Do you guys recommend any books or videos to jump into c++ before using UE4? Or should the video tutorials they provided be enough? Want to learn from beginner to more advanced topics before moving with it.

console pet dev here
i'm thinking of working on a sequel
i will be adding 2-frame animations for each pet so you can visually appreciate your best friend
also dungeon crawling
anything you guys would like to see? very open to ideas/suggestions to give this game more direction (beyond being the most realistic pet simulator available)

>People are genuinely afraid of lewd games

Why?

i am a young artist looking to work on games with concept art or stuff, where can i go to find interested developers?

>>150622026
They aren't afriad, they are annoyed that is an artist oriented jam, like waifu jam was.

>>150622026
Lewd "games" are always more lewd than actual game.
They're also 80% art and 15% writing. Game mechanics barely even matter.

>>150622026
Problem with lewd games for me is that you can't freely show them around like other games. They are also art intensive, pixel art or low poly doesn't work so well with lewd. These two factors alone make it an unsuitable theme for a jam.

I need help /agdg/, someone with custom engine here? I decided to make one and I'm really struggling with it.
It's not the coding part, I know C++ very well for almost 3 years now and SDL2 isn't really that hard either, my problem is the structuring part.
I mean I could start right away and write code and eventually came up with a game, but my real goal is to make something more reusable and maintainable.
I'm trying to do the component entity system thing, but I just can't, could someone guide me?

i made a game with similar art, a while back called "tiny car traversal"

link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26630920/tinycar_traversal%200.13/tinycar_traversal%200.html

its a long shot. but is this inspired by that, by any chance? (cuz thatd be awesome, but if not, play my game and get inspired or think wtf is this shit or wahtever)

fun trivia: that menu image was fanart drawn by blockhead dev, which only oldfag agdg'ers will know who that is

why the fuck arent driving mechanics carried over to other genres? its pretty obvious that simple movement mechanics were mastered and old as fuck like 10 years ago. i guess its the narrative tropes, but those got stale as fuck ages ago. burrito game seems to "get it" that regular movement sucks now, but AAA devs where is my road rash/zombie game crossover? where is my skate mechanics meets a heist style FPS game. what the fuck are theey even doing just churning out the same shit that got stale 2000 millenia ago. FUCK.

ok im done with spoilers but tinycar was inspired by Muppets Racing on PS1, and their obstacle course mode so you should check that out for inspo. + your game looks good, but depth blur is a meme, use distance fog/lower saturation textures like a pro

Look up ECS, and structure your engine to do the same.

That's the future of game engines.

the game was always intended to be billboard-based 2.5d and gm:s' repertoire of functions seemed to be enough for what i wanted to do, but the performance is a bit of a concern here.
debugger shows that game logic itself is very fast, but when a lot of particles get on the screen and action gets hot, the excess number of frames doesn't quite satisfy me and while it's always more than enough to keep a steady 60fps and that's without yyc, i'm a tad worried about weaker machines.

Are you batching properly? If your logic is not what's affecting FPS then you need to make sure all those effects are properly batched.
Don't forget to cull things, no sense in rendering off-screen sprites.

>>150625259
Not sure if you're using any shaders but as far as I see all the effects on screen in that webm can be done in one draw call,maybe two if you use different alpha blending modes. I assume you put all those textures in a single larger one right?

If you're worried about how it performs on toasters, you should upload a demo for testing, some of us have old machines that we use to test on and we could try it out for you. No use of optimizing without knowing it'll actually have any effect right?

right now the game is devoid of any custom shaders and activation of different blend modes
all the billboards aside from the statues (which are a part of the stage models which uses a single texture) have set up specific depths in order to be drawn in correct order, as otherwise gm:s has some wonky ass behavior with alpha values and z-buffering.
most of the particles are grouped together in particle system objects that are responsible for drawing the particles in 3d space, which built-in systems can't do
i've been considering having a single object with the sole purpose of sorting the billboards and actually draw them, though the textures need to be a factor here too in order to minimize the number of swaps

i have a couple of toasters in my disposal, so i'll compile the game and boot it up on them to see how they perform. i'll consider uploading a demo too when the time comes

No. You call those things base classes. It's not a bad idea by itself.

Most languages (C/C++ and similar ones) can even enforce this by declaring the class "abstract". Abstract classes cannot be created as themselves, they can only be inherited from.

>i wish my game looked as clean as this. how did you even get the lighting to work like this.

My lighting setup looks roughly like this. Pretty standard Unity features.

SMAA for Unity is free, and looks a lot nicer than FXAA at the cost of a bit of performance: Obviously MSAA is king, but you can't use it with HDR in most engines. http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/free-subpixel-morphological-antialiasing-smaa.323572/

A common mistake in Unity is scaling. Make sure that an object that 1 unit long would be around 1 meter in real life. Unity's physics, shadows, Z-buffering and SSAO solutions assume that this is the case, and being too small or large is going to mess things up.

how do raycasts in unity work under the hood

does it not just iterate over all the collides and see if they intersect with the line?

>>150622712
I am in the same exact dilemma right now, down to the choice of language and everything.
Been googling like mad but haven't come across anything very helpful.
I'm still trying to decide what all needs to be implemented... then the question of where/how and coupling and future proofing is what's got me stopped in my tracks.

When you say heat gun do you mean microwave gun?

>>150627640
Very very rough.
The world is divided into sections and it checks the section (the current sectionthe raycast is in) for collisions.
It know where every object is so its just checking the object in each division

>>150628049
Int

>>150628049
unsigned

>>150628049
What are you doing? How high can the value go?
Use an int if you don't need decimals.

Ints are big enough so you don't need decimals anyways. Or use uint if you need bigger.

they're typically used for heating up items that are too sensitive to touch directly with something like a soldering iron, but can still survive the high heat necessary to work with solder. they can also be used on plastic and the like to do whatever you might want to that would involve heating it up first to make it pliable, like punching holes in hard plastic without a drill

Earlier this year i released this mobile game and several people asked me to later come back and post some info on how it's going.

And even though this was the first game where i created a dedicated trailer, webpage, posted on facebook, twitter, unity forums all that together.
It for some reason is the game with the worst download rates i have.

Purchases and ad revenue almost non-existent.
With that i mean like $2-$3 since april in total.

I'll probably settle with a somewhat more story driven , mysterious, VR spoopy game.
Tried creating other VR prototypes, but they would just be play one level after another and i doubt that would catch on.

No idea what else i could do.

It should be motivating.
It took them 5 fucking years to make it.
I've seen 1MA who go faster and put out more interesting stuff.
They were completely unknown in the world and didn't start press until almost complete.
Nothing about their game stands out. The art is slightly shitty boring. The music is just okay. The only thing they have is destructible terrain which hasnt been impressive since 2009.
Basically they were shitty devs with no marketing experience and a bland game.

How did that game take 5 years? Why didn't they look into any funding at all for 5 years? How are you broke yet gain 30 pounds? Fuck.
Good on them for releasing but this is a lesson and motivation to make something good.

Not sure, to me it appears as the most complete one i have developed so far.

Even a thing i slapped together in 1 week has more downloads on google play and apple store than this.

Posts on /agdg/ and /v/'s game dev thread were positive, too.
the rating.. from 2 votes (from strangers, not firends or family members) is 5/5 stars.

Maybe I should just have put [more] money into advertising.
Sending it to some websites for reviews or something.
But i have no idea if that would've been worth it or even worked.
That is probably still something i have to learn.
I'm a dev, not a very public outgoing person who wants to get in direct contact with other people.
Especially if those people can make or break you with a single review they're writing.

>>150634104
get ready for some hard hitting comments

First off, your game title is boring as hell. "Get through"? Really? Something like "Puzzle Pets" or "Animal Antics" would be better that fucking "Get through".

Your game isn't attention grabbing at all. You have animals running around in boring looking maze, solving puzzles that make absolutely no sense. The animals are cute but the environment doesn't tie in to the cute animal aesthetic. You could have made the coins into dog biscuits, and the goal look like a litter box, SOMETHING to tie the game together. Cute animals alone aren't enough to sell your game.

You don't seem to have a core mechanic. Your game seems to be a mash up of a bunch of ideas thrown together into a maze. It makes your game look messy and unfocused, just from the trailer.

Anyway, pick yourself up and learn from this. You've made a finished game and put it on the app store, which is better than 90% of the devs here. You gotta fail before you succeed.

>>150635638

Then i just thought how to make it at least somewhat more attractive, and well.. kittens and puppies as characters and fish and bones as goals.
But yeah, actually nothing more.

> fully destructible environments

All it does is change the sprite on collision and sprinkle some particles.
There isn't even a destruction animation.

my game looks like a really good nes game. I can live with that.

SEO matters for Play store games as well anon, maybe your 1 week game had similar keywords to a more popular app and that's why it got downloads.

Think about rebranding it around hot keywords, learn how to spam properly, and learn some blackhat SEO to get ahead. I was talking to a guy last year who was part of an indie studio, but had to take a year off because he got depressed after having worked on a game for 2 years and having it be a complete flop from day 1 of release.

It's a really tough industry, and you need something extremely viral (like goat simulator or shit like that) or you need to be extremely good at shilling to make a living out of indie dev.

Keep working anon, you are going to make it!

which game is this for?

I find the exaggerated hip width a little too much

It works, almost. For some reason it doesn't remove all the balls from the pit, no idea why. Also earlier it kept giving me these "ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Parameter name: Index" and I have no idea what they mean.

>Trying to learn c# with monogame

Am I even remotely close to knowing how this works?

>>150635316
Hahahaha what

>>150636348

It means you're calling a location outside of an array.
I.e. Array[2] and you call array[3].go()

>>150636215
>like goat simulator or shit like that
oh boy, I recently had some shit in mind.
But I'm not sure if I'd be crossing lines with that concept.
Undisguised a game like i have in mind would be against the rules of quite some stores.
Maybe i should give that a try instead of the spooky one here:

I've done xna for years, no idea. not important.

>>150636568
It's close enough
dis you know how to program before this?

>>150636568
It's really simple anon.

-Once at the start-
1. Initialization Class
2. LoadContent Class

-Every Frame-
1. Update Class
2. Draw Class

>>150635316

>>150636568

I've never used MonoGame, but I don't think you should be loading content inside the MainGameLoop.

>>150636568
I personally put drawing at the end, but it can work the other way around also, I guess.

>>150636348
Keep the balls piling up, it's cool.
Feedback for fucking up, you know?

>>150636805
why did you write class after everything
what is monogame
is this some fucking put-OO-everywhere-because-it's-pixie-dust bullshit?

>>150636945
>why did you write class after everything
To fuck with you.

>>150636878
Not him, but my reasoning for putting drawing first is that after whatever necessary mem copies, it queues up GPU command queues and then you use the CPU idle time while the GPU is working to process input. Otherwise, you're delaying even queuing up the GPU instructions and you have little left to do while it's working.

>>150636342
That's a new one usually people complain about her waist being too small. The body size will be adjustable in the game (I need this feature for NPCs anyway so i can make it available for players as well).

The game will be about a witch running an alchemy shop.

>>150636778
Sorta, I have roughly 8 months of experience with C++ and I mess around a lot with game maker if you consider GML anything other than just scripting.
>>150636805
I see I see, thanks man!
>>150636859
I'm not doing inside it, I was thinking you would initialize in the MainGameLoop and load the content in a separate class.
>>150636878
That's what a previous anon said so you're likely right.

>>150636913
Yeah that was my opinion as well. But I think giving the player a chance to make their game last longer is fine.
Of course these special balls will be much rarer in the actual game. Also the initial plan was to only delete a certain number of balls but i've been having troubles with that.
Luckily I think I just got the right idea to make it work.

>>150636845
nice game

you can't ever punch somebody who is frozen in time twice.

remember that.

How do I deconstruct the point and click adventure genre?

Even Hitler had a girlfriend. That means you're literally less desirable than Hitler.

Go for it, but honestly, learn SEO. Unfortunately the chances of your game marketing itself are extremely low, so you have to make sure you can pull through even if your stuff doesn't go viral (and even viral needs some help nowadays).

Also, make sure you enjoy the project and it's not just a quick attempt to grab some cash. I have burned myself with small android minigames before so I've learned my lesson. Working on something bigger now, might not be successful either, but there's more satisfaction in making something more complex.

You seem to have what it takes to make good games, time to learn how to sell them.
Good luck anon!

I move things around to "sketch" the animation . The frames are redrawn for the finished animation
>implying I finish animations
I'm not sure about what to do with the sword since the character is not strong but should have finesse and the sword is so big and heavy. I'll try someething less flamboyant than a twirl now.

>>150637804
You make it click and point instead.

Fuck I hate searching for sound effects. I never know how to express my needs in search terms.

I need a jingle or something for when you go to bed. Like the sound it makes when the screen fades to black and then back in.

Thanks a lot.

Hope you will find success with your current project!

>>150638285
Exactly, just like that, maybe shorter. Obviously I can't just take that, what do I search for?

>>150638104
Yeah finding that sort of thing isn't fun
