How comfy is Photoshop for pixel art and animation? Does it make sense to get a wacom tablet for pixel art?

Hello Googum.

>>150670901
Rust's syntax is extremely consistent, it's just more explicit (which is also a good thing in the long run).

>>150670859

I dont do pixelart as I mostly do 3d, but I dont think Photoshop is the best software to make sprites/spritesheets, sounds cumbersome to me.

>>150670859
A bit of an overkill but its usable.
Depends on how big your sprites are, if they're 32x32 probably not

>>150670859
Photoshop works fine for pixel art. It's not exactly the most ideal program for it since it wasn't designed for it in mind but it has all the tools you'd need. You don't need a tablet but I personally like using one, it just helps speed things up and if you're used to drawing you can use the tablet to make little sketches for your sprites.

>Does it make sense to get a wacom tablet for pixel art?
Absolutely when you start doing more than 16x16
It won't be any use to you if you can't draw though, which is why people tend to stick to low-res and hide flaws/details.

I don't understand what you'd dislike about rust syntax. I had to live in the days where you couldn't close nested templates with >> in C++. Go fuck yourself for not understanding my pain. I wish lifetimes didn't use ' but that's minor because I rarely deal with lifetimes explicitly in rust.

I'm not an artist but I used paint shop pro 7 for pixel art for 10 years. Because 8+ started mimicking photoshop too heavily and I wanted my simple olden days shit. PSPX is when I finally uninstalled 7 and said fuck this whole franchise. I don't do pixel art anymore, that part of my soul and paint shop pro died together.

So what I'm saying is I don't like photoshop for pixel art.

I don't dislike it, it's just confusing looking since I never worked with it before.

Fair enough. I started as a C++ elitist and then had a binge of webdev bullshit with ruby and js, so when I came back and tried rust it felt lovely to me in contrast. On a more useful note, rust traits are everything I wanted to do with templates and never could.

Programming isn't even necessary.
You can get rich from patreon without having a game and just making lewd art, so worth learning.

I know this is surprising, but, you can choose the rewards for your kickstarter. You don't have to offer any input to your design whatsoever. And if you do, you can reserve the right to veto and request people contact you before pledging. That's usually what I see as a warning on those pledge tiers from any competent dev.

I really wanna make a first person dungeon crawler as my first project, but I'm already stumped. Using C# in unity for example I can do
>transform.Rotate(0,-90,0)

>>150672020
its just a placeholder camera for testing movement

>>150673351
Not just no more but less than C++. Most mean roughly the same things, but some are a bit new, such as => pattern matching and macro! functions. But I agree with the sentiment that it's a relatively small jump from C++.

>>150673801
I would implement an object state system, and put the object in a rotation state containing initial rotation, final rotation, time of rotation, and time elapsed. Each frame, any object in this state is interpolated to the new correct rotation and time elapsed updated. When time elapsed >= time of rotation, set state back to "normal".

Elaboration:
The actual game logic is all sequential and synchronous, but you want to suspend it while animations (such as turning left) play. You can do this by using a "coroutine" (they're actually generators) and yielding these animations. You then have a consumer of the generator that is basically a state machine where each animation is a state.

ok im a beer deep and just got reminded of AS and wanted an excuse to post it but you're LITERALLY incorrect in that both samurai and western movies follow a common act structure of someone falling from grace in an up-and-coming land, spend the middle act(s) assembling a new crew, and the final act(s) bringing justice to whoever knocked them down in the first act. this is because both the wild west and the waning days of feudal japan both followed similar history of small autonomous towns being caught up in the endless silent political and loud brush wars, in japan between various warlords and the "legitimate" Edo government and in the american west between various corporate (i.e. railroads and agribusiness magnates), governmental, and local interests

they also feature a similar mechanical focus on honor-based fighting and honor culture in general

also some other stuff i that other more competent movie nerds have written about

>>150676240

So here is a new mechanic i have been working on, let me hear what you think!

So if you do not know, the large ship you see here is controlled by two players, 1 in charge of movement and some weapons, while the other is more damage oriented.

The ultimate ability, which is what i have been working on, unhooks the two modules on the ships sides. When this happens, both players right stick controls one of the ejected modules. They create a sick lightning wall between them which damages enemies, but both players have to be in tune, because if they split too far apart they lose the chain and will do no damage.
The effects still have miles to go and they control like shit, but i think this has potential.

Is this true?

I don't give a fuck either way, but two simultaneous jams kind of defeats the point of a jam. If you don't want to participate in the jam that wins, just make something on your own time.

Is it a necessity for the vertical transition to switch to a new screen like that? I think most games would use a separate screen for the whole vertical part with a camera that can scroll up.

Not that it matters if you prefer it that way, just something I noticed that seemed off.

Help me out here aggy I'm having an inner dilemma.

A few months ago, I began writing out a design document for a potential partner project, where I was going to do the art/writing, and he would do the programming. As of now, he still hasn't decided he wants to do anything with it, and I'm left to do as I please with everything I made.
In the document, I wrote out the backstory of one particular character the protagonist would come across and eventually assist. I'm really proud of the character and want to use them in future projects if possible.

Recently, I've decided I would redraw all the sprites in a game I was working on independently, and I'm presented with a chance to replace my current mc with the character. However, the code/story I've written for this game doesn't really fit the character. Do I scrap the mechanics I have now and add the new mc or do I stick with what I've got and save it for another project?

Don't think that was what he was asking, but yes and no. At some point you want your language to be self-hosting, which means it is written in itself. This is a rite-of-passage for a language. You write a compiler in another language, and then port it to the new language and use the old compiler to build the new compiler.

>build it from another language. i.e. c++ from c, c from assembly
Nah that's not how it works

The trick here is to understand that the source code for your program is actually a piece of data, and a compiled executable is also a piece of data, and you can write a program that reads one of these and turns it into the other

This is called a compiler and you can write in in pretty much any language

Here's a Brainfuck compiler written in Brainfuck
https://github.com/matslina/awib

You could probably write a C compiler in Brainfuck if you hate yourself and want to die

Here's my no references, boxes and tubes approach to a plane. Took about 11 minutes. I'd give it a 4/10, or at least a strong 3.

If you are slow going on your plane it's probably because you are trying too hard to follow your reference, definitely use a reference (even if it's one you draw yourself!).

Also, consider that just because the actual plane is made of pieces welded together, your vertices don't need to be, you can have things intersect at times to maintain edge flow on other pieces of the mesh.

To put it frankly, the entire game. Everything is in the game right now is placeholders from other stuff or mspaint pending original assets.

Originally I wanted to go for a mid 90's arcade/Sega Saturn high detail 2d sorta thing, but I had to settle for 16-bit stuff because it's easier to scrounge around for and rip myself.

If I can't get any assets by the time the game is content complete, I'll release it as freeware.

This is what's being worked on instead of Anubis.

The art looks better, but also too much like castlevania games.

Clarent has the better gameplay hands down.It's like castlevania meets dmc

Tried for an NES look and referenced Tina from Adventure Island

Why is this harder than making the Genesis-like sprite? And after making it, I'm pretty sure I don't want to make the game look NES style. Would still like feedback on what looks good though.

>>150691046

it looks better in the gifs where I can actually see shit

>>150690727
I want to make my own shmup now. c-can we have a friendly rivalry?

>>150691191
Totally agree with this.
Art looks better, but besides that it looks boring, in a "Id rather play SoTN if they are so similar" sense.

i was gonna post goaste but goatse.cx apparently no longer is goastse

fuck this gay earth

i dont really know that game but i think any dark atmosphere game looks terrible in a tiny gif on a white background. it's 1000x times easier to see things fullscreen.

switch the circles around

Smaller size and smaller pallete to work with, of course is going to be mrore tricky.

>>150691579
Yeah no one is familiar with that.

who here doesn't remember that filter?

>>150691772

I guess that makes more sense, but I thought NES sprites were supposed to be easy mode because they're so simple. I've never tried to make one before.

>>150690727
Well, it should be possible for a 90's look... although maybe more early 90's than mid. Is it all ships... like what kind of game is it?

got fewer resources to work with so you can't just use shitty filters and stuff to make them look good

grid aligned (Chip's Challenge) or free move (Zelda) RPG, what's easier?
