/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

Best method of suicide?

>tfw broke my nephews telescope to get lenses for google cardboard
And what have you sacrificed for dev?

I hope Todd gets to make a new game soon.

Make a game

I'm trying to make the player unable to change their direction in mid air, but I can't think of an efficient way to do this, any ideas? Using gm by the way

some code progress for better sounds.

I think I have found the simplest way to maintain audio files that doesn't result in bugs.

stop audio at the start so that repetitive sounds don't overlap and cause issues with music. Made my own global to control mute because game makers mute function is kinda bad.

who's the guy behind john?

Have an int dx to represent your player's direction and switch it to 1 or -1 depending on what direction they're moving in on the ground. Have a bollean isGrounded and only change dx if isGrounded is true.

>>148615878

Not sure how this is going to apply, but I hope you have a good reason for limiting this sort of control.

I downloaded Unity because I want to make a fightan gaem to learn how to make a better fightan gaem.

I have two major roadblocks though.

How should I handle how characters flip to face each other? I was thinking of having an object that compares the x values on the transform for the two characters, and flip the sprites if p1 is on the right and p2 is in the left. Is there a different/better way I should do this?

How should I handle inputs for special moves? Like how you do down, down-forward, forward and lunch to throw a fireball as Ryu.

>>148615608

>>148615769
Boy an I glad you asked.
Unsurprisingly, he's a great dev.
You should know him already.

Frankly, he's one of the greatest.
And his games are superb.
Luckily, he's still working in the industry.
Like any other great individual, he deserves all the fame he has.
Of course, he doesn't make games alone.
Undoubtedly, th team he works with is also deserving of praise.
Truth be told though, it's thanks to him that the games are so good.

4 all of you who still don't recognize him that man's name is Todd Howard, you better remember him now.

how mad are you that you forgot to include a todd edit?

>>148615878
I'll give that a shot, thanks
>>148616040
I'd like to incorporate a walljump at some point, using the opposite directional key, and I feel like my programming skill is way too low to give the player slight influence, I can only do full movement or none.

>>148616183
Sure? I mean, I plan on making a silly platformer or something to get the basics down, but damn if I can't stop thinking about how I want to make a fun fighting game.

Guys... Medieval Fallout Shelter

Free released 3D cute girl where?

>>148616383
We all do.
But it's a tedious fucking genre to do.
Just flesh out all your oc and why your fightan' will be better or add something of worth to all the other fightans' out there.

Or if you really want to, keep it as a side-project and just slowly iterate/improve it while you take breaks from your main projects.

Tbh, most of the tedium seems like it comes from balancing and tweaking. But once the system is in place, wouldn't it be easier to develop from there?

Especially since I'm not exactly doing anything really new, it's more of a love letter to another game.

And also even if you were 1:1 copying ideas you sporadically saw in the thread... You'd still end up with a massively different game.

GM:S is solid. Successful devs that started with GM continue to use it, which is the best recomendation for it

>>148623486
GM/Godot for small or simple projects.

LibGDX if you're fine with taking longer but having better performance/organizational control.

>>148623497
It's not for programming.

>>148623486
GM is a good engine that has proven itself with many successes, but if you're more interested in the programming aspect of gamedev I'd recommend libgdx, monogame or even LOVE. Godot is fairly new and I've heard good things about it, but I don't have enough experience with it to feel confident in making a recommendation.

>>148623552
>>148623554
>>148623728

Alright thanks it seems like GM:S is the way to go. I would like to learn how to program so I might mess around with lib, I might be too dumb though idk.

>>148623785
GM won't teach you to program.
GM will teach you to hack together code to make a game.

If your goal is to program & make a game. Study a language and then pick a library.

If you just want to make a game, go GM.

You need a private variable to store the value, like this:

New terrain. It look a bit weird to me. What do you think?

>>148632634
I think it's the texture but I have no idea what I'm talking about.
I'm going to post anyway.

Got some great ideas for a game but it takes a shit load of coding before I can test out the implementation.

Been programming weekends here and there but making little progress. I work as a programmer so just feel worn out coming come after programming for 8 hours and never feel like making progress.

Got about 6 months of living expense in cash and 3 years if I cash out of my equities when they're at all time high now.

Looks like it might be time to bite the bullet and quit my job to dev full time. If I don't succeed before I run out of money I'll just kill myself.

What's the best way to make vector animations nowadays?

Drawing in Illustrator + animating frame by frame in Photoshop?
Drawing in Illustrator, animating in After Effects and then exporting as .gif?

>>148632950
>exporting as .gif
do not ever use gif in games, it's too shit to use.
If you're doing frame by frame animation you'll want to export animation sheets or export the animation frames as separate files.
If you want to do bone animation you'll probably want to do that in-engine because most engines have built in ways to handle 2D bone animation and it will be smoother than frames.

>>148632950
Depends what kind of vector animation you're wanting to do. I used to use Flash to draw everything and then you can export sprite sheets or sequences with transparency, which makes it super easy to import into Game Maker: However, digital painting in Flash is super limited, so if you're going for that kind of style, you'll need to use Photoshop.

A lot of time has passed since i last visited agdg. For some time now i was itching to make a tower defence game and finally i have some free time on my hands. Space jam seems to be ideal for this type of game so i decided to join. I will be using unity for this project. First i want to create a space background so for some time now i have been experimenting with shuriken to create particle effect that looks like nebula. The webm shows what I got so far. Do you guys think it looks ok? Also i woud be interested to hear how others contestants make their space background.

You can now properly swap out chips in your blaster, and see real-time changes to the stats as you peruse the menu.

GM:S dev here.
Is it sane to structure my game like this?
>Player and enemy ships both inherit from "ship"
>Can have 1 to N weapons, which are actual (invisible) objects stuck to the ship
>An enemy ship's weapons are autonomous and fire whenever
>All weapons inherit from "weapon"; they have default properties that can be overridden by the ship they're set up on
>All projectiles inherit from "projectile"; similarly, properties can be overridden by the weapon object firing them

This means I could have a "damage" variable on a projectile changed by "my_projectile_damage" on the weapon firing it, and changed again with "my_weapon_damage" from a specific ship.

I feel like this could devolve into spaghetti very quickly.

So, it sounds sane to me.

>>148636904

Unity for example if your play with a tight loop it can be hard to get it to stop. You can lose project settings, but your IDE will still be functional.

>>148636821

i would personally give enemy ships their own parent object

>>148632634

>>148636673
how can it be snowing in space?

>>148636296
You can use Monodevelop's Attach to Process feature to edit variables while the program is running, allowing you to escape infinite loops by inducing a runtime error or otherwise changing the value that's causing the loop.

>>148636821

Just jury rig w/e works. Trying get a perfect object oriented design is futile.
