Now I just need to make a few dozen massive frames of animation and I really don't know how to even store them.

There's a decent chance he'll give me half a million at the same evaluation and lead our 10m round ( :

>knowing I'll have to do manual lookups and animation management instead of having nicely auto-animated spritesheets

>>147103306
It probably isn't. But my goal is to become a one-man vanillaware and that means massive sprites.

Okay, I give up. Any idea why this doesn't work? You can go up slopes just fine, but when you try to go down you end up airborne.

Anybody publicly hosting jam entries code (github, gitlab, etc)?

>>147103576

You don't have to do lookups. If the boss object has an array of its own frames you just loop through them.

If you have all of your sprites for everything in one giant static data structure, then you could still use an array because they have constant access time which is good for reading arbitrary elements quickly.

If you need to insert, remove, or delete, then an array isn't optimal because you have to use another array big enough for the old and new stuff. A linked list would be better in that case, but a linked list doesn't have fast access times for any given element you need to access

>>147103576
But they don't have a native 4k resolution on their games! you can make your game with a 256x224 resolution and if you use half of that in a boss that would be massive, and it'll look cool too.

I'm done with pixel art. It feels way too limiting. Freely drawing huge shit is fun.

>>147104096
Nice shitpost clone.

>>147103406
You had a nice beginning until you went off track with what I thought was gonna be a build-up to the main melody.
Your panning is also off center to the right until ~0:25. Takes way too long to get to the second part. Shorten it way down so it breaks out at ~0:40. And maybe try pitching it down or adding a variation instead of just repeating it.
not bad for a WIP.

>>147103427

>>147104453
Oh not particularly. I don't deal much with particles, although what I do know is the best results I've gotten with particles are when the edge colors of the particles are similar, so the particles can blend together. For example, a round smoke particle looks alot better without a black outline, because its able to blend into other particles, giving the illusion of one large cloud. Same goes for explosions and fire. That's about all I've got I'm afraid.

Thanks for the tips.You're right about the panning in the first half, I need to change that.

As for the second part; I agree that it should be expanded upon. It comes in at ~42 seconds, so I don't really have a problem with that though. If anything I'll probably end up extending the first part too, and pushing the transition back a bit.

Friendly reminder that if you can't execute your own ideas better than the competition, you don't deserve to call them your own.

Additional friendly reminder that if someone can permanently steal the wind from your game just by releasing a stolen version, your game probably sucks anyway.

>>147106210
is this Mount & Dark Messiah?

>>147105820
Are they really borrowed assets though?

If so, there's literally nothing to comment on.

>>147104116
But you can make that giant sprite half of the size and it's still going to look great, you don't really need to go that big.

>>147105820
The trees should have one more tone of shadow, they look kinda bland.

>>147105820
Your characters seem way too okay with the fact that Death is just hanging out under their tree

>>147105996
Also should probably edit the other VST that comes in at ~:28,
sounds a little too stock for my taste.

And I also forgot to say that at ~:58, when your first melody comes back in it needs to be either higher than your other one or have it twinkle across right-left. As they just sound awkwardly on-top of eachother.

>>147103204
Use sprite sheets and break each sheet into specific animations. Using arrays is pretty dumb and counter-intuitive.

>>147103576
Vanillaware still uses a mix of 3D, puppets, and traditional animation. Actual amount of unique frames, that aren't just moved with 3D or puppetry, is actually quite small. They are then baked into a sheet. They aren't the gospel of huge sprites, that's Skull Girls department.

>>147107179
blood drips off when you lose health

>>147107179
Perhaps when you get hit, each pixel of health lost "bleeds" off of the health bar? Essentially becomes a single-pixel particle that falls down off the HUD bar, stretching or dissolving in whatever way you think would resemble a droplet.

>>147107179
The bar's texture
Add pulse aura effect to it
Add fancy detail

>>147106210
You should label one of them 'Yesdev' and the other 'Nodev' (Doesn't matter which) and then pop an AGDG logo in the bottom corner.

>>147107179
I'd say it's very interesting already, nice work. Maybe give it some minimal animation or maybe a shatter effect on HP loss. The main problem with your game is every element seems to posses a similar shade, so details can often be lost in a samey blur with no contrast, but with your game in particular it's no so bad. I've seen worse.

>>147106958
Holy shit this is so much better

>>147107263

>>147106465
you seem to be an expert of sorts, so i'll go ahead and ask. where the heck do i learn how to make music? i know nothing about it, but i've already got a launchkey for ableton, if that helps.

>The bar's texture
Meant to say animate the bar's texture.

>>147107432
Custom (openGL+bullet physics)

>>147107179
The part that is subtracted on damage should flash white or explode outwards or drip down or something. Anything but shrinking.

>>147107179
The middle color of the mana bar dips below the bottom shade after the third throw

>>147107542
Cool beans, keep it up. I love seeing more 3d games here.

>>147107449
>Expert
Nope, just a hack who has been doing this for a long-ish time.

But the logical and less-painful answer is to study theory and know how to properly compose. There's plenty of sites for it.

The way I and many other new "internet producers" "learn" is to just listen to a shit ton of music, and slowly do everything by ear.

But learn Ableton, and then look at some sample projects. That's how I familizied myself with FL Studio and a Launchpad years ago.

Thanks, the arrow rotates because the player moved so i thought if it rotates with the player it will help the player notice the arrow even more until it despawns after 2 seconds or so at the start of every level.

I'm proud of the art now and Boku's redesign, and it only took 48 hours of straight negative feedback from /agdg railing on my stress for me to pound my keyboard each time to make the art better. You guys are the best.

one of these days they'll actually emulate smears and i will be disgusted, this trail effect is just mediocre and everyone who thinks it's a smear is cute.

>>147109963
it's literally a smear in 3D

>>147108672
I'm not sure on what texture to apply since its such a small bar, but what you could do is give it a "heartbeat"

Basically you have the bar fade between its current color and a slightly lighter/darker color either rhythmically or in a pattern, such as a heartbeat. Have it be slow and subtle when you're at full health, but when your health is low its faster and more intense. Could also make it temporarily speed up when you get hit.

Check out a good HD gameplay video of Resident Evil 4 and pay attention to the radial health bar, it has this same effect. Its super subtle, but interesting. Its a heartbeat rhythm in RE4.

C# with OpenGL for graphics.

The battle game state is mostly functional with only a few minor things missing such as equipment for units.

The Overworld game state has random encounters working, but not much else.

It can actually handle 2D sprites as well for units, but it's not been a major focus.

99% of the time they're not designed for PC, so they're either clunky or work awful. Just look up any mobile FPS ported to PC, and you'll see them adapt the touch screen controls directly to the mouse and game screen.

I always wonder why they don't give the example of the problem that particular concept was initially invented to solve

Even Carmack admitted to not giving a shit about math. The real aptitude you need is strong logic comprehension. This allows a person to create their own solutions in the event that calculations or asking google isn't enough. You can tell which gamedevs and programmers don't have this ability because they never do anything original or progress beyond the basics.

When you activate your special power you can fuse with any enemy on screen by touching them.
They will shot for you (from the direction where they touched you) but you will become slower.
They also serve as shields.
(This is actually neat, I'm stealing this.)

Note: when making and animating sprites make sure they have the same fucking proportions as the other directions of the sprite

Should I keep the bullets as circles, or should I change them to long, thin lines?

>learning some opengl bullshit with glew/etc for the sake of it since i don't have any game ideas to make

i've never really had to deal with oop/high-level abstraction before and i'm having trouble getting accustomed to working with it. I never really feel like I know exactly what I'm doing or that I fully understand what can be done. working in contexts and binding shit just feels really disconnected. I can't form a visual/geometric image of what exactly I'm doing like I can with most other things, which is the main way i understand things. Anyone have any resources that help with this side of understanding it?

>>can barely do multiplication in my head now
I can't do that either but I can do calc 1-3 ez

>>147116918
I'm just a shitty wannabe dev but i would say thin lines are better, because the hitbox will be more precise

>>147117046
It uses circle collisions, so as a circle, most of the collisions are very precise. I would lose a bit of precision by changing them to thin lines, which is really the only reason I'm hesitant.

You seem to be asking a couple questions and I'm not sure what any of them mean. I'll just make a wild guess and assume it'll help you somehow.

First of all, do you understand how the GPU pipeline works? Like, why you're drawing triangles instead of whatever else?

native console support probably won't come for a while, it's not really a focus. but hey it's open source so you can always do it yourself

>>147118958
You might need to talk to the devs about that. It has to do with consoles needing licenses to work with, so it's not easy to just have it public.
The devs and people who know the engine well are regularly on their IRC.

At coding, maybe a year. For OpenGL, a month or two. For OpenGL, the most important part is understanding the math and how variables are stored in memory. For the programming, it's being smart enough to write your code so it's flexible.

>>147118117
>>147117516

Yeah sorry if my question is badly worded. You can ignore the visual learning part for now. I mostly think I understand the pipeline, my big issue is that I just have this feeling that there's a lot of shit going on that I need to know, but don't. For example, binding points. I don't fully understand what I can and cannot do when I bind to some specific target, I just don't have a complete understanding of what I can or should be doing. If I didn't have some book/etc to read I'd never be able to figure this out or make anything that functions, but I don't get that feeling with anything else in programming. I always feel like I know my tools and their limitations.

This probably just comes from just how much shit I still have to learn though, so when I finally get through all of whatever I'm learning from I'll see the big picture and connect all these things that I don't fully understand yet. I think the initial jump into opengl is just such a steep learning curve that it's creating this problem and it's overwhelming.

writing itself takes imagination to make meaning out of events in sequence. weaving fiction through reality, takes imagination and skill.

neetdev is an attention-whore, more news at 11.

The point of making games is so other people play them.

You got to promote your games somewhere and reddit is probably a better promotional platform than 4chan agdg

One of the things I'm trying to do with Bokube is having objects obstructing some of the levels view to the camera.

So you have to rotate the camera into the right position to get a better angle.

okay strange question, but why is the mouse cursor in that tiny webm the exact same size as the mouse cursor on my 24 inch monitor?

also, does anyone else try to make your mouse cursor fuck the other mouse cursor when you're watching a tutorial or let's play? I can't help but pretend the mouse cursors are flies and it's mating time.

Bad Artist here, what do you guys think of my DJ Ghost / Blue Condom singing out of its head nipples?

On a off note, I just realized I have been lurking here for like 2 years but have only marginally improved since I started posting. I think I need to start actually working on a real project soon so I am more then just a idea guy making CK2 mods on the side.

>making games for free
why are you wasting your abilities?

>>147129551
Because it's LCD shit.
I truly hope he proves me wrong and actually develops it into a full game though.

boku stands out more now which is good, but your particles, color, and overall art direction still need a lot of work
>>147129396
on paper this sounds good, but it looks more like a dumb mistake you made in practice

>>147129587
It looks more like a jellyfish. Cute regardless.
