This is likely because I fire the projectile straight from the player's center, not the actual gun position. I might fix this in the future, but it's not a big concern of mine.

>>146409840
no idea that existed, i'll check if i can rip off that for some levels

>>146409918
it's just placeholders that are probably going to be in the final game anyway. I wanted to use toon shading but holes become literally invisible, so i'll probably just keep it for objects.

It's not.
Most games like that are boring once you reach end-game once. Granted his classes were a nice bonus. But I stand by my original statement.

>>146411496
I think that was honestly the game's main strength. That, and the time-based difficulty. It's a constant arms race: you try to stack power and upgrades faster than the world around you does. That's addictive. And there's immense satisfaction to be found when you finally achieve "unstoppable death machine" status on a victorious run.

>>146412318
>Most games like that are boring once you reach end-game once
>saying that of a game praised by it's replayabilty

>>146412485
I guess I'm biased because once I see the repetition/programming limits start to creep in PG/RG games I instantly get bored.

>>146412318
To be fair, most roguelikes lose a heavy amount of their charm after you finally beat them once.
Thankfully they usually last a good 20-50 hours, and remain exciting during that time.

Oh so I don't iterate over all coordinates but rather pick them at random?

>>146414427
kill yourself.

My game has no story. How do I make the player want to continue playing?
Even in games like Receiver or Teleglitch, where the story is mostly an afterthought, there's a goal: there's something you're trying to accomplish. My game is just, kill the enemies, reach the end of the level, beat the boss, etc. There's not really any goal the player can work towards.

>>146414053
>>146414260
Tactical RPGs are only called simulation RPGs in Japan because they're retards who don't know what English words like Simulation mean.

Immersive Sims have "sim" in there for a reason. There is nothing "sim" about Langrisser, Ogre Battle or Final Fantasy Tactics.

>>146414602
you mad :D

>>146414635

>>146414341
it does though????

>>146414635
>just, kill the enemies, reach the end of the level, beat the boss, etc.
If it worked for entire console gens it can work now. It even still works for mario.
Make the gameplay fun and you're fine.

>>146414653

they're simulating a war, m8

but that's a problem in and of itself, because war i a combination of strategy and tactics.

in a game like FFT you can't retreat or send decoy forces, or manage any supply lines, or control war economy resources. it's got no strategy at all (and that's okay)

>>146414598
Well, you pick a random starting point and use the noise continuously around it. You can also use random numbers to choose amplitude, scale, differently across all the octaves, permute how the noise is combined, etc.

There isn't anything intrinsically wrong with for loops but in my experience I've found people who rely on them tend to use a brute force method for their algorithms. Recursion usually indicates more experience and faster code overall.

>>146420607
I agree. Recursion still isn't intrinsically faster.

>>146420607

More boss work.

Close-range shot attack is more or less functional, though I want the "dropped" Grunt grenades to spawn touhou projectiles since it's unlikely they'll actually hit you.

Maybe I'll just drop touhou traps instead. IDK. Point is, the animation is there.

Also, Big Jim can now walk across the arena, and turn around at the other end. Which is nice, makes him feel more dynamic.

Still to come: a stomp attack I've animated for "medium range" melee, which spawns huge radial waves when Jim is in the center of the arena and the player is hiding at the edges.

I'd have stayed busier, but I'm just rewatching Nier Automata footage over and over again.

A game where you yiff in actual hell.

>>146422894
FOY

I'm using unity,
I'm writing c# scripts,
I have two scripts:
1st script is named "charTemplate"
2nd script is named "playerManager"

In my first script I have declared a number of
public float variable = initialized to a value;

In my second script I have declared some
public float playerVariable = initialized to zero;
public float playerVariableStatBuff = 5f;

I am trying to figure out how to get the value of
'variable' from the first script in order to do something like
playerVariable = charTemplate.variable + playerVariableStatBuff;

Do I need both of these scripts actually
attached to objects in the scene? Or can I even
access variables like this?

If I can't figure it out in a few days, I suppose
I'll just hard code everything to keep progress
but I'd like to get an understanding of how to
get scripts to talk to each other.

>>146423025
Attach both scripts to a singleton object in the scene, named gameManger or whatever.
To access one script from the other, use
gameObject.GetComponent<charTemplate>.variable = whatever;

>>146423187
that's true.
But you can shitpost nosales next week.

>>146423279

>>146423228
but you have the HD Re-Smudged Edition :)

>>146423025
There are a lot of ways you can do this.
If the two scripts are on different gameobjects, you can make a variable in the second script with the declaration public FIrstScriptName firstScript, and then in Unity's inspector, drag the gameobject containing the first script onto the second script's firstScript field, then call firstScript.variable to use that variable.
You can do what >>146423025 said and have them be on the exact same gameobject, though based on the variable names you've given I don't think that'll work out.
You can use Unity's Tag system and tag the gameobject of the first script, then use Gameobject.FindWithTag in the second script to find that gameobject and access the first script.

There's maybe a few more. The best solution mostly depends on how you're structuring these gameobjects/scripts.

Okay, so the script is only accesible as a
component of an object. Thank you.

And the >in Unity's inspector, drag the
gameobject containing the first script onto the
second script's firstScript field, then call
firstScript.variable to use that variable is what
I was missing completely, I'll try some
of that stuff you said about tagging different
objects too, because that sounds useful for
what I was trying to do. Thanks again to you
both.

>>146423025
And as an addendum, in response to
>Do I need both of these scripts actually attached to objects in the scene?

It depends on if these things you're talking about are Unity scripts (class derives from MonoBehavior), or just normal C# classes. For the former, they need to be attached to gameobjects, and it sounds like you want the former.

Everything.
http://hastebin.com/kanavujuju.java doesn't seem to lend itself well to the design I've been using for my engine and when I tried implementing a version of it it just..didn't do what I wanted at all.

So I tried to make something up where instead I treat dialogue like an other component, just a struct of data (Text, Choice options, script to run). My dialogue system increments the text being shown, my draw system draws text to the screen based on the dialogue component. I'm using csscript to script: https://csscriptsource.codeplex.com

When a dialogue opens, I actually load a new state, and draw the previous state, and have the current state only have dialogue system updates. This essentially pauses the entire game whenever dialogue opens.

It's working out a little better, but I'm not sure if I'm going to run into limitations down the line.

Simply put, your sprite dimensions should be at least double the height of a single tile. This gives you a lot of area to work with and still conform to how your world looks instead of conforming the world to how your character looks. It's also the safest.

Assuming you're using 32x32 tiles, then the sprite should ideally be 32x64.

Game Dev noob here looking for advice -

As someone starting out with near-zero coding knowledge, what Engine would people recommend I start learning, Unity or GameMaker? I'd like to at least get started making 2d rpg/adventure-style games (think 2d Zelda, Hyper Light Drifter, etc) and I know GameMaker is pretty powerful for that sort of thing, but I also want to eventually learn something like Unity for the flexability (and 3d capability) it gives you compared to GameMaker.

So should I start with something like GameMaker, or just dive right in to Unity and learn the hard way? Or is it even that hard?

Is Unity simple enough for a noob to just make some ambient environments where you walk around listening to music with pretty much nothing happening? More or less as a demo thing.
UE4 didn't really go all that well in that department because it's kinda complicted, although I could shove rocks and shit around and walk on it as fpsman.

finish two/three actual games then try 3d

>>146428425
>does it look like an insect?
It looks kinda like a goat or a bird with horns

>>146428559
yes, it's perfect for that

but you should find a unique shader and lighting so you stand out

>>146428694
Is there enough decent looking foliage and environment models lying around for it, as well?

>>146422538
The price. Who the fuck pays $15 for 1½h long indie game with no gameplay?

>>146428559
It should work for that but not even shilling I don't think UE4 is that bad for that either, just use the FPS blueprint template, get rid of the gun and start dragging and dropping your assets into the world and you have a bonafide walking simulator.

>>146428513

Am I correct about this?
To perform a boolean operation on a mesh. You need to find where the meshes intersect and then apply a boolean operation.
For an adding operation you form a new mesh by merging overlapping verticies and add the other meshws verticies to the ne?mesh.

For an intersection operation, you check you to see where the two meshes overlap and you merge those vertices and delete vertices that don't.

For a difference operation you do the opposite of intersection and keep vertices that don't overlap and remove ones that do.
