I'm guessing it's split up into smaller rooms like a Metroid game? In that case, use large tiles.

>>150960262
Same way you do it in any other engine, split giant rooms into smaller sections.

If it's tile based you don't even need to split anything, just render the tiles you see on the screen.

I will post lewd progress before the next thread.

Elevator pitch for your game. Go!

You can summarize your game and its appeal in a short description....right anon?

>>150960714
That man has some tiny ass legs

How bad of an idea is it to livestream game dev? Both as a means of keeping yourself accountable to a schedule and talking through ideas? Twitch has a section for creative, and I think game dev would fall under it. Likely you would get next to no viewers, but talking out ideas with an even imaginary audience seems helpful.

Does this seem like a colossally bad idea?

>>150960853

Better than having a tiny-ass dick.

>>150960932
Some people actually do that, I'd think it'd be helpful for people starting out if you narrate what you're trying to do

>>150960365
>>150960372
Its not a bunch of tiled rooms unfortunately, and I can't really go that route without changing the game up a lot. Im going to try just drawing a surface the size of the screen with the colour set according to y position, and use tiles for all the detail. Hopefully that works.

>>150960932
Don't expect much of an audience and you'll be alright. Also don't use pirated software or do anything stupid on steam because someone is recording it.

>>150960932
Depends on your taste in music
I often leave streams open just because they have a good playlist.

Personally I'd only do it after you have a little following to maintain at least like 5 viewers, streaming to 1 or 0 people sounds like it'd be demotivating as hell.

My thought process is split it into two separate "shows" on the same channel. Alternate between streaming games and making games. While this will probably split your viewership I know a lot of people watch streams solely for the purpose of someone's voice.

I do get the idea of needing a proper sound track. Music is always important to set the mood while deving.

I am unsure what constitutes "something stupid on steam".

You underestimate how lonely a lot of people are. A lot of folks are just desperate for a human voice in the back ground for what ever reason. An aesthetically pleasing voice is probably one of the most important things to a streamer.

>>150962519
Practice, that's what you need.

I can do thing, code and write. Coding took 4 years of schooling and endless personal practice. Writing took finishing the manuscripts of three novels.

Everything else just needs more practice.

It is also better to specialize than to generalize. Singular great aspects of a game with mediocre other aspects make for a better game than many a bit above mediocre aspects. Appeal to those who favor a particular aspect, being sound direction, art direction, gameplay, writing, or otherwise.

Don't worry pal, we'll all make it.

One of the nicest in-game experiences I've had was on the browser MMO Glitch. It had a chat function, but the bizarre thing was that it was the most chill, easy-going chat I've ever been to. I spent hours just talking to people and trading with them and encountered maybe one troll in months. The whole game itself was just so fucking relaxed.

Of course, it got shut down after a while. The assets (both art and code) were released into the public domain, though: https://www.glitchthegame.com/

This has nothing to do with what you can implement for your specific game, but I was just reminded of it and remembered the assets were free to use.

Shittiest false-flagging this year I think.

Fuck specializing, any of the artistic skills (drawing, composing, writing) takes a lifetime of dedication to get to a remarkable level. Coding is only worth specializing if you really fucking love to code and want to do it all day every day. Better to do a little bit of everything yourself and work on your own project than be a specialist trying to convince people to let you work on theirs.

Of course your game will be shit if you do it this way, but you're screwed either way.

Blacklisted. Stop dodging.

What would you guys say is the best free engine for making 2D games?

I made a couple test projects in UE4 that worked okay enough, mostly because of the appeal of the Blueprint system and not having to touch any code lines.

But nearly everything I see on forums and google searches calls Paper2D in Unreal a joke, that's lacking in features and ease of use compared to engines like Unity or Gamemaker. (And that I'd be better served in the long run by learning code, rather than relying on blueprints). Is there truth to that, or am I being memed?

>>150963794

You might be fucked, aside from modifying the source code.

the nice thing about a hacking game is that your screen is actually your screen, so it can be set anywhere.

a hacking game set in a near future spaceship or satellite would be cool. you could time the orbits so that some computers weren't always accessible.

1MA or death. no one out there gives a shit about you, there is no team waiting for you to join or a company waiting to hire you. you must just like make game at any cost

How much customization is too much customization. I absolutely adore the idea of being able to build something for yourself in a game, but feel as if I am spending too much time.

For reference what is being made is a space ship, the player able to purchase addition to their vessel and make them in an essentially modular "Attach bit into corresponding socket" format.

At what point, in your all's opinions, do rooms become too specific?

No problem, spoopy.

I don't have a Vive so I am not sure, but form what I've been googling you should be able to create inputs in your projects settings that take input from vive controllers, and those inputs should therefore have events that get fired. You'd probably have to run a check if there is actually movement or not, because most probably the event is going to be fired almost constantly. There was a guy who basically pried Vive open and did some investigation. controllers send updates as soon as any part of tracking system has some new data. Lighthouse 1 flashed? Update. Second one? Update. accelerometer detected changes - Update. And so on.

>>150965075
so the player can purchase rooms and add them to their ship in slots? then one room per function that you want in your game.

or do you put big equipment and machinery in slots inside a room?

>>150965032
2-3MA is possible if you have friends, however friends are hard to come by for /agdg/ users.

Also it is still better to specialize than have many slightly above average aspects. A game is defined by its good aspects, as long as the rest are passable. You're not going to stand out by being "pretty good" at everything. A game stands out with a phenomenal singular piece supported by average to mediocre pillars.

I missed what music anon said about the phrasing.
>>150941279
Ah. I see. So the note kinda hangs there and doesn't transfer back to the loop appropriately. Got it. Looping has been a struggle for me when it's not chiptune based, but this is good information.

Thank you music major anon.

>>150965075
As long as the options aren't overwhelmingly numerous (6 is good, 12 is a lot, 24 is only barely manageable, 48 is ridiculous). Also, make every different choice stand out from the others as much as possible.

>>150964856
>you could time the orbits so that some computers weren't always accessible
Brilliant. I love cycles within gameplay, so some resources will be perodically unavailable.

Right now I'm thinking of a colony ship on its way to Alpha Centauri, so maybe theres an automated ship that was sent ahead of you, in orbit around the planet you're trying to get to. But what resources or gameplay mechanic could it offer when its in sight? Navigational aid I guess?

>>150965271
The ship functions as a living space, housing for NPCs (NPCs require places to stay aboard you ship, with different levels of accomodations). Rooms require certain people to crew them, and rooms have slots for certain machinery.

For instance the Life Support room has an upgrade path, the upgrade path allows for larger and more complex equipment. However the more complex the equipment the more or better people you need to crew it, and thus making it so you need to get more crew space.

There are also luxury rooms that help crew moral. Defensive rooms. War Rooms. Etc.

Many rooms have a lot of slots to decorate with, the most being the bar with 14 small wall decoration slots, 6 medium wall decoration slots, 1 large wall decoration slot, 2 large furnishing slots, 6 medium furnishing, 10 small furnishing slots, maximum 15 staff, 10 luxury machinery slots, 10 entertainment machinery slots, and 10 food/drink processing machinery slots.

You manage a ship, a crew, and build a larger vessel. The game is focused on the vessel and in game events are both triggered by certain rooms, and certain items in rooms. There are both generic and unique crew members.

At the moment I am working through modeling. I do not come to /agdg/ often, but would like some input.

>>150965908
What the game amounts to on a whole can be described as this:

>Sunless Sea in space with a far greater focus on resource management and interpersonal crew relations.

Star hopping and stopping at strange ports. Interacting with individuals, picking up crew members, unraveling mysteries, etc. There is no "open space" in the game for character movement except for inside one's ship and for movement of said ship. Ports are simply places to stop at and interact with statically.

>>150965908
for the cosmetic customization, nothing matters, do whatever you want

for the other upgrades, i'm assuming that there is a certain amount of space in a room, and upgrading and expanding a system requires you to use some of that space?

if you start a system in one room, and bump into the walls before maxing out the system, are you out of luck? or can you add and remove walls?

>>150965075
also you have to make the choice whether you want a game where you can do anything to customize your ship, including building walls and rooms, or you want to constrain your player to the more optimal choices.

like, you could let your player build their ship from scratch, making shitty suboptimal ships 90% of the time. or you could have N rooms per ship, that basically function just like equipment slots in an rpg.

if there is any choice that is always made the same way, cut it out because it's not a real choice

for events and shit, look at what desertdev is doing >>150961326

>>150965531
if you are aboard a satellite orbiting a planet in a star system busy with space traffic, you have more options for which ships to hack, since ships leave and enter the system, your planet can block communications for a few minutes, etc etc

if you're still in the experimental phase, can you try the half-lambert lighting described in this book

http://gen.lib.rus.ec/search.php?req=unity+shaders&lg_topic=libgen&open=0&view=simple&res=25&phrase=1&column=def

I think it maybe better suited for "cartoon" style more than the default toon shader.

Both Overwatch and Team Fortress uses half-lambert shading/lighting instead of toon shading

That happened but I think they got at least half of their money back from the Odd Gentlemen. After that, they laid off a lot of their employees, maybe twice? I think they hired way too many artists too soon.

There was a good greentext of the whole story going around when HS was finishing in April.

>>150968685
It feels weird to have the UI elements be on the bottom of the screen rather than the top. Especially bottom left; when I learned about composition we learned that bottom left of an image is basically a deadzone that people don't usually look at.

this has been coming along really nicely. i'm glad you kept the book portal thing to some extent. there's definetly still a market for older style cerebral puzzle games, its one of those stable niche markets that's never going to go away.

I guess the problem I'm having is that the bars are so small; if I stare at the whole screen I barely notice them unless I look at the bottom left, and then I'm not really paying attention to the rest of the screen, even in my peripheral.
The knight is pretty low to the bottom though. Maybe just stack them vertically instead of horizontally so they don't run along the very bottom.

>>150969896

Sadly yes its the only way I can excuse it lacking so horribly in some respects.

TLDR if you are planning to depend on others or think the answer is to work with others, than you are fucking

Long version below.

You have learned nothing.

Pls do not depend on other people. You can take your destiny into your own hands.

If you are 27 and neet you can put 16 hours into something at least 12 hours. The idea that you need someone else is pathetic.

Also, if your motivation to get fit is due to girls it will fade in two weeks.

How long have you been neet?

If it more than 1 year and your thinking someone is going to save you, than you are a fucking idiot.

Who would work with someone like you? You would just be dead weight.

Shouldn't you add some more sounds to your game?

Come on guys be useful for once and give me an actually good and viable idea for a lewd jam game.

>>150972907
when enemy dies
if all enemies are dead
give score

>>150972907
Count the number of bullets the player has fired; if it's 1 when all enemies are dead, award bonus.

>>150972985
Because lewd jam actually won the vote and people were pissed that the "joke option" beat out stealth jam

>>150972907
No idea what engine etc you are using, but the obvious solution is calling for the check in the destructor of the bullet. So whenever the bullet disappears / stops traveling, regardless of if it hit a wall or traveled too far or whatever, you then check if everything is dead.

Can someone link me to some good victory/failure sound effects for minigames? I looked on freesound.com but most of them sounded a bit too chiptune-y for my game.

A platformer is a game that focuses on jumping (on moving platforms and shit), but nobody uses it like that.

ie: Mario is a platformer, Metal Slug shouldn't be (2D action?) but everyone will call it a platformer anyway.

>>150976218
>call it a platformer anyway.
Ive seen people on /vr/ call it horizontal shoot em up.
Who knows

>>150976207
what are you looking for? chimes and horns? applause and jeering? beeps and boops?

>>150976218
Metal Slug/Contra and the like are called run n gun

IMO:
Side-scrolling describes a perspective, not gameplay. It's similar to top-down, first-person, etc.
So SMB is a side-scrolling platformer and Contra is a side-scrolling shooter.

Is it worth finding an actual sound designer?

Implementing sounds seems easy enough but I imagine there's a lot of stuff you only learn with tons of experience. I want to avoid the common pitfalls.

I got fired a couple of months ago and decided to try this "doing what you love" hippie shit at least once before looking for another job I hate.

I worked 6 years as a mechanical engineer before this, so going from that to neet gamedev wannabe is a bit of a downgrade.

Calling my peeps now, no LPs for /agdg/ games.

You dug your own graves.

>>150977819
That's why I don't plan to create a tumblr/twitter until my game is like 90% finished.

Fuck I can't decide what kind of game I want to make for lewd jam
A metroidvania&kirby-inspired game where you get different lewd costumes by beating enemies?
A fighting game with Smash controls with lewd fighters?
Something completely different?
Help.

Well I think it looks good now. The pivot point is at the exact centre of it, so I think what's causing that feel is the fact that coin isn't exaclty symmetrical.

Then the coin itself is off-centre.

But he claims each area can't have more than maybe one or two 512x512p tilemap. That sounds like bullshit to me.
