all the objects in a scenario, mainly as the focus on logic will be more in interactions on the board than creating a reactive environment (physics, scene, etc). i recall toying around with python many years ago and pong really was that easy to make, though, so my comparison here may fall through.

>>145529013
I believe i have gamemaker from a free event a long time ago. i like to think of myself as an artist despite not making things as often as i should, but i found c++ very interesting, though my logical thinking for problem solving is lacking some. does this mean i excel at neither? maybe. but i have interest in both, and that is good for now. plus, finding working solutions to problems is far more satisfying when you're worse at it.
i will watch the tutorials if i choose to go with gamemaker. thank you.

Kinda, it's more of an economy game. The ships aren't actually attacking the planets, but transferring goods between them.

We call it "node based." Basically imagine KSP, but without terrible coding and actually fucking thinking about managing rigid bodies. Hard part wasn't the builder, we got that shit hammered out within a week. The issue is saving the ship and loading it into the simulation scene, and dealing with that over the network.

We save it into a pile of nonsense code which saves positional data of all the parts, which is then read by a parser in the game itself, then the parts that are touching other weld points are 'welded' at the weld points.

Its in unity, btw.

What's the best way to store levels in c++? All my levels consist of are dimensions, a tile matrix, and an array of integer initializer lists for entities

Right now I've just hacked together a solution with level1.h, level2.h, and so on, and a couple vectors in the level class that contain all the dimensions, all the matrices, and all the entities

I don't want to use external files like txt or xml files to store levels because I'm an asshole and don't want them immediately accessible to the player

Also, I think you should be proud for taking game devving as a hobby. It's not like writing or drawing, where you basically have to be good at one thing. Game devving requires knowledge on many different fields. Ways of story telling, sound and music design, visual representation, coding and nonetheless, game design itself, the art of how to make something fun. Thanks to all this, when you're game devving, you must to get some organization skills as well. You learn time and resource management, and if you work with other, you learn to work in a team or lead a team. Don't give up, man! It might be one of the hardest and least rewarding hobbies in the short run, but after months of dedication to your project seeing those nice comments under your game from people who had some fun is one of the most heartwarming things. Not to mention seeing your idea coming to life is an indescribable joy in itself.

write a binary file (or you could just store it in a char array or something in memory) like
File << X;
File << Y;
File << Entities.Size();
for (const auto& Ent : Entities) {
File << Ent.InitializerInt;
}
load it back in the same way you wrote it out
X/Y would be optional depending on if you need to store every tile vs only storing tiles with entities on them

It's an internet simulation for my game, Root//Kit. It's an infection-style game, but I'm actually adding ~gameplay~ which is something that I've never, ever seen infection games actually have before.

Game Idea

>Games star some loser nerd (middle school or possible early high school?)

>Haves a existential crisis

>Main goal of the game is finding the "true meaning" of life through a bullshit conclusion by the end of the year

>Gameplay be adventure gamey with tons of minigames where you are forced in a weird or mundane but turned over the top situation and tried to make it not cringe as possible

>Exploration would mostly likely be Life is Strange minus time traveling and tons of snarky ass and self deprecating humor

>One of the minigames could be defending your (bad) opinion on a Internet forum and it would be like dangan ronpa where you find contradictions in people counter arguements, search for stuff on the Internet to help gain a edge in debates

>Maybe Depending on how you acted on the forum way before the minigames starts, you may have people help you out or not even run into the problem at all due to your popularity

>Another one could be where someone is super pissed off at you and you have to keep your cool while picking the right things and tone to use at the same time

>It could be like you have to play two games at once where on one side you have to quickly pick your answers while on the other, it like a space shooter and you have to "shoot" down any negative thoughts from coming to your brain and getting more mad or unreasonable

>Another thing that would be cool is if depending on how you play the game, you may get completely different minigames or "story" paths (like making different friends or maybe being an Ace at a certain subject)

>>145536271
>your idea for a game gives no details on the actual game mechanics

You don't start gamedevving with C++.
You definitely don't start gamedevving with making an OpenGL engine in C++.

You unfortunately must follow through some tutorials first, but you should get started as soon as possible on making something really simple on your own. That's where the fun is.

Can't get enough of this song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VVY5mqpE4g

80s have the best instruments, someone needs to bring them back or something. The tunes are so much more interesting than stuff that came after or before. There's just something about those melodies or sounds they're making that it brings this sense of wonder/nostalgia for an era I didn't even grow up in. How the hell do you get nostalgia from something you never experienced before? That's intense.

Although Disco also has great tunes too and sometimes has that same feel depending on the song.

Hey /agdg/ I'm planning on using both Godot and Ren'py in the near future so I decided to get started by learning Python and I also thought it'd be a good idea to learn a programming language for my future dev endeavors.

This is plot-related, not game-related. Really, you just need a genre to describe it, and maybe a short description of the main mechanic. I think just 'platformer' isn't enough. Mario and Super Meatboy are completely different games. Calling games platformers doesn't help with determining the difference between individual games, and the plot doesn't describe the gameplay.

For mario, I'd mention jumping on enemies to defeat them while not running into projectiles and obstacles or falling off the stage.

For GOW, I'd mentionhack n' slash/beatemup and quicktime events with light puzzle solving.

Zelda I'd add melee combat with a variety of gadgets and other weapons while fighting a varied set of monsters and enemies.

I almost have all of shops working. The last thing is getting shops to only buy/identify items of their shop type, which I think is kind of easy but will require some hard-coding. You can only learn the basics of skills in stores - you still need to hunt down a trainer to become an expert or master. If I end up implementing a calendar system, that would eventually trigger stores to restock after some period of time, but for now they don't.

Luckily the store is the only building with a unique UI (for buying items), as it's a huge pain in the ass. For temples, taverns, etc. it's just a list of dialog options on the right, and it's pretty trivial to add new ones now, so new buildings won't be as terrible.

Early bow work. Need to replace the model and change the physics of the arrows when shot to be more straight and sly farther.

Going to work on a lantern for light next.

What's the colored blocks for on the left hand?

Anybody got any interesting alien design?

>>145543315
prototype inventory system, you press the menu button on ether controller to make the blocks appear and you swipe your hand through a block to spawn that item in your hand. You can see me grab arrows from the red block.

In my game, every little variable is a complex living, breathing neural system/network that learns as well as adapts to stress/conflict and structures itself accordingly.

They act as caretakers. I like to jokingly refer to them as the "grandfathers" if you will. Without them, the operation would fall apart.

Behind the scenes in my game, functions, algorithms, arrays, and more, all have personalities. Likes, dislikes, etc. On the surface, my game looks like a regular platformer. But behind the scenes is a world of advanced calculations firing in the blink of an eye.

The original game handled movement like this, but while it's suitable for walking, I've found that it looks ridiculous as a running animation.

How do I write story for my vidya

>>145522487
i think you should google "painkiller cards" and take inspiration from the painkiller game. One of them had a divination card system with UI components / feel that would be perfect to take inspiration from.
alternatively - would bronze, sharp clockwork UI make sense for your game? lots of gear and piping?

anyway - your cards look amazing. should focus on making everything else match their style. cursor and that rock need a look at. Maybe the ground selector when casting cards can be a bloody pentagram for when youre targeting summons, something else when doing spells? when you cast blood splatters and makes a squishy meat sound while a skeleton crawls out of the ground?

if this is a singleplayer game - please tell me it lets me collect skeletons and shit i fight as cards. and bossess as legendary cards.

>>145544805
before your game starts it says "WELCOME TO VIOLENT CITY"

embrace the ridiculousness, crank ur game up to 11

>>145544881

You're not a dick at all. I thought it would be good practice for a "real" game, and that it would push the Plok developers into reviving the series. And I think it worked, but not in the way I wanted; a couple of months after showing my game to the developers, they put out a webcomic.

Iterative design. It will suck at first. And then you go over it 20 times, and then you find it amazingly somehow not only sucks less but is perhaps what one might call "good".

Of course if your English sucks because you thought it was "stupid shit for autistic nerds" perhaps you'll have to brush up on that as well.

people throw around the word gene as if this makes it scientific. Studies in the difference in aptitude show that only ~3% of that difference could be accounted for having the right genes.

no one gives a shit about your title screen they want to click buttons and see shit happen

Get rid of the unnecessary 'Get Any Key' prompt and it will be. Also even if it's short don't forget to let the player hit space to skip it.

i have no idea what im doing but i managed to create a hexgrid and access each hex on it with mouse clicks

>>145546470
Nice,how'd you do it?

What are the steps to solve this?
3^x + 3^(x+1)=108
I mean i know x=3, which i found by guessing the x value and checking if it equals 108, but what is the correct way to calculate it?

>>145546518

artwise the idea is sort of like what if you left the fantasy creatures in the sun too long

the goblins become more goblin-like as they absorb more

Lore explanation is a lot more theme related. adventurers who die in the dungeon are trapped as souls, however by sacrificing their individuality and combining with others, they slowly mass together and merge the goblinballs/goblins, the goblin theme being that of meagerness, a creature doomed to live an existence of constantly throwing itself away for the most meager amount of power.

>>145546502
the hex posistioning is voodoo magic whose math i stole from the internet

the hexes themselves are stored in an ArrayList<Hex> and in onClick i iterate through that and check hex.getPolygon.contains(pos)
is that stupid? iterating over every single hex on every single mouseclick?

now if only i knew how to center the fucking text

What about a school shooting simulator.

Just use wolfram if you never went to school, they even have a "step by step" guide how to solve almost any equation.

>>145546518
3^x + 3^(x+1)=108
Substitute 3^x with y
3^x + 3^(x+1) = 4Y = 108
y = 27
substitute back
3^x = 27
Here we can now know, without using logarithms, that 3^3 = 27.

Now 4chan is for 18+ so please leave.

3^x + 3^(x+1) = 4 * 3^x
Then we substitute 3^x with y so the equation becomes 4y

American education everyone.

i layed out the alpha for a game i really want to make

i can do the modelling
i can do the texturing
i can do the model animations if i just dont fuck up the weight paints
i can do the music
i can do the art
i probably wont get far coding it at all
just an action game but my experience in making games is limited to little game maker games the hardest thing ive made there was a super simple card game and i never finished it.
and i released a dota2 mod with over 2500 subs rated 4 stars but valve kept changing how shit worked and i couldnt keep stepping on my own feet

i came here to vent and maybe get some positive reinforcement but this shit is hard i know its hard for you aswell

lets just hang in there together
