Once you get the basic stuff, you can start experimenting an d learning from the mistakes you make.

anyone uses opengl here?

do you know how to make texture blend with itself within the same draw call? right now if i draw two intersecting textured polygons, and then try to sample texture where they intersect glsl just gives me the value from the last poly.

C++ or C#?

Which one to learn first?

>>145840472
C++ for Unreal, C# for Unity, GML for GameMaker. Pick one, then make game.

You realize in a world where Blazblue and Guilty Gear exist and are getting terrible sales, making an indie fighting game is pretty retarded.

Those 2 games have graphics and gameplay that you'll never be able to rival, so my question is, why waste your time?

SFML has setColor, which just tints it. WHere white is the default colors, so tinting it white is exactly the same as the original sprite. Dumb shit.

Well, waiting to the end of the month, then buying substance designer. Will be learning to texture very soon.

Procedural texturing doesn't look that hard and it appears faster. I was thinking of learning diffuse + spec workflow or handpainting textures, however substance painter and designer seem easier.

I don't know if this is cheating, but fuck it.

I don't know if its a real gamedev term. I've heard it in the contexts of both fashion and building Lego. I think it can be logically extended to pixel art.

Colorblocking is making blocks of color that are the same, and reducing stray pixels of different colors. A lot of Cave Story's sprites are well colorblocked. I'll use the Grassland NPCs as exmaples.

The bats are perfectly colorblocked.
The frog uses colorblocking, but still has single pixels by its ears.
The jumping helicopter slime thing (idk its name) looks overall colorblocked, but is aliased along the edges of the colorblocks. Note that it uses 1x2 blocks of pixels for parts of the alias so it still looks smooth.
The big jellyfish is not really well colorblocked at all.

Aliasing along color edges and dithering are anti colorblocking. Sprites can still look good without perfect colorblocking, and with aliasing along edges. But try to minimize the number of stray pixels

>>145878235
>>145878123


C# has the advantage over Java, in that it is the superior language (lambdas, delegates, etc).

C# also has the advantage over Java on windows, that it's VM outperforms jvm on windows, hence less fps spikes than jvm for games.

Java's singular pro for game dev is libGDX, because it is objectively superior to monogame/XNA.

I'm not saying there's no games that took 5 years and we're successful.

I'm just saying that it's pretty retarded to spend 5 years on a single game and then be surprised that your life is fucked because you wasted 5 years on a game no one bought.

People buying lottery tickets are retarded, but that doesn't mean 1 person in 10 million won't make money, it's thinking you'll be that person that makes you retarded.

1. check the positions of both boxes
2. check dimensions of both with something like GetComponent.<Collider>().bounds.size

lol, I was trying to avoid another ECS vs OOP thread. If you're serious about this watch this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U03XXzcThGU

or read this for a basic intro

http://cowboyprogramming.com/2007/01/05/evolve-your-heirachy/

lots of ECS implementations exist now. So, you can try one that fits your framework. if you're using Unity, you're already using a semi-ECS framework.


ECS is good for
- when you want to create game entities at runtime with data, and you need that flexibility
- game entities have complex behaviour that will be difficult to model in a traditional OOP model

Success in gamedev comes from hit games. A better game is more likely to be a hit. The question is, is spending longer to make a game worth the effort? If you can crank out 5 goood games in 5 years, is that better or worse than 1 perfect game in 5 years? Do you think that effort into a game scales linearly into success, or are there diminishing returns?

I think 20 meme games is more likely to be successful than 2 serious games, even if you spend the same time total on both.

So, anyone making turn based games out there? How are you handling it? The turns?

I'm thinking each game object that needs to respond to a turn should have a function that handles that, and then from whatever UI code is responsible for the next turn button or whatever you send some global message or something to that function, but I'm not sure how this would work exactly

using cloak https://github.com/incompl/cloak and message passing, basically send a message that says PASS or END TURN

I'm working in unity making a turn based tactics game.
I have one object that handles all of the input and the turns. All of the code for controlling turns is in the update function of that class, so everything can be called in the correct order.

This only has the update function, but you can fill in whatever logic must be done in the functions called by it

I've read some pretty disappointing things about it. Accessing other objects that are not by direct reference in unity is a one way ticket to lagtown.

>>145894064
The design depends on what the mechanics are.
For jumping, you want pits that demonstrate the exact range of possible jumps, and a pit that you have to jump out of.

>>145893987
Mega Man 1 programmer was from industrial background, where his code was used in machinery that could endanger lives if he didn't do his job right. As such, his code was a programmer who basically did the hard stuff for the team with less input on the design process.

However, his code was somewhat slow (because of numerous safety checks). As the original plan was to make a run-and-gun kind of game, this idea had to be scrapped and the designer(s) focused on careful enemy placement instead.

>>145894127
You can be the best programmer/mathematician in the world. If you don't understand game design, then you might as well be building the engines for actual game designers to work on. You're just doing nothing but wanking to the mechanics you built, but doing nothing in the way making games.

My mistake, "/vg/". I forgot where I was. I'm just saying, go look at the Martyfun tumblr. Noill can make all the graphics and mechanics in the world, but he has absolutely zero sense of game design. Years of tinkering, and nothing to show for it. Spinning his wheels.

Is there a cheap/easy way to find the midpoint between two rotations, and have it stay between the two rotations even if the target goes beyond 180 degrees?

Slerping works up to 180, but then the midpoint flips around to the opposite side of the axis once the target angle goes past 180.

>>145895756
No, just straight line.
Yeah dumb ones for start.
Yes.
You can climb all cliffs as long as they're 90 degrees.

midpoint of two vectors is the half vector, which is found by adding them together and normalizing

>not sure how to keep it on the same side,
Yeah, that's the specific problem I'm having.

Using unity, slapping a Quaternion.Slerp works just fine for maintaining the rotations midpoint. Up until the target exceeds 180, and then the midpoint flips around to the now smaller arc.

There should be some simple way to handle it, slerp is doing almost everything I need, but I'm coming up with nothing for the flipping issue.

Just take a quick look at Symphony of the Night. There's a small animation that plays before the actual walking cycle starts, and another when the player stops moving.

No need to make them as elaborate as that game, but such animations help with eliminating a snappy look.

I know the feel. But it looks good. Most games have it like that. Some transition might be needed if you really want it smooth.

Feels a bit weird with the detail being in a lighter color than the base coat - maybe try inverting? Also consider making certain parts fully the lighter/darker color if they're supposed to be recessed or stand out.

Part 3
I can also help with the "hard" section of the level, but I'd need some feedback on the assumption I made in this section.

The process I'm using is to think of all of the things about a mechanic that the player must know, and build a small contained demonstration of those. You can either do this for every broad feature of the mechanic, or show the player every edge case. You know the mechanics better than I do, so you know if I missed any cases.

I know I keep not working on the boss fight, which is pushing the demo off, and I'm sorry for that.

But I really did want to get this feature included before the next demo because I think it's just so critical to replay value and I want the demo to be fun to play.

So: FREE SLAY MODE!

Rather than being a main menu option (since Mayhem League has no main menu), you can enable Free Slay at any time from the pause menu (I know this is nonstandard but I think it works well); once enabled, any level you enter will be entered in Free Slay mode (it can't be enabled/disabled mid-play to avoid the potential for cheating).

Free Slay mode disables all objective-completion registry (they still show in the pause menu, I still have to disable that) and high-score recording, but it also disables the level timer, meaning you can play as much as you want. The level still "progresses" through Tiers, including past the final boss, meaning that (eventually) you will wind up at the final Tier with the invincible enemies forever, but it doesn't just skip you to that point because Free Slay isn't just about the potential for fun, but for PRACTICE.

In keeping with said, there are many training-mode-style options for Free Slay. Shown here are an Onechanbara Z2 styled anim-progress-bar that shows where the hurtboxes and listen windows are, as well as the early-cancel walk window, and also a hurtbox-drawing option (look how simple they are! Take that, Sakurai, with your damn capsules). Also in the works are a Bayo-style dynamic move list that shows potential combo strings as you enter them, and an attack-properties-readout that shows damage, knockback, and other key attack properties as they pertain to the enemy the attack hit.

Hopefully this information, shown in real-time while you play, lets people really learn the ins and outs of each attack in Mayhem League, which will, in turn, hopefully enable them to play better.

Oh! Also not shown in here (the Webm cuts off) is that I've done some more overhauling of the menu navigation; now, you can FINALLY save and load controller presets without using the mouse to do it!

You still need the keyboard if you want to type in a name for your custom control config (otherwise it just defaults to User) but hey, controller-driven on-screen keyboards are complicated as fuck. Many games actually use the console's own on-board solution for this (I know FFXIV ARR does, for instance).

Mayhem League is still a PC game, after all... but this way you can at least call up control templates without switching to KB/M.

>>145901707
Gunplay was shit, otherwise it was excellent.

But I happen to agree with Samuel Kite (?) that the game would have been better as it was obviously originally conceived (a game where you start with all the powers and no story, and the game is about learning to master your powers and figuring out what happened; a game told in reverse, which there are vestiges of in hidden hints for how to control things like jumps and glides and the Web of Intrigue).

It could have redefined the way sandbox games are designed but instead someone at Activision got scared and obviously demanded a "linear progression" format to make it more accessible.

A driving simulator, but unlike one of those European trucking games. You drive a car, first person view. It's story driven. It's in "real time" so one hour in game is one hour in RL.

You have to get to a very distant destination. Maps are procedural generated. Visibility is poor. Starts off normal. After awhile shit starts getting weird. Occasionally, you'll have to hit you'll have to hit the breaks for deer or possums crossing the road. Eventually, weird shit you can't ID streaks across. The normally random traffic seems to thin out. but sometimes you see someone following you, not passing when you slow down to let them by. There's a radio station but it only picks up a couple AM stations. One's crazy old testament preacher raving about the end of the world. The other is a conspiracy theory nut. One's a music station if that's what player prefers. Both of the talking stations start getting crazier and crazier as the night wears on. If the player focuses on the radio eventually he'll pick up pirate stations or numbers station. Outside generally spooky shit happens with increasing frequency. Thick, seemingly sentient fog banks. Strange lights. Strange fires. Monsters. Whatever. Everything and the kitchen sink, but randomized.

The driver isn't allowed to go too slow. At first it just fails the mission, later in the game the followers finally catch up and attack, game over. There are moments when the player needs to drive super fast, but not so often as the police(crazy trigger happy) pull you over. There's an insanity meter that affects your perception and your ability to control the car. Too much damage renders it inoperable. While the player has a GPS map system to destination, side routes are also possible if the player wants to risk it. It can also lead to dead ends and wild goose chases. Sometimes they're broad open highways, sometimes winding forest lanes, sometimes silent suburbia, sometimes abandoned industrial wastes.

You're going from an engine that is specialized in one genre to an engine that is open and able to make any genre. You'll have to learn how to make a game for real now. But it's easy to learn, you can do it.

I basically used some trig to map a 2d texture to a circle drawn in 2d, moving each point down slightly the farther from the center it was to give it the "tilt" - otherwise it looked too flat. Probably not the most optimal way, other anons here might have better ideas

like what were you expecting? us to write your song for you? this is a suttle brag if i've ever seen one. Just wrap it up on a chord that leads into the starting notes of the song so that it can loop

Pixelart is better as gif

>>145907570
I haven't figured out a good way to convert to gif. Any suggestions?

>>145907652
Converting it to gif will not help with the artifacts.

Just record it with gif to begin with.

>>145907792
They probably mean to convert it from source, not from webm to gif, duh

>>145907936
Uh oh.

divorce and take the house

working on a game does feel like being in a relationship. A relationship where you make her look really nice, coach her personality, and send her out into the world for people to explore her hoping that she satisfies them.

Anyone know how to stip procrastination? I feel great when I create something but the whole process exhausts me, I love games and I love learning them but whenever I need to learn something I can't force myself to.
Plus I'm shit at drawing.
