Why? Do you hang out in /fit/ and tell everyone that it's okay to be fat and weak?

>>147878025

>Crouch
It shall be so

>Difficult to dodge
This is actually something that's been bothering me so far. The enemy AI is really rudimentary at the moment. When they see you they just shoot constantly in a set random cone. I have some ideas to make them more predictable so it won't stay this way for release.

>Multiplayer
I know, god I know. I really want it to have split-screen like Perfect Dark or Goldeneye but it will have to wait until I'm completely done with the singleplayer as that's the focus.

>>147881252
>Why? Do you hang out in /fit/ and tell everyone that it's okay to be fat and weak?
You now realize every board/general/community/whatever has people like this, quite a lot of them in fact.

There's a WASD control option and Xbox controller support (recommended obviously).

Esc opening menu is standard for all games.

And yeah you can remap the controls.

Lots of "different feeling" stuff is planned and in the works.

>>147880452
>>147880761
Thanks for all the thoughtful feedback though. I agree with a lot of it, and many things are still early/rough so look forward to future progress. :)

>>147881312
Awesome, sounds cool.

Maybe for the enemies, you could make it so they shoot at a certain point, that follows the player's coordinates, but somewhat lags behind by a second or so? So if you're standing still, they'll shred you, but if you're sprinting around, you can generally stay out of their line of fire?

Just an idea. I can't into3D so that might not be the right move.

Well the strange thing is that you won't find anyone on /fit/ making arguments that it's okay to be fat and weak.

But you'll find more than a handful of people in agdg or even steamchat who think it's okay to hang out with gamedevs as if they are a gamedev themselves when they're not.

I know that deep inside they know it's pathetic and are just trying to justify it, but why even try to justify it? Where does that need come from? Fat and weak people in /fit/ don't spend time trying to justify it.

If you want to be a shitposting nodev, just do it. It's when you make excuses for it that the shame is obvious.

FEEDBACK #2
- You've done well to present the immensity of space
- The back button on the options screen is a bit hard to notice
- Page Up/Page Down should move the zoom level in pre-defined increments - right now they seem to be "hold down to instantly zoom out to ant-size / ship-covers-the-whole-screen size"
- I think targeting a ship should highlight the ship
- The space background could use some work (understandable for a demo, but I think this will be very important as you continue making the game... a really nice dynamic background would really make the atmosphere)
- In the tutorial, I locked onto the nomad, rammed it to death (didn't realise you had to do that... I was looking for a shoot button) and then tried locking onto the farm ship but only 4 coloured empty boxes appeared at the top instead of the previous list of ships
- That 'boink' sound when ships are destroyed.......
- Flying a small fast ship is really fun
- I like the big "laser lines in space" thing in huge combat zones, reminds me of Legend of the Galactic Heroes

I do like Pulstar and Blazing Star quite a bit though.

Played the wingman game, really amazing work for one person. My only gripe is that the green indicators for enemies was confusing and the boxes were hard to see. Please just make enemies red and friendlies green and make the boxes much more distinctive (darker color and bolder). I'm not sure about all the keyboard controls, so maybe these already exist, but a "target enemy under reticle" and "target closest enemy" would be useful.

Why do they come here and force their way into our demo day? I looked up the game and it already has a decent following on tumblr and elsewhere. Why take attention away from the poor devs here who post progress regularly?

They're the 2nd most popular game now (if itch.io's sorting really is by popularity as it seems to be). Only the idol one is beating it.

FEEDBACK #4
...I've also already given you feedback, sorry. I was the one in steam chat who gave you live feedback.

>>147878469
Thanks for the feedback anon, and you're spot on with all of what you mentioned with a few exceptions of things I didn't know were a thing. To answer some of your issues though (these aren't excuses I mention I'll fix them, just explaining the current mechanics):

>The light isn't coming correctly out of either the red and the green lantern.

I hate those things. Yeah. Sorry about that.

>The Dark levels are completely unfair without a lantern, it's just poking around without any hint of what the level looks like.

This is fair, originally there was no yellow light and my friends that playtested it suggested making it easier, should I make the background a darker shade of grey instead of the same color as the walls?

>The hurtable, red lights are so subtle I had to die half a dozen times to notice what was going on.

I've been having trouble conveying those being bad. Maybe just an image showing that it's bad or a dog running into it in a level before?

>The tutorial level with the fireflies is terribly hard to understand what to do since the button only works randomly.

If it's the chase level, the button is a Kaizo mario button, it creates a block making the level unbeatable. Skip it and jump on the green fairy coming in from the right to get the height needed but like I'll say in a second, I'll make this a fixed value

>The green dots that make you jump higher have completely arbitrary values of how high they will send you.

Green light height is dependent on how long you've been in contact with it, coming from bellow will send you higher than coming from above, but since you think it's random I'll make it a set amount from now on like the green arrows do.

>>147883194
>Why take attention away
For attention and visibility, obviously.
That's how marketing works and those devs don't give a fuck about agdg.

I would usually point it out but it's useless considering that we have idiots here defending them.

>The kick action seems to have no use, though I haven't played all levels yet.

You have to be standing directly next to the object or carrying it to kick it. I'll make this more lax on the distance or give him a cartoonishly big foot to kick with when he does battletoads style.

>The player has absolutely no notion of what's going on since there are no "holding" or "jumping" or even "standing still" sprites.

There is technically a standing still sprite, it's him looking around. But you're right I've been procrastinating on the holding and jumping sprites.

>should I make the background a darker shade of grey instead of the same color as the walls?
I don't think that's a good solution. It would be just like a normal level but a darker background. If you really want to make levels like these just make the light radius around you bigger.

>If it's the chase level, the button is a Kaizo mario button, it creates a block making the level unbeatable
I see, I beat it without knowing what I did at all. But it wasn't really a chase since I just used the bug of falling in a hole and getting HP.

>Green light height is dependent on how long you've been in contact with it [...]
I just had real problems with it in the bug level. If I jumped from the yellow to the green it was completely ineffective, so I had to hurt myself on the red and then touch the green. This change is up to you.

>>147883746
All my games from now on with have zero black people, or any ethnic minorities because I'm sick of hearing about it.

FEEDBACK #5 (Charlotte's Dream v0.2)
- It would be nice if the environment was more animated (e.g. the water)
- Guitar riff on power slide when? (sounds when?)
- Took me a moment to notice the 'pile of sand = crab' thing... although I guess that's just me being silly, but maybe make it slightly lighter/glowier than the normal sand to make it more obvious?
- The "you woke up" sequence is great
- Cute animations
- The hermit things aren't that bad, not sure why someone was complaining about them before

>>147883910

I don't think I will be making it like that. I would rather prefer it to work like old platformer controls. using A and D to turn while using W to move forward sounds very strange.

>>147883982
Oh yeah, I understand what you mean. I thought of it as a damage boost in order to reach it, these instances were supposed to make the player feel clever not uncertain if that was the intended route, I'll think of something. Maybe remove the yellow one entirely? Or the red one.
Good luck on the boss if you get to it, it's the big door at the bottom. The chase level spits you out to the hub just before it.

I think it's far enough in that I can can reply to feedback. Thanks to all the devs who played and reviewed!

>WASD for panning
Done. I'll have remappable keys in the final version of course.

>Move several squares at once
I tried to implement this, using the pathfinding that I used elsewhere, but it clashed with some previous assumptions I'd made in the code. I'll definitely add it soon.

>UI / Clarity
One of you suggested that I add a UI with all a unit's information, abilities, size, type, etc. I already had that coded up but it was ugly and incomplete, so I left it out. A few of you still managed to figure out the gameplay!
Another reviewer suggested NOT adding any real UI, and letting the player discover everything themselves.

So I'm torn between a minimal UI, or a very cyberpunk baroque ui where every marginally useful piece of data is shown at once. I don't really like the middle path of a standardd UI.
>size of this unit's trail
>this unit's head location
>unit at the mouse's head location
>unit at the mouse's abilities
>distance between head and the mouse location
>and more

I already am tracking all this info in the code, so the only work is making a UI for it.

Updated the demo with a target direction indicator and some minor balancing changes to the levels. Hopefully the former will make the player's target easier to follow on more crowded levels, but I'd like some suggestions on what else I can do there

I'd also like some feedback on how much more effort I should put into this. The core gameplay feels like it's coming together, but I'm pretty burnt out so I'm not sure if I should just finish the gameplay and release it as a short arcade game, or keep going and do tons of extra shit like a story mode, half-decent graphics and music, and extra gameplay stuff. I basically just want some honest feedback on how much potential this game actually has

Also, where should I start posting if I want to get a bit more attention? I mostly just use twitter to document my progress for my own sake. Is tumblr or anything like that any good?

(2/2)

>Is it based on Spybotics: The Nightfall Incident?
Yes it is. Those devs really stumbled on a v good mechanic.

>Delete from tail to head or vice versa
Right now all abilities simply cut off the tail of the unit. I wanted to experiment with the mechanic instead of simply cloning nightfall.
Nightfall became a race to deal damage in later levels. There was also a degenerate stragey where you pumped one unit so big and so fast so that it could always outgrow the enemy team's DPS.
()Fiddle + Heisenbug for any of you that played it. )

All that said, I'll try a build that imitates Nightfall more closely.

>AI is stupid
Yep. I'm aiming for dumb but predictable. If anything it's too smart right now. Really predictable would be stuff like go forward till you hit a wall, then go left.

>Best strategy is to wait most turns
That is a serious problem. I find that advancing crosses tend to wipe out hands, but maybe keeping a fully powered cross is enough to fend off advancing AIs?

Also this meta is stupid because it only has 2 units. I've coded up at least 5 working units, but I didn't like how they played for Demo day. Adding units is my next priority.

>2D Dogfighting (Ace Combat 2D)
You really improved since the last demo, flying feels better and the missiles actually hit when you know what you're doing.
But man, stop working in anything else, because this game needs sound effects urgently. I don't care if they are silly stuff or end-product shit. Just do it.
There's no sign that you hit the enemy or not, there's no sign that you're being chased, there's no sign that you've been hit. Just plain, uninformative silence.
I put Comona to play and went into level 2 and the game suddenly got 10 times as fun, though I was still completely unaware of most of the current happenings.
Next Demo I want to see some SFX on this game. No excuses.

Question: Should platforms interpolate their movement to make them look pretty?

I'm conflicted because I think the more predictable they are, the better

>>147884967
Make an arcade game first. If it's fun as an arcade game it can be fun as a story/mission game. But no story will make bad gameplay good.

You need machine gun visuals badly. Even a placeholder laser would be ok.

>>147885024
Thank you for this awesome game demo. Its so aesthetically pleasing I can't stand it.

FEEDBACK #6 (TacticalRPG)
- I think you need a better explanation of what you're doing right when you start the game (when you're placing units) - I thought the game hadn't loaded the textures/models correctly when it was just showing black and a few tiles, and then I tried soloing the fight with just 1 dude
- When your turn ends you need to select a facing direction... is that so you can avoid being attacked from behind? Just seems a bit weird as I wasn't sure what it was doing
- The action is a bit slow - if possible I'd speed up almost all animations x2
- I like the cel shading aesthetic, although I think the grass looks a bit out of place - I think a cleaner, more solid colour look would be better
- Does Chivalry do anything?
- Overall it looks like you've got a solid base for the SRPG mechanics to work from, mostly just needs a lot of polish and user friendliness improvements
- Wow did you make your own engine?

I've been putting off sound effects for so long, it's just something I don't know anything about. But yeah, it is definitely time I start working on that. You inspire me

>>147885516
No matter what I'll finish it as an arcade game, gameplay first. Story and all that would be really long-term, and even then I'd probably include a simple, no story arcade mode in the final game because I do want the gameplay to stand out more than anything

And you're definitely right about machine gun visuals. I have some old graphics from when the machine gun actually created projectiles rather than just using an area of effect, maybe I can use those just as visual flare

But yeah, I've been getting that a lot, and the first thing on the list after the demo was to re-do the player's sprites to make them more visible and less shitty. The backgrounds used to be a lot worse imo, but I apparently didn't tone them down quite enough.

>Game Maker.
May I ask how you're handling level setup and enemy spawning? Just a really huge room or are you using some sort of director? I'm trying to make a shmup in GM as well and I feel kind of torn between the two methods.

>>147885989
If I were you, I would publish the game complete as the arcade mode and put aside the project for a while. Make a prototype or another game. Come back to this game or make a "sequel" if players demand a story, but don't sink too much time into this one project past completion.

- Deployment Instructions: You're correct. I sometimes miss simple stuff like that. I'll add something to explain what's expected. The deployment screen is very barebones.

- Facing Direction: Only a few skills take this into account, including the basic attack. It can affect the damage and the evasion chance.

- Action Speed: You're right. It is a bit sluggish. I'll look into speeding things up.

- Grass: Most of the stage textures are placeholders. The grass is one that's pointed out a lot. I'll try to come up with something better.

- Chivalry: No. It's a job class without any skills. "Guy" is pretty worthless.

- Polish and User Friendliness: I agree. I'm missing a lot of things that a user needs. I think, as you've said, my base is solid and I can start pivoting more towards things like that.

- Engine: Yes, it's my own engine. I find it pretty easy to use. Allows me to work on games like this SRPG and things like what's in my WEBM.

Thanks for all of your feedback. It's invaluable and helps me see a lot of things I easily miss.

>>147886292
Timelines. Spawn the enemy ~5 pixels off screen and time it from there, or if it's level geometry you want to be exact, have the X origin at 0 and spawn one pixel out of view. The room is a bog standard 480p size, and the only thing natively going on in it is a couple of objects to imitate the timelines.

The downside here though is it's kinda hard to get things frame perfect exactly placed, but with enough tweaking you can eventually get things smooth enough.

FEEDBACK #7 (2D Dogfighting Demo)
- You really need to add the visual/sounds for taking/receiving damage... I know it's just a demo, but adding just placeholders for either of those would improve the game 10x!
- In the bombing mission I'm not sure what sort of strategy you need to use to not die (since you can't exactly dodge right)
- I didn't realise you needed to get the circle indicator over an enemy (turning them pink momentarily) to make your missiles home in (at least I think that's what it does)... it'd be good if you mentioned this somewhere (unless i missed it sorry)
- The actual flying mechanics seem solid and work pretty well
- I think I'd reduce the # of missiles it takes to destroy a ship and if possible make it more difficult to get behind an enemy, so it feels less like missile-sponge-gameplay and more like those scenes in movies where they get behind a ship and one-shot them

>want to learn how to pixel art
>try learning
>give up the first day because you're shit at art and realize it'll take more than a year to make anything decent looking

Should I learn c++ completely or immediately start making pong or some shit.

>>147886376
Me too, dude. I like doing art because it comes more naturally to me. I literally have 20 tabs open with tutorials and a Google page on call because of how often I have to look things up. the worst part is I'm not even new, I've been doing this for ~two years now

However, I've found that solving programming problems is one of the best experiences. It's what keeps me going.

We may not make it, but it is pretty fun

>>147886215
Does 2 player not use the mouse? Basically it's just a bit janky to have players/enemies always snap instantly to the direction they need to face. If you found a way to smooth it out, even if it made it take 5 frames instead of 1 frame, it'd look alot smoother.

Its a fun game though. Definitely on a good track.

I tried changing the movement to a direct vector based movement instead of unity's addForce stuff.

That's not a bad way of doing it actually, I was thinking of having them just turn slower when firing, and only have them move forward between bursts. I might try both and see which works better.

I already have a family to support me and care for me; I don't need to work really hard to convince a stranger to do the same, just so it's _slightly_ easier to have sex

That's not true at all. Was your favorite videogame made by a 1MA? If so, which game? Most celebrity gamedevs are just creative directors like Kojima or Todd Howard

Most celebrity devs are game designers and not developers. They usually do art and ideaguy which I don't consider a developer.

A developer needs to be able to code, which allows them to create the game themself if they had to.

The best examples of this are Notch and Jonathan Blow, 1MA gamedevs who can program and could have made the games by themself if they didn't decide to bring other people on.

Games are rules

You can make up rules without knowing how to arbitrarily make a machine interpret zeroes and ones

Each level of my game takes up ~20 megs of RAM. After a few levels, this really adds up. For some reason, my RAM usage doesn't go down after a level is finished, but I can't find any memory leaks. Help?
I'm using Windows Task Manager to measure the RAM usage, by the way.

Changing the movement to velocity instead of addforce makes it tighter but I still need to find a way to make re-entering water not seem to weird and there's also a huge issue involving pressing up against walls.

Maybe I should go back to addForce but find a way to mitigate how it works by somehow coding for directions to make it tighter. I might try that considering now I know how it will feel if I do have direct feedback.

>No, if I can't code I'm not a programmer
If you can't code you can't make a game without asking someone else to code it into existence for you - i.e. you can't make a game without having someone else make it for you.

If you can't code, you can't make a game, you can only facilitate someone else to make it for you.

You mad?

>You can make games without knowing how to code

You literally can't. Read above.

There are no 1MA gamedevs who can't code because to be a game developer you must be able to code.

Show me a 1MA gamedev who only does ideaguy and artist tasks. You can't, because that's not what a 1MA gamedev is. Because at it's essence, that's not what gamedev is. Gamedev is programming at it's core.

>I know it's quite obvious, but you are using sprite-batching in these bullets, right?
Yep, using a draw call per bullet would be very terrible. The fake 3D trees are also batched.
