/agdg/ - Amateur Game Demos General

Should I use Ue4 or Unity?

Isn't it cheaper to simply use transparent textures instead of tris?

Demo Day 9 is in less than 6 days.

40 games will be featured.

Why aren't YOU participating?

Is gamemaker drag n drop usable for anything but simple platformers? How complex of a game could one make using it? Or is it just a gimmick

>>147289782
I dont have a game

Can't you just make the 12 tris fatter so they cover more ground?

12 is the only one without heavy aliasing.

Why is programming such fucking bullshit?

>Instruct the cube spin in 90degree increments on the Z Axis each time the script is called
>NOT ACTUALLY SPINNING AT 90 DEGREES WHEN RUN

There are four frames of animation. It's a 3D cube that you look forward at in a 2D perspective and each side of the cube has a different frame. As it spins in 90degree increments, you're supposed to see a different frame, but it isn't working as intended here.

>>147290675
>First person fantasy RPG with billboarded sprites for creatures.
Nice, I wanted to make something like this but I'm terrible with graphics, I'll just go with the regular top down rpg approach.

>>147290764

#pragma strict

public var speed : float = 10f;


function Update ()
{
transform.Rotate(Vector3.right, speed * Time.deltaTime);
}

Try that, its a script I made to make it turn.

>>147290764
>Why is programming such fucking bullshit?
You're dumb

>>147290327
I sent it to a non-dev friend:
>is this on a beach
>or something
>bottom one has too much grass
>even
>but the ground looks like sand

>>147291291
what is he trying to say?

>>147289712
ue4

>>147290853
Oh, I am too.

Going to try to aim more for artistic cohesion more then artistic excellence, hope I can at least get it to the point where the graphics are at least not detrimental to the player.

>>147290764
step 1: the machine is always right
step 2: if unexpected things are happening, examine your assumptions

anyone else dropped devving and focus entirely on programming or art?

>>147290764
i don't know much about programming, but it looks to me like you are telling the cube to rotate on the z axis at a speed of 90

if i had to guess, i'd say instead of applying rotating, set it's rotation to be current rotation + 90?

>>147291447
thanks

>>147291519
I dropped devving and focus entirely on shitposting.

>>147290327
You could weight it so theres more grass closer to you and sparser farther away

Actually there are probably huge amounts of resources on this, why listen to amateur opinions

>>147290764
>It's a 3D cube that you look forward at in a 2D perspective and each side of the cube has a different frame. As it spins in 90degree increments, you're supposed to see a different frame

>>147290327
Nigga, just paint the ground green.
Slap some grass texture on it if needed.

>>147291519
I'm still developing a small project on the side with a couple other people for the hell of it, but in terms of actual projects I've put everything on hold to try and figure out how to actually draw since I've always wanted to in the first place, and I'd like to be able to make my own assets for shit.

So far it's not going great.

>>147290764
>90 degrees
>4 frames
are you actually retarded this is exactly whats supposed to happen

>>147290764
Maybe its not facing the camera exactly
I'd print out its rotation value every frame an ensure its not 'off', also ensure your camera is positioned properly

but really, don't do a hack solution like that

>>147289827
you could make a whole lot of games using just the drag and drop but it's actually shittier and more unintuitive than the language

GML isn't that hard, learning dragon drop would be the same thing abstracted

I got it to work, but I used logic nodes instead of fagass python scripting since they actually work as intended. Guess what? Applying a 90degree Z rotation with nodes actually fucking works while the same command in Python doesn't.

I gotta screw around with the camera now. I need to figure out how to get a completely straight on view of the environment at all times so you can't see the side frames of a 3D object when it isn't centered on the screen.

How many tiles could I shit out in a 2000x2000 room in GM:S before I run into issues? Would deactivating instances outside of screen make this a non issue?

>>147292548
You can have infinite tiles as long as there's enough ram, all you do is only draw the ones on screen

Yes, 4chanX has recursive post hiding. I keep suggesting to 4chan they implement this in the built in extension because it seems like a very basic feature to me but they never do

What was limbo made on? Did they made their own game engine or did they use an existing one?

This one will wait until you swim above it and then jump up to snap at you. I think if I do keep any talking mechanics (which now seems rather unlikely) it would only be fellow jellyfish that do it.

Interesting observation.

The new mesh is reduced to 8 tris but is is larger and has more grass straws per mesh in the material.

This actually reduces the performance with 7 fps, showing once again that triangles are not the problem.

>>147293551
That crab is very cute but he doesn't fit in with the rest, namely his small pupils (this isn't as big of a deal as the next) and the fact this one has outlines and the others don't

What should I use for vector art? Is Inkscape alright?

What the hell happened? the last thread died, but half of the posts here were in the previous one.

>>147292936
Not much to talk about right now, just some really early prototyping.

I am going to have to try my hardest to make melee combat fun from a first person perspective though, I don't want to resort to it just pulling a Hexen where the player uses a magic wand like a gun.


>Melee range is buffed significantly to almost Halo Shotgun range if you are using a 2 handed weapon, having a large arc like in Strider on the Genesis.

>Attacks are overall much quicker then in games like Mount and Blade, avoiding damage will be done through a very short windowed counter or a block.

>Short range weapons like Daggers compensate for their range by being able to break a opponents block with a lot of very quick attacks and having a very short counter timer.

>Dark Messiah of Magic's Kick and Crysis's Grab n' Throw

>Magic is less focused on magic missle and more fun stuff. Can summon lots of skeletons, become a skeleton or transform your enemy into skeletons etc.

Can someone write a 1 sentence description of what a "stat" is?

>>147293071
They made their own engine. Their newer game, Inside, was made in Unity because the Limbo engine was only capable of doing monochromatic colors and they thought it was also just way more work than it was worth.

>>147294403
yes you fucking retard, overdraw is the bottleneck on alpha tested materials

>>147295682
Your character's attributes.

>>147295682
a measure of how strong you are in a certain discipline

I guess this doesn't cover when you have stats like "Luck"

>>147294403
>>147295783

at that scale just model the grass blades outright and don't waste perf on alpha, it'll be a lot cheaper

alpha is only cheaper when the amount of pixels to be tested are less than the amount of verts you would have with a full mesh. Such as in very dense, realistic or distant grass

A stat is the amount a character has of a particular ability.

5 units of strength
4 units of defense
6 units of luck
etc.

been making progress on my android arcade rocket game thing. I'm at the point where it is time to consider easy/hard mode.

My current philosophy is this: Most mobile gamers want a game to be pretty simple and easy, while the gamers that may want a challenge would want a real challenge. Thus my first iteration of this is that easymode is simple enough that your farmland playing sister could play it, and hardmode is dark souls level unforgiving.

Easymode: Regenerates health, basically unlimited ammo, enemies slower and don't shoot as much.

Hardmode: No regenerating health ( Have to pickup health packs ), limited ammo so you have to get pickups, enemies smoke crack and be chargin their lazers.


Amidoingthisrite? Would anyone really care about a medium mode?

>project tundra

>chateau quest
>vine actually doing something

Ah, that was my shit pham. RIP in piece.

>>147296684
what software did you use for this?

>>147299959
I'd say keep 2 difficulties, since you actually have good concepts for each. Also, difficulty differences in most games are generally artificial and pretty superficial to gameplay, so simpler is better.

imo tempting them into hard mode constantly with rewards would be great.

Should I give up and just make a gamemaker side scroller?

The mobile market has no idea that game exists

>>147300657

The game is a basic arcade style system where you go for highscore. Hardmode gives more points.

I plan on making it so people can post their highscores to social media ( yes I know cancer, but normies like that kind of thing and hey it's free advertising ) and the only way to get something truly impressive is to play Hardmode without dying once and without using stage select. Basically hardcore NES difficulty in exchange for bragging rights.

It's shorthand for a word in Finnish that means "regards". It's like you're signing a letter with your own name.

Many retards on 4chan use it to make it out like they're calling YOU that thing, though.

It's surface copied from what the game surface is drawing then drawn over top of the game surface at run time resized by the zoom. the paste bin link shows everything there is to it. surface_resize is the only way to resize a surface that I know of and I can only shit out a width and height to it.

What's the width/height of your window? What does zoom equal?

You'll probably run into problems if your window size is weird (like not a typical resolution that's divisible by 2). Same if your zoom level is weird (although I assume you're just using 2).

If all else fails, here's how I do it in my GM game for a 2x zoom:

### game start / init

application_surface_draw_enable(false);
global.appSurfaceWidth = window_get_width()/2;
global.appSurfaceHeight = window_get_height()/2;
surface_resize(application_surface, global.appSurfaceWidth, global.appSurfaceHeight);

### draw GUI end in a global persistent object

draw_enable_alphablend(false);
draw_surface_ext(application_surface, 0, 0, 2, 2, 0, c_white, 1);
draw_enable_alphablend(true);

--

Maybe your problem is how the application surface is being scaled before it's drawn to the screen?
