For all intents and purposes, pointers ARE your unique ID. Don't complicate your design because you're scared of them.

If you don't want a full raw pointer, you can use a list iterator instead, with the bonus of easily being able to get the next one.

Drama between the original creator/ideas guy and artist. The artist claimed that the creator was being a dick and blocking progress, and the creator claimed the artist was being a dick and blocking progress. Unfortunately for the creator, the artist's contract stated that he retained ownership of all of his productions, so he left, taking all of his art, and saying he'd sue if the creator used it, taking off to make his own game, cloud season. The butthurt creator released a torrent of the entire game up to that point in retaliation. No one knows who is right, but people wildly pick sides and bully regardless.

progress!

color ramped shading is GREAT, the guy who posted the pdf saved my life. I also added a bunch of sliders to control the darkness of cast shadows and other things

I still like it unlit though, are shadows too strong in B?

>>151068690
I've seen you post this a few times, and always felt there was something a bit off about this model. The body is a bit too big compared to the head, proportionally, I think.

>>151068690

>>151071902
Can you increase the SSAO radius somehow?

So if I'm making an rpg where the battles take place on a seperate scene designated for the level, the process should be
>Get random encounter
>save party stats and coordinates
>load battle scene
>battle the bad guy
>save stats that might've changed from damage or level ups
>reload the level with old coordinates and new stats?
Is this right (for unity)? Is just doing all this on one scene but shifting the camera to the battle corner a smarter idea?

>>151073015
AYOOOOOOOOO

>>151071935
I really like it but where are you going to use it? like the other anon say, it's a bit to energetic for the game you are making, but it would probably work for a title screen or an intro.

>>151073056
yeah, but I actually reduced it a lot so it wouldn't make black halos around the objects. am I dumb?

Don't add stupid mechanics like this unless it's a turn based strategy game. If I have to move with WASD and try to press number keys at the same time I will not play your game.

OO Paradigms (or OOPs) are widely understood in retrospect to have been a mistake. But a decade of churning people through academics and industry, before people realized the mutating, rotted path they were on, has led to many people in a state of critical denial about this.

>If anybody's at fault, it's whoever thought letting the artist keep his assets if he quit was a good idea.
Yeah I'm completely baffled by the decision to allow this in the contract. The company owns the assets bottom line. Letting your employees own something the company uses is such a retarded move I've never actually even heard of such a thing until this point.
If anything, the artist is right on one point - the main guy was shit at management if he'd draft up such a contract that would put the entire project in jeopardy if the artist decided to leave (which he did)

Commission artfag to draw some hot (clothed) full body artworks that the player will be staring at for the majority of playtime, and some steamy lewds. Premise is that you meet girls, and have a month to swoon them before they move. Your MC will hang himself if he can't get laid by the third girl, game over.

This would be primarily a menu-based game with random events, kinda like monster rancher, where you click on an activity, watch a small scene, and then get statboosts/results (which could range from great results, or could be "oh shit MC broke his leg, do nothing for 3 days"). A typical in-game day lets you spend the time boosting stats (lifting, talking in front of a mirror, studying, etc), getting money from a part time job, shopping, sending gifts to the qt girl, and resting

At the end of the week you will go on a date with the girl, which will be rng as shit (Speechchecks, dicerolls, everywhere) but thats what good stats will be for. If you get enough hearts from the dates, you will get a steamy CG and GOOD END. If after 4 dates you don't have enough, girl will move, the month will reset, and you get another qt girl to try to fug.

>>151076060

Yes, you can hot swap compiled c++ code if you really wanted. C++ is a hot verbose sweaty mess of shit though so I don't know why you'd want to use it as a scripting language.

>>151082498
Well, I have to admit some JRPGs have over the top story. Which wouldn't be a problem, but the execution is usually horrible. They talk too much yet say so little. However when it's not about the actual story of the game, but about the love side story, then it's usually pretty good. At least they always give me enough motivation to engage in the next battle.

The combat is no way hard, I give you that. With a certain amount of grind, any battle can be won. When they have magic resistance system or something that makes things interesting. I think JRPGs are best played on handhelds. When you have 15 minutes on the bus, so you just do 3-4 battles in the forest.

I had no problem with the UI ever.

>>151083159

With that effort you can just include the Lua library in your C++ game and use Lua scripts.

I don't have much yet, desu. Just the stuff you saw in th webm... B-BUT I have a somewhat artistic talent more or less (pic related is an old drawing of mine). I never tried pixel art, nor sci-fi art, but I'm sure I could do something if I work on it.

I defeinitely wanna work on a shmup though, that's for sure, and you seem to be quite good already with coding and stuff. Do you play shmups yourself?

>>151083041
how do I go about getting this artist without paying? It doesn't have to be a superb model, just something to skate around in.

SHould I make some maps first before requesting an artist? I have nothing to show for it, and they might be thinking I'm a bullshitter/waste of time.

I do software development but want to do game development when I get home. I have experience in 2D game dev, and just installed Unreal engine.

To what extent do I have to prototype to convince an artist to make a model for free for me?

>>151082818
It doesn't use copyrighted assets, does it? I thought Nintendo didn't care about IP and only went after copyright issues.

>>151083976

Make game with dev graphics

How much do you ahve to have? Depends on the artist.

It takes about 3 months to learn how to draw, how long have you been drawing? (completely serious BTW if you focus on fundamentals, do quickposes/etc.)

>>151084036
Nintendo intends to jew off of every one of their IPs until the end of time. Not sure if it was here but a day or two ago I saw an image of Nintendo crying about how emulating a SNES game is stealing food out of their mouths.

Looks pretty good anon. I wouldn't think drawing robots and space ships would be too hard once you have the grasp of art in general, but what do I know.

>Do you play shmups yourself?
Yeah, but I mostly stick to older stuff. Danmaku's not my really my fancy, and most newer games have gone in that sort of direction.

Why isn't this working?

if (Input.GetMouseButton (0)) {
RaycastHit2D objhit = Physics2D.Raycast (transform.position,(Vector2)Input.mousePosition,grapplemaxdist);
if (objhit != null) {
transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position,objhit.point,grapplespeed);
}
}


The player moves to (0,0) coordinates

>>151083976
>they might be thinking I'm a bullshitter/waste of time.
Well exactly, so make enough to show you aren't.

The core gameplay made well enough that you can make a short video without any obvious bugs re-record it several times if necessary and a small level should be okay

>>151082818

Damages now apply an impulse to spawned gibs. The actually position of the explosion is lowered so that the gibs are biased to fly up.

Now I need to handle impulses to entities like the player (rocket jumps anyone?). I also need to play some older shooters to see how/if other entities are impacted. My main fear is messing up pathfinding if I push monsters into bad spots in a map.

>>151084942

I see... I play all kinds of shmups, old, new, doesn't matter to me.

Did you do the coding and artwork yourself in that webm? Looks pretty good.

>>151084884
Nah, moreso I may be in the middle of working on other stuff and don't want to spend that dev time polishing up a demo.
I like agdg because I always get very honest feedback. Even if the game is a hit, I'll still post or at least lurk here, I've met a lot of cool devs here and like following their progress.
also if i had millions of dollars i'd still be sitting on a computer in a basement, the only difference is the green tea i sip while browsing agdg would be more high quality/expensive

Coding yes, that boss's art is ripped from EDF (No, not that one) and cleverly manipulated Mega Man Battle Network sprites. I'm shit terrible at art, but I can code and I can sorta into music.

>>151084551
The issue isn't that they suddenly care about Metroid, it's that if they allow fan made projects to go uncontested, they lose any weight in protecting their copyright on IPs that actually matter to them when they need to seriously go after somebody.
If they're lenient for an exceptional case then that can be used against them in future cases they care about.

>>151084806
I used to draw for 2 years but quit after getting carpal tunnel, starting to draw again now.

Routine is doing the exercises from http://drawabox.com/
once a day, with at least 30 minutes of quickposes (30 seconds), then the rest of my time is spent drawing whatever I like.

I'll do this for 1 month then get back into digital art.

i did some research because i'm gonna learn to draw eventually too, i'm gonna share it with you

my research was basically seeking out people who had learned to draw during adulthood and asking them how they did it.
my research shows that a common factor amongst those people is that many have read "drawing on the right side of the brain" and "fun with a pencil". thus, you should probably read those 2 books.

> y = (1-t) * obj_player.y + t * obj_player.y

You're retarded if you make a game with a big company's IP and expect them to leave you alone about it and not protect their rights.

Thanks again for this, there is so much information here, fuck.
Just reading a couple of these posts makes me realize how little my enginedeving is in comparison.

Tales of Woe from F# dev:
It turns out that F# kinda gives a shit about whitespace and indentation ala Python but not to such a strict extent. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?
30 minutes spent trying to decipher a cryptic error stating that my let block wasn't complete to find out there was an extra space in one of the cases for the match/when block inside it.
Everything else has been smooth sailing so far. Will be working getting tmx files loaded up (pretty easy with using either MonoGame.Extended or some other library that implements tmx support already), make the camera follow the player, and implement some basic behaviors for tile types (grass tiles to grow into tall grass and then turn into dry/dead grass over time) tonight.

I think the point is once you've made it, telling agdg to go fuck themselves.
If you've made 20 bucks its not an achievement, and the money is better spent on booze

If OCaml was C++, F# would be Microsoft's special snowflake Managed C++. A language that's superficially similar while completely missing the point (module system resp. manual memory management).
