My game is boring? fuck you mate. don't you realize how long it took me to make? You didn't even play it right you total fucking retard. You constantly would click like a fucking dickhead and not at all read anything on the screen. Holy shit I quit making games, this dude is a fucking imbecile of the highest caliber.

That's fucking right anon. What have you done in 2 weeks, have you worked on anything? Have you bled for something you believe in? No, you sat on your fat ass mocking talent, dedication and hard work. You showed absolutely no criticism, just, "duhh i dunno how to play this game so it's boring uhhhhh its too long of a game for me to process."

God the fucking nerve of you. Two weeks may not seem long for your miserable fucking life, but for people with everything to lose. REAL GAME DEVS it's everything to us. How fucking dare you even download my game you ignoramus, you lowest common denominator twat. I'm fully surprised you were able to navigate my itch page and click "DOWNLOAD" Did mommy help you with that you stupid fuck?

For anyone else that played my game, be objective and be fair, don't just be a stupid prat about the whole thing like this stupid piece of shit.

Which monetization scheme for a MMO do you like the most?

1. Pay once
2. Subsciption based
3. Pay to not grind
4. Aesthetics only

idea guy here

first you play as a bankrobber and you rob a bank. then, you play as a security consultant who is tasked with investigating how the bankrobber had gotten in and with improving the security of the place so the bankrobber can't rob the place anymore. the twist? the bankrobber and the security consultant are actually a gay couple.

>>150511237

Does your game have a survival theme? If not, then no. If you really want to though, you could implement it in an optional difficulty mode like Fallout: New Vegas did with hardcore mode.

>>150516004
*so what you're really doing as the consultant is covering up the tracks

>>150515834
pay once - if you are gonna abandon the game two months in
subscription based - if you are gonna be constantly impoving the game in small increments (sort like Paradox Studio dlc's)
pay to not grind - never
aesthetics - pointless unless it has a meme fanbase

>>150516164
What about F2P but with tons of DLCs?

>>150514760

Visual Studio question: is there a way to visualize a parent's class methods and properties on the child class? What I mean is: I have a Fruit class, that has a Color, and a Size property, then I create an Apple class that inherits from it. Is there a way to see the Color and Size Properties while working the Apple class?

I can always go to the other file to check them, but I wouldn't mind having the possibility to toggle some form of parent class visualization while working on it.

>>150515580
I'll take both.
>>150515590
Yeah, I basically just followed a tutorial, eventually I'll warp it into my own thing now that I know how it all works.

4, but free users should be able to get all the aesthetic items too if they are willing to work hard for them. Maybe make the real money bought items last forever while the in-game currency.paid items are only rented and you have to pay for them each month to preserve them.

>Is it the deafult unity one, or a rigidbody or something else.

It's a rigidbody with a custom built controller script that I built from the ground up. I did not take anything from the default Unity controllers, even though I first thought about editing the Unity controller and built on that, but it seemed easier to just make my own instead of trying to decipher what does what.

>how do you handle going around loops

Well, normally the controlls are relative to the Camera, so when you press forward on your keyboard or forward on you Gamepad's Joystick you walk/turn straight ahead from the camera, when you walk left or right the character is exactly at an 90 degree angle to the camera.

When on a loop that obviously does not work because the character turns to the camera, then turns backwards from the camera again while being turned upside down. I tried for a couple of days to get it right, in the end I decide to just switch to a different controlling sceme when on a loop, similar to tank controlls(like in Resident Evil 1) where the camera position doesnt influence the controlls, which means if you press forward your character just walks forward from its curent position. As you walk mostly forward in the loops anyway(as I put booster pads infront of the loops entrance that put the player into the right rotation and you only need to go forwards from there anyway) Maybe I should disable sideway movement on the loops all together as it is not really needed.

Side-scrolling math beat 'em up
Enemies will announce their function and a few seconds later a laser corresponding to it will come out, so you have to quickly figure out how it'll look like and dodge. When you defeat enemies you can pick up their numbers to make your own functions to attack with.

Why is creating smooth movement code so difficult

>Way to ignore the fucking post retard.

You're the one getting offended at a strawman definition of nodev.

Do you really think nodevs here, who spend all day shitposting and posting dogs and polls, don't have a game?

They do. They just spend more time shitposting than finishing it.

The definition of 'nodev' isn't someone who doesn't have a game. It doesn't mean someone who makes small games.

It means someone distracted with something trivial and pointless, as an excuse, that they never complete their game. And that's the case of 99% of game jam games, because they're not feature or content complete. It's barely enough time to get the core game loop polished.

So yes, they're nodevs.

>>150521020

>>150520948
Top is best.
The top lets you really see the characters. The characters are bright and the background is dark, so the characters pop out to the player.
On the others, it's more muddled. You can see the characters but they don't jump out, you have to look for them. Because the background is so big, and it has such contrasting values/colors, it's the first thing the player notices. Which is not what you want.

>>150521334
>>150521360
Thanks.

>>150520948
i like the 2nd background, but the foreground background offends my eyes in all three. Perhaps make stuff in foreground background consist of more than one color so that they won't feel so out of place.

Also, I think that you should make your char more visible not background more boring. Make character bigger? Give more contrast to character?

I like the middle one the most but I have no idea what it looks in action.

Bottom one's foreground is so dark it ruins all the work and detail that went into it, and looks off limits compared to the sunset.

Top one is okay... but it looks like someone quickly turned the brightness of their monitor down. Even the character sprites feel darker (yet they're obviously the same).

I think having characters zip around with a slower moving back/fore-ground will be enough for everything to pop.

at this point, people vote for stealth so that lewd won't take the lead. it was so even yesterday when this poll was started.

some possibly have chosen stealth and lewd both, but I doubt that it is a marginal amount. but also I'd say that there are voters who have picked neither. so, my deduction remains reasonable.

First time poster. I need feedback.

I'm making an action RPG emphasizing high-risk high-reward gameplay. It's not going to be a Musou clone, but instead leaning more towards somewhere between Dark Souls and Devil May Cry, although I don't want to be compared to those games because people would expect a lot out of me that way.

In that regard, I'm not sure what camera system I should have for the game, so I implemented both a Dark Souls style and a more top view style to get a feel for it.

Points raised to me so far:

1. The Dark Souls style will tend to be better for duels (a game with fewer enemies). Since the camera is more zoomed in on your target, you can more easily tell when the enemy is about to attack so you could evade, or when they're open so you can attack.

2. The top view style suggests a more tactical vibe to the whole game, for a game with many easy to kill mooks, or one where it's natural to shift across different enemies in the middle of a combo.

3. Someone suggested I keep the top-view style when encountering normal enemies, and have the Dark Souls style for boss encounters.

4. Rapidly dashing in the Dark Souls style cam is disorienting, so I am thinking of pausing cam movement while in dash.

So far I'm starting to lean toward favoring the Dark Souls style cam, but I'm still open to ideas.

>>150520259
your guy walks slight diagonal, that's because you're not setting the position of your character to be precisely where it's supposed to be at the end of your movement logic

I think Dark Souls is good + maybe zooming out a bit on dash and having the camera soft-stick to your general direction.

But of course, just have all of this toggleable and intensity-scalable in options. So pretty much a combo of them both.

Glad to see you're finally posting here m8.

how about zooming out when you dash and then zooming back in on the character if you don't dash for some time

that way, there's no abrupt movement but you'll still not lose track of what's happening.

What about stealth AND lewd? So you have to be lewd, but also be stealthy about it (e.g. try to masturbate in public without getting caught)

3 and 4 are the best options for money making as it makes it accessible to the widest range of players around the world and age wise. You just have to make sure the pay to not grind thing is more related to in game gold/currency as opposed to exp. You can sell exp boost ie 2x exp or something but not strait up your lvl 100 now!

Depends on the quality and renown of the artist. Lots of people will do it for free as >>150524245 said.

A low grade professional composer is going to charge anywhere from $0-500 per minute of finished music. Cost will increase dramatically from there.

$500 for an unfinished track, which is in line with agdg's """devs."""

Explore INC dev here, downloaded some space jam games. Here's some feedback (1/2):

Gravities
Pretty fun, but it's not clear what colors mean. Hopefully in newer versions (if there will be) it'll be clearer. Looks

like same color asteroids deflect each other.
Visually the game looks simplistic, but still quite pleasant because of it and I'm sure that was your intention.
Don't have a lot to say about gameplay, as the core of it is quite simple (as it should be for games like these).

Also, if you ever do make a new version, port it to mobile. Controls seem to be more fitting for a mobile touch-based game

rather than mouse. I played a similar game with "protection by rotating circles" on mobile, and it felt quite natural while

using a finger.

I have an insignificant complaint because of my shit net, though. Why is this game so big for a 2D game? Is it Unity's

shenanigans?

Cosmic Castaway
A very pleasing visual theme with pastel colours. Tree textures look rushed, though. Other than that, pretty gud. Monsters

also look goofy in a good way.
Gameplay wise, it's collecting ship parts to continue the journey. I'll be honest, it's boring. Luckily, that's the worst

part of the game. The environment feels alive and is pleasant to walk in so collecting ship parts doesn't feel like a chore

but more of a mild annoyance. Gun mechanics feel wonky, but maybe, I'm just simply not used to it.
Intro is 10/10. BGM is good too. I was surprised to see saves being implemented for such a short game.

Space Kujo
This game is 64-bit only, so I couldn't run it since I'm on a 32-bit Windows. Oh well. Judging by screenshots and the fact that it uses UE it's probably visually the best game in the jam.

>>150525085
okay then, make a game themed:

>>150525105

https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/25048/microsoft-xna-platformer-example-is-the-collsion-detection-implemented-accurate/25052#25052

(2/2)

Robbut Assault
I'm not a good player, so this game was almost impossible for me (casul difficulty didn't help much). At most, I could take him down to half his health until I died. Visually it looks good, although fantastic settings made my fps crawl for some reason so I dropped it a little bit.
First spinning attack feels unfair. The moment you get hit once, he pins you to side and you watch helplessly as he shreds you to pieces. Again, take it with a grain of salt, as I'm not a good player mechanically.
Interesting idea (a game based around boss battle only!) and great music, though.

Star Turtle vs. the Galactic Empire
Puzzle game disguised as an action game. Great concept. Can't say much about graphics, but it gets the job done. Overall, I like it.

Tier1
I like how detailed gameplay is. Rockets actually feel like you're firing rockets. Ships are too slow though. I know you're going for realism, but for an action game, they're too slow. Other than that, the game definitely has potential.
One complaint, though: Use higher resolution background if you can.

Lads help me out I'm literally too fucking brain dead to do simple maths

I have a tile and a box. I set the tiles size by dividing the boxes height by the number of tiles (e.g. box is 200px, have 20 tiles, tiles are 10px)

My problem is that I then need to scale the sprite to match this size. The sprite is 100x100 by default.

How the fuck do I do this? I'm sure it's really simple but I need a calculation to get the number to scale by (in the above example it would be 0.1)

Please don't laugh at me, I've been stuck on this for hours

you can very well make such a game and make it fit into the theme that eventually gets agreed upon

also, bees don;t really care about strawberries. they suck nectar from the blossoms and transport the "plant semen" from blossom to blossom. So they actually help strawberry plants to have sex and produce strawberries.

However, strawberries have one deadly enemy - slugs. They WILL eat the shit out of them. Only reliable protection againt them is a pet toad who lives in your strawberry garden and eats those pescky slugs.

Source: I have small strawberry field and a wild toad living in there.

Thanks for playing my game! I'm glad you liked it.

Groovy.

>>150526167
now spend your time out of your life to make that game, fag

(sprite size/ tile size) * box size

Ah, afraid not.
We have a playable build with the old knight sprite, but almost everything is placeholder, and it looks hideous.
Will post gameplay as soon as I get this plague doctor guy done and implemented with some nicer backgrounds.
(I'm just doing graphics - a guy called Razmig is programming)

cheers bro, good luck on finishing your project

>>150526325

I am 90% sure you are arguing with the false flagger himself at this very moment

>>150525865
Good luck. Post progress.

Yeah, seems so. The writing style is the same. That's the trade-off of anonymity.

If that jam wins, I will

tiles/boxsize to get the ratio then mutiply that ratio by sqrt(2) to get the diagnonal then take the square root of the entire thing then mutiply that by the sprite size and finally take the original sprize size and mutiply it by the ratio then add those together and divide by 0.3 to get the average over 3

Thanks!

Apropos groovy, some musician came along and made a demo track for the game:

Sounds pretty cool, I think.

He also made this pic as an icon for the demo, kek

>>150527235
how does the game play anyway? I'm intrigued cause the sprites look cool. is it a platformer, turn-based rpg, etc.?

It looks like he's cranking open a window with his right hand.

>>150527667
That's some good shit right there. I didn't see that image before, but that was the first thing which came into my mind based on your gif.

>>150526093
I'm not really sure what I'm supposed be taking away from this.

Thanks, Anon.

It's going to be a castlemania, but with focus on alchemy instead of magical spells.
You'll be crafting a lot of potions and elixirs, and drinking or throwing them around.
The plot is about the creation of the philosophers' stone.

what's wrong with cranking windows? is it too ancient for a plague doctor?
