what kind of multiplayer exactly? Online coop?

how do i create a "check if key is pressed" state in playmaker? the GetKeyDown input only checks the instant when the key is pressed down.

i have a key activate an infinite loop, i'd like the loop to only circulate while the key is pressed and when it is released transitions to the start again. i don't know anything about bool values.

Opinions /agdg/? I tried to make it like Metal Slug or megaman.

a spell that TURNS THE SKIN OF YOUR ENEMY INTO SPECTACULAR PLASMA that cooks his body EVENLY

a spell that sends PROGRESSIVELY LESS COMFY PILLOWS flying at your enemy every time its cast, eventually sending REALLY DANGEROUS COUCH DECORATIONS at literal breakneck speeds

a spell that CAUSES THE VOCAL CORDS AND EAR DRUMS OF YOUR ENEMY TO CHANGE PLACES, making him deaf and mute and also suffocating him

a spell that OPENS THE MAIN MENU

a spell that BREAKS OPEN THE ENEMY'S BODY and forces his skeleton to GO ON WITHOUT HIM

a spell that OPENS A PORTAL TO THE DIMENSION JUST NEXT DOOR, where you can sidestep into a universe that is essentially the same and fight yourself

How to use trello for games?
I want to use something that let's me write down ideas/tasks for my game while on my phone, and then be able to go deeper into them when I'm on my pc... what do you guys use?

I like to use a plugin for ToDo lists in sublime text (plain tasks I think) because I like the freedom of just sorting things out the way I like and adding any type of category at the front of a text like [engine] [quick] [version 0.1] and shit like that.

Also, do you guys use something special for bug reports? should I just try to use something like that for a "todo + ideas" thing?

I don't know if I will like trello in the long run.

Which engine would you use for anything 2D?

>>148826247
Gamemaker.

>>148826247
> for 2D

In that order. Maybe in the future godot will be better

a spell that explodes your wizard robes into fine threads that CAPTURE THE ENEMY but now you're naked

a spell that summons GUN

a spell that causes plants to grow REALLY FUCKING FAST, as in you can make grass under the enemy grow fast enough to PIERCE HIS BODY

a spell that creates a rune on the ground to which you can teleport FROM ANYWHERE

a spell that shocks the enemy with a KIND OF WEAK LIGHTNING BOLT, causing him to slip up and CAST THE WRONG SPELLS

# There was a big emphasis on reusability of the code in the original project,
# apparently, but this reusability took the form of inserting your deck of
# punch-cards at the appropriate position in somebody else's deck of punch-cards.
# (Actually, I think the card-decks were turned into tape libraries, and the modules
# were mixed-and-matched from the tape libraries, but the principle is the same.)
# So, indeed, the method of file-inclusion is a very fair representation of the
# methods used in the original development ... with the improvement, of course,
# that you no longer have to worry about dropping the card deck.

B) Multiplayer RTS (see thumbnail)

>>148831301
When put in this situation, I start with the game element as set in stone. So, the number four. I then think of all classic combinations using the number four. The four elements. The four seasons. The four horsemen of the apocalypse. The four basic colors.

If that fails to yield anything appropriate, I do "research." As in, I type things into Google and see what comes up relating to the theme. So, we're in the mindscape? I immediately think, war between different kinds of thinking, like Logic versus Emotion. I also think, war between different emotions. Maybe you want to get technical and pick out actual sections of the brain for each faction, to give each faction some multi-faceted depth based on the function that part of the brain does. You could get even smaller and look up how thoughts work, or emotions, or whatever, take your pick, and name the factions based on the different parts that make up those. Or maybe you want to get sleep-based, pick out different kinds of waves.

If all else fails, just make it about the horsemen of the apocalypse invading the mindscape, and you have to defeat them all to save the person from going to Hell or something. Idk.

>when you mix juices with bugs

>>148832190

>>148832190
I'm a little bit skeptical about multiplayer only indie games. Of course, have some LAN or Internet, COOP or death match play modes, but having only these I don't think is a good thing. Of course it's fun and challenging to implement, but I'm not sure it worth the effort if you are doing it seriously.

If we are talking about local, split screen multiplayer, that's another thing.

So if you really want to force multiplayer, the question is, which one would you like to have?

In case of the RTS, the LAN/Internet option is better. For the side scroller a split screen (or one screen) option may be more fitting.

>If we are talking about local, split screen multiplayer, that's another thing.
That's what actually bothered me the most about Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime: couch co-op only. Maybe they didn't want to deal with networking, or maybe it went against their "vision" of the game, but playing with friends that live far away would have been nice.

http://s-purple.tumblr.com/post/147484294391/breeding-seasons-cancelation-my-side-of-the

The short version: The project lead was kind of a lazy and overly emotional asshole and the main artist got tired of it, so he exploited a part of his contract that allowed him to slink away, gather up all the art he made, and used it to start another, incredibly similar project by himself in secret, which killed the original project since he was basically the only thing keeping it together.

>>148832576
Good advice all around. Thanks.
I actually tried this approach and, on the recommendation of another Anon, decided to try and make use of Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrasting_and_categorization_of_emotions#Plutchik.27s_wheel_of_emotions

Couldn't really make Surprise/Anticipation work so I came with the above.

The number of factions is set in stone but the theme and setting really aren't. I just need to go for something really abstract to match the limited art style I can afford. Aside from some sort of a mental realm the other clear option is cyberspace but I had even less luck coming up with a good thematic division there. Was extremely close to just going for the four elements in cyberpunk before realizing that's probably too stupid.

Malls maybe hasn't done to death.
Offices with samey corridors and rooms, serving as endless mazes.
I think basically everything can be scary. The main idea is to make it uncomfortable, unusual. You can do this, by simply removing one or two attributes of the given place. For example, what is the basic definition of any real life location? It's a place used by people to meet and gather, do business. So just simply do that: remove people. The reason why post apocalyptic flicks can make you feel uneasy is because you see these cities and huge buildings without any sign of life.
To simply put: just put your hero in an abandoned place. It doesn't have to be demolished or damaged. If it's in amazing shape yet there's no one around to take care of it, then it's just scarier.

syntax really isn't that important in the beginning, feel free to look it up. it'll stick with you after a while. focus more on being able to solve problems algorithmically, algorithmic/abstract thinking is an extremely useful skillset in general and vital in coding. bottom line is, would you rather know what you want the program to do and have to look up the syntax, or be fluent in the language but have no idea of where to start?

>>148840318
True. I'm not sure I could actually manage to put one together though. Granted that I can look at sources from other engines to get a grasp on the structure of things.

Is there any point to trying to make a digital card game now that Hearthstone has corned the market?

I'm making a digital card game. I'm standing out by making it a single-player experience where you can earn all of the cards without microtransactions. Game's focused on limited.

>>148840639
add non-TCG gameplay elements, turn based preferrably
see Duelyst for starters

>>148840646
You can't. That's how colour blending works - it takes the white component of your sprite and shifts its hue. Since white doesn't have a hue, it doesn't do anything.

What sort of effect are you trying to achieve? If you want your sprite to be solid white you can use a trick with d3d fog:

d3d_set_fog(true, [color], 0, 1);
draw_sprite(whatever);
d3d_set_fog(false, 0,0,0);

If you want it to just by 50% white or something, maybe you could draw the sprite twice (once with the above fog thing @ 0.5 alpha).

Reposting because didn't get many replies last thread because posted so late.

I added berserk mode to the game. You fill berserk gauge by getting blood when full HP. Each "orb" gives 3 seconds of berserk time and once you press berserk button, it will use all full orbs. If you gain more berserk gauge during berserk mode, you can extend it by pressing berserk button again.

There's currently no bar to indicate how long it lasts, but I will add one. In berserk mode, PC ignores all knockback, attacks faster and dodge doesn't have recovery frames.

The current effect just adds afterimages (i think they are called that) and changes the palette (will have separate sprites later).

I'm also working on blocking, which currently does work, but there are still few issues with parrying.

I added double button dodge back, because I found single button option not working with the other mechanics and it just felt weird.

numbers are obligatory for 'raw number' stats like damage. for reach/swing speed and other direct gameplay stats, describe them in text and add a small gameplay preview when you hover/select them? just the player sprite swinging the weapon and maybe an indicator.
>>148840864
skill-gated supermodes are awesome game design
that being said, imo blood orbs should automatically extend your current berserk timer, maybe even up to a cap, to make it good for fights with lots of enemies but not 'press x for god mode'.

>>148840521
the problem can be simplified to a single dimension and 3 states

>>148841487
T-thanks I guess.

>>148841495
Player will still take normal amount of damage in berserk mode. I think I might even make PC get 50% more damage in it.

>>148841034
You might wanna multiply the speed by deltaTime as well. It could fix it. But I doubt it.

>>148840497
I guess that is true and probably better than knowing the all the syntax completely. I really hate using code academy because sometimes I know I wrote it out correctly but some small bullshit in the syntax throws it off and it returns with an error. I legit hate it when I find out it wasn't really my fault. Is there anything out there that's better? I don't care if it's not interactive like code academy.

if you're going to be pushing multiple movable objects often, you could add every movable object into an object group, that moves together and assimilates every movable object you come across.
>>148841592
that's a good idea but not what i was talking about
i mean changing how the duration works. if the player has full control over how long they stay in berserk mode/how much of the meter they spend, they can just toggle it on when there's a harder fight. it becomes more mundane because there isn't much thought involved.
on the other hand if you make it so the player can only activate berserk mode with full orbs, make it short when first activated and have kills prolong it, the player has to think about when they use it. if they use it on eg. a high health boss, it'll run out quickly and be a waste.

Yeah, I've tried that. But the odd thing is that it actually doesn't do anything at all. Of course I have to increase the speed value to compensate, but the movement is still dependent on frames. Makes me think that Farseer is doing something funky behind the scenes.

The World.Step does take a delta value though, so it should also be dependent on time and not frames, but it still doesn't work. Or maybe I am just thinking of this incorrectly.

I'm making a 2d dungeon crawler, using a struct for cells with a bitarray for attributes; whether the north wall exists, it has a treasure chest, etc. The problem is, I'm not really sure how to handle locked doors and keys.

I was using another bit to mark doors, then another for whether or not the key is found. When the player gets a key, it'd flip the related x/y cell's locked bit.

The real problem is key distribution; I'd ideally want keys to be looted near the door, but short of another bit for "has a key" and an O(n) check through the door list if whether or not its in a door radius, I'm not sure how to achieve it.

>>148846758
I don't mind at all!

The white flash is actually a bit of a parlor trick with GM:S.

If you enable d3d_fog, then draw the sprite, then disable it, it draws the sprite a solid color.

There's other more "proper" ways to achieve this, but the fog trick is the easiest in my opinion.

So I have a "pain" variable that sets to 5 whenever an enemy gets hit, and drops by 1 every frame until it hits 0.

Then the draw event looks something like

if pain>0{
d3d_set_fog(true,c_white,0,0);
draw_sprite(<sprite stuff);
d3d_set_fog(false,c_white,0,0);
}
else{
draw_sprite(sprite_stuff)}

The lighting is just fake "lighting" using a surface that is drawn blank, and then the game draws gradient spheres that go from black to transparent at each light, and then draws that surface of light spheres onto a full-screen shade of gray that represents the "ambient" light, and then that whole thing is drawn subtracted over the scene.

Just Google for Game Maker surface lighting, and you should find a bunch of tutorials.

>step 3: stop drawing anime
love this meme

>>148846951
i disagree, for tile based games bit flags are primarily the simplest solution and only coincidentally very efficient
unless your game has a _ton_ of special cases, its far better to code around them than switch to a broader, more complicated taxonomic system

>“I think some players have a false perception of Unity and that might be of our own making,” he says. “We require free users to employ a Unity splash screen [in their games] but professional users are not required to show off the fact their game was made using our engine. Maybe in terms of how the engine is perceived we ought to do that the other way around.”

>didn't notice the 'return to anime after you've gotten gud'
you don't get to have a style before you get your fundamentals in place. you'll improve at a snail's pace if even that if you 'muh style' instead of working on visualisation, rendering, avoiding symbol drawing etc

>>148847332
Boobs like the ones on the top left actually existed, granted they're not natural but if that's what you're going for...

>>148847404
Hah.

>>148847435
nice meme theres literally nothing that prevents you practicing the fundamentals while still drawing anime

>>148847562
wow nice splash screen!

>>148847157
its funny but ive always thought vilppu and loomis are kind of shit
i much prefer to recommend michael hampton's figure drawing book and imo the goat pair of anatomical reference books, richer's artistic anatomy and peck's atlas

>>148847570
try drawing anime without symbol drawing i dare you

Why are you drawing in the anime style?

if you look at text heavy games like planescape: torment and say monkey island 2, they keep their dialogs very simple typographically

>>148847617
You can have as much or as little symbol drawing as you want in anime. Also having symbols in your art doesn't prevent you from practicing the fundamentals either.

>>148847965
call me when they decide to fix bugs instead of adding more bugs.

>>148848019
or rather plain visually

>>148847614
everyone thinks they're shit until they git gud

Do i really need to read a 1000 page C++ book before starting my games ?

>>148848106
>implying this will ever happen

asset store $$$

>>148848162
eh maybe its a difference in types of learning and what sort theyre attuned to
then maybe im just still trash

>>148848186
Yes
Or use an actual game engine so you can just make game.

>>148847794
the style i grew happens to look like a mix of anime and comics, because i took inspiration from both. my drawings are still below professional level mind you, but i didn't rise above gutter trash until i stopped trying to draw anime.
>>148848094
then why don't you practice coding in bhutanese? you'll learn to code that way just fine. also
>you can have as much symbol drawing as you want in anime
ever wondered why anime praised for their animation outside japan are so few and far in between? miyazaki doesn't fucking symbol draw

It just work.

>>148848186
really if youre going to learn c++, start with plain c
its a much less complex subset with more than enough power and you will have to learn it later anyway
just dont listen to beardos recommending you to read K&R first, its a shit book for beginners

>miyazaki doesn't fucking symbol draw
so you're proving my point?

>then why don't you practice coding in bhutanese?
if i wanted to learn how to code in bhutanese I would, instead of stopping my bhutanese studies for no reason.
also note that most compilers do not support uchen script

>>148848661
I know C a little, but i already have this C++ book by strousturp with the birds . But man 1000 pages just to start is a little pverwhelming

>>148848706
it reads very well visually though
even if the fps is kinda worrying

>>148848802
PCs don't come in generations

good to know you were using a toaster though

>Miyazaki doesn't symbol draw
You're confusing miyazaki with Otsuka. Miyazaki is some pleb-tier shit.

>>148847562
cool!!

>>148848706
not unity, literally anything will chug because of massive vertex duplication with flat shading
