Alright, so, my project.

The idea is to create a visual novel/adventure hybrid with a horror theme. It'll have many puzzles and some minigames too.

It's a story about four soldiers and their prisioner lost in the middle of a haunted forest that covers a group of mountains that, for reasons unexplained, hosts thousands of bloodthirsty abominations. There's no hope left for survival but one: bringing the radio to the peak of the highest mountain and sending an SOS.

I'm using Unity and Fungus to build it and Photoshop to create the assets. The game's visual assets are being made with collage/photomanipulation since I can't draw for shit and artists are assy to work with.

Picture related was already posted, it's where it all begins.

I'll be posting some more stuff in a few minutes. I don't know about posting videos since it's not a very action-y game...

God I hate manually rigging models. Automatic weight never fucking works.

You'll be fine. Sounds like regular every day mixed senses in the desert of the real.

Your progress reminds me of Evangelion somehow. Looks really ominous and cool.

ALSO

Thrust balancing is finally demo day ready. It gives "perfect" control even with asymmetrical and unexpected thrust layouts like the one in the webm, which isn't possible with just-take-the-sign PID control. Keep in mind there's no drag or auto-brake so I still drift around a bit.

This is a sample of how the sprites look. I apply a series of filters that creates this hand-drawn painting effect. It's the way I found to hide edition marks and/or upscale the images I use.

Since I use open source imagery because I don't want copyrighted shenanigans, I resort to using lots of vintage photographs that aren't always in a decent resolution.

I'm pretty satisfied with the results tho I recognise the limitations.

>>147371558
It's Unreal and the spiders are from Infinity Blade (free assets from Epic). I actually don't like them too much because they're like... armored spiders instead of spooky spiders. But beggars can't be choosers.

I do have something like an ambient light but it's very subtle. I kinda gave up yesterday and just left everything as it was instead of trying to keep tweak it. Here's with the ambient doubled in intensity, which might be decent. There's probably a sweet spot somewhere. I want to add fog to the forest eventually which should also make it slightly less dark.

But still, I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to proper lighting. I need an artist dude to figure all this stuff out for me.

571KB, 800x430px

Finished programming a portal I don't have a model for it yet or art but its functional and allows you to get to higher tiles that you couldn't reach.

Took me like a month to finally figure this out, because desu boku's source code breaks the gameplay if he goes up at all, so iv been making stairs, ladders, and elevators for so long trying to figure out if the bug couldn't happen with some other solution.

Now finally it dawned on me that teleportation is the way so he is able to reach higher area's but still fall down.

Later in the game I plan on introducing a new puzzle cube that is the portal cube, and you have multiple ones to move your portals etc.

Also made the old toony rifle trap. The point of this trap is to trip the laser and the gun will fire so you have to block it with the cursor shield or dodge it. (Not sure if I will keep a colored laser pointer on it, or just leave it without one so the player will trip it while its invisible and get shot at).

>>147375765
I'd advise against penalizing the dodges and jumps.
It may feel more realistic, but in practice it's frustrating because real fatigue gives you feedback, this would feel random and frustrating.

Anyone have experience with xna/monogame? I'm sitting here trying to make a control for winforms so I can actually write an editor and I think I can feel my brain cells dying. Should I eat my own shit and switch to unity/gms or is it worth it to hold out and go through the initial grind so I can stay low-level and multi-platform without having to worry about engine limitations and including a ton of stuff I don't need?

I'm pretty good at programming but I'm not a pro and I feel like I can skip a lot of the low-level things and reinventing the wheel, but I've already committed myself to this and I'm not sure if I'm ready for the limitations of an engine. Pretty retarded but thoughts nonetheless?

How it works at the moment is that e.g. dodging costs 30 stamina. If you only have 20 you will still be able to dodge. Just not as far.

I fixed the problem where when I was checking attack/movement ranges, it was using the center of enemies. This was fine for the smaller spiders, but the giant spider would get right up in your face since the target distance was nearly the same size as his radius. So now it takes the radius into account, and they stand at a reasonable distance away.

Yeah I still need to clean it up a bit, I just wanted to get the gist of the pose down.

i am subtracting a number from another number in gm:s and its subtracting 1 every time even tho i'm trying to subtract 0.75 wtf

>>147379918
integers, man

>>147380037
yeah im well versed in all that stuff but since when does gml have types lol

I have this code:

if (Mix_Playing(4) == 0)
{
repeatable = false;
}


if (GetClickedOn() == true && repeatable == false)
{

if (Mix_Playing(4) == 0)
{
Mix_PlayChannel(4, mSound.mSound.get(), 0);
repeatable = true;
}
}

if (GetClickedOn() == true && Mix_Playing(4) == 1 && repeatable == true)
{
Mix_PlayChannel(5, mSound2.mSound.get(), 0);
}


What I want is that when you click on the player, the sound plays, but if the sound is already playing and you click on the player again, the sound for channel 5 plays, and can be spammed.

But my problem is that whenever sound on channel 4 plays, it instantly follows with the sound on channel 5 without it being clicked on

Welp, Big Jim is done.

I mean, he probably needs some retuning and his animations need polish, but he can be killed, which means his objective can be cleared and his Tier can be advanced through to Tier Infinite.

And that was my criterion for releasing a demo, so I'll do it.

I'll continue to polish his fight (particularly his stomp attack which I need to work on), the Magplate Stadium level design (I have a lot of targets to place), and add more particle effects, IK curves and training mode indicators to player animations and such until Friday, then I'll cook down a demo for demo day.

Pixels of varying size or rotation. It's something sadfags get upset about in the same way that gogem gets upset about smears. Things that players don't notice or care about.

>>147380523
Well, there's really no problem with that, shitposters will always shitpost and there's a lot of people who are legitimately envious of others, so they will fling shit in your direction.

It's all about wading through the shit and interacting only with the ones providing legit advice/discussion.

Then there's the fact that people tend to exaggerate their emotions in this board, so instead of saying, "x could doesn't look good because of y", they sometimes go with something like "x is shit and you should learn how to do y". This is perfectly fine because although the language is harsh, the advice is perfectly valid. Anyone who can't handle getting advice this way would probably be better off in any of the hundreds of hugbox forums for game dev

>mixels
>rixels
>not noticable
kek

>>147381249
I got you, anon.

Mixels = Mixed pIXELS, when pixel art is inconsistent because assets are scaled up/down, so the pixel scale isn't consistent across all assets. Some have 2x2 pixels, some have 3x3, some have 4x4

Rixels, as you might have guessed, = Rotated pIXELS, and refers to when pixel sprites are rotated using modern game engine tech rather than new pixel frames being drawn for these poses.

In both cases, the illusion that the art is actually fitted to a pixel grid is destroyed and it just looks like a modern flash-style 2D animation system with pixel art sprite sheets (I mean, that's what most modern pixel art games are, but you could at least pretend it wasn't).

>>147381416

This works in the event that agdg doesn't have active resident psychopaths which unfortunately hasn't always been the case. Those people will repost a dev's progress and impersonate them while starting arguments with other anons just out of spite. Doesn't seem to be much of that happening lately though which is cool.

Can you animate?

>>147381837
I didn't say I gave a fuck.

I said that's what it meant.

Frankly I don't care for pixel art anyway, I'd honestly rather see something like Ori or Castle Crashers, where the 2D art is just 2D art and isn't emulating the style of SNES games.

But I suppose I could see the case for "if you're gonna go for the SNES look, at least go for it."

Too sinusoidal? Like it rolls left and right rather than bouncing?

I've been thinking that lately, actually. I feel like the sinusoidal shake is good for basic hits because it feels more "musical" (it seems to thump like a drum) but for explosions it's not really cacophonous enough.

Actually I "only" have a 760 and 8GB of RAM, the machine isn't ultra top of the line.

The thing is, I have a beast of a CPU (I7) for audio work and the game is very frequently CPU bound. Which is part of the reason I'm hoping nativization squeezes some frames out. Even people with killer gaming machines rarely go above an I5.

You were also being a wally with some of your shit. If you remember, I was the anon posting the profiling graphs.

Did you sort out the laser collision(?) updating or whatever it was.

>>147384014
I went to school for audio engineering, music is my original passion. I have a DAW to shame yours, basically. Some people spent thousands on Les Pauls, I can run 15 simultaneous Reaktor instances at 6ms ASIO latency.

Which is to say, my CPU needs are well in excess of typical game CPU needs. The only machines that have need of an I7 are CAD workstations and audio stations.

>>147383016
Is Unicron your first Fundam?

>>147384275
Yeah, I made some pretty substantial changes to collision on those damn traps. Actually I'm gonna switch the big sweeping lasers with the newly-designed projectile launching traps which will make the collision better.

I'm also still running "Ticking Zones" to minimize the number of ticking actors, and my changes to hurtbox detection and Target HP work have greatly reduced the tick cost on damage-taking entities.

But still that CPU hit is real and deep as a motherfucker. It's the Recast navmesh constantly updating, the number of AI-running actors, and probably to a lesser extend the BP interop latency (this is worst on the player character).

>>147384495
I'd hope not, Unicorn is possibly the worst place to start since UC-universe stuff is pretty thoroughly complicated and needs lots of context.

0080 is still best Gundam

I know nothing about Gundam and I've been meaning to get into it for quite a while now. I even have some of them downloaded already, but I never touched them.

The thing is that there's way too many shit about it and I, being the autistic Lorefag that I am, feel afraid that I may look into a series that is a continuation/prequel/another dimension of another season. I've read about it online, but I hardly ever give a fuck for the amount of time it takes me to make a list of the things to watch.

So, being a complete newbie to Gundam, where should I start?

Yo fags, I want to start making some, most probably, shit games but whatever. I'm kind of tired of working with engines, as much as I love them because it makes life easier, I want to learn to make game from scratch, I'm currently learning Java Programming, will start taking some classes for introductory to intermediate level of programming, until then I'll devour as much information I can about java programming from youfuck and stackoverflow.

Is everyone making games in engines, is it a good idea to like make gaem from scratch or making your own engine?

What programming language do you feel/think is best for vidya?

What's the purpose of these 48 hours demos? Doesn't that limit the overall game quality/content?

And, one last question since I'm new here.

Are all demos posted open-source (as in, possible to read the code or edit them in *insert engine here* to see how they were made?

Thanks and fuck you.

sorry for the shitty video framerate, i haven't messed with a lot of screen recorders, so i just used vlc for this. it's just going to be a short little 3d maze game. but i'll be damned if it's not going to be the most beautiful maze game you will ever see.

there's going to be six levels, with a theme change every 2 levels
all of them have already been modeled, i just need to work on their textures as well as enemies, door keys, traps, and maybe some other stuff. there's a tiny bit of the first (unfinished) level in the video

at the end of the video is the final boss. i just need to finish sculpting then move onto retopology and bake the detail into a normal map.

also, the whole thing is made in blender game engine, which tells you how much of a thing this game isn't going to be. like i said, babby's first game.

>What's the purpose of these 48 hours demos?

working under constraints is an excellent way to foster creativity, this isn't limited to gamedev

the demo day you're talking about is just an imaginary deadline though

>>147386557
>Is everyone making games in engines ...
Most people are probably using engines, but despite the shitposting, I don't think it's a waste of time to learn how to program shit yourself. Sure, your game might end up simpler, but you might be able to still do unique things regardless of whether you used an engine or not.

>What programming language do you feel/think is best for vidya?
C / C++ / C#

>What's the purpose of these 48 hours demos? Doesn't that limit the overall game quality/content?
To actually produce games. It encourages people to actually finish stuff, instead of letting ideas brew and end up nowhere. Quality can vary - but often, short, to-the-point games come out of stuff like this.

>Are all demos posted open-source
Posted where? Yes, in general, if something accompanies a tutorial, it will be open-source, but you have to be more specific.

I don't usually answer these bottom

>>147386492
The only series which are connected are generally stuff in the UC universe. If you want a really interesting start that's sadly pretty much the single best thing in the Gundam franchise, 0080 is amazing. You need pretty much no information about Gundam to get into it, it takes place at just about the beginning of the main timeline and it has a really concise and well-done message. If you like some cool battle scenes and a really really bad love plot, 08th MS Team is very entertaining and watching the original 0079 movies can be worth it if you want to get a feel for the very start of things.
Generally, I'd suggest watching stuff as it was produced due to the fact that a lot of it builds off ideas in previous series (0083, despite taking place before Zeta in the time line, sets things up that you'd already know about if you watched Zeta).

>>147386557
>is everyone using an engine
generally yeah, even if you're from scratch not having some underlying engine makes it very hard to progress past the pong stage

>language for vidya
anything object oriented works fine for vidya, Java is good

>48 hour "demos"
if you're referring to 48 hour game jams, which I think you are, then they are mainly a good way to go through the entire game making process in a short amount of time. It does limit the content, but quality can be achieved through having a tight scope and being disciplined - both things that game jams teach which are useful for regular gamedev

>open source
most jams require code to be open source, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll just be able to open the game in whatever engine as assets might still be missing

fuck you too

I'd say start at the original Mobile Suit Gundam. The art and animation is a bit dated, but it really is the best starting point.

Alternatively, you could start with an AU. The AUs generally do not span multiple shows, but i think they are worse overall.

Have fun, anon.

>>147386492
New gundams are all self-contained (except unicorn). So just pick one of those, like 00. For introduction to UC watch the 0079 movies.

>>147386557
You're using an engine but haven't learned introductory programming? Engines aren't a way to skip programming, rather a way to make development fast enough to finish a respectable game in one lifetime.

is Notch the be-all, end-all of indie success stories?

>>147387136
Makes sense.

>>147387154
Meant to say posted in like the Demo Day 9 and stuff like that.

>>147387264
Thank you for replying.
You, I like.

>>147387421
The only programming language I know is Python and no engine uses python programming as far as I know so yeah I mostly just fucked around with engine tools and assets to become familiar with them, making simple shit like art, movement, etc. limited to the engine without programming.
I never learned proper programming and made something useful with python for example, I'm mostly an artist but now I want to expand my knowledge into this area of game making as well.

tl;dr Yes I'm a retard.

Alright, at long last, your character has gained the ability to bend his knees and crouch. I also made the crab enemies a bit larger so that it was possible to hit them while crouching!

My clases have a lot of void functions is this bad?

>>147386951
i'm only using it to try and make something before the year is out. once i've made at least one thing, then i'll actually learn the shit i should have learned a long time ago.

Why should I use C++? Isn't it massively outdated?

It's still getting updates

Not necessarily.

not as outdated as machine code lolz

>Crouched pewpew
Fucking finally, now you have a game.

>>147387872
it's massively bloated

>>147387583
No, I'd put that more with Pixel.

>>147388091
It's now a bloated, stitched together abomination of a language. Exceptions in particular just don't play nice with the rest of the language, period.

>Framebuffer renders fine using GL_REPEAT for texture wrap
>Framebuffer doesn't render right using GL_CLAMP_EDGE
I don't even know what I'm doing wrong anymore. It's probably a big "no" to just change to GL_REPEAT when I want render the framebuffer, isn't it?

Minecraft is the most successful PC game of all time, and close to the most successful game on any system period. Notch is a billionaire.
>w-wah wah he shilled to M$!!
Anyone who whines about that is retarded as fuck. There aren't many people that will turn down 2.5 billion dollars.

>>147387790
Wait until you see the end of the game.

I can't imagine there's one person who would

>>147388535
Yeah, but he still has way more money than any other indie dev.
