/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

Lets do this here.

It's a roguelike dude. I remember Azure Dreams also had a central town that could develop in some form. The concept is a perfect fit to roguelikes in my opinion.

Also ignore the autists who get angry when someone calls a roguelike that isn't literally Rogue a roguelike.

If it's a roguelike where the city develops naturally, that's fine. I thought he was calling Fortress mode a roguelike.

More progress on this.
Nothing you can actually see but i reworked the collision code and made it into a function, now its a proper Circle-Rectangle collision and the ball speed increases each bounce on the paddle.

Next thing is finally adding some blocks to be destroyed.

how many monitors are optimal for devving?

hey /agdg/, comfygame dev here. (http://nacidev.tumblr.com/ if you don't know my game yet).

i want to make a demo for DD9, but i'm fucking horrible at planning. help me decide what i should add to the game before DD9!

let me know here: http://poal.me/ze8gbq

you can also add your own suggestions and stuff!

The in thing now is to use a VR set.

and until you dev in VR you can't criticize it :^)

>>145719923
It is pretty much.

The extents of town building would be limited to making random shit for villagers. Better term I guess would have been "community building" with predetermined town/farm upgrades to "build" for them.

What movie should I watch while dev'ing?

Having noise in the background really helps me groove. I was thinking the Clue movie but I've seen it like 30 times so looking for something fresh

>>145720775
That could actually kind of be interesting. Say you start on floor 0 and ostensibly your goal is to climb to floor 100 or 1000, but each time you die you are warped X number of floors down in the 'hell' dungeons.

LibGDX must use a 16-bit depth buffer, even setting the near plane to be a good meter in front of the camera still causes crazy z-fighting.

Well now that I have to set up a framebuffer anyway, perhaps I should add bloom and shit.

Woohoo, more progress on basic 3D stuff! Using placeholder assets here and there to speed things up.

I still need to figure out how in the heck to texture this starship. It took me forever just to model this simple little thing, since Im a powernoob at 3D, and texturing it seems like its gonna be difficult too. I also need to look into how games with a perspective like this, such as Star Fox, handle things getting too close to the screen and blocking vision until they pass the camera object.

>>145720961
Exactly

>>145721216
Well we can get rid of the mmo part.

Nice SHOGO 2 tech demo

In the game Receiver, when the player is listening to a cassette tape and then pauses it, there's a sort of audio distortion effect right before the sound stops. Anyone know how they achieved that effect? I'd like to do something similar in my game.

>tfw spent awhile reading about type systems
You shitheads always trick me into learning things

>>145721703

>>145722516
And now you know why dynamic typing is cancer.

>>145720126
im giving you attention

>>145722482
I haven't played it, but perhaps it's a tapestop? Is it just the audio slowing down real quick so it pitches down?

>>145721425

I dont know that much about the technical side of things, how does z fighting even happen?

How to get into the procedural meme?
Can I make procedural music?

>>145722719
Can't find any videos unfortunately, but it basically sounds like that weird sound you get when you fast forward through a cassette tape.

You can now have every status effect in the game at once, but there should never actually be an instance of this happening probably. Heavy and stun are the only status effects that do anything so now I have to make the others do things. Also the status icon cycles between every status effect you have currently, unless you are dead, then it shows you are dead.

>>145721703

even though you said the assets are placeholders I like the style.

Those rectangles (with special appearances by non-edgy shapes) are the result of long hard work ok.

>>145723053
Yeah, I can kinda see what you mean.

>>145722858
You should make status effects display a small icon instead, having to wait for it to cycle so you know which effects are active is pretty bad design

>>145723663
The plan is to have each status effect like how the heavy/stun status effect is, a little sprite follows the character that shows your current status that don't overlap each other and can be seen individually.

>>145724801
I care.

>>145724181
I'd only say bottom middle and maybe top right are cute, but top left is attractive in another way, and I like what you've got going on style-wise. Some of the faces could use more differentiation and I'm not sure what's going on with the angel character, she needs more detail or definition. Also bottom middle's clothing is completely ridiculous unless there's some ties that aren't shown. I mean, I'm not going to get on you about the design being revealing and unrealistic, but I don't think it would work well as actual clothing. It looks like that top/crotch-cover piece would blow around and not cover anything, and it also looks like the first damage it took would rip it apart.

>>145724905

>>145724941
You know, it's possible to make the depth buffer linear, or at least lower the "curve" of the depth "ramp".

>>145725012
I don't know why you'd bother.

>>145721703
This is lookin good.
I don't know how GM works, but if there's a way to set a minimum render distance for the asteroids that would stop them from blocking the view, they would just be cut off if they get too close.

Or maybe you could push the asteroids away from the center of the screen once they're past the ship, this way there's no weird cut offs or disappearing asteroids, they'll just move out of the way.

>>145725169
Ooh, I like the idea of them pushing off to the side. Whenever they're past the player and no longer in a position where they can hit you, they just start to push off. Thanks man, I'll try that.

I'm apathetic as fuck and can barely get myself to do anything, which sucks because when I do finally sit down to do stuff (code, draw, etc..) I love it.

I see a lot of you guys talking about being dependent and habitual, so basically what I'm asking is, how do I become dependent on gamedev or just coding in general? I want my desire to dev/code to be stronger than my desire to not do anything.

>>145727394
Start a new game.

Prototype first, next time.

>>145727394
a) Call Miyamoto-san
b) Post your game idea on nodev-gaggy and let the ideaguys devour it

>>145727456
read Masters of Doom and get inspired

>>145727456
Get rid of all distractions. Set up a work space where you have nothing to do but dev or sit there doing literally nothing.

>>145727456
I've got the same problem anon. It seems like I have the problem less when I'm making a game for a jam though, it might be the "strict" deadline. It forces me to make game.
I haven't tried it with non-jam games, but maybe give yourself a deadline every two weeks or so, tell yourself that you must complete a few certain mechanics or systems before the deadline.

>>145727456
Figure out a good amount of time per week you can spend on gamedev (and if you're neet, don't say all-day-erry-day! because it doesn't work like that, an few hours a day at MOST). Or perhaps stuffing more of it into a day, so I don't know, 4 hours on Wed, 4 hours on Sunday. Something like that, something that works for you. Not too little, not too much, and try to get it as simple and consistent as you can. Specify the time range too. Like "4pm-8pm, Wed and Sun".

Now, after you've done that. You DO NOT break this agreement with yourself. So make very certain that it's a reasonable schedule. DO. NOT. BREAK. THIS. AGREEMENT. Like, it is not even an option, from the time when you decide, to say "nah I don't feel like it." This is the hardest part, because you aren't answering to anyone. There will be no consequences if you skip some Wednesday because you'd rather watch anime. But there will be a consequence, you'll start to eat away at the integrity of that dev time. It's extremely important to take your established devtime seriously.

Even if you get absolutely nothing done in your devtime, that's better than skipping it. Anyhow, that's my suggestion.

>>145728837
Good luck, I think getting over the initial hump of setting up a schedule that only you are accountable for, is the hardest. So remember to just stick with it, even if you make shit progress one time because you'd rather be doing something else, at least you stuck with your habit and that's a win because it's a lot easier to maintain a habit than rely on motivation/inspiration.

You'd get the same effect by slowing down how fast the camera catches up. 3D cameras should always focus on the player and orbit around to change the angle.

>>145729527
>You'd get the same effect by slowing down how fast the camera catches up.
No, you point the camera where he's going, not where he was.

>>145729627
You point the camera at the player always, but let it rubberband behind. It will swing around and make the angle closer towards where the player is going.

I have a strange question. Does Valve just let people make their own games based on their properties as long a they don't charge for them? I've noticed a lot of things on Steam that are fan made but set in the world of Portal or Half Life, like it's an official thing, often even using assets and things from the actual games.

Dick around for a bit, suck at it, quit, get your mind off it, come back, rinse & repeat. Eventually, you'll suck less, which means you'll be able to handle working longer.

The correct and long-term answer is to develop self-discipline. I got self-discipline by my own natural nearly crippling self-shaming that I had whenever I fucked up (which I don't feel that much any more).
The short-term answer is set up things that reinforce your behavior, the less dependent on you the better. If you can have someone nag you, that should work wonders. Setting deadlines and alarms will help. Putting yourself on some kind of rewards program might help (I can't have a snack until I bang out this function, or the like).
If you do short-term solutions long enough, even if you don't develop much self-discipline, you'll be so attached to your routine and the good feelings you get when following it that you'll be drawn to it and miss it if you skip it.
tl;dr Pavlov yourself

It's about the making of Doom, but really, it's about John Romero and John Carmack. Carmack is something of an idol in game dev circles, because he did stuff with real-time 3D rendering that was pretty much unprecedented, especially for games, and because of his influence. Wolfenstein 3D and Doom and Quake had plenty of influence on their own, but the game engine he worked on for those (which became the Quake engine AKA the "id Tech" engine) served directly or indirectly as the basis for basically every popular 3D game engine there is and ever has been.

I did see something about that involving an extension, but I think they still need at least a fragment shader to apply the ramp.

Turns out LibGDX just doesn't specify the depth range correctly by default, probably overriding it with whatever GLES uses.

One quick: Gdx.gl.glDepthRangef(0f, 1f); and it works as I was expecting.

kicks need to be deeper, probably just use a new kit.

Your bell sample at :38 doesn't come in right. That should probably be the time where the lead kicks in and shit gets real instead. Or the direct interlude to it.

Your main melody needs work it's too repetitive without any other layers working with it. Most tracks like that have all its layers bounce off eachother.

Your pitch change interlude needs changed, as well as the actual repeating. I say just fade out at ~2:11 with the monks vocal though.

Thanks for asking! I'm working on a Wolfenstein 3D like shooter in a fantasy setting. The recent Doom hype got me into experimenting with raycasting (even tho Doom didn't use actual raycasting). I hope I'll finish it, however the fact that I can not art is kinda discouraging after some time. At least I can have others art for now. Hope I can learn to do some basic stuff by myself, or I can get to collab with someone after a while.

>>145743602
320*240 or whatever resolution Doom used back then is a fraction of the number of pixels people want to put on their screen today, and the time each pixel takes to render depends on the complexity of the scene which also has increased by an incredible amount. People realized raytracing wasn't going to be the best way forward so they started focusing on rasterization which is what GPUs are now built for.

If you want to do real time ray tracing today you either need low scene complexity if you want to do high res or low res if you want high scene complexity, you can't have both.

I think I unfucked the problem with the happy face getting stuck, and I also made it so she only jumps at set intervals (only if you are playing well, that is) otherwise she would keep jumping unti you missed a note.
Now I have to add a "failed" animation where she trips, to play when you miss a note or break a combo.

Also, I juiced up the UI a bit and added a background that automatically adapts its size/position to that of the track.

That's cool, would like to see more of it in the future. I can't art as well but I have some money to drop on art assets which is okay I suppose but it may not end up looking like the game you imagined. Do you host your game on github? I wouldn't mind taking a look at it.

>>145745906
Yes if an AAA company were to make a 2D game they'd use Game Maker.

Of course not you stupid fuck. It's one of the better tools for beginners, that's all. If you like it then use it, if you don't like it then use something else. It's that simple.

So was your question.

>>145745843
For first I've read "where she strips". I think I was here for too long.

To be honest, based on these videos it's hard to tell how does the game play affects her movement. It seems to me that's she's only happy and only dancing when the player has hit enough dots, and does not actually react individually to every single hit. To properly judge your game I think it's really needs to be played.

I have a fountain I can interact with. It doesn't do anything except go slurp slurp slurp though. I need to add stat modifiers and stuff to it. I can re-use the same class for dungeon features for, say, a 1-time permanent stat upgrade. Just have to give it a different model. And man, that fountain is ugly. Turbosquid let me down on the fountain.

I also refactored all my of static world interactables, so now the chest is one and all the buildings are one, and the fountain too. This gives all subclasses the ability to automatically hook up to the Interact hotkey, gives it the yellow outline when close, and saves/loads the object automatically. So all I have to do is implement the Interact() function and its good to go.

That is one bad HUD.

Let's say you miss a note, then she trips, then half a second later you hit the following note, then she gets up and does a move, then you miss another, then you hit two in a row, then you miss again. I feel it would be a mess where she keeps half getting up and half falling.
I'll have to think it through.

basically, if you arent an enginedev, you have no chance

>>145746324

unity's better than unreal at least, you can search by multiple category tags and price and shit

>>145746578
Just do whatever is necessary to get your game done.

if you think that's bad, wait til you see this

>>145746578
People just hate seeing stock anything.
Unity games are probably the most common.
Just make the game your own and you're okay.

Also I don't know why Notch feels like he has any relevance to speak on vidya.

>>145746578
Lol he thinks Risk of Rain was made in a custom engine.

does that only happen to you on drugs? because that's pretty normal for me

>>145746842
He could have at least listed something more complex than the most basic 2D games there are. Grimrock, Lords of Xulima, etc. But of course, there's Ark, Rust, etc. which are all using modern engines.

>>145746771
Remember when people were saying "no way that's unreal 3" when the first teaser of Guilty Gear Xrd came out?

>>145745915
If you would really like to, that would make me more that happy. I've put up the current state of it in the sub folder of my other game. You can just basically walk around and get attacked at this moment. The enemies will start to follow you if you get in a given distance. If you get out of said distance they will walk to the last spot they saw you. The code is a complete mess to read and will need heavy reviewing. I would like to know, however if you get any occasional freezes, by the way. https://kvrepo.github.io/Toss-the-Dots/project5/ Oh, and you control it with WASD.

It's because you're a baka, Mio.

>>145746512
Yes, I was wondering about the same. How would I do it if I would do a rhythm game? I have only played Guitar Hero for like one hour few years ago, and as I remember they used a mechanic much more similar to your current idea, so I think it'll be fine.

To be honest I think your game really needs to be played to be properly judged. It is impossible to tell for example if the dots are matching to the rhythm of the game, is it accompanied by some kind of sound effect which gives the player the feeling of accomplishment etc.

>>145747267
I wish they'd change their release cycle that centers around arcade releases to something more modern, though. Would make things easier on the western playerbase, but we're of secondary interest to them.

Their balance patches also have an aura of roulette to them, but that's a separate matter.

>>145746578
Literally the opposite of what he said

Does it count as progress if its the first day of your game?

notch doesn't like anime so no

>>145748068
?

>>145748068
I really don't think they are rigging my wc3 matches

is log(sqrt(x)) same as log(x)/2 or 2/log(x) ?

>>145748141
log(x)/2

Theoretically, how would one handle the jump from nodev to 'someone'?

Total noob with a winning idea
You make your game with gimp and gamemaker
It gets greenlit
Suddenly everyone knows your name

where do you go from there?
What if people starting asking for it to be put on PSN or XBL? You're just a nodev with zero knowledge of these things.

Any amateur 3D or sound effects guy want to team up for the Unreal Engine 4 game jam this weekend?

The theme is "Fire in the hole" so I'll be working on a simple spicy food eating game with pooping mechanics.

>>145748382
You hire people to do it for you. You can do that since you made so much money off of your first game.

On the other hand, there is a reason why Undertale is not for Xbone, PS4 or WiiU

>>145748382

kekpot

Keep the thoughts of money out of your head when you're at nodev stage.
