Some more genetic algorithms - first time something actually evolved to follow a target.
They're pretty bad at it, but it's pretty cool that they actually try to reorient themselves when they veer off course. They do it with this inefficient full twirl, I'm not sure if that's just the way they learned it, or a bug in my code that leaves them no other choice.

Made a small gif to show how the resolution change works right now. Will probably add a 720p and a 1080p option at some point.

>>151610924
A multiplayer ecosystem simulator, basically.
You'll design a creature, add things like sensing organs, claws, poison glands and stuff, and let it loose. It can then appear in other player's ecosystems and multiply.
I fully expect players will turn this into some hyper-agressive deathworld, which sounds pretty cool to me.

Like hardcore Spore creature stage, I guess.
Hardcore in the sense that creatures must actually be viable to survive, and they can die out.
It will mostly be like this old game called GooGrid, I had loads of fun with it before it died.
It was really cool how players competed with each other indirectly. If someone made a really effective swarm of bugs that filled the whole map, someone soon designed a creature that was specialized on only eating those.

I know, I know. I stopped following GM updates after the dissaster 8.1 was in my opinion, and started this project on 6.1 out of comfyness/lazyness. The looked on studio and found out is not that bad.
Eventually I'll probably move it to Studio to make an android version of the game, but is not my priority right now.

I know shit about programming, but pretty comfortable with working in GM. I´m also ok with 3d modeling. Would making a 3D game in Unity be impossible for me, or is programming not that necessary?

What's the best health system for a shoot em up? One hit and dead, or a health bar, or something else?
I don't think I'll be going full bullet hell, so maybe one hit dead would be best?

Hey guys, working on music for a city in the snow area that will be full of cat npcs walking around, pic related so far

Needs a complimentary bass. But I like it a lot.

>>151614994
Too allegro, try to slow down a bit the music.

But only if you want to make that area like that, then add some bass and it's good to go.

>>151614994
>https://instaud.io/uYz
It's too cheerful compared to your other works. You should have a DKC 1-3 icy theme, in my opinion.

Other than that, the last music you've posted on your Tumblr… Man, holy shit.

I like the art style, but, l don't know, it's really hard to explain, but I always get the feeling that something is missing. Shadows maybe? Or just some life in general, some detail. That cat snowman, I mean, snowcat is a good start, but it should have more, in my opinion. Some track in the snow, for example.

Thanks, I forgot about adding bass lol

>>151615328
Thanks, it's supposed to be cheerful with a bunch of cats walking around but I'll see how slowing it down changes it. The rest of the snow area where you are alone is cold drone music

>>151615418
I'll give that some thought, DKC ice themes are great. I kind of want the cat city to be cheerful and fun since of the 4 races they're the playful/comedic group, and the rest of the snow area is cold drone music, so after you go through the lonely cold snow region you are finally home at the cat city. But if it's too cheerful I'll definitely go for DKC style stuff as you said.

And thanks man, glad you like it!

I agree, right now I just have basic tiles from my artist (maybe like 6-7 tiles for each area total) since we're still making progress, soon he will go back and do more tiles and sprites. I have a huge art assets needed list and there will be a lot more to make the area more interesting, along with npcs walking around, cats throwing snowballs at each other etc.

It seems like the second is the optimum. I realize the "just brute force it", "whatever works" attitudes are valid for these kind of things in a small game, but I'm curious.

I wouldn't go that far, it's just not a big problem if you're going to make a tutorial to explain the few mechanics there are. I would at least suggest using a different icon for durability and putting the durability of the item you're going to pick up below the name.

My idea was to change it so that when the player is shot and killed, there are ~10 particles that fly out from him in the direction the bullet came from. Then split the player up into pieces so it looks like he was cracked and split apart.

save references to the transforms you are going to be accessing frequently in variables and assign them in Start(), that way you avoid lookups, just remember to handle them properly if you are destroying and creating them constantly.

Transform menuTransform;

void Start() {
menuTransform = GameObject.Find("MyMenu").transform;

How do you do anti-piracy easter eggs?

I thought of a cute thing that I would put in a game if I were selling it and somehow figured out how to put a flag in the game that tells the game whether it was purchased or downloaded.

I would make it so the first boss you fight keeps respawning whenever you kill him. It just reboots the script that brings in the boss whenever you bring his health to zero.

Realised my UI gets in the way of seeing the edges of the play area. Couldn't think of a solution other than just letting you move the camera out into the void a little. Which breaks everything related to pixel positioning (quite a lot) and some things unrelated (somehow).

Also realized that at some point the function which calculates which tile you're mousing over stopped working properly.

How do I not get lost? I keep thinking of shit like "what should I implement next?" instead of making actual progress. I've got shit like loading resources, drawing stuff on the screen, and having a camera follow a dot already, but the way I'm doing this seem like it'll be a mess pretty soon.

it feels a lot more satisfying to use the shotgun but its a lot easier to kill stuff with the default weapon since you aren't defenseless if you miss. anyone have suggestions balancing them for a 2D game?

Why are all mediocre programmers so sensitive about visual scripting? Is it like those who think they are cool because they started using something other than OOP?

Really pathetic either way. Visual scripting is really good for some stuff, and at other times pure coding is better. The industry isn't using things like blueprints because its a bad thing you know.

Honest Q, why do people using toy languages like C# sperg out about visual scripting?
Don't they realise its really really useful for some stuff, and if you are an actual good programmer you use it in conjuntion with c++?
That's what like every UE4 dev here does at least. And yeah check out some UE4 devlogs, they talk about this alot how that now nativizing of blueprints is supported most big companies have people programming nodes rather than objects for this reason.

>Please spoonfeed me the info

Not the same guy, but yeah if you guys are honestly curios goto the ue4 youtube page and look at their resources, they have a ton of streams on different subjects and this gets mentioned in most of them.

stop now. and don't do it.

That's the only advice I can give for an engine dev.

They're literally re-inventing the wheel, while not learning anything. If you want to learn about engines, the best starting point would be to contribute to an existing engine.

So, if you really want to get into engine dev, find an opensource engine and contribute to that, and learn from the codebase.

Unless the engine contains a bunch of links to references about each section of code the renderer is going to be completely indecipherable for a beginner. You can't just read the source code for some shit like voxel cone tracing and go "aha, I get it!", there's multitudes of papers published on that shit because it's fucking complicated. And if you don't already know how it works you're never going to be able to look at the source for it and know what to google for to find an explanation.

The open source definition is maintained by the open source initiative. There's a very particular definition. https://opensource.com/

FOSS just means Free and Open Source, that is GPL like and Open Source. Whereas Open source licences doesn't always have the GPL like clause to copy the license.

MIT is an open source license. GPL is a free software license. FOSS just includes both.


UE4's code base is different. UE4 is entirely a propriety license. Just because it can be viewed doesn't mean it is open source.

Can you change and distribute UE4 codebase?

Not to forget NET Core, the official cross-platform .NET base.

I've got something like this working, whenever I play emulated games I really like to be able to just use the Windows 10 resizing to make it as big as I want.

Not sure why more 2d games don't do it.

What's the matter, don't like fearless concurrency, zero-cost abstractions, move semantics, guaranteed memory safety, threads without data races, trait-based generics, pattern matching, type inference, minimal runtime, and efficient C bindings?

You live in a world where these semantic subtleties hold meaningful (and legal) weight

well you're not using integer scaling are you
some fames will just look like ass if you resize them to the window without that

>>151640567
>rustaceans
You mean nodevs

>>151640883
What do you mean?

The only scaling being done is 1x, 2x and 3x.

Not him, but you should stop using fandom-like names, makes you sound like you're in high school.

oh I see it now, good job on that
something else that happens with many games is that the way the screen is drawn can't take into account resizing on the fly. so they either don't or just freak out
