So I've been looking at Godot Engine and am considering moving to it from Gamemaker Studio. Is this a good idea? Everyone here seems to use gamemaker for 2D stuff. I know that gamemaker is easier for beginners, but are there any real reasons to use it over godot?

I M&M-ified my water, so you can walk on it but you take damage, which is "drowning". To get this in a reasonable state I had to change my clock from ticking ever 5 minutes to every 1 minute, so that's a thing now. To avoid taking water damage, you can cast Water Walk or level up the Swimming skill. These exist in the game, but they're not functional yet. I also want to add a check that only causes you to drown if the water you're in is over 200cm deep.

I also made it so enemies no longer can walk on water. At some point I may have sea creature enemies so I'll figure out how to do that when the time comes.

That's all for tonight though. I'll finish it up tomorrow.

It's hard for me to tell if the game is too hard, since as the dev I know all the secrets to the game so I know what to expect and can clear it pretty easily. I'm wondering if it's the same for everyone else.

TODAY'S DEBATE: What happened to the uncanny valley?
No one mentions it anymore even for things that clearly would have been defined as such in the past. Historically uncanny valley works https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley#In_computer_animation_and_special_effects are now being redefined by revisionists in 2016 as perfectly fine looking. Were so many uncanny valley works made on big production value projects that it simply became normalized to the point that no one notices anymore?

Can't we just stop with the jams every 2 weeks? I want to participate but I also want to work on my main game.
Next month there's DDX, and after that there's Halloween Jam. Can't we leave it like that?

First of all, even if I understand the term, it's stupid. I can not believe they couldn't think of any better expression for this phenomena.

What happened is Japan, plain and simple. Just like you can tell which cartoon is western and which is eastern, you can tell which animation is from Japan and which is from the west. As people got used to anime, they also got used to Japanese 3D.

I think it still exists, this video with edgy DMC guy shows we still have a ways to go imo. The reason it's not often seen anymore is because human characters are stylised even in very small ways for the most part these days (lack of a push for realistic skin is one that springs to mind).

Ah, sorry. I'm not watching the show, and I'm just only aware of its existence.
Well, if Romanian names doesn't ring any bells for you, maybe you can take a chance at Hungarian names, since in Transylvania (aka Erdély), there were and still are many Hungarians.

I don't know if you are familiar with Diablo, but in Diablo 2, they made a mini boss based on Elizabeth Báthory's story. Basically she's a female Dracula, it is said she was bathing in the blood of virgins. So if you want your character has some tribute, then I suggest the name Elizabeth or, if you want to go full out Hungarian, Erzsébet.

There's no difference between her and most of the people here on /agdg/. She has something to show for it.

Where's your fucking novel /agdg/?

>>150386668

It's a thing when you did something wrong. The example in your picture has wonky anatomy, the shaders are shit compared to what we got now, it looks too clean. You know how most of the time imperfections is what adds the realism in the end, from grime and wear on the model/textures to post screen effects which mimic camera lenses (things like lens glares you would want to actually avoid if you were a photographer)

Now today we have so many tools like 3d scans and 3d sculpting we don't have the limitations the people had back then (implying you are a big budget studio and have experts working for you) I can imagine someone box modelled the person in your picture for thousands of hours because even the traditional modelling tools were subpar compared to today, and no professional production today would boxmodel a model like this.

There are still problems today, like skin and hair. Sometimes people look too waxy, sometimes too shiny.

Assembly, C++, and C are the fastest languages. They're in a class by themselves. Using literally anything else will cut your framerate in half, if not worse.

Lisp, Forth, and C++ are the most expressive languages. They give you the power to create your own abstractions, instead of being limited by whatever the language designers thought you would need.

One language is in both of these groups.

Lisp can run about as fast as C# or Java, so it would be acceptable as a scripting language if most of your engine (physics, rendering, entity and component management) could be done in C/C++ and just provide hooks for Lisp functions. But Lisp doesn't work that way.

Besides, it's garbage collected.

A procedurally generated shmup where you are the final boss. At the start of a level you get to see the protagonist and what kind of fighter he's piloting, so you can plan accordingly. He could for example be using a lot of missiles good against small cannon fodder, or he could have a super focused laser beam good against bosses, or some other combination of classic shmup weapons, bombs and wingmen.

Every wave you get a selection of things you can buy or sell, for example you can buy cheap cannon fodder, minibosses and stage bosses or you can "sell" upgrades to the protagonist like 1-ups, extra bombs, weapon and fighter upgrades etc. Every enemy that the protagonist kills nets both you and him cash to buy more things with. At the end of every stage, you get to buy different upgrades and build up your final boss section by section. The goal is to get the protagonist as jacked up as possible with upgrades while maintaining a solid enough income that you can actually beat him at the end.

==|AGDG Weekly Recap|==
Game Name: Super Space Jam Jetpack Robo Turbo
Dev Name: nurikabe
Tools Used: Unity, Tiled, SAI
Website(s): https://nurikabe.itch.io/
Progress:
+ created 4 maps and released demo in time
+ game flow and level transitions working
+ scripting system functioning and basic narrative set up
+ many changes to enemies
+ sounds and music
- started work on a navmesh generator and pathfinder but abandoned due to time
- many resolution and pixel rendering issues with the engine

>>150393576
heavy rain was as deep down the uncanny valley as you could possibly get, which was an improvement at the time but you gotta get over that hurdle

>>150393582
I love your game, anon. It has good ambient atmosphere, the bullet time sections are fun, and the writing is enjoyable. With more time I think it can be a pretty good game (even a scary game). Keep it up!

My only complaint is that the movement needs some time to get used to. You don't get any momentum from pushing yourself into a direction, and stop almost immediately.

>>150393803
Thanks for the feedback anon. The movement has been tricky for me and I've been flipping between using direct velocity or forces. The problems that I run into with using a lot of momentum are that its difficult to make fine movements that are required for dodging bullets, and it also lets the players fly through the level faster than I might like. On the other hand direct velocity doesn't feel right for this game. Currently I'm using very strong forces and counter forces but its unstable and if you look closely hachi is jittering constantly. I'm going to need to keep tweaking it until I find something better.

>>150393863

>>150393975
Well then since you're obviously hot shit how about you give me a viable solution then.

the game isn't tetris I only used it as a sample Image.
Here's the premise:
It's a animation heavy fast paced rhythm game.
At any given moment I will have need to have access at least 500 frames of animation spanning 64 sheets(due to image size constraints of the device) at roughly 14MB of space.

Loading and unloading Textures to the memory during game play isn't viable since it will be breaking the action causing stutter.

>>its all androids fault ;_;

Well yes it is, since the DalvikVM garbage collector forces the memory management out of my hands and is force implemented and can't be turned off unlike ANY OTHER PLATFORM(where it runs just fine).

Tell me, tell me how it's my fault. Give me a workaround.

yeah I'll be messing with the cloudpuffs more at some point soon, they need work. as for your question about how the tank rights itself, basically the way it works is whenever the tank isnt in an upright position it has a very high friction. what this does is when the tank falls over, it begins to roll until it naturally rights itself. this looks good and feels nice too i've found

its ok to just be art guy right?

Is there a reason in 3d modeling to use only quads?
Is it bad to use a tri or 5 vertices?

>>150397103
I'll really check that out, Thanks senpai

these are for you mcnulty

>>150398190
stick to quads, i think tri's are ok ? ive only been modelling for like a year and change

>>150398190
It makes animation easier and also allows you to select quad loops/rings which is useful for a whole lot of reasons.

>>150398190
>Is there a reason in 3d modeling to use only quads?
no
>Is it bad to use a tri or 5 vertices?
5 vertices seems bizarre unless you're modeling specifically something that uses those but tris are fine

>>150398190
Tris are OK
Ngons (5 or more) are NEVER, EVER OK

The reason you want to use quads and keep a nice topology as much possible is that it makes it easier to create a high poly version of the model, and helps with animation

>>150398190
Quads subdivide and deform better because they create more consistent edge flows

Triangles are okay as long as they don't cause smoothing errors, everything is triangles eventually.
There isn't really any legit reason to have a finished model with 5+ point ngons

>>150384270

not sure why he gets so much hate, because he made it with a demo that's barely playable with 99% of assets not being his? He doesn't seem like a bad guy, could have immediately gone total jew but he didn't.

>>150398190
Use quads as much as you can, tris only when necessary.
n-gons only for a mesh that wont deform ever.

What about shapes like barrels? They could have 8+ sides, and the ends are flat n-gons. Don't engines just convert them to triangles anyways, so it wont affect anything?

>>150397976

Thanks. Trying modeling again so trying to figure out all this.

>>150398835
you probably want to manually triangulate them to keep shading consistent, either triangle strips or cap it with an extra vertex in the middle

any n-gon can be represented with quads and tris

>>150398663
Stealth is ahead though.

>>150398835
The idea is that you as a human are better able to decide how the topology should be, the engine will just slap in a bunch of edges that might fuck up.

Alright, it's clear now that you are just bullshitting. No one uses triangles to make models. And no, quads aren't easier to make flat, they are exactly the same amount of easy as any face. In fact Blender has an option to make all faces flat no matter how many vertices they have.

So I have a finite state machine for my character. What's the most logical way to split up the states? Should it only be states for when actual mechanics change?
For example states: "Ground", "Air", "Swimming", "HitStun"
Or should it be like "Ground_idle", "Ground_moving", "Air_idle", "Air_moving", etc etc

this, speed up the road

Is that a screenshot of something you've been working on?
If yes, it's progress, if no it's not progress.

That's a cool effect.

I don't know how this lighting-shadowing thing will work out in the long run. Maybe you should also color the text, or use some alpha on the non-talking character.

nice traced sprite, man.

>>150402505

still not feeling it

>>150402578
where is your sprite?

>>150402632
other than adding in motion blur or other crazy effects, I don't know what else to do.
Zooming out at speed is not an option like original GTA.

>>150402578
Do you even placeholders, anon?

>outside of /agdg/ i can't imagine there's strong dislike for him, but then again, i havent actually checked

You didn't even do the bare minimum of checking the video's comments

>>150402764

move the road texture at a faster speed.

>>150402765
Anon, do you even know what happened to that one dev that used a placeholder from cave story?
/agdg/ killed him, he's dead now.

Then it affects mobile performance and obstacles on road move too fast for player to react to.

>>150402887
why is he still posting then

>>150403041
That's his ghost, anon.

Placeholder sprite, dear anon. I will change it once my spritegirl is free to work
