reminder to take breaks and stay positive or the negativity will leak into your game. if that happens people will pick up on it and find your game negative and unfun. enthusiasm is infectious!

I'm making a game about controlling a mobile fortress, is there any gold standard for implementing multiple leg that utilize terrain colliders? 4 at least, perhaps more unless it's requires much more code.

thanks anon, what kind of card game are you planning on? I've been working on devising my own 2 player game - it's pretty hard to come up with a game that isn't completely luck based, but I am planning on three variants with different amounts of player input.

The best place to learn Unity is their website or do you guys know some better learning material?

>>147441009
oh man, i have a rounder game i want to make, but its pretty intimidating thinking of the fact that ill have to write all the different ai profiles

>>147441009
the game i'm trying to make currently is a variation of blackjack, where players trade cards to try and make 31 (all face cards being ten, aces 11)

i think i will create individual objects for the cards, when i start over with graphics - using arrays in game maker seems to be a great deal of bullshit and i haven't wrapped my head around enums/ds_maps yet

>>147441630
What's the point of your post?

Unity c# scripting is what you are learning, it's a language for all intents and purposes, that's why it has a scripting API and documentation.

I like the second one better for clarity, but it takes more space. My code usually fits the screen though, so that's not a problem, but I'd understand using the first in order to see more code at once.

>>147442081
Ideally I'd say gameplay-changing and special tech should be plot based (AND SCALE WITH THE LEVEL, PLEASE), whereas regular "higher damage output" tech should be acquired through level ups.

>>147442226
I really like Demo Day, but the name is quite misleading, since many games are far away from being actual demos, and they are rather games in beta, or even in alpha stage. So if you have a sprite which jumps around then you are good to go.

That's why I said Ruby.

You can create an API and then users can mod it with anything you want, text files, a UI you created or whatever.

Anon, maybe first learn programming yourself before trying to implement something like this?

i am not an expert coder but i am not novice either.

is there a list of cheap game engines that support ruby? so far i've only coded in C# on Unity.

How important is it that a game is moddable?

>>147444630
There is such a thing as minimum specs.
All the big companies are doing it.

>>147445052
You know how it goes: sometimes the fault lies in the question. Are you asking for something specific, like 'is the movement smooth enough?', or are your questions vague, like 'how do you like this and this?'?

Sound guy here again, this webm illustrate the issue: http://a.pomf.cat/dhqzwp.webm

Is there some good voice thing i can use to create voice overs for the text i stuff into it, without it sounding like some robot shit?

How can you even replicate this art style? It looks beautiful. I'm genuinely asking.

It depends entirely on the genre and how mods could improve the original experience.

They are basically making half of a model using previously made art by a good artist as texture, and then they animate it.

Making a shmup in GM and I can't decide how to tackle enemy spawning.

I could make each level one huge-ass room and hand-place enemy 'spawners' that spawn enemies when the player gets close then destroy themselves.

Or I could make a tiny room and a master 'Director' for each level that manages a fuckhuge switch statement that specifies what enemies to spawn, where and what they do.

What do? Each seems to have its own set of advantages and drawbacks.

Gamemaker seems fine... I think it gets a bad rap but it's actually pretty fucking good especially if you're making simpler games.

maybe it's correct maybe it isn't. I won't check because you're retarded to ask for it. You're literally talking about a field that's dominated by programmers and you can't think they'd be making themselves comfortable there?

>>147454153
planning too much kills games. You lose enthusiasm for your plans if you let them sit too long. That enthusiasm you have when you're writing the idea down dissipates after a few weeks or months. It's best to work aimlessly and scrap things that don't work.

you make the kind of game that pulls bits from everything you enjoy. then you keep a short to-do list and force yourself to work on whatever's at the top of that list.

I can't think of a single RTS that uses bottom right.

Although I prefer top right.

how much in game baneposting is too much?

>>147454153

I think planning is both an asset and a hinderance.

If you spend all this time actually trying to figure out how the game is going to function it makes building it systematic and modular. You just implement feature after feature in a fairly sterile way.

If you go "Lets try and make something" stuff usually grows organically. You can come up with concepts that may suit the game better or the game may become something else entirely.

Both are fine ways to proceed, and I think a mix of both is good. Start by making it, then occasionally stop and flesh out some ideas, then implement them works best for me.

>>147454703
My trick is to do microplanning.

You plan today what you gonna do tomorrow then start planning again once you've finished what you've planned.

I fixed the bugs with my bestiary. It used to go 0/7->1/6->2/5 instead of 1/7->2/7. So now it works. It also saves/loads kill progress now, which was an oversight I made a while ago with regular quests (all the other quests types like talking to people just keep track of whether you've done it - no additional details).

>>147454153
I have all ideas in my head. I note down general issues and solutions I come up with if I come up with them in isolation. Like, life leech, in video games it tends to suck ass, be op or simply be something the game requires you use so it's practically a normal defensive stat.

So I solved that. Noted it down and don't have a game where I can use it yet. Its saved though.
