Is cover art for my game progress? Even if I haven't started on the game other than the cover art?

How should I go about learning how to code for Unity? It looks like what I want to be done can only be done there, and the meager sales I'll get will allow me to keep them without paying anything out to Unity.
I'm an artfag, and wouldn't mind going through some course or something extremely long, as long as it covers C# or C# for unity well.

I thought making a lewd game would be easy...
>>it's not
Fuck.

>>149231389
because i hate my life, but more importantly because i'm making a physics fighting game with no animations.

its just frustrating to know exactly why something isn't working and how to get it working but not have the means to do that.

>>149231258
>i wish i wasn't retarded and could learn how to code.
Have you considered forcing yourself? The "hard" parts of coding are shit you don't have to deal with when using an engine. I think everyone should learn simply because I consider basic coding/scripting to be "moderate-to-advanced computer use". If you've tried before and had problems, consider two things: lots of resources are garbage, and a big part of learning is pushing yourself past the frustrating parts. The most important programming skill is google-fu, know how to figure out the information you need and make the right search.

>>149231814
This.

Unlike art everyone can learn enough coding to do a game.

While I like the responsiveness, I think instant window resize is generally a bad idea. I hope that doesn't happen in fullscreen mode as that seems potentially problematic.

>>149232248
I don't know much about discalculia but I find the "mathematical" nature of programming very overstated. Logic would be a better comparison, but really it's just chains of events/functions. I suppose the primary comparison to math is in its "terse" presentation. I hope you tried books and not web tutorials, because web tutorials are almost all trash. Lots of books are trash too, but the good comprehensive books on languages are the best way to learn.

Glad you have posted! I was playing your demo again, and I've noticed that you can "bounce". What I mean is, that if you keep on pressing the jump key, the character will keep on jumping. In most games, if you jump and reach the ground, you have to press the jump key again for the next jump, and the constant pressing of the key won't do anything. I don't know if it's intentional or not, but I wanted to warn you.

Another thing: You have mentioned that you process the bitmaps via command line. May I ask why you just do the same with the game engine itself (so with C++ and SDL)? I've just crafted a small algorithm which reads a 24 BMP image and creates a tile map from it.

Your progress is nice, nevertheless. May I ask: do you save the changes? So if the player restarts the game, will the changes persist?

Most "content creators" have absolutely zero polish skills. Consider watching your own video before uploading? No, I recorded it, it's going up, this is all about quantity right? Way to stay amateur forever. The best thing I ever did was start buying books. I was afraid of programming until I took a course at 17, and all the course did for me was assign me half of a C textbook over 3 months. I read the whole thing in two weeks. It wasn't an amazing book, but holy shit, I felt capable after that.

Day 6 of Tryin' to Make Vidya Games

Oh fuck I should be in bed, but this death animation is taking way more time than I expected. It's in the webm above in unfinished form when he gets hit by the laser.

Waves are working how I want, and now there are actually penalties for getting hit, little life icons and a game over screen. I think I should either make a life bar and have the bullets do damage or make the bullet hit animation more dramatic, because at the moment the laser death is just so much more intense.

I've been melting that turtle pixel by pixel for the past two and a half hours, but I think it'll look cool when I'm done.

Also got a local music guy to agree to make a background song for it, though it's pretty short notice for the jam.

Starting to think I'll actually have this thing done in time.

>>149232936
In the category of esoteric languages, or esolangs. Same category as brainfuck, so they range from humorous to so complicated you generally need to use them as a compile target. https://esolangs.org/wiki/Language_list

>>149232613
I've read some Unity books but they were rather shitty as they don't try to teach you concepts, they flat out tell you to use X built in feature / download Y asset. Which translates into: if what you want isn't exactly the same as what we're offering, you're fucked. If the feature is Pro Only, you're fucked.

For video tutorials, Sebastian Lague is a patron deity for Unity. Quill18creates has quite a lot of basic material you can download if you want to see the code for something in particular.

Seeing my daughteru's blank, judging stare every time I have the empty desktop visible motivates me to make progress.

>>149232553
>I hope that doesn't happen in fullscreen mode as that seems potentially problematic.
The resolution setting currently only changes the window size, fullscreen is always at desktop resolution.

>>149232697
>What I mean is, that if you keep on pressing the jump key, the character will keep on jumping.
It is intentional but not necessarily final. I'm not a big fan of the strictness of having to be on the ground when you press jump, but I might change it so each press only results in one jump.

>May I ask why you just do the same with the game engine itself (so with C++ and SDL)?
I made the mask converter right after the level converter without really thinking about it, there's no real reason why it couldn't be done in-game. The tool still uses SDL for reading the images anyway.

>May I ask: do you save the changes? So if the player restarts the game, will the changes persist?
Yes, everything is saved on exit and loaded on next startup. You can actually see that happen in the demo as well, it will remember whether it was windowed or fullscreen.

One day I want my MC to be on someone's desktop.

>>149233503
In my opinion, don't look for a book for Unity, look for a book for C#. You want a comprehensive book on the actual language, and polish your google skills to find the relevant library documentation and some short examples to see how to carry that knowledge into a library or an engine (Unity).

Not recommending C# but that's what Unity uses.

I haven't used this general before.

Somebody told me that there was a good book that everyone used to learn how C++ can be used when making video games. Does anyone know what he was talking about?

Also, is there any good material for learning C#?

I want to make a small MORPG, and I don't know whether to make it for desktop or browser. Seems like they both have their pros and cons.

I'd be using Monogame for desktop, and Phaser + Node for browser, though I have much less experience in the latter...anyone who has experience in both want to give their opinion?

>>149236872
Jumping Into C++ is in my opinion the best for beginners, just torrent the PDF. Don't go straight for Bjarne Stroustrup's book, he's a good programmer but not so good teacher, it's the sort of read you need for improving your C++ , not learning it.

>>149236872
I don't know about this book you've mentioned, but the following site is pretty good, and covers everything you need. Maybe it's a little bit overwhelming at start. I say just try to understand: variables, for, while, if, else, arrays, objects and structures. If you feel comfortable with these, you can jump on C++ specific stuff like pointers.
http://www.learncpp.com/

For game making, you'll need a library like SDL of SFML. I don't know the latter, but for SDL, this is a pretty good guide:

Caricatures aren't off model just 'cause. Features get exaggerated or played down to convey something. And if it's not immediately obvious what you're trying to convey, your caricature sucks as a caricature and doesn't look good on its own.

Have you ever had a huge urge to play a game, but immediately quit it every time because you know the gameplay is shit?

Ever since Pokemon Go came out I've wanted to replay one of the Pokemon games but holy shit it's just a huge boring grind. I even downloaded a rom hack that makes the game somewhat challenging (every gym leader has 6 pokemon, often with competitive movesets/items) but I still can't force myself to play it. Yet I still feel a constant urge to play it.

I hope I can one day capture this feeling in my own game...

This is a difficult one, because people can love it, or hate it. So they will go or stay according to the received feedback.
New MC sprites, got rid of the gray color on the palette, fixed the glowing duck face, and they are more close to her final desing, since the older sprites were done based on early sketches. Tried to make them cuter too, adding small details like the ears, and bigger eyes.

Sorry if my post wasn't clear. Here, let me say it plain and simple:
Your night sky and sand, especially the little sand clouds look incredible, and I wish one day I will be able to reach the same level in 2D art as you have.

>>149242791
clean up the gray on the old design and use that
this one looks a bit visually messier but that's just my impression

What did strafing animations look like on old N64 fps games like GoldenEye or Turok? I can't find a video. Did they just play the normal walk animation as the character moved sideways, or did they actually have an animation for strafing?

>>149242791
Old one is better.

>>149242515
because pokemon is somehow social game. It's also children game. Now when you are older, the only thing you can talk to your friend is which girl will you bang and which movie suck more. You can't talk about pokemon unless you are in group full of autists.

Meanwhile in Japan, it's fine for adult to bring their 3ds to their friend's house and talk about monster huntard.

>>149242791
>Her future is in your hands agdg.
You don't want to do that.

I like it, especially the ears, but I feel like her face was more expressive in the previous version.

Also, I think you have noticed by now, but when you move to the left, you accidentally cut more from the sprite sheet than you supposed to.

>>149242791
Keep the old one but make this new one into the MC's rival

>>149242885
>>149242996
>>149243069

>>149242606
They're not temporary in the sense that I will be changing them, but temporary in the sense that they can still be changed later on. Which is true for every aspect of any game, at least until you officially put it out there for consumption.

I'm just really fond with the theme I've got going on so far. It's sweet, cutesy, with a hint of classic fairy tale storytelling. It's charming.

I just have to have the text display while you're questioning shit, and then questioning is finished. After that, it's presenting.

I have it so that you can question multiple parts of a statement, and I'm planning on having the player select the part of the statement that's wrong (which isn't hard). Just got to fix up the text for the questions first. And then it's time for JUICE and originality.

>>149245573
If that's what you're going with then I suppose it would be porn. If loli ass gets you going.

For actual definition, there needs to be a sex act involved for it to be porn. So flaunting some ass by wearing short skirts would fit more under "cheesecake". It's naughty, it's titillating, but it's not pornographic.

Own setting, albeit I'll be taking some cues from PW in terms of style etc. I'm not exactly sure what it's going to be, but I have a few ideas in my head. It's in the air though, so who the fuck knows what it's going to be.

>What do you think of the various existing online Ace Attorney fan game implementations?
Some of them are alright, but most of them fall short for a variety of reasons - most of them being small things that help make AA feel better to watch and play (it is, after all, a visual novel when you get down to it). For example, AO is fun, but it's boring to watch due to how rigid everything is (screen-shakes, moving benches, and all of that makes a huge difference for gameplay). AAO or that online case-maker is slightly better, but something about it feels cheap. The text goes too fast, animations are fucked at times, or everything just feels... off, I guess. It's hard to describe, but you can notice it when you try it out. Those little touches that make it look and read better really impact the enjoyment people have.

There's just this fine-line with AA-style games, and you either make it, or fuck it up. And while most of that is writing, a lot of it is presentation. You can have great writing, but shit presentation - it will hamper your writing. However, if you have shit writing, but great presentation, your writing will be made better. For a decent example, look at Danganronpa. The writing is, honestly, pretty shite. But, you ignore that in-game because the style of the game sucks you in, and gets you engaged. AA also does this. While it lacks a lot of the juice that DR has - it has enough to get the player engaged, and the writing is decent enough to hold up on it's own.

That's my little rant on AA games and their clones, at least.

What tool did you use to make this shitpost?

Without darkness there is no light.
Without shitposting there is no progress.
And thanks to the nodevs there's lots of progress!

is it possible to make a good game while having a girlfriend?

>>149247880
How is a legitimate question a shitpost?

>>149247897
Yes.
But you are considered a normie that has a life and you doesn't belong here.
You will also probably make ton of money.

>>149247913
Look man I just wanted to know which tool you used.

>>149247887
Without blindness
there is no sight
You'd see further if you'd only close your eyes

Would you mind replying to >>149247832

>>149248001
Haha he's not the one shitposting at you, don't hate him.

>>149248032
Is this kind of trolling popular in these threads?

>>149247897
yeah. if and only if you dont have money. and you feel insecure with the no money situation.

I wish my ideas were that complete.

Or is that from the perspective of an autistic dumbfuck that thinks "items can be found in the level" is a complete description?

Unity 3D.

>>149247870
Thank you anon.

Correct. The has some different rule sets; survival against AI, deathmatch, sandbox and so on.
Getting it into consoles would be a dream. It is a console game after all, you play it with several gamepads.

>>149247875
Thanks.

Setting is a galactic junkyard and Nebula. The players construct their ships and fight with them.

Main inspiration for the game is the board game Galaxy Truckers.

>>149247832
Any tool can be used to make a game that looks exactly like this.

>>149248207
Have you played Reassembly m8?

>>149248207
Thanks

>>149248216
Sure, but I wanted to learn what HE used.

>>149248194
Why the fuck are you breaking the chain
fucking faggot

>>149248207
That looks dope as shit

Specifically, the background looks amazing. The stuff in the foreground is a little jarring in comparison, if that makes sense? Like, in tone and visual complexity and style?

>>149248093
Please stop replying to him. Sometimes we get retards who try to derail the thread or take attention away from progress. Just don't reply to them.

It's weird-ass bullshit that is deadly to the user and shouldn't exist, but don't you dare question it.

Java is atheism. It's spread vocally and for no reason and the people who use Java are actually really bad at it.

Yes, it is a really good game. I try to play every ship building game I can find.

>>149248304
Thanks!

I agree but do not know how to solve it. The concept art had more similarity to the background. But it did not work with the camera system; to detailed and lost silhouette when camera zoomed out.

Is gamemaker pro good for beginners?

Is it worth updating to Windows 10? I use 8.1 at the moment, but if I could, I would still use XP.

I love this

>>149248176
Pretty sure it is.
Game design and level design is NOT ideaguying as long as there's some thought put into it.

>>149248620
Pro does not have much more to offer than Standard, besides no splashscreen.
But Game Maker in general is definitely a good choice if you've never programmed before.

>>149248595
That looks much better, and could be made to work with less clutter (meaning fewer small details) and more attention paid to the silhouette. The almost cartoony foreground definitely is not the way to go with the background as is.

Literal spyware that can't fully be disabled
Frequent forced updates that could break shit
Possibility of breaking compatibility with your current install
Scans over your files and phones home (hope they don't see that CP and redirect it to authorities!)

Cool thanks I just wanted to make a little smalltime jrpg with sprites.

>>149248620

Yes. Try the free version first.

>>149248620
You do not need to use a premade engine for 2d stuff.

Really want to make a game for space jam but I have no good ideas :S

>>149248872

Why not?
Is it not easier to do it with a premade engine?

>>149248620

Who knows, this why we have jews and artists milking naive people like this.

>writing in game
The dedication needed to make a game solo with a lot of text is pretty fucking autistic.

How about you make gameplay instead of a JRPG?

>>149248620
Just get the free version, it's almost exactly the same. As far as I've heard you can even remove the splash, though I own pro, so I can't confirm that.

The two things pro gives you, texture group options and native compilation, won't even be used until you're making a serious game.

>>149248814
Thanks! You've made this decision easy.

>>149248912
2d games are extremely trivial already. Everyone will laugh at you if you use it for a 2d game.
