If it has gameplay, it's a game. Kind of like how if it has pages that you turn, it's a book. A visual novel is electronic, it's interactive, it has graphics and sounds and music and save/load mechanics, but it doesn't have gameplay. That's the whole reason the term "visual novel" exists: It isn't a game.

How do I draw?

It seems whenever I ask this question, one person shouts "loomis!", another shouts, "Loomis a shit!", and a third tells me to kill myself and the fourth just posts those infuriating pepe memes.

The main problem is I don't know where to start. It seems in order to draw, even the most cartoonish of things, you must have mastery of an innumerable amount of things.

Is this a good schedule? I was thinking of devoting perhaps two to four weeks per subject, then starting all over again until I git gud.

I hope for some actual helpful replies to this post, but I fear I may just be accused of being a cuck, a tumblr or whatever the dank boogieman is nowadays.

Pick related; the schedule.

>>148873335
Not him, but some VN have small minigames trow in there to spice it up a little.
Reine des Fleurs has battle mechanics when you encounter some characters, but still counts as a VN, and Tomoyo After has a small turnbased dungeon crawler-like rpg minigame too. Iirc Clannad also had some sort of rythm game thing with Tomoyo kicking Sunohara, where you had to make long combos to get points.
Haven't played VA11-HALL-A so I don't know too much about it.

>>148873896

Interesting. I want to make a VN because I like the way they tell stories, but VNs as a whole bore me, so I want to spice it up with some kind of interactive element that would keep people like me interested. I've been thinking long and hard about what kind of gameplay would mesh well with the VN style of storytelling with the dialogue boxes and such, but I haven't been coming up with any good ideas.

orienting yourself is important, but trying to figure out a schedule before you get a feel for things is often a waste of time. you'll get nowhere without drawing a lot, and yeah, 60-70 hours (or less, you'll have to judge for yourself) should be enough to get accustomed to the basics and get a feel for where you are and where you want to go.

You and me both, buddy. But unlike >>148873864, I think visual novels are just a separate subset of games. Just like non-RPGs can have RPG elements, VNs can have gameplay elements. Check out vndb's "Other Gameplay Elements" section here: https://vndb.org/g21 or visit /evn/ (also on /vg/) for more ideas/discussion.

I agree. But I also agree with the other guy that there are other things you should learn first. I think anime gives you insight on how you can distort and exaggerate anatomy to make characters and poses more expressive, but you should also learn some of those basics from life before you start changing them up. Some anime can also provide help with color theory, layout, etc. But drawing from life before tackling secondhand representations can help even more.

right now projectiles simply lock on the nearest enemy that can still be hit. when the target is no longer available (for example, they were defeated), they lock on the next nearest one. if there is no target, they don't change the direction.

Does anyone know about shaders? I'm reading up on parallax mapping, the "modern" ray marching algorithm seems extremely wasteful on texture reads, but the original paper with an offset is using fixed functions, which I am absolutely not sure how translates into a modern shading language

You can create plugins for new behaviors, effects, etc. So yes it allows for scripting but it's not built directly into the interface.

There's also a "function" behavior that allows you to script custom functions, and then call them using the same behavior.

In the sense of studying it with the goal to master the language (being able to converse freely - but not perfectly - with native speakers), not only to get some credits for school.
Saying stuff like "I'll study German after I'm done with Japanese" sounds laughably naive. Learning a language takes years of continious studying and even then you'll never really be done, which means you'll never move on to German.
Trust me, I studied Italian for 10 years and then went to uni in Italy and I still don't feel confident. I started learning English a bit later, and feel quite confident because of continuous exposure to it on the internet, but I'd never dare to say that I'm done learning. And if I'm sure of one thing, it's that I'll never take up another language. Learning languages is a pain in the ass.

Learning a language is fucking difficult, even more if you are taking just classes outside your main career/job/whatever and you aren't in a translation uni or something dedicated to it.
If you want to really understand, translate and write a different language it would took years, even more if it's a complicated one, like spanish, japanese, chinese or russian.
But you probably can get a really basic text comprehension in less time if that's what you want.

>>148882223
Sure, learn Japanese. I never meant to try to discourage you from that. I just wanted to explain that making a list of languages to learn is a stupid idea, because you'll never get to the second one on that list. So, if you want to learn Japanese, go for it. If you want to learn German, go for that. Just be clear on the fact that you won't be able to do both in a reasonable timeframe. Learning languages is a great thing (with a lot of benefits for the brain), but it takes a lot of effort and one language is probably the limit for an adult (unless you live in a foreign country and learn the language by osmosis or something lol).

>>148882426

Extreme levels of customization for each character. A very rich fairy tale storybook aesthetic that blends between 2d and 3d. Classes dependent on the faction, which in turn determines the questline.

yeah. i have a hardon for well told narratives.
preferrably it'd be a 3d 3rd person shooter for most of the game, hopping between planets and resolving subplots that lead up to the ayylmaos. the very end of the game would have the pilot that you played as get ripped out of the mech and killed by the surviving hybrid, and your mech getting up on its own and goring the fucker.
way too ambitious for a first, even early game, and i don't want to half ass it so it's on my 'when i git gud' backburner.
until then the more realistic stuff i have in mind is the XCOM ripoff with magical girls, some JRPGs to work on my writing, a beat-em-up where you use the primary colours to beat up monsters sucking colour out of the world, and fuck i'm blogging.

VR is so boring lately. I almost regret buying a Vive. You would think there would be decent VR porn games that were Japanese and made by Illusion, the same company that has been shoveling samegames now for more than a decade.

Fuck, how do I get an object to target other instances of itself? They keep just targeting themselves

>>148890167
oh yea, i know something about those ambitious project hence i'm trying to gain experience finishing a lot of small games (albeit meaningful and creative) before embarking on the huge project i've been always dreaming about. good luck anon.

Restructuring how Kudzu works, hopefully it won't be that huge of a resource hog now.
Forgot to make a fun pic and I'm on my phone now so you will have to content yourself with these mere words.

Good reading comprehension.

>>148890406
the most braindead solution is to push the object into an unreachable position, do the instance_nearest thing, then move it back into it's previous position

G'day cunt

How much does size affect rendering speed

like if you made a game at 1:1 scale or like "toys" at 1/8 scale
