Bunnydev here, can you please stop lying about the secret costume? Yes it's there, multiple anon have posted screenshots of it (albeit censored) so I know the costume is unlockable.
I don't give a fuck about getting downloads, I can upload it to MEGA or something and post the link here if you want.

Thanks for telling me about the pause cheat, I'll fix that right away.

So I'm having trouble designing levels for SuperStock. Right now in the current demo it's I wanna be the guy type levels short and difficult. Some say it doesn't work since the jumping doesn't allow for precision movement. What would be a good example of level design where the characters move in broad strokes like in this gif?

You can have the levels be like that but you need to encourage really good flow and pacing. The levels I played basically required me to stop and adjust which in conjunction with the imprecise hopping made it difficult.

I have shit all to do at my eng internship. Some days I can almost put 9 to 5 into my game with lots of alt-tabbing and "h-hi, you too", especially if I eat lunch at my desk. EEs are expected to do coding and most people can't tell the difference between one Whitesmiths-indented shitheap and the other. I look super productive and synergistic and shit.

>>148005134
I feel like the levels that are vertical are the true offender to that.

Prove you're bunny dev by editing your tripcode into your itch.io page

>>148005337
I can deal with the spikes, I really really disliked the gun emplacements.

It felt genuinely terrible to me. I think they were too densely packed together.

Like I said earlier, I don't really like these games so I'm not your target market.

I do think for any platformer though, you should be trying to emphasis fast pacing and flow (like your webm's show). Obviously you've had a lot of time with the game to get good at it and learn the nuances.

I think having a better difficulty curve would be good. probably something like

>First level has no pitfalls and no spikes, just purely for learning. Teach about jump dashing, double jumping, the flow for jumping and 3 delayed dashes.
Then slowly encorporate the stuff in small amounts.

>add one or two pitfalls in a segment
>a few spike traps in a segment
>one or two gun emplacements in a segment

Then a segment that incorporates all three.

WRONG the right thing to do is keep posting progress on your game and ignore the salty nodevs as you keep making dank progress.

Reminder that devs that crave attention are what's ruining /agdg/

Yes, most of the "bunnydev" posts are false flagging shitposters, but the real bunnydev has some of the blame for the way they've handled their game lately

Don't be like Bunnydev. Be like Clarentdev or that FPS dev or the Frog dev - humble yesdevs that just make game (instead of making it about themselves)

>>148006836

Jelly dev here, I been wondering what kind of platformer mechanics do people find fun? I would like to add a bit more variety to my game to keep interest through the whole time.

also as an aside does anyone know how to store values through uses in unity? I've been considering using a text file because unity has some goofy registry writing shit and I'd rather not edit people's registries for a simple game.

Should I just make a visual novel? I can't fucking make anything I want to make, but at least with ren'py I won't have to program any complex shit I don't understand

Setting up the menu sure is boring senpai

>>148005568
Either hard or just less satisfying. I think part of what makes Dustforce great is the really varied moveset the player has, and how the later levels really reward you for knowing every little movement you can do.
You should look for some gimmick to stand out from other platformers and if you do, have that be the rewarding other dimension to your level design along with those sweeping moments of flow. If you really like the idea of flow and playing at a fast pace, you could maybe add some mechanic that forces the player forward. To perfect a level in Dustforce (which is how you unlock more levels) you can't wait any more than like 5 seconds without sweeping up dust or hitting enemies (moving through the level).
Good luck with your stuff, I've never thought too hard about making a platformer so don't take what I'm saying too seriously.

Yeah no. The right thing to do is either leave or bully your shitposters until they literally lose their minds about you and/or start dressing like a girl. It takes a very long time and it isn't gamedev but it's very satisfying.

There is a lot of devs here that never had any kind of drama surrounding them, because they do what they need to do. Post progress, post game updates, ask for feedback, give feedback to other devs and nothing else. IF someone impersonates tem they don't give a fuck because they can prove who they are by making what any impersonator can't. Working on their game.

Has there been any paper mario style games made by anyone? (like 3d model stages and 2d based player/npcs).

If I have a large 2d tilemap, like 250x250, should I be spawning every tile at once, or should I like separate it to 50x50 plots and spawn/destroy when you get closer to/get farther away from them? There's about 22x14 tiles on screen at any given moment.

I use platformer as it is the closet description I could give to this kind of a game. I'm not really sure what genre it would be described as.

>>148007472
I think I might. I believe the game may be short enough to be played through in one sitting. I'm aiming for something simple and fun like Sparkster or sonic in nature. I feel there aren't too many games like that anymore. These types always tend to end up as metroidvania type of games which I don't enjoy too much.

I get the upward direction by doing raycasts downward from the perimeter of the player and setting their up direction to the normal of the best plane fitting those points. The feet are just objects which have to stay a given distance from their parent and move back to it when out of range.

You should be using the flyweight pattern for your sprite data. The other data probably does not matter but if you are that worried about it go calculate out how much space you want to allocate per level and divide that by your tile count then compare to how much you are using now.

A few years back, I experimented with some of the algorithms that would be necessary to implement this thing myself. It looked really fucking tedious and computationally expensive so I dropped it.

Then I found the asset and said "fuck it" and dove in. The past month or so was spent adapting, optimizing, refactoring and fixing all the weird author idiosyncrasies to make it fit-for-purpose.

Fuck. Those are the start and close game buttons, not text boxes. The combat is what I want feedback on, and certainly more substantial than just the character moving around the start screen.
It's understandable if you don't feel like giving it another shot. The conveyance is shit right now because I'm waiting on my artfriend to make me assets. If you do feel like trying it again, tell me and I'll upload a newer build. I added a fourth level and fixed quite a few minor bugs.

Best feedback I can give you is that I discovered how to break the game. Put your back against the wall on the slope at the center of the screen and the enemies can't spawn behind you anymore, after that just keep spamming attacks and you can get really high scores without being touched even once.

So how do people generally make their trees for Unity? The speedtree stuff feels horrible and it seems i'm not the only one having problems with them in 5.X . So blender (sapling addon)? Unity tree creator?

Hello thread, this is my first ever progress post. I am an extreme coding novice so I'm using Scirra Construct 2 to make my game, it's fun and pretty easy so far. I'm making a 2D beat em up type game with an emphasis on dodging/parrying.

This is the first ever test of my stamina system, and it works! I have everything set up so that I can easily tweak the values later.

Ignore the floor texture, it's not mine, I'm not an artist so I'll probably be cooperating with someone else a long time from now to do the real art.

>Is it all within one frame or multiple classes?
Multiple classes
>>148011015
>(like in flash i'd use addchild to call an as3 linkd object).
Addchild in Unity is called Instantiate. It's actually easier in my opinion. Gameobjects (kind of like movieclips) are first declared as a variable. Then it appears in the script menu, so you can add the gameobject there, "linking it". Then once that's done, it can be instantiated normally, and works more or less the same way as it would in flash.

>>148011176
Nice, keep it up!

>>148010246
>Put your back against the wall on the slope at the center of the screen and the enemies can't spawn behind you anymore
that's actually pretty funny that you found that. I was wondering how to deal with that for a while yesterday. What I ended up decided was that since the later enemies can't be stunlocked, that won't work for any more than like 3-4 stages. And even when it IS working, it's significantly slower than going out and fighting. This is especially important because later the game will let you buy better special attacks and the faster you beat a level the more currency you get. I did change how/where enemies spawn since uploading that build, though.

>>148010359
>>148009537
Smash click that MF start button
Also, is that screen cap of your whole screen? If not I'd love to hear what that resolution is. I have a fancy camera that won't scroll on levels that are considered too small horizontally or vertically. It should always be showing about an inch of wall. I guess at small resolutions it's broken and isn't showing everything it should. Maybe I should only enable fancycam if your screen resolution is 16:9.
I wonder if that also means you tried to click the buttons but the resolution fucked up the clickbox or something.
If so, don't bother with the new download, tell me and I'll fix it.
Thanks for giving it another shot

Keep in mind that in Unity, you actually use "scenes" as opposed to in flash where you're always on "scene1".
Also, animating in Unity is way different, and will probably require watching a few tutorials. I'm still not used to Unity's animation to be honest.

Can you angle it more so it's coming towards you somewhat?

Does this look too jarring? I've doubled each of the frames (3 frames)

It's for a turn into a walk, since I don't know how long the walk will go for I wanted to separate the animations, then I'll play it in reverse to go back to the idle.

I didn't do shit today in terms of artsan or game making.

guys lets get Jupi to play our demos

She made Halloween Jam vids so maybe it'd be a way to get a little more feedback

Thinking of calling it finished and starting something more interesting

>>148012550
I have two more downloads than that and I uploaded my game like 2 hours into the demo day.

Clarent dev:
I appreciate the celtic flavour, and the grappling hook is boss. The auto-aiming throwing knife is also a really clever innovation. Also, the gloomy aesthetic is fine, but you really need to differentiate backgrounds and foreground/enemies more. The grey knights kind of sink into the background, and in the town section it was impossible to tell what was foreground and what was background. Give it a bit more contrast, maybe give the knights some color that makes them pop, in the same way the protag has the white stripe

Ctesiphon dev:
Two things I'd like to add: mouse sensitivity adjustment, and always-run.

Just finished my game of the night

I put more effort into polishing this one up.

What do you think, is it fun?

Play Here:

How would you feel about an RPG where special moves are performed by succeeding in various microgames? Never played undermeme by the way, but I think it would be a nice mechanic.
See Glory of Hercules on the DS.

>>148012343
I'll post a link once it's finished processing. My mic is super low though so be prepared to turn your volume up and expect a bit of static sound.

If you haven't already would you mind doing https://itch.io/jam/agdg-demo-day-9/rate/69496
I want to have as much feedback as possible to improve on it, specially on controls since some people felt it's too stiff..

>>148013134
I think there are two different games with that premise coming out pretty soon. It's a good concept, but might be a bit oversaturated right now.

>>148013338
Oh well, my game is still in concept stage so it wouldn't be out before a couple of here anyway.

I should just give up and dev cute anime girl games like everyone else.

>>148013504
Post your game. I went through about half of them Ive got some time to kill so you can go ahead and post it and ill give you a strongly worded letter about it.

Here's my current playlist of video reviews of the demos so far. Up to 11 so far. Leapy Knight guy's should be finished processing now. If you want me to do yours, act now, because I'm probably going to sleep in a bit. I apologize for my terrible low-volume mic.

If it makes you feel any better I made one of those and I don't have many views either. Maybe they will pick up a bit after other people wake up.

>>148013782
Could you do Ball Run please?

>>148013782
my game is pretty short, i'd appreciate the feedback

https://itch.io/jam/agdg-demo-day-9/rate/74788

i'm considering using it 1 mini game in a 'wario ware' style game

I'd love to see a video of Project Shmoop.
Having video reference of the first time something happens and the immediate gut reaction to it would be great.

Im trying to learn how to into waifus.
I followed this tutorial here and while I like the direction of the result, it still doesnt look 2D animu enough.

Is there some better way to get animu texturing
using blender? I also added the basic node setup im using to the pic.

Seeing your work getting posted so frequently reminds me of how much work polishing actually is

>>148013782


Thanks for the video review on Leapy Knight dude! Glad you got a few laughs from his climbing-up animation.

>>148014153
literally who?

>>148014093
Looks pretty good in my opinion, face or at least its uv mapping looks a little bit to wide though.
To get the full anime effect you either need a good celshading shader, or turn off al lights, have bajed shadows and the inverted normals for the black line border effect.

>>148014153
Easy is too easy. First try. Was kind of mindless but pretty fun.

Hard is way too hard. It's like it's unbeatable. Way too much shit on screen and requires you to be exceptionally accurate with the 5 shot limit.

You're probably pretty close to having it be sellable on android.

Make the screen larger for PC, because it's really easy to click off and wreck yer game.

Graphics could be a bit better. I think the explosion specifically needs some work, It just doesn't look flashy enough, it's kind of grey, more like a dust cloud than an explosion.

Overall its pretty good.

>>148014093
You made that? It's pretty good. I think the eyes need to be closer together though.

And yeah, as the other person said, you need a cel shader or something. It's actually pretty difficult to get it to look 2D. Even pro studios mess it up sometimes.

Hey Bokube dev, I used the shield to block some shots in the air (no ground below the point), I think I blocked two shots at the same time, then the game hanged, the screen went black and the sounds kept going. No crash though.

>>148014093
I think its the eyes
You need some subsurface scattering or something

>>148013782
Thanks for the review of light/shadow game, you actually found some bugs I didn't know were possible, like the pick up a blue block and fly with it by crouching/launching at the same time.

Non-dev/Ideasguy here
I want to make a Fallout1/2 style Rougelike/lite would that be hard to code or fairly easy

Im talking randomly generated wasteland with random dungeons

Vault style shelters
Raider camps
and Trade cities
all randomly generated

Its seems like an Idea that would make alot of money because of peoples disappointment in Fallout 4

perhaps not so fitting for underwater but it could be for a more action packed part of the game.

I'm still not too great with music but I think I'm slowly improving.

I need some fucking support. I can't accomplish simple things.

Yeah Im still learning, I really need to watch the eye position more on my next try.

I will look in the words you guys posted, thanks.

>>148015013

Randomly generating maps?

Trivial.

Refining it so it's not a total piece of shit?

Moderate.

Filling it with non-boring and interesting content?

Difficult.

>>148014630
>sometimes
no cel shading from anyone has ever looked good

>muh xrd
still obviously 3d, instant fail

>>148015013
Roguelikes are typically extremely programming heavy.

>>148015013
Random generation increases complexity of a game with preset levels. Could you even make whatever you're proposing without rngen?

sure, I'll take a look at these and then head to bed after. I just finished a long recording of my own game. Not sure how much longer my voice will hold up with this semi-whispering thing (someone is sleeping in the room over and it's 4am now).

>>148013958
I used to try and beat CoP without dying. I never actually did it, but that was my furthest attempt. In the last video, you can see my at the gauss rifle part and I didn't remember exactly what to do. The guy with the rifle was hidden behind the tree so I couldn't see him. At the last second, I notice, and you can see my view pan up at him ready to fire, and he blasts me in the head. rip

Are there any other obvious characters to include but I forgot about them?

>player chooses five classes in the beginning of the game
>getting to certain day milestones will unlock additional classes you can get at the start of the new game.

>>148015226
I could
But that would mean i would need some type of story

>>148015013
ASCII graphics, or simple 2d graphics, or Fallout 1 tier isometric graphics?
