More progress on the shrink beam. I made it change colors based on if it's shrinking on enlarging stuff.
I also added a hologram which shows a wireframe of the object that is being targeted.

Working on a lil' shmup, since I never finish anything because my scope is always too big.

So far I've got:
>Player movement
>Weapon levels 1-5
>Shield mechanic

>Basic enemies
>Easily definable firing patterns for enemies
>Easily definable spawning patterns for enemies
>Somewhat easily definable movement paths

>Basic weapon pickup
>J U I C E

For some reason I can't get the FPS to go over 60, and I have no idea what's causing it. My room_speed is 200, so I have zero fucking clue why the FPS is capped.

>>146859341
Those explosions are pretty nice with the style you have going, but what might make them look a bit more dramatic is to have 2 explosions appear in a bit of random positions, maybe like 1 in the center of the ship and 1 where the bullet impacted, and to make both explosions a bit faster, the spiky things kinda drag on too long and i could see that hurting visibility when you start mowing down ships like they're nothing.

Thanks, we'll see how far I get with it.

>>146859805
Thanks. The explosions are simply two spheres drawn on top of another, with the outer (orange) sphere having its normals inverted, that is, its inside is showing. The spiky things are the same with cones instead of spheres.
The bullets are drawn in a similiar fashion.


The trail effect (for the player) is created by storing the player's position into a list and then drawing multiple primitives according to those points.

Spaceship Decapitation.

Mostly preparatory work but I also made weapons aim at the mouse cursor, but only if they're attached to you and powered. A bit boring but I'm trying to prepare for the fact that they'll be able to change hands at a moment's notice.

Before I proceed on weapons, I'd like some help deciding on a control scheme.

>Option A
Weapons always point at the mouse cursor and are made to fire by clicking or pressing a button. You can only fire the weapons you have selected, but you have precise control over the time of fire, which is important for powerful, low-RoF guns.

>Option B
Use the mouse to assign weapons to aim at specific parts of enemy ships. You can assign a target to one group of weapons, select another group, and give that one a different order. Weapons will automatically fire when loaded, only making rudimentary raycasts to see if there's no allies in the way.

>Either way
You can use the number keys to assign and recall weapon groups. Ship movement is controlled using W/A/S/D/Q/E. You can set your weapon groups to categorically auto-include weapons as you assimilate them (1 takes all guns, 2 takes all beams, 3 takes all missiles, etc.).

Any suggestions?

Guys I'm still coming up with concepts for my game - I know some of rpgs have had playing cards used as weapons, but have any used them for combining attacks? Something like you attach a card to a spell and the effect is multiplied or altered (trying to be original here). I am also going to have some card minigame as well for fun - how reasonable is it to come up with a card game that is completely original? Otherwise it will probably be a variant of 21 like almost every other card minigame

Hey, anon, that's great. What I'm going for is actually more of a standard jrpg battle system with cards having a minor role for some classes. Thanks for the recommendation, though. I feel I should mention the pokemon trading card game for the Gameboy too, that was a neat game.

You could also check out PSO Episode III. It has deck building and stuff, but it also utilizes grid movement and dice rolls, and it's unique in that depending on the side you pick, you focus on either equipping weapons and armor or focus on summoning creatures. Very fun.

>>146864198
Roguelike platformers are typically not turn based. Among others, you could check Spelunky and the more RPG-like Vagante (an AGDG game). Speaking of AGDG games, Risk of Rain probably qualifies too. And then you have Chasm and Catacomb Kids and Rogue Legacy, etc.

They are platform RPGs with perma-death.

Those are not roguelikes though. The turn/grid based gameplay system is a more essential element to the genre than perma-death, which is often omitted in favor of lighter death penalties.

These days Roguelike means something with procedural content, some form of strategy, and permadeath.

If you people insist on enforcing a strict definition of Roguelike as "turn based and/or ASCII" or whatever else the Berlin interpretation contains, we're going to keep all these meaningless divides between Roguelites and Roguelikelikes and whatever the hell people come up with.

The setting I came up with is a somewhat typical future city deal. The story characters are part of an ex-police force. The idea I have to incorporate the cards into the story is that the cards themselves store data for weapons and equipment, and by scanning the cards, the characters can use whatever it is that they've scanned. Things like abilities and skills are also effective.

Naturally, the police would put a restriction on cards so that they don't get out of hand, but due to some circumstances, the story characters end up as ex-cops and formed their own group which will let them use "banned" cards, or cards with restrictions on them since they no longer have to worry about keeping their jobs.

>>146866647
What if you could press a button to swing the camera into a side view of your autism structures?

>>146866234
If you take the original Rogue and make it real time, or if you give it timed button presses, I'm pretty sure it's still a roguelike.

That divide seems pretty pointless to me. But if you think real-time gameplay + procedural generation + permadeath is worlds apart from turn based strategy + procedural generation + permadeath, then that's totally okay. I can't change your mind, and it's a pretty silly thing to get into an argument about.

Being able to take as long as you want to think about your next move is a very important part of playing roguelikes. It's one of the main mechanics that make roguelikes about managing risk.
If roguelikes were in real time, the player's ability to effectively manage risk would be limited by their skill and how fast they can think, like pretty much any action RPG.

>specifically working on levels

But that isn't specific at all. Do you even know what role you want to fill?

Level design that encourages good gameplay is specific to each and every title, no one can teach you how to make a good level that brings the most out of every game. You have to know the gameplay inside and out, and test and tweak every wall and floor until you know the impact a change will have before you even make it.

Sound design for levels is a fucking art unto itself. Each engine has a different way of approaching good sound implementation. Each game will have different priorities for sounds, and once again, its a matter of knowing the gameplay well enough to determine what the player needs to hear the most. And how they need to hear it. And why they need to hear it.

Or maybe you just want to do concept art or moodboards for levels? Or do you want to create textures for the level designers? Or do you want to create modular pieces with the environment artists? Maybe you want to handle foliage creation instead of hard shapes? What about just set dressing? Optimization and clean up job? Strictly level gameplay logic and programming? Water asset creation? Particle artist?

Go on. Tell me what you want to do, and I'll tell you why going to school for it is a bad idea.

I'll wait.

I think so too, which is arguably the worst job you could ever possibly go to school for.

They can't teach you how to make a good level for every game. The best they can do is teach you the basic design principles, which you can learn for free, on your own, while actually designing levels and gaining real, first-hand experience by working with a team.

Should the client just handle inputs and the positions of stuff?

void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other){}

>>146872026
Depends on the game. If it is an mmo, assume the client is a hacker trying to ruin your game. Don't trust what he sends you is valid.
If it is just a coop game, you don't have to worry about that.

>Not really interested in the programming part, more the design part sorry you failed to get a job

Dude, you are a bit delusional with your expectations. Even engineers need to do shit they don't like to get money when they start.
You're telling us you are going into video game design just to do levels? Sorry but you are probably going to regret that unless you have family members that own game design studios or you manage to partner up with other people (which is unlikely because you don't want to do the heavy lifting, and no one will take you).

It's alright to have dreams, but don't sabotage yourself, you have more chances of making it if you learn how to code and place yourself in the right position first.
Anyways, that's my 2 cents, all the best in your career choice.

>>146872075
Just found the solution after googling for several minutes, in case anyone runs into a similar problem:

>"Add a rigidbody to the trigger and check its Is Kinematic checkbox: kinematic rigidbodies don't react to collisions nor suffer gravity effects, but enable the trigger to detect any collider."

>>146872075
Read this: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/129796/rigidbodoy-vs-collider.html

For efficiency, Unity only checks for collisions involving RigidBodies because they're the only objects supposed to move around.

I made a java application that resized images to fit certain criteria. It was the time of Palm devices with 32mb of memory and really slow internet connections so a tool that had an easy UI and allowed you to batch resize shitloads of pics at once was quite useful.
It's a pointless project nowadays with memory and internet speeds as they are, it still gets a couple of downloads a day for some reason though.

I also showed them code for a card game that I had in progress, it could be played online so there was code for handling reading and writing from/to sockets.

Doing that got me my first job in my first interview ever. I was absolutely un-hireable from a CV perspective (was just starting uni, and had no previous experience other than making shitty games at home that I always left unfinished).

Another thing is that for most people getting their first job is hard, but after that it becomes easy. This is because companies don't like to spend money on training, they want someone who already has the skills and proven experience.

A game design degree is loaded. On the surface, most potential employers will think of it as someone who has a lot of ideas and no way to implement it. You need to concentrate your efforts into specific areas. Degree-anon wants to be a level designer, so he basically needs to learn modeling, of course, then
> Design fundamentals.
> Navigation efficiency.
> Architectural design.
> Etc
> Proficiency in multiple programs.
This makes him a prime candidate over someone who paints tiles and screen filled with spikes. Plus, he'll have the skills necessary to work in other areas related to mapping, like texturing, asset building, etc.
Depending on what his studies actually entails, he'll already be working in a professional environment assuming he looks into internships.

Degrees are only worthless if you're worthless.

If the south won and i could still own slaves i would use them to make the animations for me because this is fucking slave work

The detail on the lower left of the tab looks nice, but it has a more eastern/Asian feel than northern European (I'm guessing that's what you want since your character looks like a stereotypical fantasy viking type)
The shape is fine though and doesn't take up much of the screen.

>>146878115
That's the thing. I'm using delta timing and I've set the room_speed to 200, but for SOME REASON the actual FPS is capped to 60 and I have no idea why.

>>146878584
If the south won we (you, I'm not American) would probably be slaves to massive corporations in a more explicit fashion.

Or we'd probably not have slavery because of later incidents. With slavery being so inefficient and all you'd probably have some corporation come and solve the situation by offering wageslavery. That way they don't need the guards (which were often participants of the populous that were legally mandated to hunt slaves).

Maybe we wouldn't even have videogames yet?

I would have to learn modelling from ground up and that would set me back. I've been working with Photoshop for over a decade now, not that I'm some pro-level user, but I'm used to the interface and have better control of the results. Plus I'd rather have an okay-decent result that does it's job instead of a shoddy 3D one. For me doing this is just easier, anon. Also I enjoy this aesthetic.

Picture is the same image with static green light. Also you can see how shitty I am at photomanipulation in it.

Yeah, the graininess is due to WEBM compression, but the game is actually rendered with 2x zoom for pixelation effect (for now) and has a scanline overlay.

Thanks kind anons.

The design is actually celtic, lifted it off a drum in my house, want to include a bunch of Scottish stuff in my game because I never really see any fantasy games with stuff from my home.

The dude is actually meant to be a dwarf, I'm probably going to get rid of the horned helmet since people keep thinking he's a viking or that I'm making a yogcast game.

Crafting or 'smithing' I find a system like Path of exile's crafting or Firefall (pre-modules) crafting to be intreguing. But just "collect this BS to do this" is lame. If you want me to gather resources that's another thing. Terraria crafting isn't that bad. The tech tree doesn't appeal to me because it doesn't have enough depth to make it interesting. But its' a decent way of gating content.

FPS is fine but people tend to not really make them interesting. If you're influenced by stuff like ReflexFPS's CPM, overwatch or any level of faster movement you can do a lot more interesting stuff than with a typical run on the ground using your sprint button game.

Not with the features you've suggested. Probably.

At least make it LAN.

Everyone can make 3d models. What a stupid sentence.
Using 2d sprites in a 3d world might add aesthetic, but if your trying your hardest to make that 2d look 3d, then you apparently WANT the 3d aesthetic.

Just a place holder for now, still deciding on a font to use. It works well enough for the dialogue just now. The money will have a separate and bigger thing though, planning to copy Recettears display basically, want it big and obvious since money is important to progression in the game.

As long as that design is authentic to the world you are trying to craft, that's all that really matters.

I actually could tell he was a dwarf, but I was referring to the helmet horns (as you know) and how they are a iconic symbol of Hollywood vikings.

I plan to have the dwarves be fairly celtic and incorporate celtic knots and patterns into their architecture and clothes a fair bit so it should be fairly consistent. Only thing holding me back at the moment is my programmer art, learning to draw is hard.

And yeah the horns are the problem, I thought they looked cool at first but they stand out too much and draw attention to him possibly being a viking, they gotta go.

>>146880152
Well keep an eye out, I've got one ready to go but it's not mono-spaced so I'm having to adjust it to get in the game because of the way I did my dialogue engine, once it is I'll be using it.

Path of exiles crafting system isn't really crafting in the sense games like minecraft or MMO's use it.
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Crafting
It's augmenting items to make nearly workable items pretty decent items. It's a way of mitigating your poor luck by adding a small value to every item you find (effectively, though in PoE all currency/crafting types aren't available from selling bad gear).
I like that system for that game and I'd love to see it in other games. With most games you find that gold or whatever just loses its value. These currency items are relative to item levels and gain value as you level to some extent (because at lower levels you replace gear faster). So it makes stuff feel better.

Firefall is similar in some sense but there it's more about item customization. What I liked about it is that you weren't driven to farm some super exclusive resource like in certain MMO's to craft the good gear. You just needed tons of good materials, every resource type had a rarity assigned to it and you had to explore the region to find where the resources were (type, rarity changed all the time so players in teams could sweep the map and share loot and stuff. It was fun)
http://www.firefallthegame.com/news/rudikazootie-s-rudamentary-crafting-guide
This is basically it.
But they changed it for some reason. Community hated it in general.
If you're reading that and dont' want to read it all look at 'key stats' that's the core of the system really

>>146880505

Depends mostly on what you're trying to achieve.

If your game doesn't need many animations it's fine, but if you're trying to do something that requires more animations, drawing multiple times because "i can't model", is suicidal.

If you had posted progress on development and participated in the community for a couple of months before posting this it would have been okay. But we've never seen this before and you are just jewing out for cash, this is not about being triggered or not, it's about you spamming a community in which you have never participated before.

Also, the game looks like shit, the animations are choppy as fuck and the characters are extremely cringeworthy (from the sprites to the bios). It's like you took the characters from Darkstalkers and made gayer, cringier versions of them.

So yeah, fuck you.

How come a good-looking but shitty generic buggy platformer with nothing unique, bad level design and animations, that only has one level and was made by a group of junior students following an ue4 platformer tutorial and a blender decimate tutorial managed to get through greenlight?

>>146881267
Hello, hands.gif guy here.

The animations won't be done with frames but with grid deformation and tweening, which is an interesting way to achieve fluid, even lifelike animations. Odin Sphere, Muramasa and Dragon's Crown use both techniques for their unique look.

>>146881736
Anon is right. Navmesh generation is a bit of a time sink. Just like drop nodes and link into a path.

If you're using unity, I can give you some tips on building a path-dropper character controller that can save to a prefab while in play mode.

>>146882078
I'm not a non-programming pleb but I can tell you that you can't really use it without having a programmer mindset.

You need to be able to visualize a system. Be it just a flow graph of whatever you're implementing.

>>146880109
I'm setting it in the room settings, and scouring through all my code to find the culprit. The odd thing is, although the room_speed is clearly 200 (checked by printing the value), the FPS is capped at 60 for some bizarre reason.

>>146881736
I don't think navigation nodes are suitable for wide, procedural areas, bu I'll take a look.
I'll figure navmeshes out eventually, But not today.

This is really good stuff.
But it might solve your navmesh issues.
Frankly if you're having problems with navmeshes I suspect that maybe you have very poor visualization tools.

Go build that first.

>>146882483
Do you have terrain? Leverage your terrain as a path grid. Inspect cells with collisions and such to determine if cell is occupied by an obstruction.

Buildings and pathable meshes can be node or navmesh driven. Dedicate entrance nodes and link then to the closest terrain cell
