So, nodev here.

Is there a program for making text games? I ask program not language, because I would rather jump into action than having to program things such as save system. I don't want to go professional, I just want to make something for fun.

Since I don't want to spam the thread with my notes of the games, here's the pastebin version, which I'll update and repost later:

I would like to say thank you for all the devs who participate in this event. It's a great thing that you are dedicating this much time and effort into bringing joy and fun to other people's lives. Keep up the good work! And for crying out loud, zip the game's folder and not the game's files.

Dungeon Break dev here.

Could you elaborate on:
>- For some reason, when I hit an enemy, I feel like my hit not always counts.

Do you mean there's just not enough feedback to make the hit feel satisfying, or the hits aren't actually connecting and doing damage?

Thanks in advance

>>147844367
travelers dev here, thank you for the feedback!

Ayy Torpedo senpai, you there? I've been playing your game and having a lot of fun with it. Some of the later levels are plain evil, and I don't think I'm finished yet... good job mate.

My only problem with your game so far is the fact that in some levels you're guaranteed to die the first time through since you can't tell what's coming next. Maybe add a (skippable) pan through the level when you first enter it so players know what to expect?

They're all just songs they had previously made that I chose to use in the demo because I felt they fit, they'll likely get replaced at some point.

Thanks for the rest of the comments!

Bunnydev here, thanks a lot for the feedback. glad you enjoyed the game.

I've gotten a lot of complaints about the controls. I got used to playing with one hand so they didn't feel weird to me but I realize most people prefer playing 2-handed so I'll def do something about them. I was using WASD at first, someone suggested QWER as more sensible so I changed them.
Same thing for Bunny's position. At first she was an overlay on the track but people said it was distracting and suggested I make a clear separation between the song and the rest like other rhythm games do.
I'll try some things and see how it looks.

Alright, I've downloaded every single DD9 game released by now except the games above 100MB (Project Wingman, Comfyville and Tier 1) and a single shitty whodev game.
I understand how Wingman and Comfyville can get over 100MB, but how the fuck did you manage to do that Tier1dev? Holy shit, it's a 2D space game, its size shouldn't be anywhere close to 200MB.

Gonna play every game and posts opinions of diverse sizes.

Good man.

>>147844367
MUTEKI dev. Thanks for checking my demo out. I'm glad to know nothing's gone horribly wrong yet.

In any event, I want to set some goals for myself before work starts and I have to keep minimizing Unity. I can see myself following one of two game plans:

>Plan A
Work on the UI, AI, camera and controls and make a survival-type game mode where you can have fun blowing up waves of enemies.

>Plan B
Spaceship welding. That is to say rendering/baking debris onto a ship sprite as opposed to just using a FixedJoint2D.

It's terrifying but I'm leaning towards B. I'll probably start dreaming in C# at some point and ask a waitress to get me a component in her parent.

>>147846159
easier isn't always faster or better

>>147844472
Well, maybe, but I know that /v/ people does not like walls of texts, and I didn't want to get bullied.

>>147844530
It's hard to explain. I see that it gets hit. It flashes, it makes a sound etc, yet I feel I've done nothing to them. Maybe the problem is that it's not clear how much I have to hit them, and because of this, even if they die, I feel powerless after all. But hey, maybe it's just me, and I've played so much Castlevania that I've got used to that enemies freeze for a small second when I hit them. I'm sure it's rather a game play thing (which is subjective) and not a bug.

>>147844671
The pleasure was mine! It reminded me of Counter Strike 2D, but, well, in 3D.

>>147844778
No problem.

>>147845118
Ah, that makes sense. I just wanted to make sure you know about this. You have a good taste, and that remix really fits your game.

>>147845149
Yes, I remember she was at top first. I don't know how much work would it be, but maybe adding a menu option for it? So the player can set where he wants to see her? Regarding the controls: I see no problem with simple WASD and one hand. If you get mixed feedback on this, maybe you should add this as a thing which the player can set. Like he could set which key to press for green, which for red etc..

>>147845846
I'm happy that I'm not writing it for myself, but like I've said earlier: it's me who needs to say thank you!

OK, now that I completed World 3 I have yet another complaint, this time about mines: you literally can't tell what their range is supposed to be. There were plenty of times when I got caught in the blast that I didn't I should've been, maybe you could add an expanding red circle or something to make their range clearer to the player?

>tfw you realize AGDG is over five years old now.

>>147848612
It's not very good, since lighter shaded objects generally means "background images". It may cause conflicts at future with your background objects. It, of course, depends on your plan. What's your master plan anon?

Fuck Unity! Why can't i run my game in Unity if there are errors in the code in scripts which are not even used in the fucking scene? I imported some shit asset from the asset store and it's full of errors and now i can't fucking run my game because some scripts in my projects contain errors. THEY ARE NOT EVEN USED IN THE FUCKING GAME! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE how do i fix this?

>>147849479
Make sure you have it set to nearest texture filtering.

>>147849106
When you run your game within Unity, it compiles all of the scripts in the project, regardless of whether you're using them. Just comment out the code that has errors in it, if you don't want to delete the unused scripts from the project.

so who uploaded pugs life?

>>147849479

How would one best handle branching dialogue?

One way to do it would be to let each character read their lines from a text file and then have a huge switch statement decide which lines to display, but there might be some other more efficient way,

Yeah, it took some time to figure it out, but I had to switch to the English keyboard layout to press the ; key. You see, it's not a default key on some keyboards.

And I can not express it enough, but you've really given some actual life to those squares. I hope it won't sound weird, but you've put my imagination in work, and I was totally immersed in the situation. It's another thing which is really hard to explain, but your work even in this unfinished state feels professional, and it gives the impression that it's made by an experienced developer.

>>147849515
How does your game handle turns?

>>147849697
for what reason

>>147849667
Undertale had a switch with 800 cases, you'll be fine

except if you're, you know, not a masochist

No.

Idol Comm@ander :
Game looks neat. Controls are just not good. this is one of those game i should be

using a controller or that dancing machine to play. gerneral 6. It is fun but gets hard

fast i just blame the controls.

Frogs Life:
Game is cool as fuck. Its StardewValley with better dialogs. And that make me wonder if

this dude is able to get to this point before demoday9 why tha fuck satardewvalleydev

took 5 fucking years to finish his game?. Anyway solid 9 to this game looking forward

to see it greenlit.

Ctesiphon:
Confy graphics, and nice controlls. thats all i can say. I dont like shooters but i

know they are hard to make it right. It would be fun as a free to play game to shoot

some friends online. its welldone, take a 7.


Jelly :
Reminds me of a game from genesis where you played as a dolphin. Eco i think it was called. Well in eco you atleast had this problem of gettign air or you would die. This game is just too easy. The art well done but i think the game is way to easy and gets boring after a while. i will give it a 6.

>>147850408
First thing, that was a lovely little song and I could totally see it in a game as like a town theme or something.

Secondly, fuck your fucking shit the song after that was so loud and horrible and I got blasted in my headphones because I wasn't expecting it.

>>147850408
Amazing piece of work. However I think it would fit a film better than a game.

Do you play it on the piano? Or did you 'just' fed the score to the machine?

>>147850614
lol are you just saying that cuz the image was from a ghibli film? I honestly cant tell
>>147850667
yeah. its made to loop so that would work. I was thinking of adding more instruments so maybe in the future.

>>147851072
XD dam i didn't think it was that loud
>>147851098
all of that is me playing. I recorded it in different parts because doing it all in one take perfectly would be hard.

I'm not sure I understand this. My game is an .exe, and it uses the .dlls from SDL2. Does that mean I still have to include this file with my game, since I'm including the .dll?

Can someone list all the block types for Battle City on the NES and what their qualities were - breakable, slow, stealth, only breakable with the gun powerup, etc.

Don't listen to it it's a horror.

>>147845797
but why

Frogs life game is good

The only game my archaic notebook could run was the dogfighting one. DESU, I didn't really know what I was doing. Somehow I made it through stage 1, but in stage 2 all I could manage to do was fly around mashing z and x until I died. Not exactly a newbie friendly demo.

Oh, and was the only plane I could hit really the one marked with a diamond? That's a mechanic really hard to handle when you're fighting againsts dozens of planes at the same time.

because im trying to recreate this hydrolic physics based movement system i made in gmod

forgive the arms, they weren't done at the time.

pure IK or partial IK wont give me the desired effect. i want to make a self contained system with as little external support for the character as possible.

there are some flaws with exanimas system and gang beasts system i'd like to try to my own take on.

>>147851294
>lol are you just saying that cuz the image was from a ghibli film? I honestly cant tell

How many did you try?

>>147852039
Maybe try Configurable joints instead and/or some custom force solution?

>>147851798
I'm gonna go back and do some proper level design this afternoon so hopefully the levels will be a bit more newbie-friendly. I was pretty rushed trying to have multiple levels

And yeah, the only plane you can hit is the one with the diamond. I've been trying to figure out the best way to do that; since the machine gun is an area-of-effect I thought it would be a bit overpowered if it could hit everything at once. I also originally had it so missiles could hit any enemy, not just the jet they were fired at, but when there are a lot of jets they almost never hit their original target since it's too crowded. I'm trying to find a better way to indicate the player's target so they don't get lost in big dogfights. I had a little arrow that would point toward the player's target but I broke that and forgot to add it back in. I'll definitely do that this afternoon

Maybe the solution is to just never have dogfights that big, or find a way to get everyone to spread out a bit more. Maybe increase jets' speed and decrease their maneuverability

Thanks for the feedback! It's also good to know that it's at least decently-optimized

to be honest i also have the same problem with the mines.

these circles you talked about are already in the game, but i don't have time now to upload a new version of the demo.

>>147853021
that was going to be my first step using apply force instead of contracting joints for now. there's just so little visual conveyance of how the joints are rigged i can't tell whats going on.

>>147853335
The only thing that annoyed me were the chests, having to stand in that very specific spot to open them felt counter-intuitive.

Anyways good job mate, this looks like it will be a fun game when it's complete.

>>147852826
I downloaded about 12, but they all bitched about graphic requirements. I figured it was an issue with my drivers, but I gave up after half an hour of reading and installing shit. I'll just leave it as a hardware problem, it wouldn't surprise me at all.

I'll eventually find a way try the Torpedo one and the Parkour one, tho, I was really hyped about those.

>>147853068
I just don't think it's a good idea to add another layer of complexity above chasing the enemy's tail and outmaneuvering the enemy. I see what you're saying with the machine gun, but I'd look for other alternatives. Maybe increasing the heat faster while shooting, narrowing the area of efffects, idk. Or keep it as it is now, but auto-target the closest plane who's in front of you.

Well, in the end you're the one who knows what you're aiming, I'm just a guy just played it for like 10 minutes, but those are my two cents. The arrow aim does sound a lot better, but... I don't know. Eh, good luck, man.

Are there any decent games actually made using SDL alone or is this the meme in which you are stack forever trying to create everything before you can actually create a game?

>>147853335

Talk to friend who is a programmer saying I want to be good at programming so I can make a game.

Two days later he gives me thousand page book called principles and practice in c++. He gave me another book by the same author that is a thousand pages today. Says he might give me a book called introduction to algorithms that is also a 1,000 pages.

I just want to make games, not read thousand page books.

He knows how to program as I've seen his github and he worked at google for a bit. But, he is a bit autistic.

Didn't listen to the rest. It needs proper production as the recording quality is crude enough to notice, and some other instruments would help. You're obviously talented at writing and playing.

Why should I bother to make my game compatible with linux if I don't have linux? like, I can't even test if it works.

Some people program.
Some people ideas.

All Lives Matter.

Don't, no one plays games on Linux.

>>147860950
Not that linux matters but you could use a VM to test.

I want the linux audience

>I want the linux audience
The time that it takes to set up linux, test, and compile could be spent improving your game for the people with OSes that actually matter.

Cool character movement.
Also stickl to the end. Whenever i take a few days break off programming i fail, always. Taking a break/slowing down is path to failure.
Add some background maybe. Or if you want to code first art later, add:
Enemies
Items
Ledge grabbing maybe
Parallax background with placeholders.
Some objects to interact with?
Don't give up anon, i believe in you.
