Don't focus on little tweaks until you have your framework down. You'll be drowned in feature creep.
Make an entire game of "it just works" and then go and tinker your input until it feels smooth. Carefully plan your sounds to assist in reaching orgasm. And graphics maybe too, I guess. Who cares about graphics.

Everything's real jerky and I can't figure out why.

I couldn't figure out how to get my character to turn and move relative to the camera's position on my own. So I just took Unity's shitty stock controller and tweaked it. I think the problem's gotta be with how my animator is setup.

Oh well, might as well do what >>149878960

>>149879740

Maybe your issue is the misleading animation, do you have a walk to blend between?

Also are you using root motion for normal walking? I've personally never been a fan of doing that.

Nudge stray titties without arousing too much attention to yourself. One point per instant contact, five points per second of prolonged exposure, multipliers for quick combos. Between each round, the main character has dreams of extended consensual groping, something he will never experience.

I think I'll need 80k for me, two guys, office space and other costs for a year. I'm not trying to make a triple A game, nor am I inexperienced. I want to make something good enough for early access with that money, and go from there. I have modding and QA experience, and I'm OK at 3D, design and I am a business development student in a non-IT field. I have about 20k I can put in myself.

>>149880027

if you're going interface heavy, just use unity.

valhalla was made in game maker and papers please was made with haxelflixel, although the dev who made that game has switched to unity as well.

>>149882446
>>149882545
Not actually half bad. Unity's inbuilt UI is stupidly powerful, and exposes everything from the projection matrix used to how you define your anchors.

Might be a bit overkill though. It could be helpful for being able to play and see what looks nice though.

>>149882743
Usually if you can't beat it yourself it's a sign that it's going to be nearly impossible for someone else to do it. In my experience it's best to aim for "easy, but not mindless" for yourself to give randoms a hard time.

Haxe is a language, not an engine

you may be thinking of HaxeFlixel, HaxePunk or others

>>149883358
You can render everything to a pixel perfect resolution if you want. Nothing stopping you, and it even has starter kits set up for that purpose.

>>149883498
What anon says here is important though.
My #1 use of Unity is just to quickly get something on the screen while considering engines. The sooner you can have a small, mspaint shitty game the sooner you'll be inspired to actually finish it.

>>149883358

Yes. You can have pixel perfect rendering, but you have to fiddle with a bunch of settings for each project to get it right. It's tedious, but you have to do it only once.

>>149883358
I think that only applies to using 2D sprites outside of the UI system. It is solvable but is a pretty big pain in the ass. Half pixel offsets are fucking up my shit though.

That's really depressing.

In top down (Diablo camera) games, how do you handle the case where there's something between the player and the camera? Do they just engineer levels so that it never happens?
I've been playing Torchlight for ages trying to figure out what they do but I just can't notice it. It seems like it's a problem that's so well solved that you don't notice the solution.

>>149886997
Pretty much it comes down to level design as you guessed. There are workarounds, for example in torchlight the player's silhouette can be seen even if you're standing behind a solid object but generally you want to design your areas so that there's no or minimal obstructions on the camera's side of the scene.

Why not? The market is made up of people. People are not (all) self-interested agents as economic theory models them. People, in general, don't like unfairness when they are made aware of it. It's why there's a market for free range eggs or fair trade clothes - people are willing to pay more for a fair working environment.

It's not unfair if you spend 5 years on a shit game and nobody buys it because it's shit. Caged eggs are still perfectly edible, it's not like that example is a choice between an inferior product and a superior product.

That's interesting - so I guess the game map only ever slopes upwards as the character moves towards the top of the screen.

it can slope downwards, just by less than the camera angle +/- vertical FOV.
This is (probably) why these types of game use a low FOV and don't let you change it.

marketing doesn't mean shit if the game looks like a shit game.

firstly that is a mecha game. a game that is a niche.

secondly it has pixel art for the type of game that would feel better for a normie if it had 3D models. liking pixel art in such type of game is niche.

the game relies on two niches, which might not overlap at all. I mean, how many players specifically will like isometric pixel art mecha games. More people like pixelart games, more people like isometric games, more people like mecha games than people who like isometric pixelart mecha games.

IMO their failure was thinking that nostalgia features are liked by people for what they are rather than for what the specific nostalgia features usually come bundled with.

This is literally never the grounds to decide between then two.
Use a struct to abuse copy-by-value functions.
Sprite A might be blue. We assign sprite B to be the colour of A.
If A changes at a later date, it's likely that we don't want the colour of B to change.

>Do they use 'struct' to indicate PODs
Yes, this.
It's like asking why people use for loops instead of while loops. You can get the exact same functionality from both, but they each imply different use cases. A c-style struct ensures that the size of the overall struct will be no bigger than the sum of the sizes of the data. With classes no such assumption is made. This can matter for APIs like OpenGL vertex buffers where you must just pass a stream of arbitrary data and a format.

The difference is in meaning. Like I said, there's no difference between a while loop and a for loop except for the meanings we associate with them. 'struct' implies c-style usage with only public members, no constructor, no vtable etc.

Finding niche forums relating to your games and finding the community that fits in with your game market type this is the key to marketing finding your specific audience. For example, if you have a specific game based on a very niche kind of puzzle games you would find online websites relating specifically to those kind of puzzles posting it there

Good sources also reddit, twitter, emailing gaming industries relating to your games, emailing youtubers etc

Do it like all sane people do it. Allocate a big ass chunk at the start and do your own allocation solution with that. Use winapi's virtualalloc if you want to set a specific starting address for your chunk, so you can debug more nicely.

WordPress is not static, it requires php and MySQL.

You might want to try Joomola, if your server has php support and an SQL database installed. If not, then sites like GitLab and GitHub always mentions this Jekyll thing, but I really don't know what that is or how it works, but as I see it's some sort of actual static site editor, generator, so you might want to check that.

This isn't Democrats vs Republicans here, m8.

An intelligent developer listens to both, the experts on the field and the normie consumers. The key is the skill of interpretation. You can get a lot of valuable feedback from normies if you know how to interpret their feedback. Some normie feedback is legit at face value. Some normie feedback is worthless sperging. Some normie feedback is mixed between both. You need to process that feedback. Most often the thing they complain about has nothing to do with the actual reason that sets them off. So you must distill their feedback and find what "really" caused their sperging. If you can master that skill, you are golden.

Also, I don't think that a percieved flaw in poster's character, has any bearing on the correctness of that post.

I wrote a memory pool once it wasn't fun at all so I'll only do it if I really need the performance improvement.

How is it supposed to be 'fun'? It's a piss simple thing

Because anything AGDG makes requires that
Basic heap allocation will more than suffice

Are wee looking at a corridor? Well, based on those colors, I would say black and white. Maybe with others it would be different.

Can anyone familiar with cmake/building BOX2D tell me why cmake fails with ADD_LIBRARY glfw without source when everything is right there?

It's not a problem when only one platform matters.
What are you going to suggest, mobile? Consoles?

I think it's because there was a lot of casting and lists and I don't like those. But maybe it was the fact I had to make my own list class. I don't know. All I know is that I hate memory pools now and I don't to make one unless I have to.

>>149886240
whoa, that was me and it was like, 10 threads ago. surprised somebody's picked up on it lol.

I'm pretty damn sure you can use the STL with your own custom allocation
