Added little middle eastern guys on flying carpets.

They’ll either remove 5 or so bricks from a segment of wall or just fly right above your lower walls unless you hit them with a brick before.

Towards the end of the video you can see the indicator of the country’s debt racked up by the other country for the construction of the wall. If you shoot it or build a wall high enough above it, it will break. The higher the amount of money shown, the more the text shakes every time it grows. Also, the bible pickup gives you double brick shooting abilities for a while, the steak will give you triple-shot which is pretty sweet. I might change the bible though.

>>147212875
How about molebox then

>>147212963
Looks good, but I also think there should be more of an indicator that you're hitting them. For example, if they flashed red a little upon impact or if there's an accompanying sound.

This looks really good and I'm beginning to see the polish in it. I'm personally not a fan of the tiled background, but that could be an artistic thing that doesn't agree with me than a legitimate criticism. I still think it could use a duck/crouch state when you press down so that you can target lower enemies better, but it looks good so far! Proud for you.

>>147214051
If not crawling, rolling could be a thing. Plus it would make for some interesting level design and looks like it'd fit the character better.

>terrible bait
>You got me to comment though, so there's that.

But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
Basically senpai, gamemaker is a nice little engine for 2d and prototyping, but anything challenging more than what the engine can do is just not plausible.

So yeah, you can upgrade and use Unity or Unreal, both powerful and have pretty neat features, but more difficult than GM so it scares away new devs, plus they have some limitations.

Assuming you're using one of these, a well made game can easily take 1-2 years (art, music, code, etc.. these things add up), possibly longer, especially if you're building from scratch.

And to hit your last question, asking for money allows devs to quit or delay day jobs so they can focus on making a game that the donators want to see, simple as that. Plus, more money == bigger team and all around better game quality.

500k is pretty fucking high though, who is asking for that much?

>>147219262
haha cool, i'm pretty sure I used the same concept art while learning blender!

>>147219803
I'm currently thinking about whether the following would be fairly manageable or a fucking nightmare for a programmer.

You know how in some RPGs there's button-prompted action commands to defend against enemy attacks? Well in all those games, the enemies attack one at a time, with a set speed. I wanted to make an RPG that further developed the action command gameplay by having all of the enemies attack at once, not simultaneously, but to where you have push your buttons like AA A AAA instead of pressing A as one enemy approaches, attacks, retreats, and then the next enemy comes. Does that make sense? Now, on top of that, so it wouldn't feel like a shitty rhythm game, I wanted the timing of the enemies beginning their attack to be elastic within a certain range. So sometimes three enemies could take off like 1, 2, 3, other times it might be 1-2, 3 or 1, 2-3. There would have to be some kind of parameter set for the timing of that takeoff. It can't be too fast that the player can't press the buttons to block each individual attack (no more than eight times per second), but it can't be so slow that the challenge is lost. Considering there could be up to ten enemies within an area you roam around, and that any one of those ten could be together with other enemies in a battle, I'm assuming that means you'd have to write code the parameter for enemy takeoff time with respect to each enemies' own speed and attack pattern, so that both of the above conditions are satisfied.

Just talking about it on that basic a level makes it sound exhausting, which makes me worry because the combat system is supposed to be the absolute core of what I want this game's identity to be.

It sounds like an absolute headache and it makes me concerned that even if I had money save up for a programmer to come on board, they'd turn it down over the unconventional challenge from a genre that's otherwise one of the easiest to program for (so I've heard).

What causes this? https://youtu.be/_NGEnc8umPo?t=3m44s
My assumption/theory is that the game made a reference call to update the position of the NPC, but found it was occupied (by the PC) and checked the last known position of the NPC (all the way down the hallway)
Since it was clear, the game updated his position to that spot.
Of course I've never actually programmed a game in my life, how wrong am I/what's the real answer?

Every single time you post progress people say this to you, and while I understand you've maybe got some creative vision in mind and want to stick to it I'd appreciate if at the very least you could cut to the chase and just say you're doing it because you either A) are a furry yourself and you like this or B) are pandering to furry audiences for the sake of money.

yes it does, professionals design textures sizes based on a target resolution, given a desired viewing distance and resolution you can find the matching texel density to get a 1:1 texel to pixel mapping at that distance and save memory

windwaker used rim lighting from whichever light was closer. and animated the lighting source from one to another to make it smooth.

>>147229163
thank you for the tip, I'll try firing up ww now to check how ww does it; Vagrant is the only one I know that uses render doubling to get a fake rim light, it's the only technique I can find that works well with very low poly models

Do you think these track platforms in Mario 3 are really programmed to follow the black line or do you think they were meticulously scripted to "move in direction for x amount of frames, then move in another direction for x amount of frames" and so forth until the end of the path?

You're a bancho (head delinquent) in a cyberpunk dystopia where a head bancho is trying to unify all the prefecture's delinquents so you gotta go from prefecture to prefecture and take out the head. It's inspired by older delinquent manga like Crows and Worst as well as the movie based on the series, Crows Zero.

Oh jeez I forgot to answer what it's made in. It's made in Unity, but the animation system is custom, and so is a bunch of other stuff, including simple physics and a simple input manager to allow for multiple players.

This is all gonna be ported over to a custom engine cause it's a school project, and making most of the stuff myself will give me an easier time in porting it over. Also, it's a platformer so a lot of stuff needs to be precise anyway, so it's killing two birds with one stone.

God. I just want to say that I have a newfound respect for coders after trying to learn. Like I have the logic behind everything down. I understand how things should be organized, but actually doing it is some kind of fucking magic to me. It all makes sense until I have to use computer language.

So... in old pixel games with locked framerates, even if they use acceleration, the first frame you start moving the your speed bumps up to 1 pixel/frame, right? Otherwise, if your acceleration is less than 1 px/frame^2, you don't move at all in the first frame, and it feels clunky. Which becomes a problem when you introduce delta times.

Alright engine dev, are you familiar with the unity lighting tab? What can I do here to improve visual quality?
