is it the texture or is the "white" space really white on the texture? if you have enough sampleing the "noise" should go away set it to 500

>>151362591
>youve clearly never watched anything but shitty american baseball.
Well, that's the truth. I don't find real life sports very interesting in general. I doubt the location of the game would change that.

>>151362658
cycles or blender render?

also what resolution rendering at?

>>151362848
not that guy
use blender internal with approximate AO

cycles is designed to maximize noise so as to sell you renderfarm time

>>151361187
ummmmm excuse me but your "fighting game" seems to have a platform in it.

>>151362848

cycles ofc blender render is outdated and mostly from what i know unsupported. i rendered that at 100x100 but i just took a screen shot of it and it kind of made it into mixels =S

File: weapon_modifiers.webm (2MB, 1306x640px) Image search: [Google]

2MB, 1306x640px

Added some weapon enchantments. I'm not thrilled with the system but it's good enough for the demo. Basically it just supports raw stat and skill modifications, but nothing fancy like bonus damage, changing weapon delay, return damage, etc. In the real game I will probably move towards prefixes/suffixes that have fixed effects.

Anyway all the bonuses in this video aren't very exciting because they're all tier 1 items. The higher the tier, the more enchantments it can get, and the better those enchantments can be. A tier 5 item can modify up to 5 skills/stats - stats up to +15 and skills up to +5.

ok i changed my light to be in the same direction as your's and i ended up with the same pixel problem. doing higher sampling does make it "blend in" more but you really can't do much else besides keep upping the sampling because that side is shadowed and because its such a small image =/

i would say anywhere from 2500 - 3500 samples and i can hard see the pixel difference anymore on the "shadow" side of the cube image

>>151364020
>>151364108
all "combat" is, is a process by which you delete pieces from the playfield.
1HK means one "hit" returns one deletion. if you have a system by which multiple "hits" are required for one deletion then your system is bloated. you havent added complexity, you've added a buffer, grind, repetition.
i do definitely have games which contain 1HK but not my recent games because my recent games are more complex than babys first piece deletion game.

You make it seem like those failed games choose not to press some magical marketing button.
The only marketing options you have is literally to just publish your game on steam and that's it.

What else is there? Are you going to spam rewiev sites with emails begging them to review to game? everyone hates people who do that and it rarely works anyway, are you going to go to random forums and spam links to your steam page? also pathetic and never works anyway
Are you going to buy add space on gaming websites? you are too poor for that

>>151369675
Exactly, we agree then, the problem is not that there's not much that can be done. It's that marketing requires a proper budget.
The amount spent doesn't have to be huge anyways, $2k would give you a pretty decent audience if you spent them wisely. If you don't have $2k to invest in your game (which is your business), then you are probably better off working for someone else until you can raise the funds, otherwise you risk killing your game (you can only release it once).
If you have $2k and don't want to risk investing in your game, then it's probably shit anyways.

Thinking that your game is going to automatically sell because it's on Steam is beyond retarded.

I have a few quick questions.
Why aren't there more engines listed, like roblox etc.
Is it because they're inferior to what is linked here or those are just few to start off.

Second, do I need an IDE if I'm going to be using an engine.
I've been reading a book on C# programming and I've been using windows visual studio IDE but I still don't really know what an engine is.

And third, is it a good idea to try and make a playable game without real art graphics using basic representations (simple lines) and then ask an artist friend (which I have but he's busy for a few months) to do the art for an already somewhat ready game prototype that runs on stick figures?
Or is that a godawful idea?

It's a 2D sprite in a 3D realm project, a la Chantelise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57SP1fkXwXs

>>151371817
>Is it because they're inferior
AGDG shits on EVERY tool. Just keep that in mind when someone shits on you or gives you advice.

>>151371817
>Why aren't there more engines listed, like roblox etc.
I can't speak for everyone, but I'm pretty sure it's because people only like engines that are very generalized and allow you to build whatever kind of game you want.

>do I need an IDE if I'm going to be using an engine.
From an engine like Unity, you create and attach scripts in the engine itself, and then just click them from the UI to open them in a text editor. I don't know if there's some more advanced techniques that would warrant an IDE, but you'll know if you get there I guess. You definitely don't need one to start with.

>is it a good idea to try and make a playable game without real art graphics using basic representations (simple lines) and then ask an artist
This is the IDEAL way to do it. There's a bunch of advantages with this; the artist has something concrete to work on, they know you aren't just a worthless ideaguy who isn't actually going to do anything, you're less likely to have decided to quit the project since it's an already working prototype

Also Godot doesn't support C# until the next update (2.2)

>>151371817
>roblox
Isn't that a moddable game? Modding is not a related topic in /agdg/, but it is advised for beginners to get some game design experience with modding or map editing.

>Ide, what is an engine etc.
An IDE is basically just a text editor which makes compiling a one-button-press task.

An engine is a totally different thing. Engines usually come with some sort of support with usual tasks. Like built in physics, loaders for the assets, they can make menu creating more easy etc. Most engines (but not all of them) has some sort of GUI for this task, thus level editing, and basically game creating ends up a rather visual task (while if you don't use an engine, or you use an engine without a GUI (like Löve), you will only see the results of your code after compiling or when running the code). However a GUI for an engine is not the same thing as an IDE.

Working without an engine means that you write the stuff mentioned above by yourself. It is you who write the code to load your stuff, it is your task to handle collisions somehow and so on.

>work without art etc.
It's called 'using placeholders'. Most people do it, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

That's true, if artists have to do all the graphics and music and design everything and direct how all the physics and stuff should be as well.
The plan was to do the programmer's ideas for games first, but he couldn't decide on anything to do so I get to play director for now.

you people only have yourselves to blame, i've been telling you for years that your protagonists should actually be gay xD

Inventory added.
I made it flexible, so i can grab any item and slap an inventory component on it and then as soon as the player equips it, he has an access to it.
In the video i placed the inventory on the backpack model, so if the player equips it he can store items he found in there, and if he tried to for example reload a weapon, it will automatically check if the backpack has any valid ammo for that weapon stored in it.
He can also get another backpack, load it with items and put it on some friendly npc to log it around as a pack mule.
The next step will be providing some simple interface to allow the player to throw stuff out, in case he carries like 20 milk bottles and needs space for more ammo.

If it was done one a CPU where a shader is applied to vertices/pixels one at a time it would.

May I ask how can you monitor GPU performance? I never understood all the specifications of a video card. I usually just check the CPU usage and the RAM usage of my game, and there is this monitoring tool which came with my video card, however I don't know what values should I care for (I just usually use it to check the temperature). The only thing I have noticed so far is that VRAM usage increases by 2-3 MBs if the game's running.

The little bullets gray out and lower as you fire your weapon, and the glass tube at the top fills up to show you how many rows of bullets you got left. The meter itself fills up for charging/overheat, and while I feel like it's not amazing, it works.

But I got a problem, I plan on adding two extra modes for the player to toggle between, but I need to add something to this meter that shows the player they're switching between the two modes. I don't have a lot of room to work with here. Someone suggested I add a piston that pops up, seeing as the HUD is mechanical looking. I just don't know where would be a good place for it.

HUD design is fucking hard

Why do you keep posting this without ever saying anything?

Post whatcha making right now and what you use.
Doing a shadow of the colossus knockoff on my own engine with C++.
It's going pretty well and no I'm not that shitty nordic Sotc ripoff dev, I stay pretty close to the original just with more added instead of taking a spin on it.
Gonna post some progress later today with webms.

Making a hopefully comfy randomly generated hedgemaze sim. I don't really have much planned out right now besides more animals, juice, and ponds.

Using GM:S

What the hell is your character anyway?

if you want more juice consider butterflies, they would add a dash of color and movement to the screen. they can float over hedges and break up the solid green

Can't the piston just pop up from the right side of the HUD?

Something like beige and brown, maybe?

>>151381841
Looking great, anon! I like the names, "Horizon's end" sounds like a badass endgame location.

>>151382024
That's a major improvement over the diaper-looking briefs. I can't help but feel like the bright yellow HUD clashes with the desaturated look of the environment, though.

>>151382389
Improving my Space Jam 2D shooter game until it feels OK enough (GM:S).
Eventually I may return to my exploration platformer (also GM:S).

>>151382965
That looks fucking adorable. Maybe you should re-apply autotile after parts of the scenery are cut off, though.

>>151383080
Let you in on a secret, godot is actually really bad.
So don't use it.
And it's not the "agdg thinks everything is shit" type of shit.
it's genuinely not good and has a crapton of problems by trying to be everything in 1 with its own script language, dated opengl support, performance issues and everything else.

Just googling their github for 5 minutes will give you 50 reasons to stay away from it.
Just use gamemaker/unite/UE4
Or if you're a richer fag get something commercial that is actually good and not trash, or better yet hire someone to make shit for you.

>>151382068
Yup.

SFW game. Got burnt out on animating the things for the other one.

>>151383268
>Can't the piston just pop up from the right side of the HUD?

I've considered that, might be an issue with that if a player plays in a smaller resolution, the piston might go off screen, so I'd have to nudge the bar itself a few extra pixels to the left if I do that, and shouldn't a good HUD always keep shit lined up with everything else?

What do you guys use for UI inspiration? Feeling lost here

>>151383483

So tell us about your other game, have you abandoned the old project then?

>>151383595
Other games where I liked the UI.

>>151383483
You didn't answer.
Will you tell your children or future partner about how you poured your heart and soul into a shitty game which you spent hours and days animating an anthropomorphized underage dog running around in his underwear in an attempt to arouse fetischist into not only fucking animals but also children? Whilst you also probably wanked off from it judging by your posts?

>>151383665
this is actually simple and straight to the point.

>>151383483
>SFW game
in that case you won't make it, because without the fetish aspect you are left with a generic platformer. abandoning it was a mistake

>>151381975
Yeah, something like that. The bottom bar is actually your Hustle Meter, which fills up and increases your reputation, which is the stars. The stars act like multipliers when earning tips.
The Special meter fills up when you take care of customers whose interest meter is still in the "hot zone". Once its filled, you can hit up customers for private dances and earn even more money.

Holy fuck I never actually thought about how sick those people are before your post. Like even a porn actress I can have symphathy for, even if she does the most deplorable things.

But a guy spending months making a game with an "BOY dog" running around in his undies, like how even do you begin to think thats normal or in any way expect people to respect you after that.

>>151383483
So follow up question, read above and, honestly, how do you live with your pedophilia animal fetisch consuming your life?

It's supposed to be a tank, pic related. I think its ambiguity has a lot of meme potential.
>>151383218
That's a great idea, thanks!

I'm glad you think so, dude. I'll test it out.

qt mushrooms

>>151382660
A bit more detail on the pyramids maybe?
Also, the monster kind of looks like a plant because you can see the origin of all the tentacles above ground, maybe a big hole with tentacles coming out of it separately would look better.
Good stuff anon.

Can someone give me an idea for a game to make for Android?

>>151383595

what type of game?

>>151384432
An arcade game where you throw clothing items and you can customize your house.

A flappy bird clone if you want to make money

>>151383657
This current thing is running on the same engine, so we're using the opportunity to clean up things related to the Anubis game as we implement new things into it. Should make it easy to return to the Anubis project later on.
>>151383836
It'll be interesting to see how sales are vs the other project.
>>151383676
>>151384052
It seems like you folks care about this a lot more than I do. I just like money.

>>151384432

take an atari game that was popular.

make it with low poly 3d fancy graphics.

>>151384604

Good luck. Can you tell us more about this other game? If memory serves right you're responsible for the level design in Anubis, which was both clever and cruel in design, which I enjoyed.
