nth for HUD design still being a pain in the ass.

I need to figure out what I'm gonna do with those three skinny red things on the far right of the bar, I'm trying to make a nice visual indicator to show the player how many rows of bullets they have left.

So I'm gonna either turn them into pistons that raise up when you have a stock, or make them tube lights like I attempted here.

Bottom price office computers are capable of running Hearthstone smoothly. Bottom tier smartphones and tablets can run Hearthstone smoothly. You don't need a gaming rig to play most PC games now, but a toaster from 2007 is a toaster, plain and simple.

If your computer is so old that it can't handle video streaming and games from 2010 just stay out of PC gaming. There are plenty of 3rd world hobbies for human garbage.

would an xcom clone with hexagons be superior to rectangles?

Hexagons are superior to rectangles, but I actually think xcom is an example of a game where it doesn't really matter.

Hexagons are superior but a bit harder to work with. Still imho it doesn't matter in xcom games that much. I don't know about a xcom type game with a hex grid so you might have some novelty if you go that route. So if you're a noob go with squares otherwise try hexagons.

Someone want to come up with the topology/heightmap of a 12x12 tile forest stage? It's for a TRPG. Humanoids are about 3 units tall and trees can be marked with "T". Something like this would work:

001223322211
00122222T211
111122122211
etc

A char's movement range is generally 5 tiles or less. Jump is around 4. Curious to see what others come up with.

Well in my opinion the problem isn't that you can't run it, it's that it eats up too much resources for what it is. It's just a card game not a 3d action game. Granted, I don't have a gaming computer but it's a pretty solid build for my needs and I don't know about you but I like to play games like that when I take a break from work without having to turn everything off, and when I have a browser and photoshop with a project open I'm having problems with running it smoothly and that's why I stopped playing that game.

Imagine the kind of literal human garbage that sits around in gamedev threads crying about hearthstone "running like shit".

Fucking hearthstone. A 2d game designed to run on any computer made after 2010.

So I have a legitimate question about art.

I want to draw anime styled. I can draw decently using traditional means, but I have no idea how to translate that into digital means properly.

Specifically (using CS6 with a tablet by the way), no matter what brush I use, the result always ends up looking blurry. When I look at other peoples' work, it always looks nice and crisp.

How do I achieve a clean look? Is it in the software or am I clearly doing something wrong? I don't have any examples because I never save my blurry shit.

Do you make your maps via 3d modeling or with the engine itself?

>>151685196
You can vectorize and then rasterize back if you feel like you need to shade things manually. The main benefit of vectors are that they are mathematically smooth - your brushwork will have little imperfections and antialiasing issues that make it look lower quality.

Where do the magic users in your game world draw energy from?
If it's boring old arcane magic then "mana" or "magicka" will do
If your magic users are warlocks then "fel energy" or "runic power" might be more appropriate
If it's druid hippy pinko communist nature magic then call it "totemic energy" or "flower power" or some shit, I don't know I hate druids
If it's grimdark 40k shit then "blood" or "anguish" or something like that will fit the theme

If you want to continue using Photoshop, do this: >>151685937. These are brush settings I use to get a little "crispiness" with lines. Also I forgot where, but you can crank up the hardness all the way.

And draw on a really large canvas. most of the artists you're thinking about use huge canvases, like 3000x3000 at 300 dpi. That way, when they resize everything tends to look cleaner. At close range, most of their pictures have lots of tiny imperfections.

its legal to use ambient recorded sounds if the creator gave you permission. it would be incredibly difficult to identify the exact waveform of something this long of something like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdIJ2x3nxzQ

for example, but if that's your concern you can always ask the uploader. you can risk a download if you want but they usually allow it as that's kind of why they do it anyway. they may expect to be at least credited.

i tend not to finish most of what i do but if you find anything here appropriate for your games atmosphere you can use it for free. if not i understand, solo piano is not a highly sought game backing soundtrack.

An open world exploration fantasy meets age of sail game that takes place on a great ocean with no major landmasses, only islands, which are procedurally generated with different biomes and sizes and geography. Players create boats to travel across the ocean and can destroy or board other players boats, upgrade their boat with better cannons or get better swords and tools for themselves, or claim an island and modify the terrain to build structures on it or dig out caverns. Different areas of the sea have different environments, like volcanic islands or freezing waters filled with icebergs or great vortexes or impossible features like lines of waterfalls onto a lower ocean. Both the islands and waters are filled with procedurally generated flora and fauna. Some players will become pirates that raid islands or intercept boats to acquire resources, others will build fortresses and labryinths, some will team up or go alone, or just explore the near infinite number of unexplored areas.

It's not easy but many devs have done it, and it's worth it.

so in my single-player card game, things work like normal competitive games where you get new cards every turn.
Since you can choose when you want to aggro the enemies, though, this leads to a degenerate loop where you can just spam end-turn until you get the cards you want before engaging.

In other words, players have to "pay for" card draw using something other than time, since time is an infinite resource. That, or make time a non-infinite resource somehow. Any ideas, /blog/?

digging your character design. can't really get a good look at it but the helmet flame effect looks great

>>151696373
Enemies get stronger over time. Or respawn. Or more of them spawn. Or you have limited cards and running out is heavily punished.

There are probably more options.

>>151696373
Limit the deck size and total number of cards in hand, so you have to scrap what you don't use

This would make deck size into its own clock, which I might be okay with.

How about, to refill your deck from your discard the way it happens now, you have to burn a card from hand, and when you try to draw but there aren't any cards left, you lose.

This breaks thin deck strategies, but it does force players to keep filling their deck with new cards even if they've found something that works

mite b kewl

>>151699941
>thin deck strategies
force multiple copies of the same cards for those strategies so you have some reserves

I suppose I need to explain some stuff.

I use placeholder assets while doing the programming. The enemy and the level assets are from the asset store, but the player 3d model is my design. Also, the paper bag on top of the enemy is something I made up.

I'm not tackling GUI art yet but I still need to display health and stamina while playtesting so that's why the UI is like that.

Using placeholders is a common trick in gamedev to playtest and get the feel of things while the art isn't done yet.

So recently i am thinking about making a really simple monster turn based fighting game, i got my ideafagging all down except one major thing, 1v1 like in pokemon or multiple vs multiple monsters?

Multiple vs Multiple would have more complex and challenging fights, but might be shorter in length and therefore the game would have shorter gameplay in general, and considering i want to sell this game, it could even be too complex for all those normalfag cucks.

One vs One is less complex, beginner friendly, makes the fights artificially longer and also gives more attention to individual monsters, but at the same time i know it will be heavily compared to pokemon if i do that, and people who like complex battles might also ignore the game. I also thought about just adding both 1v1 and MvM but this is even more Pokemon like.

I want to have a battle system that turn based players are familiar with, not too complex and also something which will not be too heavily compared to pokemon/digimon, or at least not called outright copied. Anyone got an idea?

>>151699753
>placeholders
Just don't. This only placates the asset hunter mentality.

>>151700203
You better make your own ground textures or there will be hell to pay.

>>151700487
I don't think it's possible to avoid being compared to pokemon if your game involves acquiring and battling monsters. Even if it wasn't turn based people would mention it.

That said, multiples can turn into boring focus-one-focus-two-focus-three, or using nothing but AoE, so I'd go with 1v1.

it's fine if a game uses purchased assets

if they're out of place, the game's going to look bad, and will therefore do badly
if it looks seamless with the rest of the assets, it'll look good, eliminating the only problem

It's not that which is the problem
It's the fact that people just post "Art" that has no game functionality

I wanna see a game, not your art.
Making sprites isn't gamedev, it's art
Using those sprites is gamedev.

One game I really liked that was posted here was the one with the mspaint boxes with numbers on it for animations and it would rapidly cycle through them. It has a lot of neat shit going on with it even if it was ass ugly

I personally think, if the art was adapted to fit the rest of the game, then it's fine. Like >>151701005 said.

I say adapted as in, you open up the texture in Photoshop perhaps to tweak the colors, or maybe do it kit bash style where you overlay several textures on top of each other, regardless if you're mixing textures you got online with textures you made yourself.

Same goes for 3d models and sounds.

Nothing is fine when autism gets involved.
Yanderedev has custom skins for his MC but the MC herself is still a Unity store asset. This means that autists will forever shriek about his game using Unity store assets, no matter what. The MC is a perfect model and fits the theme of his game and the game world perfectly but asset hunters are autists by nature, they don't care.

The thing is though autistic purists make up maybe 0.5% of the playerbase, so it will never matter. If Yanderedev set about making his own MC from scratch, it would appease exactly 0.5% of his audience, making it pointless.

finally working on bossfight animations for the Dryad, so far its not so bad! I think I'm going to have to put her body on a separate layer to make attack tells more obvious, also need to figure out what I want the tree's parasite that crawls out from the little hole should look like.

Saving for future use because too few people understand this. If your first time (and second and third) isn't shit, you're delusional.
