Yes because having to scroll a fucking mouse wheel is so much effort. And that useless garbage might be useful for someone else.

So in GameMaker how do I make stuff... "right".

I see tutorials where the keyboard and stuff directly controls the player which is fine for a really basic game, but if you want to do stuff like navigate menu's it seems terrible.

If I was doing it in anything else I'd do a control class that took care of everything, managed states and handled all input (menu, game, etc)

Same thing in Gamemaker? Just make an invisible object in the room that is your control class/input handler?

I assume it's the same for most things like that.

Trying to build it right out of the gate instead of fucking around and fixing shit later. All these tutorials I'm watching are garbage for any kind of game that isn't -just- control the character.

Guys I'm trying to implement player collision with terrain and stuff and I can't figure it out. Right now I've been determining player z based off a heightmap, but if I add extra geometry like houses and stuff it wouldn't work because I'd have to adjust the heightmap accordingly and that'd be too much of a hassle. How can I go about determining the vertices nearest to me out of all the floor geometry in the entire map (ground+additional geometry like houses in order to determine player height based off of the plane between the nearest three vertices) without cycling through all of the vertices in the current zone since that'd be way too resource intensive?

Progress, Lads (n' Lasses ;] )!!!!

So I'm thinking of making a RTS/Econ sim like Cultures. 2D or 3D doesn't matter, but I'm trying to decide on a game engine that can handle a bunch of AI driven units at once, pathfinding, and complex AI. I'm not sure how far I'll get with this considering I'm a novice, but I'd love to try out programming AI.

>>149824381
Well for one thing, fog isn't a thing in sub-freezing temperatures.

>>149824381
The fog is a little too dense for me. The character is standing on ice, right? If so, everything reads well and looks good.

>>149824381

>>149824598
I guess that's true, do you think that is important to note in a fantasy setting or can I get away with something like this? Any idea what I could replace it with for some more atmosphere?

>>149824615
Thanks, I agree the fog is a bit too dense, I'll lighten it up. And yes that's ice. Thanks!

>>149824054

That thing is tiny. What's the point?

>>149824551
Unity/Unreal would do

>>149824381
I feel like it moves too quickly right now anon.

If you pixelate the fog I'd hope it matches visually with the snow falls and if you have rain, it match that visually. I think it looks good as is, but maintaining a consistent visual style will help you stick to creating assets and moving forward.

Don't fall victim to analysis paralysis.

>>149824521
Sorry for the stupid question I've just never done a 3d game before with terrain and stuff more complex than just a heightmap. I don't really know much about raycasting or how to program it, I get the concept I just don't really get how to determine if things intersect with the ray w/o checking if it intersects with every polygon in the collision mesh. Are you getting what I'm saying? I can't find raycasting related stuff thats not for creating 3d perspective from 2d maps. Could anyone point me to like an online article or anything regarding it?

>>149824838
I'm sorry I just don't have the anal capacity of a pickup truck like you do. It does it for me.

>>149825189
it's cool but like with all VR games the lack of haptic feedback means you're going to get into tons of situations where the display can't actually match the player and then you'll be out of sync

What's better?

5 HP and attacks deal 1 a piece

or

500 hp where standard attacks deal 100 dmg a piece

in other words should I have big numbers for the sake of having big numbers?

>>149825356
this is why it's a good idea to use established engines who have already figured all this stuff out and have tons of documentation

this is where things like quad/oct-trees and stuff come into play to minimize collision comparisons

>>149825289
For now, but I'm going to implement ZoE-style boosting movement.
>>149825379
The player will never be out of sync, since it shows the player's hands inside the cockpit in addition to the giant mecha hands. As long as "your" hands match IRL movement, it should be fine.

>>149825432
It looks better to have whole numbers than decimals desu senpai. You should start out with 50 HP and attacks deal 10 a piece and then work your way up. If you start with 5 hp and attacks deal 1 a piece then if you introduce any randomness you'd still get very similar whole numbers but if you start with 50 hp and attacks deal 10 when you include randomness you could get like from 1-10. Ya know what I mean?

>>149825432
It mostly boils down to your minimum damage, or if there's randomness in your damage. Like Final Fantasy having 999 max HP while Fire Emblem has 60, as there's no randomness in Fire Emblem. Little HP with randomness results in too much variance.

How many of you actually planned out your game and made design documents.

Holy fuck is it useful when you're actually planning to make something. Doing these in school was fucking stupid because the scope was tiny, but its insanely useful here.

>>149825432
this is something FF games do really well. you typically start around 20-30 damage and end up in the thousands by the end. there's a lot less room to balance things if you have bigger numbers and players enjoy the progression more of gaining 10 damage every level rather than 1 damage every 2 levels. that said, if the numbers are too big they start to feel meaningless and the player can't accurately judge how "valuable" an increase is

You actually just answered my question by bringing up quad/octrees. Would it work to take in all the collision geometry at the start, position it properly, then split it into essentially square cells (like a quadtree) and then do the raycasting and check for collision with the collision geometry in that cell?

My current plan is finish the demo, and then go back and write up a real design spec detailing both features and implementation plans. I think it'd be really hard to do without making some kind of prototype first, and I'm learning a lot about what I want and what I don't want, and how to structure the code better in the future.

Also reposting from last night. Implemented status effects and a minimap placeholder/clock. This is the fire spikes status effect.

>>149825961
It's not that bad, it's a relatively small size one (small fenrir the wolfdragon from baddragon), it's a little painful to take out when you're done and everything but it's really satisfying and filling to have it in and its actually surpisingly easy to get it in.

Looks good, anon. What are you making this in? Controllers are obviously Move, but is it achieved on PC with some hacks or are you actually devving for PSVR?

Also, good thinking with the "real hands on controller, robo hands elsewhere". I was thinking about something similar (Except giant robots like Megas XLR, not mechs). So I am interested in how well that idea works.

Using Unreal 4 w/ SteamVR PSMove plugin. I'm devving it for Rift/Touch and Vive, but I can't afford a Vive and I'm waiting for Oculus to respond to my request for a Touch kit.

>>149826114
Mine are usually just more in depth "to do's" like if I was making a platforming game I'd have a priority list and things like that

>High Priority
>Player movement
>Player collisions
>Player attack
>Basic Enemy movement
>Basic enemy collisions
>Basic enemy attack

Then Low Priority would be stuff like
>Player combo system
>Player stat system
>Movement restrictions (can't multi-jump or whatever)
>Attack restrictions

Things like that.

I also like to have a loose structure for my what the systems relationships are going to be, and skeleton out the classes so if I needed to have like a Camera Managing Class I'd figure out everything I need the camera to do in the design document before fucking around implementing shit.

Doing iw tih a design document also helps to structure your coding so you can break things down into segments that are simpler to implement.

Create a take damage function in whatever class your character and enemy classes are inherited from and have that function return final damage and take an input of raw damage. So for example player does 5 raw damage to enemy (player is not told he does 5 raw damage) that 5 raw damage is now processed in that function and mitigated or whatever based on the stats of the enemy or however you're doing it, it then deals the mitigated damage to the enemy or whoever is taking it and then returns that value to alert the player of how much damage he ultimately did (if that's needed)

Hilarious.

Depends on the context of the game.

Do you want them to be "scary" visually or in gameplay?

If you're familiar with Bloodborne, I think Orphan of Kos nails both. Has a really uncanny appearance, but is also deceptively fast which makes the fight intense.

I think you basically need to make the boss have a surprise factor, or subvert your expectations. Small bosses are usually associated with speed, and large bosses are usually associated with slowness. So if you have a large boss that's actually really fast it can be scary to deal with. Unpredictability is also pretty huge. If your boss has a set pattern it becomes a joke.

Then theres the standard stuff, the "juice". Sound design, animations and such.

I actually think Orphan of Kos is a perfect boss in all aspects. Really great design, really solid encounter, difficult and satisfying when you finally beat it.

I'm seriously considering recording my entire game dev time (including artwork, sound, and coding) and releasing it alongside my game as a full tutorial series on how to actually make a game from start to finish.

its a custom font

https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/pizzadude/firewerk/regular/
and
https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/fonthead/asimov-sans/regular/
are similar

In my game (C++), all of my buttons use callbacks to perform some function. The callbacks have to be static. This works fine for things like changing settings or switching game states, but since static functions can only work with static member variables, I can't do anything that affects some object on the screen.
Specifically, I want to make a button that causes an object to move across the screen. Obviously the object can't be static, so is there anything I can do?

Do what link to the past did with foggy areas and lighting. Considering your sprites aren't even shaded you can't afford to have detailed effects, it creates a big mismatch of art style.

Lets recreate a link to the past Zelda with new levels bosses and story line. Who is with me?

>>149830790
well you should fix whatever problem you're having that forces your callbacks to be static

You could use std::function to the callbacks can capture variables, or you could pass to your static function some context that it can use to access the objects you're talking about.

I thought all callbacks in C++ had to be static? I Googled how to use a non-static function as a callback, and most answers involved extremely complex workarounds, or just said "you can't."

>>149834696
>I made a kind of workaround a performance issue,
What was your performance problem? Logic or rendering?

>>149834382
That's how it is in C++ dude.
Either you make an object that has a callback function and make anything that needs the callback inherit from that (remember that you can do multiple inheritance) OR make a static function.
Callback systems in this language are a massive pain because functions aren't first class like some other languages.

>>149834382
No, if you use lambdas or std::bind you can bind member functions to object instances so you can have non-static callbacks. It's really trivial to do, too.

You want to make me interested in your deep and meaningful moral choices? Make them not so black and fucking white. Make the outcomes of your choices not have some fundamental effect in the character progression system like inFamous and Fable.

Hell, just make your choices fucking matter. So much shit like who lives and dies in games like The Walking Dead and Mass Effect have zero impact because they just kill off your other option, or backseat the character completely, making it the same baseline for everyone.

I've thought about shadows, but I've decided that from a gameplay perspective I want the game to be purely top-down, not isometric. I did have shadows once, and bombs used to fall towards the bottom of the screen, but I found those visual effects kind of clashed with the otherwise purely top-down gameplay

It might be something I return to, though. It's easy enough, and it would be cool to see plane shadows pass over ground units and the background

How hard would it be to literally make Undertale? I've used rpg maker a lot but I have no idea how you'd even program overworld NPCs with dialog and action trees and an event system

keep up the good work! although pure c + opengl puts you square in the "absolute madman" category

Day 9 of trying to make video games

I got literally nothing fucking done today except more dithering on the damn title screen image and it's still not fucking done

This was a mistake

Admittedly that's partially because I had other shit to do today but this could have been spent making actual content or bugfixing

Postan progress of my archer tower.
Things left to do:
1. A door.
2. Grass texture n shizzle.
3. Some archery targets.
4. Probably will put a roof on that tower to look even better.
5. Some gravel or stones in the grass.
And then I'll import the shit into the game.
