Progress:

- Laid some of the groundwork for more exciting attachments (I'm calling them "modules") like weapons and fart rockets.

- Optimized the heat glow effect by like 75%. Also I now turn any fragments with less than a certain HP into confetti that shrinks and disappears to prevent lagging up the game.

Neither are really meme webmable so here is another ship I've made in a different, softer-edged art style that I might just roll with. There's also a gun module. The white magazine sorts below the hull and gets revealed if you manage to "undress" it without destroying it. Also, the barbette lights up green to indicate that it's powered and ready to fire, or red to show that it's reloading.

I feel like the way I'm doing this is wrong.
Basically I'm generating a grid if tiles that are either empty(0) or walls(1) then I need to know the type of corner (the spheres) by checking four surrounding tiles. As of now I'm using an enum to mark the type of corner (so black = surrounded by walls, while = surrounded by empty, red, blue, green, yellow = mixed).
But this means having 16 cases in the enum (from 0000 to 1111), plus some others I'm going to need later on.
Is there a better way to do this?

>>146651408
note that the resulting vector will be from the origin which may be important depending on what you're doing

>>146651408
are you doing vectors?
vectors have direction and magnitude, so (-1,-1,-1) is not (1,1,1). Throw a negative in there, it might fix it

>>146651408
what happens instead
it should theoretically work

highly recommend devving to Swans

>>146651540
>>146651535
yes it's vector position in unity
Basically when i do this
transform.LookAt(TargetPosition);
it works fine
if i understand it correctly this should do the exactly same thing:
transform.forward = TargetPosition-TransformPosition;

But it doesn't, i don't get it, all positions are in world coordinates

>>146651697
transform.forward is in world space, the direction vector you have can be considered to be in local space. If you want to set it like that you need to multiply the direction vector with the localToWorld matrix first.

>>146651791
If i am subtracting two world positions, how can be the resulting direction in local space?

I'll be doing left then, since I'm going for a "small scale" feel. Really want to make the player feel like they're an experiment gone wrong and unleashed on unsuspecting space bumpkins. Also to make the screen-filling bosses look even bigger when they appear.

Here's some dynamically-generated colliders. They're rather overdetailed in places and underdetailed in others, but I'm not certain I want to dive into the original code to try and figure out what's wrong. Should work well enough for triggering bullets at least.

Well in short the core of the final game will be about drawing lines that bounce off "open" corners (so 3 empty tiles and 1 wall tile) and stop when they hit a flat wall (so two wall tiles next to each other). Pic related.
So I need the spheres at the corners to know the surrounding tiles' types to tell the line if it can bounce off and where, or if it has to stop.

I guess I could use marching squares but the first time I read about it sometime ago it was too much for my bird brain.

That's the idea. In worms, an explosion would result in some parts of the mask to be removed in a circular shape (the size depend on the explosion magnitude).
This way you can also add some terrain at runtime (adding a girder, for instance).

I don't think it would work either, but you can always ask the developer to be sure.

Having 2D foreground sprites casting shadows into a 3D background sounds like a fairly niche problem that would require some custom work. I'd personally use a standard 3D lighting system, and attach an invisible (yet shadow-casting) 3D mesh to every sprite. You can predefine these meshes and automatically sync them up with animations.

Sure, I'll hit the guy up. I don't feel it's that hard, though.

Basically what I'm trying to do is render the 3D background below all the 2D sprites and then draw the 2D shadows on a "plane" in front of it.

You might be asking what the point is. For starters, Unity puts all the 2D objects on a plane in 3D space. At the predetermined locations where my background intersects the plane, I'll place static 2D terrain that can be interacted with. The 2D shadows will make this terrain more prominent against the background, especially since the player ship will have a 2D light source in front of it. Of course ships and other dynamic objects will cast 2D shadows as well, but generally speaking the 2D and 3D "worlds" don't directly interact.

I feel this isn't too complicated, but I may be missing something important.

>3D background below all the 2D sprites

Actually it makes sense that if something is above the shadow plane, it gets rendered above it. If that asset works the way I think it does, then I won't need to do anything special to facilitate this.

Wilbur Wright didn't die from thyroid fever but but his legal case had negative outcome, went broke and he wrote down his ideas without having the resources to implement. Enthusiastic aeronautics students take him in and have him be their project lead for a new revolutionary craft that can suspend itself in mid air.

Rotorlevitators are being advanced far faster than aeroplanes after that because of the gripping story and popularity the feat got during that time.

Don't make them boring fucking helicopters. Make them Like Halo VTOLs or whatever.
Have them be advanced bird-like constructs with similar mobility (birds are fucking awesome).
I can't find good footage of what sparrows do for you, but I have a bird-feeder outside and it's ridiculous the turns they make. They're like missiles navigating between branches.

Ah, I see what you mean now. Although the rightmost image doesn't make physical sense, I like the aesthetic in the same way as I like light rays. As you also mentioned, it helps differentiate foreground from background for gameplay purposes.

Looks good. I think it'd look really nice if explosions/thrusters/etc cast real light onto the background (ignoring the shadow plane).

Somethingsomething shadows in the god rays. I'll admit the picture I posted isn't too flattering of the idea, so I drew up my mental idea of it on paper. The dotted lines here represent the shadow plane.

It helps if you imagine that the game mostly takes place in a top-down perspective, and that the strongest 2D light sources are cast by immediately significant things, like explosions.

physics is easy - it's just velocity and acceleration
velocity is how fast a thing is moving at any given moment
acceleration is how that thing speeds up or slows down

>>146664460
There are previews in the original link.

>>146664675
Position, rotational velocity and inertia too. But most 2D games don't really use inertia or any real rotational velocity.

I've been wondering if the game wouldn't get stale from only being able to build parallel layers of wall since then there's not much strategy to the game other than "build as many walls as you can". I think instead of having big square bricks to form labyrinths (which would let you route mexicans through the longest path like other tower defenses have done in the past), I'll just make it really intense and fast-paced like those giant worm flash games and the "shark in miami" game.

They're not complicated, they're not smart games, all you do is dive up and down destroying everything with big explosions, but it still feels really fun just because of how crazy it gets. So I guess I just gotta have something happen every other second that makes the player go holy shit.

I don't wan't the camera scrolling influence some complex movement patterns, this make the development of bosses more easy and more universal to all stages.
So the requirement is a frozen camera with scrolling background. The easiest method is override Parallax Background and move the offset manually based on a flag, speed and direction.

This overrides the automatic scrolling with a flag and in fixed update I can scroll it manually.

func _camera_moved(transform):
if(direction_from_camera):
._camera_moved(transform) #take a note on the dot, that dot is "call the parent method" or super keyword on other languages, which is the original instruction for follow the camera scrolling from godot

on fixed_update I should play with set_scroll_offset(offset); for achieve manual parallax

The best thing about this is, I can use the built in parallax and swap seamlessly to manual one.

When I press the Space button or whatever button, I want the game to look at whatever direction the player object is facing which right now will only be 1 of 4 set directions, 0, 90, 180, and 270, and from there determine which sprite to transform into, to help with animation.

Is an Index Buffer worth it if the object only has four vertices?

Nice work anon, keep it up!

All this usability is blowing my mind.

Meanwhile you could have been done already if you had just learned to program.

considering he knows what getters and setters are he probably already knows how to program

>>146675646
get/sets are pretty basic though, nor would an experienced programmer be using them
also why would he be using BPs then?

This whole blueprint coding thing is so stupid. They're proposing something that is impossible: Turning non-programmers into programmers. It doesn't matter what the syntax is, either you can or you can't program.

Changing the syntax doesn't reduce the complexity of what programming inherently is.

>>146675753
Well the only UE4 alternative is C++

>>146674626
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.

>Changing the syntax doesn't reduce the complexity of what programming inherently is.
Bro there is high level and there is low level.

Blueprints just has some poor design choices.

Reminder that "coding" is a different skill to "programming".

>>146675753
Using UE4 without any blueprints whatsoever is a bitch and unnecessary.

They're fine, anon is just being silly

What kind of game are you making for space jam?

>>146677260
Schedule your day m8.
Even better if you're a NEET.
2 hours of each with some breaks in-between.

People make the mistake of only concentrating on one for months at a time. And that fucks you, you need to practice everything ,every day.

>>146677557
Probably none

Murder mystery on a space station

you're the murderer, so you don't want them to solve the mystery

Also a shooter/platformer/rpg with elements of metroid, crafting/survival and beatemup

Dunno if you're still around but Smokin' Guns is pretty great. I think it's a standalone mod based on the Quake 3 engine. It's fucking great lanparty game.

Sadly, this anon is right. Just try to think about a day where you've felt you could do more. I mean really think about it. All those times when you just scroll trough the boards you visit, the moment you sit down to play or watch a film or anything just to get inspiration, the seemingly short minutes when you check the news in a break or get some refreshment, because you feel kinda tired. They seem so small, yet they add up to so much. Get rid of these and you'll realize you have just enough time.

For people making games in C++, what did you do before you began devving? Did you learn from a book, or an online resource and then begin making games? Or did you just jump right in?

I'd like to make stuff in C++, but haven't used the language yet.

>>146679431
fucked around on youtube
realized that was shit
started following Jumping Into C++
then looked into a Bjarne bible.
And now I pretty much just have it and learncpp open for reference.

Does anyone here know how to mathematically convert a normal map to a dUdV map? I know there's some magic Photoshop invert then contrast method, but that doesn't seem very mathematical to me. I can't find any actual math on converting it.

Yeah they're too good for agdg even though nobody would know they exist without agdg. I used to think Steamchat was okay but after enough observation realized it's a depressing circlejerk and most of them are just shitposters. They shit up the thread anonymously and then hang back in the chat acting like they have nothing to do with agdg. Just another chat room full of sad people who need internet "friends" to talk to. They should honestly all kill themselves. Same goes for IRC of course.

>>146680091
then why are you posting on steamchat all the time and barely posting in the thread at all

is it because you get bullied about your failed kickstarter and samefag shilling

So I improved my card design.
Should be much cleaner now.

Thoughts?

Watch now as a steamchat shitter anonymously stabs at a fellow steamchat shitter through the veil of agdg. Such an honorable group. They're so much better than agdg and not cancer at all.

there isn't a mathematical way to convert a 3D vector to a 2D derivative I don't think

at least not that I know of
