>>148660060
Before you start tweaking the laser you should try adding some sort of effect at the point where the laser meets the target. Something to show that the target is being damaged. It might make you like how static it looks right now if you add something cool at the point of impact.

Anyone here with the Lua C API and binding classes?

My idea is to have an Entity object in C++ that has basic properties like position.
So:
class Entity {
int x, y;
}
for example.

I want to bind this to Lua and have direct access to these properties so I can utilize syntax like:

local entity = Entity.init()
entity.x = entity.x + 5*dt

But it seems I'm only have to bind functions, and I'm not super proficient with metamethods in Lua. So I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction?

>>148666228
When I'm not playing games similar to mine and stealing /changing/improving the good ideas, I usually take a break and doodle random stuff on my notepad until I run into something that might be fun. You should try that.

Let's say I wanted to create something like a "rectangle" object with properties like "left" "top" "right" "bottom" etc... This would be pretty easy in most OOP languages using a struct or something since it's just a bundle of data.

Is there any way to do it in GML? GM's objects are way too inefficient to use as simple data blobs. The closest I could find in the documentation would be using a ds_map, but that uses strings for keys which isn't very efficient either.

Interesting decisions would be, how much effort do you put into hiding your actions/buying you more time before the ruse is discovered, how well do you time your actions, and how long do you risk holding on to your positions before cashing out? What are some other things the player could do?

How do you design hitboxes and hurtboxes in a game like hyper light drifter?
I was thinking a regular rectangular hurtbox in the character, and a "floorbox" to simulate depth. That way whenever attacks and hitboxes come out, it'll check if
1. The the hitbox collides with enemy hurtbox, and
2. if both floorboxes have at least one mutual number in its domain or range

Is it moral to use stolen assets while the game is still in development?

>>148671401
As long as you don't release the game with stolen assets, it's fine. Be careful about making a freeware game with stolen assets too, as it could get C&D'd

>>148671401
As long as it's not in the finished product, but even then you might as well use free placeholder assets

>>148671401
Why bother stealing assets? Just use some temporary shit to fill in

>>148671401
You're not "stealing" them until you give someone a copy of your game.

Just a suggestion.

>>148672453
You don't know shit about moe.

A game where WW3 just started and you are in charge of aiming several nukes, your objective is to weaken your enemy enough so that your country wins the war.

In each level you have different bombs and you must figure out the best places to nuke by comparing your army with the enemy's.

Later levels introduce stronger defense systems and such.

>>148672420

Is there a way to change the scale of the world coordinate system in unity2d? I can easily just create a grid system in my scripts and keep translating to and from world coordinates, but that seems like a lot more work than changing the coordinates.
The closest way to achieve this I'm seeing right now is the Size property in the camera, but it's very imprecise.

Why do people beat around the bush so much?

Just the mere mention of a girl makes them angry, so they lash out.

Not that guy, but is your game a platformer? In that case you are completely right, jumping while moving forward is logically the fastest you should be moving, but i think anon means top-down games, where walking at the same speed, but now diagonal, shouldnt make you move faster.

>>148668678
Looks cool.

I'll comment on the squish effect as well and suggest that it should be a game mechanic where if you jump at the end of the squish effect you jump higher. You could also make it so you squish more the higher you fall from. That way you'd want to keep your momentum going by jumping higher and higher by timing your jumps properly.

Kind of like Kirby's ball ability, but less awful.

>>148673830
Pixel art can look really good.
Mediocre pixel art also happens to be very easy to make, as opposed to mediocre regular art. Since almost none of us are artists, we use mediocre pixel art until we can hire an artist or master actual art.

>>148674939
>basic shapes
I might have to disagree here. Everything is constructed of basic shapes: we even narrow down body parts to these shapes (oval/circle/square for head, cylinders for limbs, etc). Most concept artists use those to create characters. Complicated jumbles of shapes can make for overly-complex character design.
>blobs of color
Makes sense, but complex shading for game sprites can be extremely time-consuming. Do you have any examples of games with hand-drawn non-pixel sprites that meet your standards? Sincerely asking here.

These pirate chumps don't stand a chance against the player's crouching abilities.

I should probably compensate by giving them grenades.

>>148675290
At least they tried to make swimming dynamic rather than having the player the only character capable of swimming, or NPCs only able to swim as part of a scripted sequence or cutscene, or only in one specific area

Add more tones of shadows, or make the contrast more.

>>148675060
Why? The diagonal distance is the same as the straight distance.

>>148674648
If I've got a spaceship instead of a human being, doesn't it make sense? It's got lateral thrusters and front/back thrusters, it can activate both at the same time, right?

>>148675554
Or maybe they can also crouch and you need to jump over their shots.

Because it feels better that way. If you don't do it the diagonal movement feels too fast compared to the vertical and horizontal movement and players tend to abuse that.

But it's not abusable, the vertical and horizontal speeds are the same but the only difference is that you are moving in both directions at the same time.

If you want to reach a diagonal objective it's obviously faster and should be that way but if you want to reach a straight objective then moving diagonally won't get you there faster.

When will the lowpoly ungrouped normals meme die?

I like working with art, music etc.. for a game, but coding is autistic as fuck. Why don't we all come together and take advantage of our talents and work on a project 'n shiet?

Is it that important to have tiles in a 2D game be powers of two in size?

I personally think Vesperia was the highest point of the franchise. They even had to ban Yuri from the "Best Tales MC" annual contests because he kept wining every year.
