My name is not important. What is important is what I'm going to do... I just fuckin' hate AAA games. And the human nerds feasting on their 3D graphics. My whole life is just cold, bitter hatred. And I always wanted to make game. This is the time of development and no publisher is worth saving. And I will put in the grave as many as I can. It's time for me to dev. And it's time for me to get rich. My indie crusade begins here.

You will love my progress then. I made an program to convert my json animations to binary files, decreasing their size to 16% of the original. They will still take up 4KiB of disk space regardless because of file system blocks sizes though. Now it's a bit annoying to edit them since they're not plain text anymore and I have to convert them, but it's fine because they have cool magic numbers.

Why is framerate-dependent gameplay mostly a console thing?
Is there a reason it was so prevalent on early consoles in a way it wasn't on PC?

Obviously the issue sometimes gets brought over to PC games in the porting process, but mostly by Japanese developers who still seem to be caught up in that mindset.

Why do they do it?

>>147332585
Eventually they will be embeded in the executable

>>147332919
Because PCs are all different but consoles of the same type almost always have the same CPU RAM etc

>>147332771
About the ship, yeah I can see that. I wanted to make it painfully obvious that they're bad guys since there will also be civilian and police ships and if you shoot the wrong ones you'll be in troubles.

About bunny's fans, I plan to add another type of fan that uses the same model with some differences after finishing up their animations.

>>147332919
Consoles, especially early ones, have far more predictable performance.

Also,

>>147333057
But even if your game predictably drops performance in certain areas, yeah you can script things in that area based on that assumption, but it's still going to fuck with the gameplay when your jump height or whatever varies between places.

Like with the Dark Souls (2?) weapon degradation speed being based on framerate, even if the performance was perfectly predictable, your weapon is going to break at different speeds depending on where you are and how many enemies are about.

Was it initially necessary for performance reasons or something?

>>147333035
Mostly this.
If you make a game for PS3 you know it will run exactly the same on every fucking PS3 on the planet, since is basically the same hardware and mostly the same software for all of them.
If you make a PC game you have a huge amount of different hardware and software. From a guy with the last rig avaiable on the market to a poorfag on a shitty laptop runing it at 30 fps, and yeah there is always a guy doing that.

Even then, the guy using melee weapons has a different experience than the guy using FPS-tanking magic

>>147333585

>>147333403
I mentioned "predictable performance" because typically the games are programmed on the assumption that they will never drop below (or exceed) the target FPS during normal play.

The issue with DaS2 is that some things were framerate-independent while others were framerate-dependent due to oversight, and they STILL allowed the user to unlock the FPS on PC. Technically, yes, your weapon would degrade slower on consoles if the framerate ever dropped, but it's not nearly as noticeable as constant 2x degradation.

>Was it initially necessary for performance reasons or something?
No, it was just never even considered because there was never a need to run a game on different hardware except in the case of a port or localization.

Does anyone have access to the SlideNormalThief script for 3ds max? The download link seems to be broken.

>>147333628
If magic tanks FPS in the first place that's a big issue, doesn't matter if it's compounded by other problems related to framerate.

>>147333732
So you're just lying ok.

>>147333437
No, but I can see why some of the titles would make you think this. Some of the other games have other cultural references - though most have none at all.

If you post a cute anime girl (2D) in this thread, I'll use it in my game Needs to be not too high res, around 40-50px in height or so.

>>147333919
So where are you from (as in country)? Do you speak some Viet? Why did you use Điện for the title?

Sorry if these questions annoy you, I'm just curious.

>>147333628
And that difference can be fatal on some games. Hence why games like MKX worked perfectly on console, but failed horribly on PC, because the port is so awfull is almost a miracle to find another guy that can run it at a constant amount of fps to play with.

I'm seeing a lot of VNs on Steam.
I don't think it would be very hard to make a good one, but the limiting factor I guess is art cost.
Does anyone know the average VN cost for an artist? I was thinking, if I had 6 or so main characters, with 20 'sprites' each, that's 120 mugshot images (let's say $20 per image?). If I had like 10 major events per character, that's 60 CG. I imagine a full CG is like $100? So that's already 120*$20 and 60*$100 = $8400. If I pay $1000 for sound/music...I guess is $10k a sufficient budget for a VN? Am I under/overshooting it?

I'm wondering what the returns are. Supposing a good story is written, with characters that connect to the weird otaku that buy this shit off steam, with some good mini-games to pad the thing out... Does a good VN make $10k back? Does it make even $20k USD? Anyone know?

>>147334949
The hardest part of the portal gun is rendering the other side of the portal. It's like rendering a mirror - it's why you don't see too many games with functional mirrors.

>>147334071
It's not annoying. I'm from the US. I don't Vietnamese either.

I wanted to give that game a unique name. I didn't want something generic like "Power Grid." So, I looked to languages/cultures that I had some idea of.

To me, hearing the word "Điện" as an outsider to the language, I think it sort of sounds like the idea it evokes. To me, I think of bursts of charge moving through a wire - an idea that fits perfectly with my game.

>>147335017
That's pretty cool. Good luck with your game, mate.

>>147335017

The only issues are cutting holes in the level's collision geometry, the non-euclidean physics, and optimizing the rendering.

>$20 per image
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>147335249
Yeah, and the Portal team got hired by Valve for doing it.

Doing it to the standard of Portal probably isn't worth it if it's a throwaway mechanic.

>>147335327
what?

>>147335260
D* is similar to A* but is optimized for changing costs (i.e. changing/unknown terrain).

You can compute one path per formation, the difficult part is KEEPING formation.

>>147335376
For a simple face?
If it's really 1000, that must meant they're spending 66 hours on a single picture at $15 an hour.

>>147335260
Probably you need to store the group as a formation object and consider a group of units as one big unit then have some manager class dictate movement for each unit in the group. You could use A* or D* for the group object I think.

>>147335523
Depends how perceptive you are.

You'd have to manage duplicated physics objects which are on both sides of the portals, match up the perspectives of the player and portal camera (which would either need FoV trickery or to move around, matching the relative location of the player's camera to the other portals, presumably moving out of bounds while it does so but never clipping)

>>147335558
>>147335260
Doesn't A* get very slow for a fine grid like that used in RTS?

They must do something less naive - e.g. defining "points of interest" on the map, and treating the entire map like a graph with those "points of interest" as vertices?

I don't really know how they do it. All I know is that there isn't a single RTS game with truly good AI (except maybe DEFCON, but that has very simple, elegant mechanics); they all need to cheat to beat even a novice player. But, this is more of an issue of strategic AI, and not pathfinding AI.

>>147335886

Back in 2010, TIGSource did this competition:

https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=13392.0

Essentially, there is a community of Japanese artists who create imaginative cartridge designs / covers for fictional games on a fictional console. The exhibition is called "Famicase." For the TIGSource competition, the idea was to pick a cartridge from the exhibition, and make an actual game based entirely on the words and imagery/aesthetics on it (there was actually little else describing the fake cartridges - which was on purpose). Because of this, it gave devs a lot of freedom while providing grounded, yet often surreal, ideas. It was a very cool competition I entered it.

Looks like someone is reviving the idea in the form of a game jam. Cool.

Anyone know where I can find some decent male/female body references for 3D modeling? Something with a front/back/left/right perspective.

If a professional software dev doesn't have at least ONE jvm language they're willing to write, then what the FUCK?

>>147337671
Remember how NES covers/cartridges always had fantastic depictions of the characters/settings/art? The in-game graphics almost never looked like that.

Your game doesn't have to include the art/aesthetic ideas presented by the cartridge. A pure gameplay idea would also be more than acceptable - and you would still be doing the cartridge "justice." That's the idea - the jam seems very open-ended.

For sure, but you also have to learn the GUI, which IMO is a big overhead compared to working with a normal IDE that you like plus a lighter framework - whether that's IntelliJ+LibGDX or Visual Studio+Monogame

The GUI is about as self-explanatory as is possible, and as >>147339078

That less than every cell is carved/part of the maze.

I thought of simply disregarding some ends, or setting the state of random tiles to have been visited already (without every having been carved), but I'm not sure if either are the best solution.

I don't really know what could I teach, my best advice is to draw a lot, start by copyng images, and slowly start moving on to your own stuff, and always keep an eye on the body and face proportions, cute anime looking girls are tricky there.

>>147344502
It looks like you overdid it a little. But it's important to understand also that looking at it on a bright background will look much different than looking at it on a dark background or full screen. So if your game is made to run in full screen then that judgement needs to be made in the correct context.

>>147344690
I think the shittiest parts of my game right now are my items. I've got a bunch of items (most of them are power ups, some health pickups, and a few de-buffs) scattered randomly around my level. The player can either shoot them to activate them immediately, or pick them up and use them later from the inventory. When used, their effects last 10 seconds (except for the health pickups, they're instant).
The items all have their own sprites, but there's a slight chance of them randomly being replaced with a generic item sprite, so the player doesn't know what he's using/picking up. This was supposed to help with the de-buffs, because obviously the player wasn't going to willingly pick up a de-buff.
It doesn't sound too shitty when I write it out, but in the game it just doesn't feel right. I guess I could remove all the item's sprites, and instead use a generic treasure chest or something, then play a "good" or 'bad" sound effect depending on the item, sort of like Binding of Isaac.

copy images pixel by pixel? or just try to recreate it as best you can?

"You're the one asking to get your shit stuffed right now, and it takes very little effort to rek you by just stating known facts to you.

For instance the money you've earned after years of pretending to be a professional gamedev is less below poverty level. It's below African third world poverty level. You're objectively a failure at this.

But it's not about money, it's about having something you can claim you "do" that isn't collecting allowance money from your relatives and watching anime while avoiding getting a job and even making a small effort to be an adult in your 30s.

This is one of the primary reasons you don't comprehend or care about the necessity for fun in games, because you really don't care about making a fun or successful game. You just want to claim you're doing something besides sitting at home all day and avoiding real life or getting a job."

So far the game can run on a few predefined resolutions, the screenshot there is scaled x2 and you can set it to be scaled x3 too. Still have to work on a full screen mode without the graphics getting blurry or full of mixels, since GM is pretty shit for that.

For pixel art, recreate them.
To do that girl I first sketched her at a bigger size (pic related), then reduced that sketch to that size and started redrawing her on top of that. I changed a lot of stuff there too like her hair.

It doesn't matter. Half these faggots post on the wrong day anyway

I've been trying all day but I can't get my dude to jump the way he should at all.

Regular movement should be available while jumping and the shadow should stay in place and not jump with the player as it is currently doing.

Any advice? (Using gamemaker)

We Gundam dev now.

Well, what do you have so far?

If you want the shadow to stay the same, just keep its y value locked to the ground.

The movement stuff really depends on how you're handling input.
