How crazy would it be to start a 3d game with unity alone as my first game? What's the difficulty in making 3d models?

>>145838571

>>145838634
that entirely depends on the scope of the game

regardless it will look terrible because you will have no idea how to do art

I love how choppy it looks, it reminds me of 90s shareware and if the shadow wasn't obviously a proper shadow and was instead just a circular-style shadow you could probably sell me that the bear was pre-rendered.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uN3i8s9TL4

Decided the modelling style of my game. Haven't decided how I am going to texture it.

I don't know if I should sink 3-4 hours a day into PBR and substance painter, or 3-4 hours a day into handpainiting textures in 3d-coat.

remember blockhead?

He slapped ads on it, put it on the internet, and dropped further dev.

He now chills in Steamchat doing nothing!

>>145840241

>>145840070
Thanks! He also has a roll move that works like DKC where you can cancel it into a jump even if you roll of a ledge. I'll show it off in a future webm.

Good dammit how can I learn faster I know exactly what I want to make

>>145840859
There are better options now.

Of course, if you're just shitting out a quick game for general gamedev practice, then there's no need to learn a new tool just yet.

>>145841074
I had limited internet access but people have been saying that for years, I guess it's becoming true now something something self-fulfilling prophecy..

Do we have a solid alternative to flash yet? I wonder if facebook games still use flash, I know that google blocked the unity plugin too.

>>145841381
Yes, with a combo system and z-targeting

>>145841492
Making smaller games that are similar to your main game would be pretty quick.

Whenever you get stuck, consult Google/Stack Overflow

Failing that, ask somebody.

>>145841498
>There are better options now.
Tools are tools I'm kinda attached to flash because of the newgrounds era but I'm willing to learn new stuff, can you tell me more?

>>145841538
flash didn't die because people were saying it would, it died because it's shit and html5 does everything it did, better, and without a player vulnerable to every exploit known to mankind

>>145841492

>>145841646
Again I had no internet for a while but I remember html5 having performance issues and browser compatibility issues, is it better now?

>>145841817
I was just kidding. There's no combo system or z-targeting. If there is any combat, it will be very light.

I'm working alone, but I'll need a music guy at some point.

>>145841720
It's better now because everyone is switching to it. All major browsers now support it, so there's no compatibility issues besides Dept of Defense computers stuck using IE7. I don't even think you can run Flash on Apple devices anymore, too.

>>145841665
Gundam 0083, it's got amazing animation and a terrible story which makes it perfect for watching with friends.
Also good inspiration for the space jam.

You have to set the right blend mode. I'm retarded and don't remember which set would do what you want. I'm also not going to google it for you.

>max health is a Stat, but current health is a regular attribute on the character

Thanks!
Close enough, it's a game where you eat spicy food and try not to shit yourself before you get to the toilet. Going to the toilet will give you a high score based on how close to the limit you get.

It's terribly inane but out of the concepts I came up with this one was the one most likely I would finish in time since I also have to work shifts at my job.

>>145844028
Man I miss Lucky Star, I should rewatch it one of these days.

It's just regular GM:Studio (professional), with a 3d collision DLL and a DLL enabling d3d mipmapping.

I haven't devved in it, but the Haxe language is supposed to replace Flash by emulating actionscript. It can export to HTML5 and several other platforms. Some of the frameworks for flash were ported too.

I cheated by adding CurrentHealth as an enum after the max enum value. So it's not stored in the stat array, and I just have a hardcoded check in the fountain function where if it's CurrentHealth, call Heal() instead of ChangeStat(). It works well enough.

Each object can specify a stat, an amount, the number of times it can be used (or infinite), and the maximum the stat can be before it stops working. In this case, I have something that heals health by 5 unlimited times, and something that increases strength by 1 unlimited times, up to a maximum of 3. Eventually there will be wells, barrels, and other gross things to drink from. There could even be, say, a bookshelf that increases a stat when interacted with. Just gotta set the mesh.

Reminder:
Writing your game in C is retarded.*
Being excited about graphics APIs like Vulkan or Mantle, if you're making 2D games, is retarded.

There are practically no indie games that have bad performance on modern computers, except for Minecraft, and that's because a) it's a large 3D world with thousands of blocks and b) Notch is a poor amateur programmer.

*If you're not making something as simulationally complex as Dwarf Fortress - which you aren't.

Which set is this?

Usually the problem with free art is that either:
1) You don't have an asset for everything you want to do in the game, and end up having to mix sets, which usually looks clashing and bad.
2) You have to design your game from the start to fit the constraints of the set, which isn't for everyone.

>>145850686

It's only spawning 1 because you're only passing 1 in.

Your game should keep a collection, and should loop through it to draw all players and enemies.

Like this:

Vector<Character> CharVec;

CharVec.push_back(player1);
CharVec.push_back(player2);
CharVec.push_back(enemy1);

etc

and then:

for(int i = CharVec.Begin(); i != CharVec.End(); ++i
{
CharVec[i].draw();
}

and such

>>145850684
Nope, no combat yet.

later lol = there's quite some groundwork still to be done for it to work.

I started redoing the tutorial at the start of this month to get ready for the DD and am rewriting lots of code for detecting all kinds of events easily without hardcoding them as previously. I know I'm slow.

imo i don't see why you'd want to be a designer. to me there are 2 roles in game development, artist and programmer. many games have been made with just a small handful of people with these skills.

of course when it comes to larger dev teams you need some sort of overall vision and management.

Learn to program.

He doesn't, if he only wants to build Space Invaders or Tetris.

But if he wants to build Pacman, Bubble Bobble or Asteroids, he already needs to know about most of those things.

trigonometry, high school physics, hashmaps like are you being serious? i don't even know what "basic vector addition" is for.

the way to learn gamedev is to follow some tutorials, then start making some very simple things based on what you've learned. that is inspiring and fun. more fun than laboring yourself through textbooks.

and i would say that you need arrays or lists for both space invaders and tetris. and asteroids isn't that much harder to make than space invaders or tetris. also you're forgetting an important part which is that he's using a game engine like game maker, so it has libraries for all that math stuff.

How do you do that without knowing about vectors? With eight if-blocks?

Would you play a Crimsonland clone?

Make the bottom round out so it looks like I can swing it without it flying out of my hand

>>145857310
REALLY? Not that guy but I was under the impression that since Steam is an international company it first takes its cut then sends you the rest then the government takes a cut from that and you get the rest.

>>145857310
That doesn't sound right.

You sell game for 100%, steam takes 30%, you pay tax on your 70% and Steam pays tax on their 30%.

That makes sense.

There are a lot of those games, and they're all largely the same.

You'd need a gimmick

>>145855974
Yeah, I should've probably spent more time on the model itself, before wasting all day texturing it.
At least this is practice. R-right?

On nearly all of the reference I found, there is no pommel, though.
But making it curve in was pretty stupid.

Yeah, at least make it keep width. I think a flat metal pommel on the end would be fine, though. Just like a metal disc nailed on. Wouldn't hurt the hand-crafted on a budget look.

The good thing about video games is you don't have to dwell on realism.
Especially ones of the fantasy kind.
Ignore the autists that demand everything in the genre be 1:1 of middle-ages.

>>145857278
this is really fun to play, i found some bugs though
the map number does not reset upon restarting/dying
the tough guy is capable of dealing damage too quickly when player is running to him
i think that mouse aiming would be more intuitive than the current system, since enemies can run in any direction and the player only in 8 main directions

I like the pommel on this one

Thinking about doing a stream here in a little while. I haven't had much time for dev lately and I have a ton of stuff I want to accomplish.

The problem is, I am one of the autists, to a degree.

>>145857518
Wow, weird. Does Steam then pay taxes to the US on THEIR share?

>>145858070
You will be rich

I would never let another dev touch my game

Thanks for your feedback!

I'm thinking of making so u can only take 3 hits from the big guy. The way i thought about every enemy is that they have a weakness. The big guy, if you hold the button away from (e.g. you go towards the way he's pushing you) u escape from his "grip".

Mouse aiming, maybe.. I have this stupid idea i want to put it on mobile so that's why i started with the buttons. I might make a mix tho depending how far i go with this. thanks for playing!

Disgusting
